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 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 17 Explanation:
→ Imagine that we want to design a code with m message bits and r check bits that will allow all single errors to be corrected.
→ Each of the 2 m legal messages has n illegal codewords at a distance of 11 from it.
→ These are formed by systematically inverting each of the n bits in the n-bit codeword formed from it. Thus, each of the 2 m legal messages requires n+1 bit patterns dedicated to it.

= (m+r+1) ≤ 2 r
= 40+6+1 ≤ 26
= 47 ≤ 2

Cubic | |
Quadratic | |
Linear | |
none |
Question 33 Explanation:
The convergence of the bisection method is very slow. Although the error, in general, does not decrease monotonically, the average rate of convergence is 1/2 and so, slightly changing the definition of order of convergence, it is possible to say that the method converges linearly with rate 1/2.
Note:For the bisection you simply have that ε i+1 /ε i =1/2, so, by definition the order of convergence is 1 (linearly).

Wait-die | |
Wait-wound | |
Wound-Wait | |
Wait |
Question 34 Explanation:
Wait-die scheme :
It is a non-preemptive technique for deadlock prevention. When transaction T i requests a data item currently held by T j , T i is allowed to wait only if it has a timestamp smaller than that of T j (That is T i is older than T j ), otherwise T i is rolled back (dies).
→ In this scheme, if a transaction requests to lock a resource (data item), which is already held with a conflicting lock by another transaction, then one of the two possibilities may occur
1. If TS(T i ) < TS(T j ) − that is T i , which is requesting a conflicting lock, is older than T j −then Ti is allowed to wait until the data-item is available.
2. If TS(T i ) > TS(T j ) − that is T i is younger than T j − then T i dies. T i is restarted later with a random delay but with the same timestamp.
→ This scheme allows the older transaction to wait but kills the younger one.
Example:
Suppose that transaction T22, T23, T24 have time-stamps 5, 10 and 15 respectively. If T22 requests a data item held by T23 then T22 will wait. If T24 requests a data item held by T23, then T24 will be rolled back.

100 | |
300 | |
500 | |
None of the above |
Question 40 Explanation:
Given, the signal
V (t) = 3 0 sin 100t + 10 cos 300t + 6 sin (500t + π/4)
So, we have
ω 1 = 100 rads
ω 2 = 300 rads
ω 3 = 500 rads
∴ The respective time periods are
T 1 = 2π/ω1 = 2π/100 sec
T 2 = 2π/ω2 = 2π/300 sec
T 3 = 2π/ω3 = 2π/500 sec
So, the fundamental time period of the signal is
LCM (T 1 , T 2 , T 3 ) =LCM (2π,2π,2π)/HCF (100,300,500)
as T 0 =2π/100
∴ The fundamental frequency, ω0 =2π/T 0 = 100 rad/s
V (t) = 3 0 sin 100t + 10 cos 300t + 6 sin (500t + π/4)
So, we have
ω 1 = 100 rads
ω 2 = 300 rads
ω 3 = 500 rads
∴ The respective time periods are
T 1 = 2π/ω1 = 2π/100 sec
T 2 = 2π/ω2 = 2π/300 sec
T 3 = 2π/ω3 = 2π/500 sec
So, the fundamental time period of the signal is
LCM (T 1 , T 2 , T 3 ) =LCM (2π,2π,2π)/HCF (100,300,500)
as T 0 =2π/100
∴ The fundamental frequency, ω0 =2π/T 0 = 100 rad/s

If the number of bits per sample in a PCM system is increased from a n to n+1, the improvement in signal to quantization noise ratio will be
3dB | |
6db | |
2n dB | |
n dB |
Question 41 Explanation:
(S/N q)dB
= (1.76 + 6 n) dB
(SQNR) 1 = 1 .76 + 6 n
(SQNR) 2 = 1 .76 + 6 n(n + 1 ) = 1 .76 + 6 n + 6
(SQNR) 2 − (SQNR) 1 = 1 .76 + 6 n + 6 − 1 .76 − 6 n = 6 dB
So for every one bit increase in bits per sample will result is 6 dB improvement in signal to quantization ratio.
= (1.76 + 6 n) dB
(SQNR) 1 = 1 .76 + 6 n
(SQNR) 2 = 1 .76 + 6 n(n + 1 ) = 1 .76 + 6 n + 6
(SQNR) 2 − (SQNR) 1 = 1 .76 + 6 n + 6 − 1 .76 − 6 n = 6 dB
So for every one bit increase in bits per sample will result is 6 dB improvement in signal to quantization ratio.

Question 47 Explanation:
An ideal op-amp lead us to an op-amp with input resistance is infinite, so no current flows into either input terminal (the “current rule”) and that the differential input offset voltage is zero (the “voltage rule”).
Ideal operational amplification will have
➝ High input impedance ( R in = ∞ ) and low output impedance ( R out = 0 )

➝ R in = ∞ , so zero input current
➝ Infinite voltage gain
➝ So, it is a voltage controlled voltage source device.

Question 57 Explanation:
This above code is similar to binary search
First iteration:
I=0,j=9
K=(0+9)/2=4
Elements with duplicate values of “2” the condition if(Y[k]
Second iteration :
I=0, j=k=4
K= (0+4)/2=2.
Third iteration:
I=0, j=k=2
K= (0+2)/2=1
Fourth iteration:
I=0, j=k=1
K= (0+1)/2=0
The while condition is Y[k] != x && i < j is true
→ The above program doesn’t work for the cases where element to be searched is the last element of Y[ ] or greater than the last element (or maximum element) in Y[ ].
→ For such cases, program goes in an infinite loop because i is assigned value as k in all iterations, and i never becomes equal to or greater than j.
So, while condition never becomes false.

The page number is 4 from the record numbers 301 -400
The page number is 5 from the record numbers 401 -500
The page number is 6 from the record numbers 501 -600
The page number is 7 from the record numbers 601 -700

Question 59 |
Consider an ε-tree CFG. If for every pair of productions A → u and A → v
if FIRST(u) ∩ FIRST(v) is empty then the CFG has to be LL(1) | |
If the CFG is LL(1) then FIRST(u) ∩ FIRST(v) has to be empty | |
Both (A) and (B) | |
None of the above |
Question 59 Explanation:
The condition for a grammar to be LL(1)
Theorem: A context free grammar G=(V T , V N , S,P) is LL(1) if and if only if for every nonterminal A and every strings of symbols ⍺,β such that ⍺≠β and A → ⍺,β we have
1. First(⍺) ∩ First (β) ∩ Follow(A)=Θ.
2. If ⍺ *⇒ ε then First(β) ∩ Follow(A)= Θ.
If grammar is epsilon free then condition 2 is not required.
Now as per condition 1, for every non-terminal A, if we have A → u and A→v
And First(u) First(v) = φ and CFG is epsilon free then it must be LL(1) and if epsilon free CFG is LL(1) then it must satisfy the condition 1.

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 29 |
Irvin sold a book at a profit of 12%. If Irvin had sold it for Rs. 18 more, then 18% would have been gained. Find the cost price.
Rs. 600 | |
Rs. 300 | |
Rs. 400 | |
Rs. 200 |
Question 29 Explanation:
Explanation: Let CP = 100%
Sold on 12% profit means sold on 112%
now 18% would have been gained means 118% if Rs 18 was more it means 118% - 112% = 18 Rs
so 6%=18Rs
so 100% = (18/6)×100 = 3× 100 = 300 Rs
CP = 300
Sold on 12% profit means sold on 112%
now 18% would have been gained means 118% if Rs 18 was more it means 118% - 112% = 18 Rs
so 6%=18Rs
so 100% = (18/6)×100 = 3× 100 = 300 Rs
CP = 300
Question 30 |
In a group of 7 people, the average age is found to be 17 years. Two more people joined with an average age 19 years. One person left the group whose age was 25 years. What is the new average age of the group?
17.5 Years | |
16.5 Years | |
18 Years | |
16 Years |
Question 30 Explanation:
7 people, the average age is found to be 17 years means 17 * 7 = 119
Two more joined with an average age 19 years means 19 * 2 = 38 So total is 157
But one person left from that group whose age is 25 years 157 - 25 = 132
Remaining average of 8 people is 132 / 8
16.5 Year
Two more joined with an average age 19 years means 19 * 2 = 38 So total is 157
But one person left from that group whose age is 25 years 157 - 25 = 132
Remaining average of 8 people is 132 / 8
16.5 Year
Question 31 |
A 300 meter long metro train crosses a platform in a metro station in 39 seconds while it crosses a lamp post in 18 seconds. What is the length of the platform?
250 meter | |
350 meter | |
520 meter | |
300 meter |
Question 31 Explanation:
Speed = Distance/time = 300/18 = 50/3 m/sec
Let the length of the platform be x meters
Distance = Speed * Time
x+300 = (50/3) * 39
x = 350
Let the length of the platform be x meters
Distance = Speed * Time
x+300 = (50/3) * 39
x = 350
Question 32 |
Assume that a sum of money is divided equally among n girls. Each girl will receive $ 60. If another girl is added to the group and the sum is divided equally among all the girls, each child girl a $ 50 share. What is the sum of money?
$ 3000 | |
$ 300 | |
$ 110 | |
$ 10 |
Question 32 Explanation:
From that question 60 * n = 50 (n + 1)
n = 5
so sum of money is 60 * 5 = 300
n = 5
so sum of money is 60 * 5 = 300
Question 33 |
A tank can be filled by one tap in 10 minutes and by another in 30 minutes. Both the taps are kept open for 5 minutes and then the first one is shut off. In how many minutes more is the tank completely filled?
5 | |
7.5 | |
10 | |
12 |
Question 33 Explanation:
A tank can be filled in 10 mins
another one is in 30 mins and those taps are opened for 5 mins
so in one min one tap is 1/10 another one is 1/30
both can tank open for 5 mins so (1/10 + 1/30 ) * 5
= (2/15) * 5
= 10/15
= 2⁄3
Remaining work is 1- (2⁄3)
= 1⁄3
The left work has to be done by first Tap because first is shut off.
Work will be completed by Second Tap in= (1⁄3) * 30 = 10
another one is in 30 mins and those taps are opened for 5 mins
so in one min one tap is 1/10 another one is 1/30
both can tank open for 5 mins so (1/10 + 1/30 ) * 5
= (2/15) * 5
= 10/15
= 2⁄3
Remaining work is 1- (2⁄3)
= 1⁄3
The left work has to be done by first Tap because first is shut off.
Work will be completed by Second Tap in= (1⁄3) * 30 = 10

Shirin went to a bakery and bought items worth Rs. 25, out of which 30 paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases. If the tax rate was 6%, then what was the cost of the tax free items?
Rs. 12 | |
Rs. 19.70 | |
Rs. 19.10 | |
Rs. 18.80 |
Question 50 Explanation:
Total cost of the items he purchased = Rs.25
Given that out of this Rs.25, 30 Paise is given as tax => Total tax incurred = 30 Paise = Rs.30/100
Let the cost of the tax free items = x
Given that tax rate = 6%
( 25 - 30/100 - x ) * (6/100) = 30 / 100
6(25−0.3−x)=30
x=25−0.3−5=19.7
Given that out of this Rs.25, 30 Paise is given as tax => Total tax incurred = 30 Paise = Rs.30/100
Let the cost of the tax free items = x
Given that tax rate = 6%
( 25 - 30/100 - x ) * (6/100) = 30 / 100
6(25−0.3−x)=30
x=25−0.3−5=19.7

Adrian starts a start-up with a capital of Rs. 85,000. Brian joins in the start-up with Rs. 42,500 after sometime. For how much period does Brian join, if the profits at the end of the year are divided in the ratio of 3 : 1?
5 months | |
6 months | |
7 months | |
8 months |
Question 52 Explanation:
Let B joins for X months.
Then,
(Profit of A)/(Profit of B) = 3/1
(85000 * 12)/(42500 *X) = 3/1
85000 * 12 = 42500 * 3 * X
X = 8.
B Joined for 8 months
Then,
(Profit of A)/(Profit of B) = 3/1
(85000 * 12)/(42500 *X) = 3/1
85000 * 12 = 42500 * 3 * X
X = 8.
B Joined for 8 months

A car travels at an average of 50 miles per hour for 2.5 hours and then travels at a speed of 70 miles per hour for 1.5 hours. How far did the car travel in the entire 4 hours?
210 miles | |
230 miles | |
250 miles | |
260 miles |
Question 53 Explanation:
Speed= 50 miles/ hour Time=2.5 hour
speed=70 miles / hour Time=1.5 hour
Speed= Distance/ time
Distance= speed x Time
=50×2.5+70×1.5
=125+105
=230 miles
speed=70 miles / hour Time=1.5 hour
Speed= Distance/ time
Distance= speed x Time
=50×2.5+70×1.5
=125+105
=230 miles

By selling 45 limes for Rs. 40, a woman loses 20%. How many should she sell for Rs. 24 to gain 20% in the transaction?
16 | |
18 | |
20 | |
22 |
Question 54 Explanation:
SP of 45 limes is Rs.40
loss = 20%
So CP of 45 limes would be 40*100/80= Rs. 50
To gain 20% She should sell these 45 limes for =50*20/100=Rs. 60
Now If she sells for Rs. 60 = 45 limes
So for Rs. 24 he would sell = (24/60)*45 = 18 limes
loss = 20%
So CP of 45 limes would be 40*100/80= Rs. 50
To gain 20% She should sell these 45 limes for =50*20/100=Rs. 60
Now If she sells for Rs. 60 = 45 limes
So for Rs. 24 he would sell = (24/60)*45 = 18 limes
