Hence, the correct answer is option “A”.
Explanation of Solution
Sequential search:
- Linear search or sequential search is the process of searching the particular element in the array one by one until it founds out the searching element.
- Here, it uses the loop iteration to start from the beginning of the array to the last element until it finds out the searching element.
- This searching process continues until the end of the last element until the searching element found from the array.
- If the searching element is not present in the array, then the search process returns the message according to unsuccessful search.
Explanation for incorrect options:
b. Binary search
This is the process that uses divide and conquer strategy to find the specific element of an array. The searching process starts from middle element of the array. If the searching element is less than the middle element then it eliminates the second half of the array and it continues searching with the first half of the array.
Hence, option “B” is wrong.
c. Natural order search
Searching the value from the naturally ordered sequence is referred as natural order search. So, this directly finds out the element without comparing all the elements from the array.
Hence, option “C” is wrong.
d. Selection search
This is the algorithm which initially sorts the array by finding the minimum element from unsorted array and it is placed at the beginning. From this sorted array, the search process is continued to search the element. So, this directly finds out the element without comparing all the elements from the array.
Hence, option “D” is wrong.

- While the sequential search algorithm and the binary search algorithm both have their uses, it is unclear whether it is best to use one over the other.arrow_forwardThis algorithm makes several passes through an array and causes the larger values togradually move toward the end of the array with each pass.a. bubble sortb. selection sortc. insertion sortd. sequential sortarrow_forwardThe _________ search algorithm repeatedly divides the portion of an array being searched in half.arrow_forward
- Create a sort algorithm that counts the variety of key values before sorting the array using key-indexed counting using a symbol table. (This technique should not be used if there are many different key values.)arrow_forwardQuestion) An unsorted array of size 10,000 contains random integers in the range 1 .. 10,000. The program performs 100,000 searches where searched values are randomly selected from the range 0 .. 10,000. What will be the average number of comparisons for a single search when sequential search algorithm is used? 100,000 50,000 10,000 5,000arrow_forwardIf an array contains the elements shown below, show the array's contents after each pass of a Bubble Sort algorithm that sorts the array into ascending order. 54 22 39 17 63 45 21arrow_forward

- Q.No.1. In computer science, binary search, also known as half-interval search, is a search that finds the position of a target value within a sorted array. Binary search compares the target value to the middle element of the array. Develop the pseudo code that takes any number from user and performs Binary Search.arrow_forwardsolve in python coding 3. Selection Sort• The idea in a selection sort is that you locate the largest item out of a set ofunsorted items, and move it into position at the end of the unsorted items. Asorted region grows one item at a time, while an unsorted region shrinks.• As done in Part 1, fill an array with random numbers.• Write a function that locates the largest element in the portion of the arraybeginning at the start of the array, up to a given index, and swaps the largestitem with the item at the given index.• E.g. If searching a[0] to a[7] locates the largest item at a[4], a[4] and a[7] would beswapped.• Write a second function that calls the first function repeatedly, until the entirearray is sorted. (Each time the first function is called, it will search one fewerelement)arrow_forwardThe sequential search algorithm and the binary search algorithm both have their own benefits, but what are some general guidelines for choosing between them?arrow_forward
