Answer #1
insert n elements into an AVL tree.
=>  inserting each element takes O(log(n))
=>  so, total time complexity of inserting all n elements is O(n log(n))

finding and removing min element from AVL tree takes O(log n)
finding and removing min element, n times gives all n elements in sorted order.
total time complexity for this operation is O(n log(n))

so, total time complexity is O(n log(n)) + O(n log(n)) = O(n log(n))

this is how we can sort n elements using AVL tree in O(n log(n)) time
