Let T be a tree with n positions. Define the lowest common ancestor (LCA) between two positions

Question:

Let T be a tree with n positions. Define the lowest common ancestor (LCA) between two positions p and q as the lowest position in T that has both p and q as descendants (where we allow a position to be a descendant of itself ). Given two positions p and q, describe an efficient algorithm for finding the LCA of p and q. What is the running time of your algorithm?
