Question
**Question:**

Array a is an integer array with all the elements in ascending order. The element at position 15 is the 15ᵗʰ largest and also the 15ᵗʰ smallest. You can assume integers are 4 bytes long. How many bytes are there in the array?

- ○ 116
- ○ 124
- ○ None of the other answers is correct.
- ○ 120

**Explanation:**

Given that the element at position 15 is both the 15ᵗʰ largest and the 15ᵗʰ smallest, this means there are 15 elements in the array. Since each integer is 4 bytes long, the total number of bytes in the array is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Total bytes} = 15 \times 4 = 60 \text{ bytes} \]

However, none of the given answers matches this calculation. Therefore, the correct choice is:

- ○ None of the other answers is correct.
