@mohdkaifalam041,

  • FInding the Pivot element in the array is of the O(n), so why would you do such a lot of work, if it is so then you can also use Linear Search which will let you find the element in O(n), Where n is the number of elements in the array.
  • But You would get TLE as the constraint is quite large.

Here is the Algorithm that will let you find the element in O(log n)

  1. Find middle point mid = (l + h)/2
  2. If the key is present at the middle point, return mid.
  3. Else If arr[l…mid] is sorted
  a) If the key to be searched lies in the range from arr[l] to 
     arr[mid], recur for arr[l..mid].
  b) Else recur for arr[mid+1..r]
  1. Else (arr[mid+1…r] must be sorted)
  a) If the key to be searched lies in the range from arr[mid+1]
     to arr[r], recur for arr[mid+1..r].
  b) Else recur for arr[l..mid]
