SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Linking loader is a loader combining the functions of a relocating loader which can combine a number of independently compiled program segments into an executable program.
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Sequential Method is the standard method used for accessing files and devices. Cassette Tape rewinds itself after every use. So, It is used for obtaining a record from cassette tape.
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. We know that,
⇒ sum of odd degree + sum of even degree = 2 × no. of edges
So, sum of odd degree = 2 × no. of edges – sum of even degree
Since, RHS will always have even value so LHS will also be even. Hence, P statement is correct.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Dynamic Memory refreshes itself periodically so it becomes difficult to interface it.
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. In a complete k-ary tree, every internal node having ‘0’ or ‘k’ children the relation is –
L = (k – 1)*n + 1
where,
L is the number of leaf nodes
n is the number of internal nodes
S6. Ans.(c)
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. In Locality of reference, same value or related memory location are frequently accessed depending upon the memory access pattern.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. Given:
ω = 50
Now,
⇒ ω = 2πf
⇒ f = 50/2π
So, f = 7.96 Hz
S9. Ans. (d)
Sol. We know that Characteristics Impedance is Z_O = √(L/C) and it is independent of length of line.
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. Circular Array can be used to implement both the Enqueue and Dequeue in O(1) time in worst possible time.
