(Solved) : 3 Consider Quick Sort Array 1 N Assume Pivot Element X Used Split Array Lo Hi Two Portions Q44132682 . . .

3. Consider Quick Sort onthe array A[1:n] and assume that the pivot element x (used to splitthe array A[lo:hi] into two portions such that all elements in theleft portion A [lo:m] are ≤ x and all elements in the right portionA [m:hi] are ≥ x) isthe first element of the array to be split (i. e.,A[lo]).

Construct an infinitesequence of numbers for n and construct an assignment of thenumbers 1…n to the n array elements that causes QuickSort, withthe stated choice of pivot, to

(a) execute optimally (thatis A[lo:m] and A[m:hi] are always of equal size)

(b) execute in the slowest possibleway. of equal size) (b) execute in the slowest possibleway.

Can someone please help mewith this question. No coding necessary, just an explanation whatis the best case for the pivot using quick sort and its worstcase
