For the composition table of a cyclic group shown below

* a b c d
a a b c d
b b a d c
c c b d a
d d c a b

Which one of the following choices is correct?

1. a, b are generators

2. b, c are generators

3. c, d are generators

4. d, a are generators

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

a * a = a. So a can not generate anything other than a. In fact a is identity so a can not be generator.

So this eliminates Option A & D.

b*b = a. Also a is just identity, so b*a=a*b = a. So b can not generate all elements . So Option B is out.

Explanation:

Consider the following relational schema:

Suppliers(sid:integer, sname:string, city:string, street:string) Parts(pid:integer, pname:string, color:string) Catalog(sid:integer, pid:integer, cost:real) Assume that in the suppliers relation above, each supplier and each street within a city has a unique name, and (sname, city) forms a candidate key. No other functional dependency is implied other than those implied by primary and candidate keys.

Which of the following statements is TRUE about the above schema?

1. The schema is in BCNF.

2. The schema is in 3NF, but not in BCNF.

3. The schema is in 2NF, but not in 3NF.

4. The schema is not in 2NF.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The schema is in 3NF, but not in BCNF. (sname, city) forms the candidate key.
Suppliers(sid, sname, city, street)
sname is primary key.
sid, sname is also key.
city--> street
street is functionally dependent upon city.
sname--> city
So, transitivity occurs.
So, the schema is in 3NF, but not in BCNF.

1. All palindromes.

2. All odd length palindromes.

3. Strings that begin and end with the same symbol

4. All even length palindromes.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

1. The set of all strings containing the substring 00.

2. The set of all strings containing at most two 0's.

3. The set of all strings containing at least two 0's.

4. The set of all strings that begin and end with either 0 or 1.

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Which one of the following is FALSE?

1. There is unique minimal DFA for every regular language

2. Every NFA can be converted to an equivalent PDA.

3. Complement of every context-free language is recursive.

4. Every nondeterministic PDA can be converted to an equivalent deterministic PDA.

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The above DFA accepts the set of all strings over {0, 1} that

1. begin either with 0 or 1

2. end with 0

3. end with 00

4. contain the substring 00.

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Match all items in Group 1 with correct options from those given in Group 2.

Group 1 Group 2 P. Regular expression 1. Syntax analysis Q. Pushdown automata 2. Code generation R. Dataflow analysis 3. Lexical analysis S. Register allocation 4. Code optimization

1. P-4. Q-1, R-2, S-3

2. P-3, Q-1, R-4, S-2

3. P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2

4. P-2, Q-1, R-4, S-3

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let L = L1 $\cap$ L2, where L1 and L2 are languages as defined below: L1 = $(a^m b^m\ ca^n b^m | m,n \ge 0)$ L2 = $(a^i b^j\ c^k | i,j \ge 0)$ Then L is

1. Not recursive

2. Regular

3. Context free but not regular

4. Recursively enumerable but not context free.

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given the following state table of an FSM with two states A and B, one input and one output:

Present State A Present State B Input Next State A Next State B Output
0 0 0 0 0 1
0 1 0 1 0 0
1 0 0 0 1 0
1 1 0 1 0 0
0 0 1 0 1 0
0 1 1 0 0 1
1 0 1 0 1 1
1 1 1 0 0 1

If the initial state is A = 0, B = 0, what is the minimum length of an input string which will take the machine to the state A = 0, B = 1 with Output = 1?

1. 3

2. 4

3. 5

4. 6

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Consider a system with 4 types of resources R1 (3 units), R2 (2 units), R3 (3 units), R4 (2 units). A non-preemptive resource allocation policy is used. At any given instance, a request is not entertained if it cannot be completely satisfied. Three processes P1, P2, P3 request the sources as follows if executed independently.

Process P1: Process P2: Process P3:
t=0: requests 2 units of R2 t=0: requests 2 units of R3 t=0: requests 1 unit of R4
t=1: requests 1 unit of R3 t=2: requests 1 unit of R4 t=2: requests 2 units of R1
t=3: requests 2 units of R1 t=4: requests 1 unit of R1 t=5: releases 2 units of R1
t=5: releases 1 unit of R2 and 1 unit of R1. t=6: releases 1 unit of R3 t=7: requests 1 unit of R2
t=7: releases 1 unit of R3 t=8: Finishes t=8: requests 1 unit of R3
t=8: requests 2 units of R4 t=9: Finishes
t=10: Finishes

Which one of the following statements is TRUE if all three processes run concurrently starting at time t=0?

1. All processes will finish without any deadlock

2. Only P1 and P2 will be in deadlock.

3. Only P1 and P3 will be in a deadlock.

4. All three processes will be in deadlock.

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The essential content(s) in each entry of a page table is / are

1. Virtual page number

2. Page frame number

3. Both virtual page number and page frame number

4. Access right information

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A page table is in main memory which mop a page frame to a virtual memory page. So essential content is page frame number.
