Question 14 |
int tob (int b, int* arr) {
int i;
for (i=0; b>0; i++) {
if (b%2) arr [i] = 1;
else arr [i] = 0;
b = b/2;
}

ex = a;
len = tob (b,arr);
for (i=0; i
tot = tot * ex;
ex = ex * ex;
}
return (tot);
}
The value returned by pp(3,4) is ________.
A | 81 |
a=3,b=4
tot=1
ex=a=3
len=tob(b,arr) which is 3
[
tob(4,arr)==>
b=4
b%2 =4%2=0 Condition is false then arr[0]=0
=> b=b/2 =4/2 =2
b=2
b%2 =2%2=0 condition is false then arr[1]=0
=>b=b/2=2/2=1
b=1
then b%2=1%2 condition is true then arr[2]=1
=>b=b/2=1/2=0
The i value is 3 [length is 3]
]
i=0,
arr[0] ==1 condition is false
ex=3*3=9
i=1
arr[1]==1 condition is false
then
ex=9*9=81
i=2
then arr[2]==1 condition is true
tot=tot*ex=1*81=81
ex=81*81
Finally it returns tot value which 81.
Question 15 |
Given the following Pascal-like program segment
Procedure A;
x,y: integer;
Procedure B;
x,z: real
S1
end B;
Procedure C;
i: integer;
S2
end C;
end A;
The variables accessible in S1 and S2 are
A | x or A, y, x of B and z in S1 and x of B, y and i in S2 |
B | x or B, y and z in S1 and x of B, i and z in S2 |
C | x or B, z and y in S1 and x of A, i and y in S2 |

Question 16 |
#include <stdio.h>
int counter = 0;
int calc (int a, int b) {
int c;
counter++;
if (b==3) return (a*a*a) ;
else {
c = calc (a, b/3) ;
return (c*c*c) ;
}
}
int main () {
calc (4, 81);
printf ("%d", counter) ;
}
The output of this program is ______.
A | 4 |
B | 5 |
C | 6 |
D | 7 |

Question 17 |
Consider the following C program.
#include <stdio.h>
struct Outnode {
char x, y, z ;
};
int main () {
struct Outnode p = {'1', '0', 'a'+2} ;
struct Outnode *q = &p ;
printf ("%c, %c", *((char*)q+1), *((char*)q+2)) ;
return 0 ;
}
The output of this program is
A | 0, c |
B | 0, a+2 |
C | ‘0’, ‘a+2’ |
D | ‘0’, ‘c’ |
The x variable here stores a character ‘c’ in it.
Because +2 will increment ascii value of a from 92 to 95.
Hence the structure p contains 3 character values and they are ‘1’, ‘0’, and ‘c’.
q is a pointer pointing to structure p.
Hence q is pointing to ‘1’, q+1 pointing to ‘0’ and q+2 pointing to ‘c’.
Option d cannot be correct, as though they are characters, printf will not print them in single quotes.
Question 18 |
Consider the following C program:
#include<stdio.h>
void fun1(char *s1, char *s2) {
char *tmp;
tmp = s1;
s1 = s2;
s2 = tmp;
}
void fun2(char **s2, char **s2) {
char *tmp;
tmp = *s1;
*s1 = *s2;
*s2 = tmp;
}
int main () {
char *str1 = "Hi", *str2 = "Bye";
fun1(str1, str2); printf("%s %s", str1, str2);
fun2(&str1, &str2); printf("%s %s", str1, str2);
return 0;
}
The output of the program above is
A | Hi Bye Bye Hi |
B | Hi Bye Hi Bye |
C | Bye Hi Hi Bye |
D | Bye Hi Bye Hi |
Hence, any change in the formal parameters are NOT reflected in actual parameters.
Hence, str1 points at “hi” and str2 points at “bye”.
The second call to the function ‘func2(&str1, &str2);’ is call by reference.
Hence, any change in formal parameters are reflected in actual parameters.
Hence, str1 now points at “bye” and str2 points at “hi”.
Hence answer is “hi bye bye hi”.
Question 19 |
Consider the following C code. Assume that unsigned long int type length is 64 bits.
unsigned long int fun(unsigned long int n) {
unsigned long int i, j, j=0, sum = 0;
for (i = n; i > 1; i = i/2) j++;
for ( ; j > 1; j = j/2) sum++;
return sum;
}
The value returned when we call fun with the input 240 is
A | 4 |
B | 5 |
C | 6 |
D | 40 |
Next for loop will divide j value (which is 40) by 2, each time until j>1.
j loop starts:
j=40 & sum=1
j=20 & sum=2
j=10 & sum=3
j=5 & sum=4
j=2 & sum=5
j=1 & break
So, sum = 5.
Question 20 |
Consider the following program written in pseudo-code. Assume that x and y are integers.
Count (x, y) {
if (y != 1) {
if (x != 1) {
print("*") ;
Count (x/2, y) ;
}
else {
y = y - 1 ;
Count (1024, y) ;
}
}
}
The number of times that the print statement is executed by the call Count(1024, 1024) is ______.
A | 10230 |
B | 10231 |
C | 10232 |
D | 10233 |
int count=0;
Count(x,y){
if(y!=1){
if(x!=1){
printf("*");
count = count +1;
Count(x/2,y);
}
else{
y=y-1;
Count(1024,y);
}
}
}
void main()
{
Count(1024,1024);
printf("\n%d\n",count);
}

Count ( ) is called recursively for every (y = 1023) & for every y, Count ( ) is called (x = 10) times = 1023 × 10 = 10230

B | 90 |
C | 91 |
D | 92 |
fun(95) = fun(fun(106))
= fun(96)
= fun(fun(107))
= fun(97)
= fun(fun(108))
= fun(98)
= fun(fun(109))
= fun(99)
= fun(110)
= fun(100)
= fun(fun(111))
= fun(101)
= 91

function f (var x:integer):integer;
begin
x:x+1;f:=x;
end;
begin
x:=5;
result:=f(x)*f(x);
writeln(result);
end; A | 5 |
B | 25 |
C | 36 |
D | 42 |
If it is call by value then answer is 36.

B | X – 2 Y – 1 Z – 3 |
C | X – 3 Y – 2 Z – 1 |
D | X – 3 Y – 1 Z – 2 |
Y → n is pointer to invalid memory, a making it as a dangling pointer.
Z → p is not initialized.
p = malloc (size of(char))p = malloc (size of(char)); should have been used before assigning 'aa' to ∗p.

Program P1()
{
x = 10;
y = 3;

z = x+y+z;
} A | 10, 3 |
B | 31, 3 |
C | 27, 7 |

Question 39 |
The following program fragment is written in a programming language that allows variables and does not allow nested declarations of functions.
global int i = 100, j = 5;
void P(x)
{
int i = 10;
print(x + 10);
i = 200;
j = 20;
print(x);
}
main()
{
P(i + j);
}
If the programming language uses static scoping and call by need parameter passing mechanism, the values printed by the above program are
A | 115, 220 |
B | 25, 220 |
C | 25, 15 |
D | 115, 105 |
P(100+5) = P(105)
→void P(105)
{
int i=10;
print (x+10); ⇒ 105+10=115 prints
i=200;
j = 20;
print (x); ⇒ x=105 prints
}
115, 105 prints
Question 40 |
The following program fragment is written in a programming language that allows variables and does not allow nested declarations of functions.
global int i = 100, j = 5;
void P(x)
{
int i = 10;
print(x + 10);
i = 200;
j = 20;
print(x);
}
main()
{
P(i + j);
}
If the programming language uses dynamic scoping and call by name parameter passing mechanism, the values printed by the above program are:
A | 115, 220 |
B | 25, 220 |
C | 25, 15 |
D | 115, 105 |
In void P(x)
{ int i = 10;
print(x + 10); ⇒ 105+10 = 115 prints

print (x); ⇒ print x=220;
Question 41 |
Consider the following class definitions in a hypothetical Object Oriented language that supports inheritance and uses dynamic binding. The language should not be assumed to be either Java or C++, though the syntax is similar.
Class P {
void f(int i) {
print(i);
}
}
Class Q subclass of P {
void f(int i) {
print(2*i);
}
}
Now consider the following program fragment:
Px = new Q(); Qy = new Q(); Pz = new Q(); x.f(1); ((P)y).f(1); z.f(1);
Here ((P)y) denotes a typecast of y to P. The output produced by executing the above program fragment will be
A | 1 2 1 |
B | 2 1 1 |
C | 2 1 2 |
D | 2 2 2 |
Note: The given question is not in the present syllabus
Question 42 |
In the following C program fragment, j, k n and TwoLog_n are interger variables, and A is an array of integers. The variable n is initialized to an integer ≥3, and TwoLog_n is initialized to the value of 2*⌈log2(n)⌉
for (k = 3; k < = n; k++)
A[k] = 0;
for (k = 2; k < = TwoLog_n; k++)
for (j = k + 1; j < = n; j++)
A[j] = A[j] || (j%k);
for (j = 3; j < = n; j++)
if (!A[j]) printf("%d", j);
The set of numbers printed by this program fragment is
A | {m|m ≤ n, (∃i)[m=i!]} |
B | {m|m ≤ n, (∃i)[m=i2]} |
C | {m|m ≤ n, m is prime}
|
D | { } |
Now Trace the code,
for (k=3; k<=n; k++)
A[k]=0; // A[3]=0
A[4]=0
for (k=2; k<=Two log_n; k++)
for(j=k+1; j<=n; j++)
A[j] = A[j] // (j%k); // A[3] = 0 // I=1
A[4] = 0 // I=1
for (j=3; j<=n; j++)
if (!A[j]) printf("%d", j);
// if (!1) means if (0), so printf will never execute
Hence, Option (D) is the answer.
Question 43 |
Consider the C program shown below.
#include#define print(x) printf("%d", x) int x; void Q(int z) { z += x; print(z); } void P(int *y) { int x = *y + 2; Q(x); *y = x - 1; print(x); } main(void) { x = 5; P(&x); print(x); }
The output of this program is
A | 12 7 6
|
B | 22 12 11 |
C | 14 6 6 |
D | 7 6 6 |
p(&x) it goes to P( ) function
y=5
x=5+2=7;
Q(x)
z=7
z=7+5=12(Print+z→I)
comes to P( )
*y=7-1=6
x=7(Print x→II)
comes to main ( ),
print x=*y=6 (print x→III)
Output: 12 7 6
Question 44 |
The goal of structured programming is to:
A | have well indented programs
|
B | be able to infer the flow of control from the compiled code
|
C | be able to infer the flow of control from the program text
|
D | avoid the use of GOTO statements |
Question 45 |
Consider the following C function.
void swap (int a, int b)
{
int temp;
temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;
}
In order to exchange the values of two variables x and y.
A | call swap (x, y)
|
B | call swap (&x, &y)
|
C | swap (x,y) cannot be used as it does not return any value
|
D | swap (x,y) cannot be used as the parameters are passed by value
|
Here parameters passed by value in C then there is no change in the values.
Option B:
Here values are not swap.
Here parameters are passed by address in C.
Option C:
It is false. Return value is not valid for exchanging the variables.
Option D:
It is correct.
We cannot use swap(x,y) because parameters are passed by value.
Only exchanging the values (or) variables are passing their address and then modify the content with the help of dereferencing operator(*).
Question 46 |
Consider the following C function:
int f(int n)
{
static int i = 1;
if (n >= 5)
return n;
n = n+i;
i++;
return f(n);
}
The value returned by f(1) is
A | 5 |
B | 6 |
C | 7
|
D | 8 |

The value return by f(1) = 7
Question 47 |
Consider the following program fragment for reversing the digits in a given integer to obtain a new integer. Let n = d1d2…dm.
int n, rev;
rev = 0;
while (n > 0)
{
rev = rev*10 + n%10;
n = n/10;
}
The loop invariant condition at the end of the ith iteration is:
A | n = d1d2…dm-i and rev = dmdm-1…dm-i+1
|
B | n = dm-i+1…dm-1dm or rev = dm-i…d2d1
|
C | n ≠ rev |
D | n = d1d2…dm and rev = dm…d2d1 |
Question 48 |
Consider the following C program segment:
char p[20];
char *s = "string";
int length = strlen(s);
int i;
for (i = 0; i < length; i++)
p[i] = s[length — i];
printf("%s",p);
The output of the program is
A | gnirts |
B | string
|
C | gnirt |
D | no output is printed |
P[0] = S[7-1] = S[6] = \0.
In P[ ], the first character is '\0'. Then it will results a empty string. If P[0] become '\0', then it doesn't consider about next values in sequence.
Question 49 |
It is desired to design an object-oriented employee record system for a company. Each employee has a name, unique id and salary. Employees belong to different categories and their salary is determined by their category. The functions to get Name, getld and compute salary are required. Given the class hierarchy below, possible locations for these functions are:
- (i) getld is implemented in the superclass
(ii) getld is implemented in the subclass
(iii) getName is an abstract function in the superclass
(iv) getName is implemented in the superclass
(v) getName is implemented in the subclass
(vi) getSalary is an abstract function in the superclass
(vii) getSalary is implemented in the superclass
(viii) getSalary is implemented in the subclass
Choose the best design
A | (i), (iv), (vi), (viii) |
B | (i), (iv), (vii) |
C | (i), (iii), (v), (vi), (viii) |
D | (ii), (v), (viii) |
Question 50 |
Consider the following C program
main()
{ int x, y, m, n;
scanf ("%d %d", &x, &y);
/* Assume x > 0 and y > 0 */
m = x; n = y;
while (m! = n)
{ if (m > n)
m = m - n;
else
n = n - m;
}
print f ("% d", n);
}
The program computes
A | x + y using repeated subtraction |
B | x mod y using repeated subtraction |
C | the greatest common divisor of x and y |
D | the least common multiple of x and y |
