FFFF will be the last memory location in a

memory of size
A) 1 k
B) 16 k
C) 32 k
D) 64 k
Category 1

Answe
r
D) 64 k
64 k is 216 bytes i.e 164 bytes i.e 10000
bytes in hex code

A computer uses 8-digit mantissa and 2digit exponent. IF a = 0.052 and b = 28E
+ 11, then b+a-b will
A) Result is an overflow error
B) Result is an underflow error
C) Be 0
D) Be 5.28E + 11
Category 1

Answe
r
C) 0
Addition will be performed first. a+b will

be evaluated to b as the significant
digits of a will be lost when it is
converted to exponent 11.

The Boolean expression X + XY equals

A) X+Y
B) X+XY
C) Y+YX
D) XY+YX
Category 1

Answe
r
A) X+Y
X(1+Y)+XY
= X+ XY+XY
= X+Y(X+X)
= X+Y

Questio
n
If (12A)3 = (123)A , the value of A is

A) 3
B) 3 or 4
C) 2
D) None of the above
Category 1
40
Answe
r

A + 2*3 + 1*3*3 = 3 + 2*A + 1*A*A
Solving for A, we get A = -4 or 3. Both are
infeasible

Questio
n
To achieve parallelism, one needs a

minimum of
A) 2 processors
B) 3 processors
C) 4 processors
Category 1
50
Answe
r

Even with a single processor parallelism
can be achieved by overlapping
instruction fetch, decode, address
calculation, operand fetch and execution
of different instructions simultaneously
Category 1

To avoid the race condition, the number of

processes that may be simultaneously
inside their critical section is
A. 8
B. 1
C. 16

Questio
n
In a paged memory, the page hit ratio is

0.35. the time required to access a page
in secondary memory is equal to 100ns.
The time required to access a page in
primary memory is 10ns. The average
time required to access a page is
A) 3.0ns
B) 68.0ns
C) 68.5ns
D) 78.5ns
20
Answe
r
C) 68.5ns
0.35*10 + (1-0.35) * 100 = 68.5 nss

Questio
n
A computer system has 6 tape drives,

with n processes competing for them
Each process may need 3 tape drives. The
maximum value of n for which the
system is guaranteed to be deadlock free
is
A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 1
Category 2
30
Answe
r
A)2
2 process can never lead to deadlock as

the peak time demand of 6(3+3) tape
drives can be satisfied. But 3 process can
lead to a deadlock if each hold 2 drives
and then demand one more
Category 2

Questio
n
In a multi user OS, 20 request are made

to use a particular resource per hour, on
an avg. The probability that no requests
are made in 45 mins is
A) e-15
B) e-5
C) 1-e-5
D) 1-e-10
Category 2
40
Answe
r
A) e-15
Arrival pattern is a Poisson distribution
P(k requests) = e-xt (xt)k /K!
K=0 , x = 20, T = 3/4

Questio
n
IF there are 32 segments, each of size

1kb, then the logical address should have
A) 13 bits
B) 14 bits
C) 15 bits
D) 16 bits
Category 2
50
Answe
r
C) 15 bits
To specify a particular segment, 5 bits are
required (25 = 32). Having selected a
page, to select a particular byte one
needs 10 bits ( 210 = 1 K byte ). So, totally
5+10 = 15 bits are needed.
Category 2

Questio
n
If integer needs two bytes of storage, then

maximum value of a signed integer is
A) 216 1
B) 215 1
C) 216
D) 215
Category 3
10
Answe
r
B) 215 1
In signed magnitude form, one bit is
dedicate to store the sigh. Only the
remaining 15 bits are available to store the
magnitude.

printf (%d, printf(alex));

A) a syntax error
B) Outputs alex4
C) Outputs garbage
D) Prints alex and terminates abruptly
Category 3

Answe
r
B) Outputs alex4
Any function returns a value to the calling
environment. In this case, printf wil return
the number characters it printed. So the
output wil be alex4
