SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol: A software is a set of instructions or programs. It instructs a system for performing a task. Superset means a set A is a superset of another set B if all elements of the set B are elements of the set A. Similarly, here all programs and instructions are included in software so Software is superset of programs.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol: Protocols are a set of rules for governing exchange of information in an easy, reliable and secure way. It tells us how to format, transmit and receive data during communication, regardless of differences in their underlying infrastructures, designs or standards.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol: The final phase of the compiler is the target code generation. It gets input from code optimization phase and produces the target code or object code. It consists of relocatable machine code or assembly code. Intermediate instruction are translated into a sequence of machine instructions that performs the same task.
Six Phases of the Compilation Process are:-
Lexical Analysis.
Syntax Analysis.
Semantic Analysis.
Intermediate Code Generation.
Code Optimization.
Target Code Generation.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol: In Relative addressing mode, Effective address of the operand is obtained by adding the content of program counter with the address part of the instruction. The address reference is position-independent, it is relative to current location. So, we can easily relocate these programs in the memory of the computer.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol: In analog systems, all the information remains in analog form.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol: Concurrent processes are processes in OS in which multiple processors execute instructions simultaneously for better performance. All share the CPU and memory. But they do overlap in time while execution because at a time CPU entertain only one process but it can switch to other without completing it as a whole.
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol: A Data Flow Model represents the flow and exchange of information within a system with the help of diagram. Diagrams follow a hierarchy. It consists of several layers, where each layer is unique to a specific process or data function.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol: For ‘n’ Boolean variables, there are 2n rows in truth table. To check whether output is ‘1’ or not, in worst case we have to check all the 2n possible input combinations which means every possible rows. It will take O(2n). So, Order is Exponential.
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol: Stack uses LIFO system and queue uses FIFO system. So, statement (i) and (iv) are wrong.
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol:
Given: Coefficient of coupling (k) = 0.1
L = L1 + L2 ± 2M
= L1 + L2 ± 2kL_1L2 [ ∵ M = k√(L_1 L_2 ) ]
= 2 + 2 ± 2(0.1) √(2 x 2)
= 4 ± 0.4
So, L = 3.6H or 4.4H
