1.	What is the recurrence relation for stooge sort?(a) T(n) = 2T(2/3n) + O(n)(b) T(n) = 2T(2/3n) + O(1)(c) T(n) = 3T(2/3n) + O(n)(d) T(n) = 3T(2/3n) + O(1)The question was posed to me in an international level competition.The question is from Sorting topic in division Sorting of Data Structures & Algorithms II
Answer» Correct answer is (d) T(n) = 3T(2/3n) + O(1) The best explanation: In stooge sort recursion is applied to 2/3 part of the ARRAY 3 TIMES. Rest of the PORTION of code has a constant time complexity. So the overall recurrence relation becomes T(n) = 3T(2/3n) + O(1).
