Hey Sukriti,
The implementation you are applying is not appropriate for the array given in input.
Instead of using this condition in your program
else if(a[mid]>key)

    {

        if(a[mid]>a[i])

            j=mid-1;

        else

            i=mid+1;

    }

I’ll suggest you to use this one
if(a[i]>=a[mid]) {

      if(key>=a[mid]  && key<=a[j])  {

        i=mid+1; 

      }

      else {

        j=mid-1;

      }  

     }

to check key in sorted part
and instead of using this
else

    {

        if(a[mid]<a[j])

            i=mid+1;

        else

            j=mid-1;

    }

use this
if(a[i]<key && key<=a[mid]) {

     j=mid-1;

    }

to check key in un-sorted part
Thank you
