Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heuristics can be mental shortcuts that ease the cognitive load of making a decision. Examples that employ heuristics include using trial and error, a rule of thumb or an educated guess. Heuristics are the strategies derived from previous experiences with similar problems.

Detailed explanation-4: -Heuristic algorithms are used to solve NP problems and decrease the time complexity of problems by giving quick solutions. It’s popularly utilized in artificial intelligence problems. One example is informed search, where additional information is available to determine the next step towards finding the solution.
