Solution

The number of passes to sort the given numbers using insertion sort will be 5.

Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Pass 1: Compare 14 and 12. Since 12 is smaller, swap them. The list becomes 12, 14, 16, 6, 3, 10.
  2. Pass 2: Compare 14 and 16. They are already in order. Then compare 16 and 6. Since 6 is smaller, move 16 to the right and insert 6 before 14. The list becomes 12, 6, 14, 16, 3, 10.
  3. Pass 3: Compare 12 and 6. Since 6 is smaller, move 12 to the right and insert 6 at the beginning. Then compare 16 and 3. Since 3 is smaller, move 16, 14, and 12 to the right and insert 3 at the beginning. The list becomes 3, 6, 12, 14, 16, 10.
  4. Pass 4: Compare 16 and 10. Since 10 is smaller, move 16 to the right and insert 10 before 14. The list becomes 3, 6, 10, 12, 14, 16.
  5. Pass 5: All elements are already in order, so no more passes are needed.

So, the correct answer is 5.
