part (A)

Explanation / Answer

To solve part C, what we will do is compare the smaller one in the final weighing ( to determine heaviest ball ) and then compare it to all the ones the heavier ones were compared to, which takes additional log n time. If it greater than all of them, then it is the second most heaviest ball.
