Input:
The first line contains an integer 'T' r...read more
Ans. 
Bubble Sort algorithm is used to sort an array of non-negative integers in non-decreasing order.
• Implement the Bubble Sort algorithm to sort the array in place.

• Compare adjacent elements and swap them if they are in the wrong order.

• Repeat this process until the array is sorted.

• Time complexity of Bubble Sort is O(n^2) in the worst case.

• Example: For input [6, 2, 8, 4, 10], the output should be [2, 4, 6, 8, 10].

Ans. 
Given a graph with 'N' vertices and 'M' edges, determine if it can be colored using two colors without adjacent vertices sharing the same color.
• Use graph coloring algorithm like BFS or DFS to check if the graph can be colored with two colors without conflicts.

• Check if any adjacent vertices have the same color. If so, it is not possible to color the graph as described.

• If the graph has connected components, color each co...read more
