Hashing

Question 12

Consider a hash table of size seven, with starting index zero, and a hash function (3x + 4) mod 7. Assuming the hash table is initially empty, which of the following is the contents of the table when the sequence 1, 3, 8, 10 is inserted into the table using closed hashing? Note that ‘_’ denotes an empty location in the table.

A
8, _, _, _, _, _, 10
B
1, 8, 10, _, _, _, 3
C
1, _, _, _, _, _,3
D
1, 10, 8, _, _, _, 3
Question 12 Explanation: 
Consider a hash table of size 7
Starting index is zero i.e.,

⇾ Given hash function is = (3x+4) mod 3
⇾ Given sequence is = 1, 3, 8, 10
where x = 1 ⟹ (3(1)+4)mod 3 = 0
1 will occupy index 0.
where x = 3 ⟹ (3(3)+4) mod 7 = 6
3 will occupy index 6.
where x = 8 ⟹ (3(8)+4) mod 7 = 0
Index ‘0’ is already occupied then put value(8) at next space (1).
where x = 10 ⟹ (3(10)+4) mod 7 = 6
Index ‘6’ is already occupied then put value(10) at next space (2).
The resultant sequence is (1, 8, 10, __ , __ , __ , 3).
