Consider a stack π and a queue π. Both of them are initially empty and have the capacity to store ten elements each. The elements 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 arrive one by one, in that order. When an element arrives, it is assigned either to π (pushed on π ) or to π (enqueued to π). Once all the five elements are stored, the output is generated in two steps. First, stack S is emptied by popping all elements. Then queue π is emptied by dequeueing all elements. The output obtained by following this process is 4 3 1 2 5 .
Given the output, the objective is to predict whether an element was assigned to π or π.
Which of the following options is/are possible valid assignment(s) of the elements?
Note: In the options, the notation π₯π denotes that element π₯ was assigned to π and π¦π denotes that element π¦ was assigned to π.
- A.
1π, 2π, 3π, 4π, 5π
- B.
1π, 2π, 3π, 4π, 5π
- C.
1π, 2π, 3π, 4π, 5π
- D.
1π, 2π, 3π, 4π, 5π
