- The following C function takes a simply-linked list as input argument. It modifies the list by moving the last element to the front of the list and returns the modified list. Some part of the code is left blank. [GATE – 2010]
typedef struct node{ int value; struct node *next;}Node;Node *move_to_front(Node *head){ Node *p, *q; if ((head == NULL: || (head->next == NULL)) return head; q = NULL; p = head; while (p-> next !=NULL) { q = p; p = p->next; } _______________________________ return head;}
a. q = NULL; p→next = head; head = p;
b. q→next = NULL; head = p; p→next = head;
c. head = p; p→next = q; q→next = NULL;
d. q→next = NULL; p→next = head; head = p;

- A hash table of length 10 uses open addressing with hash function h(k) = k mod 10, and linear probing. After inserting 6 values into an empty hash table, the table is shown below:
| 0 | |
| 1 | |
| 2 | 42 |
| 3 | 23 |
| 4 | 34 |
| 5 | 52 |
| 6 | 46 |
| 7 | 33 |
| 8 | |
| 9 |
Which one of the following choices give a possible order in which the key values could have been inserted in the table? [GATE – 2010]
