In optimal merge pattern we Pick always two Minimam element.  And min heap is best data structures if we want always Minimam element. Like  optimal merge, Huffman coading, kruskal.

Optimal Merge Pattern
Given a set of sorted files f1,f2,f3,f4,f5 of lengths 99,27,71,199,259 we need to merge these files into a single sorted file Using Optimal Merge Pattern.

In Optimal merge pattern when do we get more than one tree?
In Optimal merge pattern when do we get more than one tree(Sub trees) when creating a merge pattern? Can you explain/draw optimal merge tree for n=7, <8,15,3,10,20,2,30>

A average number of comparison performed by the merge sort algorithm ,In Merging two sorted lists of length 2 is
If I have two lists of length 2 then no of comparisons in the worst case would be 2 only , since If I have say 10,20 in list A and 5,7 in list B so then on merging 10 is ...
