B
The cardinality ratio for a binary relationship specifies the minimum number of relationship instances that an entity can participate in.
C
The partial participation constraint is also called existence dependency.
D

Question 1 Explanation: 
Cardinality: cardinality ratio for a binary relationship specifies the maximum number of relationship instances that an entity can participate in.

Question 2
Which of the following represents the function of a Multiplexer?
A
Y= A+ B
B
Y = A | B
C
Y = A & B
D
Y = S ? A : B
Question 2 Explanation: 
Multiplexer : It also known as a data selector, is a device that selects between several input signals and forwards it to a single output line. A multiplexer of 2n inputs has n select lines, which are used to select which input line to send to the output. Here in fourth option “S” is used as select line to select either “A” or “B”.
A multiplexer can be used to implement if-else statements.
Question 3
The prefix equivalent of the following infix expression is: a / b - c + d * e - a * c
A
- + - / a b c * d e * a c
B
+ - - / a b c * d e * a c
C
- + / a b c - * d e * a c
D
- - + / a b c * d e * a c
Question 3 Explanation: 
a / b - c + d * e - a * c
* Start scanning the expression from RHS. * Push the operators on the top of the stack by ensuring that only high priority operator can be pushed over a low priority operator.
* If a low priority operator is encountered in expression while scanning it, and if top of stack have high priority operator then pop it and after that push low priority operator on top of stack.
* Print each operand just after scanning it.





Question 4

A
“w”
B
“w+”
C
“a+”
D
“r+”
Question 4 Explanation: 
W+ : Create a text file for both reading and writing. If the given file exists, its contents are cleared unless it is a logical file.
A+ : Open a text file in append mode for reading or updating at the end of the file. The fopen() function creates the file if it does not exist.
W : Create a text file for writing. If the given file exists, its contents are destroyed unless it is a logical file.
A : Open a text file in append mode for writing at the end of the file. The fopen() function creates the file if it does not exist and is not a logical file.
R+ : Open a text file for both reading and writing. The file must exist.
Question 5

Question 5 Explanation: 
TRUE: IPSec support is an integral part of IPv6.
TRUE: IPv6 has no way to distinguish delay-sensitive packets from bulk data transfers.
FALSE: In comparison to IPA. IPv6 has improved header structure with less processing overhead.
An independent physician association (IPA) is a business entity organized and owned by a network of independent physician practices for the purpose of reducing overhead or pursuing business ventures such as contracts with employers, accountable care organizations (ACO) and/or managed care organizations (MCOs). There are substantial opportunities for innovation in delivery system modeling and benefit design in the creation of physician networks. Specifically, creation of practice networks involving patient-centered medical home (PCMH) practices may accelerate important and necessary changes in health care delivery.
TRUE: IPv6 routers no longer have to fragment packets.

A
conflict equivalent
B
schema equivalent
C
result equivalent
D
view equivalent
Question 7 Explanation: 
View-serializability of a schedule is defined by equivalence to a serial schedule (no overlapping transactions) with the same transactions, such that respective transactions in the two schedules read and write the same data values ("view" the same data values).
Conflict-serializability is defined by equivalence to a serial schedule (no overlapping transactions) with the same transactions, such that both schedules have the same sets of respective chronologically ordered pairs of conflicting operations (same precedence relations of respective conflicting operations).
Question 8
Which of the following data structures allows both addition and deletion of items from either end?
A
Double Ended Queue
B
Queue
C
Priority Queue
D
Stack
Question 8 Explanation: 
Double Ended Queue: It is abbreviated to deque and it is an abstract data type that generalizes a queue, for which elements can be added to or removed from either the front (head) or back (tail). It is also often called a head-tail linked list
Stack: Stack is an abstract data type that serves as a collection of elements, with two principal operations:
->push, which adds an element to the collection, and
->pop, which removes the most recently added element that was not yet removed.
Both PUSH and POP operations are done from a single end.The order in which elements come off a stack gives rise to its alternative name, LIFO (last in, first out).
Queue: a queue is a collection of entities that are maintained in a sequence and can be modified by the addition of entities at one end of the sequence and removal from the other end of the sequence. It allows addition and deletion of items from fixed different ends.

A
Θ(nk)
B
Θ(kn)
C
Θ(nk)
D
Θ(n+k)
Question 11 Explanation: 
Optimal Substructure: The value of C(n, k) can be recursively calculated using following standard formula for Binomial Coefficients.
C(n, k) = C(n-1, k-1) + C(n-1, k)
C(n, 0) = C(n, n) = 1
Time Complexity: O(nk)
Space complexity: O(nk)
Question 12
Which of the following constraints enforces that the value of the primary key cannot be Null?
A
Key Constraint
B
Foreign key constraint
C
Entity integrity constraint
D
Domain constraint
Question 12 Explanation: 
The entity integrity constraint states that primary key value can't be null. This is because the primary key value is used to identify individual rows in relation and if the primary key has a null value, then we can't identify those rows.
Question 13

Two concurrent processes P and Q execute the following code.
Process P;
while(True){
W:_____
print(’0’);print(’0’);

Y:_____
print(’1’);print(’1’);
Z:______
}
Given S and T are binary semaphore variables, and P() and V() as standard “wait“ and “signal” functions respectively.
What should be the semaphore operations W,X,Y and Z for the output string: 11001100…?
A
W=P(T),X=V(S),Y=P(S),Z=V(T),S=1,T=0
B
W=P(T),X=V(S),Y=P(S),Z=V(T),S=T=1
C
W=P(T),X=V(T),Y=P(S),Z=V(S),S=T=1
D
W=P(T),X=V(T),Y=P(S),Z=V(S),S=1, T=0
Question 13 Explanation: 
Process P will be executed first and then Process Q can be executed next.
At the process P: W=P(T)
X=V(S)
At the process Q: Y=P(S)
Z=V(T)
Here, S=0, T=1 then the process P executes first and then Q, and both can run on process alternate way start with P.
