Question 1 |
A decimal has 25 digits. the number of bits needed for its equivalent binary representation is approximately
50 | |
74 | |
40 | |
None of the above |
Question 1 Explanation:
Consider three digits(1,2,3) of decimal numbers.Maximum number, we can generate by that three digits are 10 3 -1 which is 999.
Then, Decimal number has 25 digits, so maximum number is 10 25 -1
Similarly, in the binary representation with “n” bits the maximum number is 2 25 -1
So we can write 10 25 –1 = 2 n – 1 → 10 25 = 2 n
After taking log 2 on both sides
log 2 2 n =log 2 10 25
n log 2 2=25 log 2 10
n = 25 log 2 10
n = 25 x 3.3 [ log 2 2=1 & log 2 10 =3.322]
n = 82.5
Note: Original question paper given option D is 60. But actual answer is 82.5.

Question 3 Explanation:
3 address instruction:
Two operand locations and a result location are explicitly contained in the instruction word.
e.g., Y = A − B
2 address instruction:
One of the addresses is used to specify both an operand and the result location.
e.g., Y = Y + X

Two addresses are implied in the instruction and accumulator based operations.
e.g., A CC = A CC + X
0 address instructions:
They are applicable to a special memory organization called a stack. It interact with a stack using push and pop operations. All addresses are implied as in register based operations.

Question 5 |
The number of the edges in a regular graph of degree 'd' and 'n' vertices is____
Maximum of n,d | |
n+d | |
nd | |
nd/2 |
Question 5 Explanation:
Sum of degree of vertices = 2*no. of edges
d*n = 2*|E|
∴ |E| = (d*n)/2
d*n = 2*|E|
∴ |E| = (d*n)/2

● Synthesized attributes represent information that is being passed up the parse tree.
● LR-attributed grammars allow the attributes to be evaluated on LR parsing. As a result, attribute evaluation in LR-attributed grammars can be incorporated conveniently in bottom-up parsing.

Question 9 |
The logic of pumping lemma us a good example of
The pigeonhole principle | |
The divide and conquer technique | |
recursion | |
Iteration |
Question 9 Explanation:
→ The pigeonhole principle is nothing more than the obvious remark: if you have fewer pigeon holes than pigeons and you put every pigeon in a pigeon hole, then there must result at least one pigeon hole with more than one pigeon. It is surprising how useful this can be as a proof strategy.
→ In the theory of formal languages in computability theory, a pumping lemma or pumping argument states that, for a particular language to be a member of a language class, any sufficiently long string in the language contains a section, or sections, that can be removed, or repeated any number of times, with the resulting string remaining in that language. The proofs of these lemmas typically require counting arguments such as the pigeonhole principle.

Question 1 |
The difference between the compound interest and the simple earned at the end of 3 rd year on a sum of money at a rate of 10% per annul is Rs. 77.5. What is the sum?
Rs. 3,500 | |
Rs. 2,500 | |
Rs. 3,000 | |
Rs. 2,000 |
Question 1 Explanation:
Let principal be ‘x’
S.I = P T R / 100
S.I = X * 3 * 10 / 100
C.I = [ P (1 + (R / 100)T) - P]
C.I = [ X (1+ (10 / 100)3) - X]
C.I = 331X / 1000
Difference between Compound interest and Simple interest is 77.5
( 331X / 1000 ) - ( 3X / 10) = 77.5
31x / 1000 = 77.5
x = 2500.
S.I = P T R / 100
S.I = X * 3 * 10 / 100
C.I = [ P (1 + (R / 100)T) - P]
C.I = [ X (1+ (10 / 100)3) - X]
C.I = 331X / 1000
Difference between Compound interest and Simple interest is 77.5
( 331X / 1000 ) - ( 3X / 10) = 77.5
31x / 1000 = 77.5
x = 2500.
Question 2 |
Aamir and Birju can cut 5000g of wood in 20 min. Birju and Charles can cut 5000g of wood in 40 min. Charles and Aamir cut 5 kg of wood in 30 min. How much time Charles will take to cut 5 kg wood alone?
120 min | |
48 min | |
240 min | |
120 min |
Question 2 Explanation:
Here in this question 5000g means 5kg only
So from that question Aamir (A) Birju (B) Charles (C)
Let Aamir, Birju and Charles alone can complete the work in A, B and C minutes respectively, then
1 min. work of (A+B)=1/20, (B+C)=1/40 and (C+A)=1/30
A + B + C = 13/240
1 min. work of C = (A+B+C) - (A+B) = 13/240 - 1/20 = 1/240
So C alone can complete the work in 240 min.
So from that question Aamir (A) Birju (B) Charles (C)
Let Aamir, Birju and Charles alone can complete the work in A, B and C minutes respectively, then
1 min. work of (A+B)=1/20, (B+C)=1/40 and (C+A)=1/30
A + B + C = 13/240
1 min. work of C = (A+B+C) - (A+B) = 13/240 - 1/20 = 1/240
So C alone can complete the work in 240 min.
Question 3 |
An alloy contains copper and zinc in the ratio 5 : 3 and another contains copper and tin in the ratio 8 : 5, If equal weights of the two are melted together to form a 3 rd alloy, find the weight of tin per kg in the new alloy.
40/129 | |
5/13 | |
5/26 | |
28/5 |
Question 3 Explanation:
Amount of copper in first alloy is 5x/8 and zinc is 3x/8.
Amount of copper in second alloy is 8x/13 and tin is 5x/13.
So after mixing tin is available in 2 alloy only that means in 3rd alloy 5x/13/2x
Tin present in 3rd alloy is 5/26.
Amount of copper in second alloy is 8x/13 and tin is 5x/13.
So after mixing tin is available in 2 alloy only that means in 3rd alloy 5x/13/2x
Tin present in 3rd alloy is 5/26.

Question 12 |
If the consonants in the word ‘DROVE’ are first arranged alphabetically and the vowels are put in between two pairs of consonants in the alphabetical order, which of the following will be the fourth from the right end after the rearrangement?
D | |
E | |
R | |
O |
Question 12 Explanation:
In the word DROVE we have two vowels
Those are O and E
After consonants are arranged in alphabetically we got the word like DRV
But we have two place vowels in between two pairs of consonants we got finally DEROV
So right from fourth letter is E
Those are O and E
After consonants are arranged in alphabetically we got the word like DRV
But we have two place vowels in between two pairs of consonants we got finally DEROV
So right from fourth letter is E
