Question 1 |
# include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i, j, count;
count = 0;
i = 0;
for (j = -3; j <= 3; j++)
{
if ((j >= 0) && (i++))
count = count + j;
}
count = count + i;
printf(“%d”, count);
return 0;
}
Which one of the following options is correct?
A | The program will compile successfully and output 13 when executed. |
B | The program will compile successfully and output 10 when executed. |
C | The program will compile successfully and output 8 when executed. |
D | The program will not compile successfully. |
Input: count=0 , i=0 and j=-3
For(j = -3; j <= 3; j++) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
if((j >= 0) && (i++)) → Condition fails because they are given logical AND.
So, we are not entering the “if” condition and come out of the loop. The count and “i” values remain “0”.
For(j = -2; j <= 3; j++) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
if((j >= 0) && (i++)) → Condition fails because they are given logical AND.
So, we are not entering the “if” condition and come out of the loop. The count and “i” values remain “0”.
For(j = -1; j <= 3; j++) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
if((j >= 0) && (i++)) → Condition fails because they are given logical AND.
So, we are not entering the “if” condition and come out of the loop. The count and “i” values remain “0”.
For(j = 0; j <= 3; j++) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
if((j >= 0) && (i++)) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
count=0+0 → Count=0
For(j = 1; j <= 3; j++) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
if((j >= 0) && (i++)) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
count=0+1 → Count=1
For(j = 2; j <= 3; j++) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
if((j >= 0) && (i++)) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
count=1+2 → Count=3
For(j = 3; j <= 3; j++) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
if((j >= 0) && (i++)) → Condition TRUE then enters into the loop.
count=3+3 → Count=6
For(j = 4; j <= 3; j++) → Condition FALSE we are not entering the loop.
count=6+4 → We are given a condition as a post increment. So, “i” updates the next instruction.
The above code segment executes successfully and will print value=10.
Question 2 |
int SimpleFunction (int Y[], int n, int x)
{
int total = Y[0], loopIndex;
for (loopIndex = 1; loopIndex <= n - 1; loopIndex++)
total = x * total + Y[loopIndex]
return total;
}
Let Z be an array of 10 elements with Z[i]=1, for all i such that 0 ≤ i ≤ 9. The value returned by SimpleFunction(Z, 10, 2) is _______
A | 1023 |
n=10,x=2
Initial total value is 1 => total=1.
For loop will execute 9 times.
loopindex=1, 1<=9 condition is true then
total = x * total + Y[loopIndex]= 2*1+Y[1]=2+1=3
loopindex=2, 2<=9 condition is true then
total=2*3+Y[2]=6+1=7
loopindex=3, 3<=9 condition is true then
total=2*7+Y[3]=14+1 =15
loopindex=4, 4<=9 condition is true then
total= 2*15+Y[4]=30+1=31
loopindex=5, 5<=9 condition is true then
total=2*31+Y[5]=62+1=63
loopindex=6, 6<=9 condition is true then
total=2*63+Y[6]=126+1=127
loopindex=7, 7<=9 condition is true then
Total =2*127+Y[7]=254+1=255
loopindex=8, 8<=9 condition is true then
total=2*255+Y[8]=510+1=511
loopindex=9, 9<=9 condition is true then
total=2*511+Y[9]=1022+1=1023
loopindex=10, 10<=9 condition is false then
Total value is returned which is 1023.
You can also write generalized formulae 210-1=1023

D | None of the above |
1st pass : X=3 and Y=2
2nd pass : X=1 and Y=2
3rd pass : X=1 and Y=1
Write(X), which writes 1. Which is nothing but GCD of 3 & 5.

if (b%2) arr [i] = 1;
else arr [i] = 0;
b = b/2;
}
return (i);
}
int pp (int a, int b) {
int arr [20];
int i, tot = 1, ex, len;
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.

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.
Question 26 |

A | 10 |
B | 11 |
C | 3 |
D | None of the above |
W(n)=W(3)

begin
x = x+1 = 3+1 = 4
Print x → Print x=4
end
Question 30 |
What is printed by the print statements in the program P1 assuming call by reference parameter passing?
Program P1() { x = 10; y = 3; func1(y,x,x); print x; print y; } func1(x,y,z) { y = y+4; z = x+y+z; }
A | 10, 3 |
B | 31, 3 |
C | 27, 7 |
D | None of the above |
And variable y and z of func1 points to address of variable x.
Therefore, y = y+4 ⇒ y = 10+4 = 14
and z = x+y+z ⇒ z = 14+14+3 = 31
z will be stored back in k.
Hence, x=31 and y will remain as it is (y=3).
Hence, answer is (B).
Question 31 |

A | At most one activation record exists between the current activation record and the activation record for the main |
B | The number of activation records between the current activation record and the activation record for the main depends on the actual function calling sequence. |
C | The visibility of global variables depends on the actual function calling sequence. |
D | Recursion requires the activation record for the recursive function to be saved on a different stack before the recursive fraction can be called. |
Question 32 |
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.

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 |

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

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

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 37 |
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 38 |
Choose the best matching between the programming styles in Group 1 and their characteristics in Group 2.
Group-1 Group-2 P. Functional 1. Command-based, procedural Q. Logic 2. Imperative, abstract data type R. Object-oriented 3. Side-effect free, declarative, expression evaluation S. Imperative 4. Declarative, clausal representation, theorem proving
A | P - 2, Q - 3, R - 4, S - 1 |
B | P - 4, Q - 3, R - 2, S - 1 |
C | P - 3, Q - 4, R - 1, S - 2 |
D | P - 3, Q - 4, R - 2, S - 1 |
Q) Logic is also declarative but involves theorem proving.
R) Object oriented is imperative statement based and have abstract data types.
S) Imperative programs are made giving commands and follow definite procedure.
Question 39 |

C | the greatest common divisor of x and y |
D | the least common multiple of x and y |
Question 40 |
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 41 |
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 42 |
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 43 |
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 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-program:
void foo(int n, int sum) { int k = 0, j = 0; if (n == 0) return; k = n % 10; j = n / 10; sum = sum + k; foo(j, sum); printf ("%d,", k); } int main () { int a = 2048, sum = 0; foo(a, sum); printf ("%d\n", sum); }
What does the above program print?
A | 8, 4, 0, 2, 14
|
B | 8, 4, 0, 2, 0 |
C | 2, 0, 4, 8, 14 |
D | 2, 0, 4, 8, 0 |
⇒ foo (a, sum) = foo (2048,0)
⇒ n == 2048
⇒ k = n%10 = 2048%10 = 8
⇒ j = n/10 = 2048/10 = 204
Sum = Sum+k = 0+8 = 8
foo(j, sum) = foo(204, 8)
⇒ n=204
k = n%10 = 204%10 = 4
j = n/10 = 204/10 = 20
sum = sum+k = 12+0 = 12
foo(j, sum) =foo(2,12)
⇒ n=2
k = n%10 = 2%10 = 2
j = n/10 = 2/10 = 0
sum = 14
foo(0,14) ⇒ n==0
printf("%d", k) ⇒ k = 2, 0, 4, 8
After foo( ) statement one more printf statement is there then if print 0 after all digits of n.
2, 0, 4, 8, 0.
