Cause Quick sort is in place sorting and thus requires no extra space

Can you explain how to implement quick sort in space? The general recursive implementation takes O(logn) space

it depends on the situation. In one the split part is simple and the merge part is complex (and viceversa for the other)

Quick sort also preserves order. Merge sort has undefined behavior wrt order.

Quick sort cannot preserves state where as merge sort preserves the state of array

quick sort has average case time complexity of O(nlogn) and space complexity of O(1).Evn though mergesort worst case time complexity is O(nlogn) ,it has a space complexity of O(n).
