Question 1 |
What will be the output of following?
main()
{
static int a=3;
printf("%d",a--);
if(a)
main();
}
main()
{
static int a=3;
printf("%d",a--);
if(a)
main();
}
3 | |
3 2 1 | |
3 3 3 | |
Program will fall in continuous loop and print 3 |
Question 1 Explanation:
The variable is static variable, the value is retained during multiple function calls. Initial value is 3
“A--” is post decrement so it will print “3”
if(2) condition is true and main() function will call again , Here the “a” value is 2.
“A--” is post decrement so it will print “2”
if(1) condition is true and main() function will call again Here the “a” value is 1.
“A--” is post decrement so it will print “1”
if(0) condition is false it won’t call main() function
“A--” is post decrement so it will print “3”
if(2) condition is true and main() function will call again , Here the “a” value is 2.
“A--” is post decrement so it will print “2”
if(1) condition is true and main() function will call again Here the “a” value is 1.
“A--” is post decrement so it will print “1”
if(0) condition is false it won’t call main() function
Question 2 |
The height of a binary tree is the maximum number of edges in any root to leaf path. The maximum number of nodes in a binary tree of height h is
2 h | |
2 h-1 -1 | |
2 h+1 -1 | |
2 h+1 |
Question 2 Explanation:
● The number of nodes n in a full binary tree, is at least n = 2 h + 1 and at most n = 2 h+1 − 1 , where h is the height of the tree. A tree consisting of only a root node has a height of 0.
● The number of leaf nodes l in a perfect binary tree, is l = ( n + 1 )/2 because the number of non-leaf (a.k.a. internal) nodes
● This means that a perfect binary tree with l leaves has n = 2 l − 1 nodes. ● In a balanced full binary tree, h = ⎡ log 2 (l)⎤ + 1 = ⎡ log 2 ((n + 1 )/2)⎤ + 1 = ⎡ log 2 (n + 1 )⎤
● In a perfect full binary tree, l = 2 h thus n = 2 h+1 − 1
● The maximum possible number of null links (i.e., absent children of the nodes) in a complete binary tree of n nodes is ( n + 1 ) , where only 1 node exists in bottom-most level to the far left.
●The number of internal nodes in a complete binary tree of n nodes is ⎣ n/2⎦ .

Question 4 |
If the objects focus on the problem domain, then we are concerned with
Object Oriented Analysis | |
Object Oriented Design | |
Object Oriented Analysis and design | |
None of the above |
Question 4 Explanation:
→ The purpose of any analysis activity in the software life cycle is to create a model of the system's functional requirements that is independent of implementation constraints.
→ The main difference between object-oriented analysis and other forms of analysis is that by the object-oriented approach we organize requirements around objects, which integrate both behaviors (processes) and states (data) modeled after real world objects that the system interacts with. In other or traditional analysis methodologies, the two aspects: processes and data are considered separately.
→ For example, data may be modeled by ER diagrams, and behaviors by flow charts or structure charts.

Question 5 |
Which of the following is not a form of main memory?
Instruction cache | |
Instruction register | |
Instruction Opcode | |
Translation lookaside buffer |
Question 5 Explanation:
In computing, an opcode (abbreviated from operation code, also known as instruction syllable, instruction parcel or opstring) is the portion of a machine language instruction that specifies the
operation to be performed. Beside the opcode itself, most instructions also specify the data they will process, in the form of operands. In addition to opcodes used in the instruction set
architectures of various CPUs, which are hardware devices, they can also be used in abstract computing machines as part of their byte code specifications.
Note: Instruction opcode not in a form of main memory.

Question 6 |
which of the following is useful in traversing a given graph by breadth first search?
Stack | |
Set | |
List | |
Queue |
Question 6 Explanation:
Queue can be generally thought as horizontal in structure i.e, breadth/width can be attributed to it - BFS, whereas Stack is visualized as a vertical structure and hence has depth - DFS.
Question 7 |
M is a square matrix of order 'n' and its determinant value is 5, If all the elements of M are multiplied by 2, its determinant value becomes 40. he value of 'n' is
2 | |
3 | |
5 | |
4 |
Question 7 Explanation:
M has n rows. If all the elements of a row are multiplied by , the determinant value becomes 2*5. Multiplying all the n rows by 2, will make the determinant value 2 n *5=40. Solving n= 3.
Question 8 |
Is null an object?
yes | |
No | |
Sometimes yes | |
None of these |
Question 8 Explanation:
If null were an Object, it would support the methods of java.lang.Object such as equals().
However, this is not the case - any method invocation on a null results in a NullPointerException.
There is also a special null type, the type of the expression null, which has no name. Because the null type has no name, it is impossible to declare a variable of the null type or to cast to the null type. The null reference is the only possible value of an expression of null type. The null reference can always be cast to any reference type. In practice, the programmer can ignore the null type and just pretend that null is merely a special literal that can be of any reference type

Question 10 |
Which of the following is a desirable property of module?
Independency | |
low cohesiveness | |
High coupling | |
Multifunctional |
Question 10 Explanation:
The goal of software engineering is high cohesion and low coupling. The desirable property of module is independency.
Question 11 |
Which of these events will be generated if we close an applet's window?
ActionEvent | |
ComponentEvent | |
AdjustmentEvent | |
WindowEvent |
Question 11 Explanation:
A low level event that indicates that a window has changed its status. This low-level event is generated by a Window object when it is opened, closed, activated, deactivated, iconified, or deiconified, or when focus is transferred into or out of the Window.
Question 12 |
If queue is implemented using arrays, what would be the worst run time complexity of queue and dequeue operations?
O(n), O(n) | |
O(n), O(1) | |
O(1), O(n) | |
O(1), O(1) |
Question 12 Explanation:
Everyone thought that answer in worst case time is O(n) for both the cases but using circular queue, we can implement in constant amount of time.
Question 13 |
The following program fragment prints
int i=5;
do
{
putchar(i+100);
printf("%d",i--);
}
while(i);
int i=5;
do
{
putchar(i+100);
printf("%d",i--);
}
while(i);
i5h4g3f2el | |
14h3g2f1e0 | |
An error message | |
None of the above |
Question 13 Explanation:
Here, i=5 and putchar(i+100) it means actually putchar(5+100) ⇒ putchar(105);
It will print the ASCII equivalent of 105 which is lower case ' i '. The printf statement prints the current value of i. i.e. 5 and then decrements it. So, h4 will be printed in the next pass. This continues until ' i ' becomes 0, at which point the loop gets terminated.

n2 | |
nn | |
n3 | |
N |
Question 14 Explanation:
Apply master theorem.
a=8,b=2,k=0,p=0;
So, according to masters theorem, a>b k
=O(n^log 2 8 )
=O(n 3 )
a=8,b=2,k=0,p=0;
So, according to masters theorem, a>b k
=O(n^log 2 8 )
=O(n 3 )
Question 15 |

minimum value of 'm' that ensures that deadlock will never occur is
11 | |
12 | |
13 | |
14 |
Question 15 Explanation:
A requires 3, B-4, C-6;
→ If A have 2, B have 3, C have 5 then deadlock will occur i.e., 2+3+5=10.
→ If we have one extra resource then deadlock will not occur i.e., 10+1=11.
→ If we have equal (or) more than 11 resources then deadlock will never occur.
→ If A have 2, B have 3, C have 5 then deadlock will occur i.e., 2+3+5=10.
→ If we have one extra resource then deadlock will not occur i.e., 10+1=11.
→ If we have equal (or) more than 11 resources then deadlock will never occur.

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.
