Q.45- A certain processor deploys a single-level cache. The cache block size is 8 words and the word size is 4 bytes. The memory system uses a 60-MHz clock. To service a cache miss, the memory controller first takes 1 cycle to accept the starting address of the block, it then takes 3 cycles to fetch all the eight words of the block, and finally transmits the words of the requested block at the rate of 1 word per cycle. The maximum bandwidth for the memory system when the program running on the processor issues a series of read operations is __× 106 bytes/sec.
Ans: 160 to 160
Q.46- Let ???? be a full binary tree with 8 leaves. (A full binary tree has every level full.) Suppose two leaves ???? and ???? of ???? are chosen uniformly and independently at random. The expected value of the distance between ???? and ???? in ???? (i.e., the number of edges in the unique path between ???? and ????) is (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
Ans: 4.25 to 4.25
Q.47- Suppose ???? is distributed uniformly in the open interval (1,6). The probability that the polynomial 3???? 2 + 6???????? + 3???? + 6 has only real roots is (rounded off to 1 decimal place) __.
Ans: 0.8 to 0.8
Q.48- Let Σ be the set of all bijections from {1, … , 5} to {1, … , 5}, where ???????? denotes the identity function, i.e. ????????(????) = ????, ∀????. Let ∘ denote composition on functions. For a string ???? = ????1 ????2 ⋯ ???????? ∈ Σ ???? , ???? ≥ 0 , let ????(????) = ????1 ∘ ????2 ∘ ⋯ ∘ ???????? . Consider the language ???? = {???? ∈ Σ ∗ | ????(????) = ???????? }. The minimum number of states in any DFA accepting ???? is.
Ans: 120 to 120
Q.49- Consider that 15 machines need to be connected in a LAN using 8-port Ethernet switches. Assume that these switches do not have any separate uplink ports. The minimum number of switches needed is__________.
Ans: 3 to 3
Q.50- What is the minimum number of 2-input NOR gates required to implement a 4-variable function expressed in sum-of-minterms form as f=\sum\left(0,\;2,\;5,\;7,\;8,\;10,\;13,\;15\right)? Assume that all the inputs and their complements are available.
Ans: 3 to 3
Q.51- A relational database contains two tables Student and Performance as shown below:
Student
Roll no. | Student name |
1 | Amit |
2 | Priya |
3 | Vinit |
4 | Rohan |
5 | Smita |
Performance
Roll no. | Subject code | Marks |
1 | A | 86 |
1 | B | 95 |
1 | C | 90 |
2 | A | 89 |
2 | C | 92 |
3 | C | 80 |
The primary key of the Student table is Roll_no. For the Performance table, the columns Roll_no. and Subject_code together form the primary key. Consider the SQL query given below:
SELECT S.Student_name, sum(P.Marks)
FROM Student S, Performance P
WHERE P.Marks > 84
GROUP BY S.Student_name;
The number of rows returned by the above SQL query is __.
Ans: 5 to 5
Q.52-Consider the following C program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
float sum = 0.0, j = 1.0, i = 2.0;
while (i/j > 0.0625){
j = j + j;
sum = sum + i/j;
printf("%f\n", sum);
}
return 0;
}
The number of times the variable sum will be printed, when the above program is executed, is _____.
Ans: 5 to 5
Q.53- Consider the following C program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a[] = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10};
int i, sum = 0, *b = a + 4;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
sum = sum + (*b – i) – *(b – i);
printf (“%d\n”, sum);
return 0;
}
The output of the above C program is __.
Ans: 10 to 10
Q.54- In an RSA cryptosystem, the value of the public modulus parameter ???? is 3007. If it is also known that φ(????) = 2880, where φ() denotes Euler’s Totient Function, then the prime factor of ???? which is greater than 50 is ________.
Ans: 97 to 97
Q.55- Consider the following relations P(X,Y,Z), Q(X,Y,T) and R(Y,V).
How many tuples will be returned by the following relational algebra query?
\textstyle\prod_{X\;}\left(\sigma_{\left(P.Y=R.Y\;\wedge\;R.V=V_2\right)}\right)-\prod_X\;\left(\sigma_{\left(Q.Y=R.Y\;\wedge\;Q.T>2\right)}\left(Q\times R\right)\right)Ans: 1 to 1
