Let A and B be two arrays of length n, each containing a random permutation of the numbers from 1 to n. An inversion between the two permutations A and B is a pair of values (x, y) where the index of x is less than the index of y in array A, but the index of x is more than the index of y in array B. Design an algorithm which counts the total number of inversions between A and B that runs in O(n log n) time.
(c) Consider an n x n array ARR stored in memory consisting of 0’s and 1’s such that, in a row of ARR, all 0’s comes before any of 1’s in the row. Write an algorithm having complexity O(n), if exists, that finds the row that contains the most 0’s. Step by step explain your algorithm with an illustrative example.
Computer Science Given an N x N matrix M with binary entries i.e every entry is either 1 or 0. You are told that every row and every column is sorted in increasing order. You are required to output a pair (i,j) with 1 <= i and j <= n corresponding to the entry of the matrix satisfying Mij = 1 and Mrs = 0 for all 1 <= r <= i and 1 <= s <= j except for Mij Informally this includes the entry of M = 1 and is closest to the top left corner.   for example: M = [ 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1] output is (2,3) or (1,4)   M = [ 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1] output could be (1,2) or (2,1)   Design a divide and conquer algorithm, explain correctness and runtime of the algorithm.
