Extreme Programming (XP) and Scrum are both Agile Process Models. XP (Extreme Programming) focuses on technical practices and customer satisfaction. Scrum is a framework that organizes the work into sprints and promotes iterative progress. The other options listed are not strictly considered Agile: Waterfall is a traditional, linear project management method. Spiral is a risk-driven process model that combines elements of both iterative development and the Waterfall model. Incremental is an approach used in Agile but is not itself a specific Agile process model. So, the correct choice is (A) and (C) only.

A Red-Black tree is a self-balancing binary search tree (BST) with an additional property: it ensures that the path from the root to the furthest leaf is no more than twice as long as the path from the root to the nearest leaf. This balancing property helps maintain a relatively balanced tree structure, which ensures that operations like insertion, deletion, and searching remain efficient (O(log n) time complexity).

Half Adder (A) - (IV): A Half Adder is a 2-bit addition circuit that adds two binary digits and produces a sum and a carry output. Decoder (B) - (I): A decoder is a combinational logic circuit that has n inputs and produces 2^n output lines. It converts binary data into a specific output. Register (C) - (II): A register is a small, fast storage location in a CPU used to store intermediate data, often during calculations or temporary storage. Main memory (D) - (III): Main memory, also known as RAM, is used to store the program and data at runtime while the CPU is executing tasks.

For the first instruction, it will take 5 clock cycles to complete (one cycle per stage). For the second instruction, the first instruction has already passed the fetch stage, so the second instruction will start fetching in the second cycle, while the first instruction proceeds through the next stages. This means that from the second instruction onward, we have overlapping stages. So, the total number of clock cycles required to complete 10 instructions will be: 5 cycles for the first instruction. 1 cycle for each of the remaining 9 instructions (since they all overlap in the pipeline after the first). Thus, the total number of cycles required for 10 instructions is: 5+(10−1)=5+9=14 clock cycles

The source IP address is set by Host A and will not change during transmission unless network address translation (NAT) or some form of IP address rewriting occurs, but this is not stated in the problem. The source IP will not differ. The destination IP address is part of the original datagram and does not change during transmission. It will stay the same throughout the journey from Host A to Host B.

Q → RS: In this production, R is followed by S. This means Follow(R) should include First(S).
The First(S) set includes {z, ε} because S can produce either z or ε.
Since Follow(R) will include First(S) (except ε), we add z to Follow(R) from First(S).
Additionally, since S can be ε, the production Q → RS implies that Follow(R) should also include Follow(Q).
Finally, T → Qx tells us that Follow(Q) includes the terminal x. So, Follow(R) will also include x.
Follow(R) includes {z, x}.

To calculate the signal speed (in km/sec) in the cable, we need to use the relationship between the transmission speed, propagation delay, and frame size in a CSMA/CD network. ### Given:
- Transmission rate = 100 Mbps
- Frame size = 1250 bytes
- Distance = 1 kilometer
### Step 1: Convert the frame size to bits
1 byte = 8 bits, so: Frame size = 1250 bytes = 1250 × 8 = 10000 bits ### Step 2: Calculate the transmission time for the frame
Transmission time = Frame size in bits / Transmission rate Transmission time = 10000 bits / (100 × 10^6 bits/sec) = 0.0001 sec = 100 microseconds ### Step 3: Use the propagation delay formula
In a CSMA/CD network, the minimum frame size must be large enough to ensure the sender can detect a collision. The round-trip propagation delay should be at least the time to send the frame. The round-trip propagation delay time is given by: Propagation delay = Transmission time = 100 microseconds One-way propagation delay = 100 microseconds / 2 = 50 microseconds ### Step 4: Calculate the signal speed Propagation delay = Distance / Signal speed Rearranging for signal speed: Signal speed = Distance / Propagation delay Signal speed = 1 km / (50 × 10^(-6) sec) = 20000 km/sec ### Final Answer:
The signal speed in the cable is 20000 km/sec.

correct option is (A) and (D) only.

The correct sequence is: (C), (D), (A), (B), (E).

The correct answer is (A) and (B) only.

(A)True. This is the correct representation of an IPv4 address with a subnet mask. The /n represents the network prefix length (subnet mask).
(B)True. The first address (network address) in a subnet can be obtained by setting the host bits (the rightmost 32-n bits) to 0.
(C) False. Class C addresses (typically in the range 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255) are used for unicast communication, not multicast. Multicast addresses are in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 233.255.255.255.
(D) True. IPv4 addresses are divided into five classes: A, B, C, D (for multicast), and E (reserved for experimental use).
(E) True. Supernetting involves combining multiple smaller networks (subnets) into a larger network by adjusting the subnet mask to cover a larger range of IP addresses.

To determine which of the schedules, S1 or S2, are conflict-serializable, we need to analyze the dependencies and conflicts between the transactions in each schedule.
A schedule is conflict-serializable if we can reorder the operations such that the resulting schedule is serial (i.e., no interleaving of transactions, just one transaction after another), and no conflict is violated.
r1(x) and r3(x) are conflicting (both read and write on x).
r1(z) and r2(z) are conflicting (both read and write on z).
w1(x) and w3(x) are conflicting (both write on x).
w1(z) and w2(z) are conflicting (both write on z).
So, S1 is conflict-serializable.

The serial portion takes 200 clock cycles.
The parallel portion takes 800 clock cycles.
The number of processors=16
Total time=Serial portion+Parallel portion=200+800=1000 clock cycles.
Parallel time with 16 processors= 800/16=50 clock cycles
Total time with 16 processors=Serial time+Parallel time with 16 processors
Total time with 16 processors=200+50=250 clock cycles

This is a correct description of a right-regular grammar (a specific type of regular grammar). In right-regular grammars, production rules must be of the form A→xB (where a terminal symbol is followed by a non-terminal) or A→x (where a terminal symbol is followed by nothing, i.e., it produces a terminal symbol).
Every regular grammar can be converted to a finite automaton (both deterministic and non-deterministic), and vice versa. Regular grammars describe regular languages, which are exactly the class of languages that can be recognized by finite automata.
