SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. A Candidate key that is not the primary key is called an Alternate key. When there are two or more candidate keys, only one of them serves as the primary key in SQL and all others as alternate keys only.

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol.
• Dijkstra’s algorithm- finding the single source shortest paths between nodes in a graph.
• Floyd’s algorithm – known as All Pair Shortest Path Algorithm.
• Prim’s algorithm – to determine minimum cost spanning tree.
• Warshall’s algorithm – finds transitive closure of a given graph.

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. TE10 is considered dominant mode because it has lowest cut off frequency which is equal to c/2a. We know that frequency is the inverse of wavelength i.e. (λ) = 1/f . As cut off frequency is minimum so it will have maximum wavelength.

S4. Ans.(c)

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. “Static” means unchanged or constant. Static Web pages contain the same prebuilt content each time the page is loaded. Standard HTML pages are static Web pages.

S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. ‘Inheritance’ is the mechanism provided by Object Oriented Language. It helps an object to acquire the properties of another object usually child object from parent object. Inheritance feature is used for concept of code reusability. In inheritance a class can inherit properties and function of existing well written class.

S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. Dispatcher module gives control of CPU to the process selected by the short-term scheduler. It helps in switching to user mode, jumping to the proper location in the user program for restarting it.

S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a TCP/IP network layer protocol that provides troubleshooting, control and error message services. It is an error reporting protocol and used by networks devices like routers for sending the error messages and operations information.

S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. Software is a set of instructions, data or programs. It consists of programs, documentation and operating procedures to operate computers and execute specific tasks.

S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. (P + Q’)(PQ’ + PR)(P’R’ + Q’) = (P + Q`)P(Q` + R)(P`R` + Q`)
= (P + Q`)P(P`Q`R` + Q`Q` + P`R`R + RQ`)
= (P + Q`)P (P`Q`R` + Q` + 0 + RQ`)
= (P + Q`)(PP`Q`R` + PQ` + PRQ`) = (P + Q`)( 0 + PQ` + PRQ`)
= (P + Q`)(PQ` + PRQ’) = (P + Q`)PQ`(1 + R)
= (P + Q`)(PQ’) = PPQ` + PQ`Q`
= PQ` + PQ` = PQ’
