SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(d)
ALU, Control Unit and Register
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol.
A is equivalent to 10 in decimal.
D is equivalent to 13 in decimal.
Now,
⇒ 〖(A09D)〗_16 = 16^3 × A + 16^2 × 0 + 16^1 × 9 + 16^0× D
⇒ 〖(A09D)〗_16 = 4096 × 10 + 0 + 16 × 9 + 1 × 13
So, 〖(A09D)〗_16 = 40960 + 144 + 13 = 41117
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Polling is the most simple way for an I/O device to communicate with the processor. It periodically checks status of the device to see about the time for the next I/O operation.
S4. Ans.(c)
candidate key
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. In the given instruction data or operand from register B is added to the data present in the register A and the result is finally stored in register ‘A’. This instruction is in “Direct Addressing Mode”.
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. The Big O notation defines an upper bound of an algorithm. It is the Best algorithm of worst case input.
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Swap space is located on hard drives or Disk which have a slower access time than physical memory. It is a part of virtual machine. Swap space temporarily holds memory pages that are inactive.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. IETF stands for “Internet Engineering Task Force”. Request for Comments (RFC) is a formal document from the IETF. It is formed from the committee drafting and subsequent review by interested parties. These documents describe the methods, behaviors, research, or innovations for the working of the Internet.
S9. Ans.(c)
Black Box Testing
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. A LPF passes all the frequencies below the cut-off frequency. The cut-off frequency is low so higher frequencies are rejected. Due to this reason these are used for recovering of low frequency message signal.
