Question

Please explain your answer with at least 50 words :-)

In the process of inserting a new item into a 2-3 tree, the tree has ended up into the following temporary state. Which of the following statements are true? C10, 20, 30] 070] 5] C15] [25] [35] 6] [80, 90] The new element is definitely among 10, 20 and 30. The new element is any element in the range of 5-35 inclusive. It is not possible to tell which item is newest because the tree is perfectly 2-3 balanced now. The new element cannot be any of 5, 15, 25 or 35 because it still hasn't reached the bottom of the tree

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Since it's a 2-3 tree this means that a node can have the maximum of two nodes within and 3 children.

and the circled node in the figure given below is showing that where the 2-3 tree is imbalanced but since it's temporary state this means that that is the node and below it the newly inserted element.

so the correct answer will be

The new element is in the range of 5-35 inclusive.
