![Assume that you are given an O(n)-time algorithm Select(A, k) that takes as input an array A of n distinct positive integers and an index k where l 〈 k 〈 n and returns the k-th smallest element in A. Using the Select as subroutine to design an O(n) algorithm that, given an array A of n distinct positive integers and an index k e [1,...,n], determines the k numbers in A that are closest to the median element in A. (The median element in A is the n/2 -th smallest element of A.) Why does your algorithm run in linear time?](https://homework-api-assets-production.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/store/170836139/1605162750ab0c596639a1d6de210a48d4f61c582b.png)
