Question 1
For the 8 - bit word 00111001, the check bits stored with it would be 0111. Suppose when the wo​rd is read from memory, the check bits are calculated to be 1101. What is the data word that was read from memory?
A
10011001
B
00011001
C
00111000
D
11000110
Question 1 Explanation: 
Here, the check bits stored along with data are 0111 and the check bits calculated at receiver side are 1101. Both check bits are not same is the indication of error bit in data whose position can be calculated by performing the EX-OR operation.

So data bits are:
00011001

Question 4 Explanation: 
Question 5
The CPU of a system having 1 MIPS execution rate needs 4 machine cycles on an average for executing an instruction. The fifty percent of the cycles use memory bus. A memory read/ write employs one machine cycle. For execution of the programs, the system utilizes 90 percent of the CPU time. For block data transfer, an IO device is attached to the system while CPU executes the background programs continuously. What is the maximum IO data transfer rate if programmed IO data transfer technique is used?
A
500 Kbytes/sec
B
2.2 Mbytes/sec
C
125 Kbytes/sec
D
250 Kbytes/sec
Question 5 Explanation: 
Given, CPU speed 10 6 instruction/sec
1 CPU instruction = 4 machine cycles
CPU utilization = 90%
Programmed IO: each byte transfer requires 4 cycles (instructions), in status, check status branch, R/W data in memory maximum data transfer rate,
Question 6
The number of flip-flops required to design a modulo - 272 counter is:
A
8
B
9
C
27
D
11
Question 6 Explanation: 
If we have “n” flip-flops then total number of combinations possible is 2​ n​ .
So total number of states possible is 2​ n​ i.e. MOD 2​ n​ .
Here 2​ n​ = 272
So n = log​ 2​ 272
n = 9
Question 7
Let E​ 1​ and E​ 2​ be two entities in E-R diagram with simple single valued attributes. R1 and R​ 2​ are two relationships between E​ 1​ and E​ 2​ where R​ 1​ is one - many and R​ 2​ is many - many. R​ 1​ and R​ 2​ do not have any attributes of their own. How many minimum number of tables are required to represent this situation in the Relational Model?
A
4
B
3
C
2
D
1
Question 7 Explanation: 
Question 8
The STUDENT information in a university stored in the relation STUDENT (Name, SEX, Marks, DEPT_Name) Consider the following SQL Query SELECT DEPT_Name from STUDENT where SEX = 'M' group by DEPT_Name having avg (Marks)>SELECT avg (Marks) from STUDENT. It Returns the Name of the Department for which:
A
The Average marks of Male students is more than the average marks of students in the same Department
B
The average marks of male students is more than the average marks of students in the University
C
The average marks of male students is more than the average marks of male students in the University
D
The average marks of students is more than the average marks of male students in the University
Question 8 Explanation: 
The query is co-related( same table is used in outer and inner query) so compare each entry of Student table 1 with each entry of Student table 2.

⇒ Consider this table for outer query i.e., LHS query of “>” symbol and here find avg. marks of a department because of group by constraint
i.e., avg. marks for CSE = 87.5
avg. marks for IT = 90


⇒ Consider this table for inner query i.e., RHS query of “>” symbol and here find avg. of total marks
i.e., avg. marks = 88.7
⇓ O/P of given query is
Question 9
Select the 'False' statement from the following statements about Normal Forms:
A
Lossless preserving decomposition into 3NF is always possible
B
Lossless preserving decomposition into BCNF is always possible
C
Any Relation with two attributes is in BCNF
D
BCNF is stronger than 3NF
Question 9 Explanation: 
Option(A) is true because 3NF preserves lossless decomposition and functional dependency.
Option(B) is false because BCNF ensures lossless decomposition but do not preserves functional dependency.
Option(C) is true because Any Relation with two attributes is in BCNF
Option(D) is true because BCNF ensure less number of duplicate values in a relation than 3NF.
Question 10
The Relation Vendor Order (V_no, V_ord_no, V_name, Qty_sup, unit_price) is in 2NF because:
A
Non_key attribute V_name is dependent on V_no which is part of composite key
B
Non_key attribute V_name is dependent on Qty_sup
C
Key attribute Qty_sup is dependent on primary_key unit price
D
Key attribute V_ord_no is dependent on primary_key unit price
E
None of the above
Question 10 Explanation: 
A relation is in 2NF if there is no partial dependency in a relation. A relation will be in 2NF if the LHS of a functional dependency is either a primary key or a non- key attribute or if all the attributes of a relation are prime attributes.
Option(A) is not correct because Non_key attribute V_name is dependent on V_no which is part of composite key i.e there is a partial dependency exists because of V_no.
Option(B) is also not correct because there are chances of having a partial dependency because Qty_sup could be a prime attribute.
Option(C) and Option(D) are correct because in both the options Key attributes depend upon primary key.
Question 11
The relation schemas R​ 1​ and R​ 2​ form a Lossless join decomposition of R if and only if:
R​ 1​ ∩ R​ 2​ ↠ (R​ 1​ - R​ 2​ )
R​ 1​ → R​ 2
R​ 1​ ∩ R​ 2​ ↠ (R​ 2​ - R​ 1​ )
(R​ 2​ → R​ 1​ ) ∩ R​ 2
A
(a) and (b) happens
B
(a) and (d) happens
C
(a) and (c) happens
D
(b) and (c) happens
Question 11 Explanation: 
The decomposition of a relation is said to be lossless if and only if there exists a common attribute which is a primary key in any of the two decomposed relations. In this case statement (a) and statement (c) are satisfying this criteria. Hence option (C) is correct.

Question 15
The process of dividing an analog signal into a string of discrete outputs, each of constant amplitudes, is called:
A
Strobing
B
Amplification
C
Conditioning
D
Quantization
Question 15 Explanation: 
In analog to digital signal conversion following steps are performed: 1. Sampling: The analog signal is sampled every Ts seconds, where Ts is the sample interval or period. The result is a sequence of samples that retains the shape of the analog signal.
2. Quantization: The sampled signal is quantized. The result of sampling is a series of pulses with amplitude values between the maximum and minimum amplitudes of the signal. The set of amplitudes can be infinite with non-integral values between the two limits.
So quantization is the process of mapping a large set of input values to a smaller(countable) set.
3. Encoding: After each sample is quantized and the number of bits per sample is decided. The quantized values are encoded as streams of bits.

Question 16 Explanation: 
Graphics Kernel System (GKS): ​ GKS provides a set of drawing features for two-dimensional vector graphics suitable for charting and similar duties. The calls are designed to be portable across different programming languages, graphics devices and hardware, so that applications written to use GKS will be readily portable to many platforms and devices.
The five main primitives in GKs are :
● Polyline: ​ which draws a sequence of connected line segments.
● Fill Area: which displays a specified area.
● Cell array: which displays an image composed of a variety of colours or grey scales.
● Polymarker: which marks a sequence of points with the same symbol.
