Answer / angu
Binary Search is efficent and faster because in Binary
search we search in systematic way which helps to fetch the
data easy. where as in Sequential search we have to come
across tll the nodes to get the desired data.

Answer / binita
binary search is faster
as the root has the value greater then left subtree & less
then right subtree so sorting is easier

Answer / rohini c
Binnary search tree complexity is log n where as linear search terr complexity is 'n'so it is quite clear from complexity that Binnary tree is faster than sequential search or linear search........complexity means rate of execution time.

Answer / p.divya poojitha
binary search is faster than sequential searching.in
sequential searching the desired record is 4000 if u search
that record can be done with 1....4000 so it takes large
time for searching compare complexities of both searching
meathods are
binary search O(logn)
sequential search O(n)
