IGNOU MCS-208 (January 2026 – July 2026) Assignment Questions
Q1: For each of the Singly Linked List, Circularly Singly Linked List, Doubly Linked List, Circularly Doubly Linked List, write one application that is exclusively suitable for that list. For example, X may be an application for whose implementation, only Circularly Singly Linked List is suitable and others are not suitable. Justify your answer.
Q2: We can test whether a node m’ is a proper ancestor of a node ‘n’ by testing whether’ m’ precedes n’ in X-order but follows n’ in Y-order, where X and Y are chosen from {pre, post, in). Determine all those pairs X and Y for which this statement holds.
Q3: Explain Left Leaning Red Black Trees. What are their advantages and disadvantages?
Q4: Write a short note on the recent developments in the area of finding minimum cost spanning trees.
