A
An unambiguous grammar has the same leftmost and rightmost derivation
B
An LL(1) parser is a top-down parser
C
LALR is more powerful than SLR
D
An unambiguous grammar can never be LR(k) for any k
       Compiler-Design       Parsers
Question 6 Explanation: 
1 is false because unambiguous grammar need not have the same leftmost and rightmost derivation.
4 is false because the correct statement is an ambiguous grammar can never be LR(K) for any k.
Question 7
With respect to paging, which of the following is false
A
It is based on a linear logical memory addressing concept.
B
Entire program need not be loaded into memory before execution
C
It suffers from both internal and external fragmentations
D
Page table is not required once a program is loaded
       Operating-Systems       Memory-Management
Question 7 Explanation: 
paging does not suffers from external fragmentation because space allocated to a process need not be contiguous. But paging suffers from internal fragmentation because on an average half of the last page of process gets wasted.
Question 8
Relation R with an associated set of functional dependencies F is decomposed into BCNF. The redundancy (arising out of functional dependencies) in the resulting set of relations is
A
Zero
B
More than Zero but less than that of an equivalent 3NF
C
Proportional to the size of F+
D
Indeterminate
       Database-Management-System       Normalization
Question 8 Explanation: 
Redundancy in the resulting set of relations decomposed BCNF is zero.

Question 13
Which sorting method is best suited for external sorting?
A
Quick Sort
B
Heap Sort
C
Merge sort
D
All the above
       Algorithms       Sorting
Question 13 Explanation: 
External sorting is a term for a class of sorting algorithms that can handle massive amounts of data. External sorting is required when the data being sorted do not fit into the main memory of a computing device (usually RAM) and instead they must reside in the slower external memory (usually a hard drive). External sorting typically uses a hybrid sort-merge strategy. In the sorting phase, chunks of data small enough to fit in main memory are read, sorted, and written out to a temporary file. In the merge phase, the sorted sub-files are combined into a single larger file.
