Please analyze the running time of the following variants of merge sort.
(a)Divide the original input array constant times first (e.g) we divide the array 22 times); then sort the subarrays by using insertion sort. Finally, merge all sorted subarrays recursively to get the sorted array. Dividing the input array a constant times means it stops dividing somewhere even it is not the base case.
(b) Divide the input array unitl each subarray has constant c >2 numbers; sort those subarrays with inserstion sort; merge them recursively.
(c) Divide the array as normal until each subarray has only one number; mege these subarrays one by one to obtain the whole sorted array.
