Assume that in a certain computer, the virtual addresses are 64 bits long and the physical addresses are 48 bits long. The memory is word addressable. The page size is 8k Band the word size is 4 bytes. The Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) in the address translation path has 128 valid entries. At most how many distinct virtual addresses can be translated without any TLB miss?

The index node (inode) of a Unix-like file system has 12 direct, one single-indirect and one double-indirect pointer The disk block size is 4 kB and the disk block addresses 32-bits long. The maximum possible file size is (rounded off to 1 decimal place) __________ GB.

Note: This was Numerical Type question.

Consider the following statements:

• I. The smallest element in a max-heap is always at a leaf node.
• II. The second largest element in a max-heap is always a child of the root node.
• III. A max-heap can be constructed from a binary search tree in Θ(n) time.
• IV. A binary search tree can be constructed from a max-heap in Θ(n) time.

Which of the above statements is/are TRUE?

Consider the following snapshot of a system running n concurrent processes. Process i is holding X_i instances of a resource R, 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Assume that all instances of R arecurrently in use. Further, for all i, process i can place a request for at most Y_i additional instances of R while holding the X_t instances it already has. Of the n processes, there are exactly two processes p and q such that Y_p = Y_q = 0.

Which one of the following conditions guarantees that no other process apart from p and q can complete execution?

Let G be any connection, weighted, undirected graph:

• I. G has a unique minimum spanning tree if no two edges of G have the same weight.
• II. G has a unique minimum spanning tree if, for every cut G, there is a unique minimum weight edge crossing the cut.

Which of the above two statements is/are TRUE?

There are n unsorted arrays: A₁, A₂, ....,A_n. Assume that n is odd. Each of A₁, A₂, ...., A_n contains n distinct elements. There are no common elements between any two arrays. The worst-case time complexity of computing the median of the medians of A₁, A₂, ....,A_n is ________ .
