a) Both the merge sort and quick sort algorithms sort a list by partitioning it. Explain how the merge sort algorithm differs from the quick sort algorithm in partitioning the list. b) Show the steps how the following list of keys is sorted using either Merge sort or Quick sort. c) Show the number of comparisons required for any one the sorting algorithms for the given sequence: (i) Bubble Sort (ii) Selection Sort (iii) Insertion Sort. The list of keys to be used for part b) and c): 80, 30, 78, 55, 48, 70, 35, 60, 90, 8, 15, 75, 10, 62, 58 a) Both the merge sort and quick sort algorithms sort a list by partitioning it.
