Suppose that we are storing a set of n keys into a hash table of size m.

Question:

Suppose that we are storing a set of n keys into a hash table of size m. Show that if the keys are drawn from a universe U with|U| > nm, then U has a subset of size n consisting of keys that all hash to the same slot, so that the worst-case searching time for hashing with chaining is Θ(n).
