Q.

What is the time complexity of Kruskal’s algorithm?

A. o(log v)
B. o(e log v)
C. o(e2)
D. o(v log e)
Answer» B. o(e log v)
Explanation: kruskal’s algorithm involves sorting of the edges, which takes o(e loge) time, where e is a number of edges in graph and v is the number of vertices. after sorting, all edges are iterated and union-find algorithm is applied. union-find algorithm requires o(logv) time. so, overall kruskal’s algorithm requires o(e log v) time.
