We can study about Skip list from wiki or so,

Assuming that there are no duplicate elements, do we fetch anything
from the skp list?
Priya,
  What is the complexity of binary search on skip list with and
without duplicate elements.
And in what way it would be better than arrays?

The whole question asked is about binary search on linked list..
Binary search is possible on Linked lists (In partucular a Sorted
Linked list).
The Complexity of it would be N/2+N/4+..+1 in worst case, which comes
to O(N).

In case of binary search on array, the complexity is O(Log N).
Sorting of an array will take O(n log n).

Can we discuss something on the time complexity of linked listes here.
