SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given:
Page fault service time = 10 ms = 10 × 10^(-3)
Average memory access time = 20 ns = 20 × 10^(-9)
Effective memory access time(EMAT) = Page fault for 10^6 times memory access × Page fault service time + (1 – Page fault for 10^6 times memory access) × average memory access time
⇒ EMAT = 1/10^6 × 10 × 10^(-3) + (1 – 1/10^6 )× 20 × 10^(-9)
⇒ EMAT = 10 × 10^(-9) + 1 × 20 × 10^(-9)
So, EMAT = 30 × 10^(-9) = 30 ns
S2. Ans.(b)
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. TTL value tells about the longevity of the packet in the network and decides whether it should be discarded or not. TTL field is used mainly to avoid a situation in which IP datagram which are not in use to keep away from repeating again and again.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. With n vertices, total possible number of edges are (n(n-1))/2. For every edges there are two possibility, either we choose it or ignore it. So, total number of undirected graphs is 2^((n(n-1))/2).
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Terminal Table is a permanent table database which lists all key words and special symbols.
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Program relocation at run time transfer complete block to some memory locations. Program relocation is done on the basis of base address and relative address because blocks are addressed through this address .
Program relocation involves blocks transfer but Absolute addressing mode and indirect addressing modes are used only for one instruction at one time.
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. To convert into hexadecimal digit, at first convert it from octal to binary and then from binary to hexadecimal digit.
Step 1: Octal to Binary conversion.
One octal digit is equivalent to binary digit.
〖(632)〗_8 = 〖(110 011 010)〗_2
Step 2: Binary to hexadecimal conversion.
4 binary digit is equivalent to 1 hexadecimal digit.
〖(110 011 010)〗_2 = 〖(0001 1001 1010)〗_2 = 〖(19A)〗_16
where,
1010 = 10_10 = A_16
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. With n fork statements, there are always 2^n – 1 child processes.
There are 4 fork statements, So number of child process gets created is 15.
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Loop Jamming is the combination of two or more loops into a single loop.
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. In DPCM, instead of transmitting actual samples, difference of message signal samples are quantized and transmitted.
