How many Algorithms questions come in GATE CS?

Algorithms is part of the Algorithms section (see the pattern questions in the section). Its share varies by paper; our tests give 15 per test so one topic is drilled at a time.

Are the GATE CS Algorithms questions free?

The first Algorithms test is free, with solutions. Later tests come with any GATE CS pass or ₹9 each.

How should I practise Algorithms for GATE CS?

Take one timed test, read every solution (right answers included), note the method you missed, then take the next test two days later. Compare with your Algorithms score in a full mock to see if the topic still costs marks.

1. Which of the following functions grows asymptotically fastest as n → ∞?
- a. 2^√n
- b. n^100
- c. (log2 n)^(log2 n)
- d. (n!)^(1/n)
2. Insertion sort (the standard version that shifts larger elements one place to the right) is run on the array [7, 3, 8, 1, 5, 2]. How many element shifts does it perform in total? Give the answer as an integer.
