Question 1

In serial data transmission, every byte of data is padded with a ‘0’ in the beginning and one or two ‘I’ s at the end of byte because

  • A

    Receiver is to be synchronized for byte reception

  • B

    Receiver recovers lost ‘0’ and ‘1’s from these padded bits

  • C

    Padded bits are useful in parity computation

  • D

    None of these

Question 2

To evaluate an expression without any embedded function calls :
 

  • A

    As many stacks as the height of the expression tree are needed

  • B

    One stack is enough

  • C

    Two stacks are needed

  • D

    A Turing machine is needed in the general case

Question 3

Dynamic linking can cause security concerns because:

  • A

    Security is dynamic

  • B

    The path for searching dynamic libraries is not known till runtime

  • C

    Linking is insecure

  • D

    Cryptographic procedures are not available for dynamic linking

Question 4

The optimal page replacement algorithm will select the page that
 

  • A

    Has been used least number of times.
     

  • B

    Will not be used for the longest time in the future.
     

  • C

    Has not been used for the longest time in the past.
     

  • D

    Has been used most number of times.
     

Question 5

Which of the following is not a form of memory?

  • A

    instruction cache

  • B

    instruction register

  • C

    instruction opcode

  • D

    translation lookaside buffer

Question 6

The C language is:

  • A

    A context free language

  • B

    A context sensitive language

  • C

    A regular language

  • D

    Parsable fully only by a Turing machine

Question 7

The solution to the recurrence equation T(2k) = 3 T(2k-1) + 1, T (1) = 1, is:

  • A

    2k

  • B

    (3k + 1 - 1)/2

  • C

    3log2k

  • D

    2log3k

Question 8

Relation R with an associated set of functional dependencies, F is decomposed into BCNF. The redundancy (arising out of functional dependencies) in the resulting set relations is.

  • A

    Zero

  • B

    More than zero but less than that of an equivalent 3NF decomposition

  • C

    Proportional to the size of F+

  • D

    Indeterminate

Question 9

From the following instance of a relation scheme R (A, B, C), we can conclude that :

ABC
111
110
232
232
  • A

    A functionally determines B and B function­ally determines C

  • B

    A functionally determines B and B does not functionally determine C

  • C

    B does not functionally determine C

  • D

    A does not functionally determine B and B does not functionally determine C

Question 10

Relation R is decomposed using a set of functional dependencies, F and relation S is decomposed using another set of functional dependencies G. One decomposition is definitely BCNF, the other is definitely 3NF, but it is not known which is which. To make a guaranteed identification, which one of the following tests should be used on the decompositions? (Assume that the closures of F and G are available).

  • A

    Dependency-preservation

  • B

    Lossless-join

  • C

    BCNF definition

  • D

    3NF definition
