Question 1
The difference between a named pipe and a regular file in Unix is that
A
Unlike a regular file, named pipe is a special file
B
 The data in a pipe is transient, unlike the content of a regular file
C
Pipes forbid random accessing, while regular files do allow this.
D
All of the above

Question 2
A class of 30 students occupy a classroom containing 5 rows of seats, with 8 seats in each row. If the students seat themselves at random, the probability that the sixth seat in the fifth row will be empty is
A
1/5
B
1/3
C
1/4
D
2/5

Discuss it


Question 2 Explanation: 
 There are 5 rows with 8 seats in each row.
So, there are total 40 seats
If sixth seat in the fifth row is empty then 30 students have 39 choices of seats
So, ways to choose from given choices = 39C30
But, total ways to choose = 40C30

Probability = 39C30 / 40C30
Probability = 1/4

Option (C) is correct.


Question 3
 The domain of the function log( log sin(x) ) is
A
0 < x < π   
B
2nπ < x < (2n + 1) π , for n in N
C
Empty set
D
None of the above

Question 4 Explanation: 
 Given  problem is Subset-sum problem in which a set of non-negative integers, and a value sum is given, to determine if there is a subset of the given set with sum equal to given sum. With recursion technique, time complexity of the above problem is exponential. We can solve the problem in Pseudo-polynomial time using Dynamic programming.

Option (B) is correct
Question 5
( G, *) is an abelian group. Then
             
A
x = x -1, for any x belonging to G
B
x = x2, for any x belonging to G
C
(x * y )2 = x2 * y2, for any x, y belonging to G
D
G is of finite order

Question 6

Consider the following C code segment:

#include 
main()
{
    int i, j , x ;
    scanf("%d", &x);
    i = 1 ; j = 1;
    while ( i< 10 ) {
          j = j * i;
          i = i + 1;
          if (i == x) break ;
          }
 }

For the program fragment above, which of the following statements about the variables i and j must be true after execution of this program? [!(exclamation) sign denotes factorial in the answer]
             
A
 ( j = (x - 1 )! ) ∧ (i >=  x)
B
( j = 9!) ∧ (i =10)
C
(( j  =  10!) ∧ (i = 10 )) V (( j = (x - 1)!) ∧ (i = x ))
D
(( j = 9!) ∧ (i = 10)) V (( j = (x - 1)!) ∧ (i = x ))

Question 8 Explanation: 
 BFS is used to Find the diameter of the graph and to test whether a graph is bipartite or not. BFS has many other applications also.

Option (C) is correct.
Question 9
Micro program is

A
the name of a source program in micro computers
B
set of micro instructions that defines the individual operations in response to a machine-language instruction
C
a primitive form of macros used in assembly language programming
D

Question 10
Given two sorted list of size m and n respectively. The number of comparisons needed the worst case by the merge sort algorithm will be


A
m x n
B
maximum of m and n
C
minimum of m and n
D
m + n - 1
MergeSort    ISRO CS 2018    
Discuss it


Question 10 Explanation: 
 To merge two lists of size m and n, we need to do m+n-1 comparisons in worst case. Since we need to merge 2 at a time, the optimal strategy would be to take smallest size lists first. The reason for picking smallest two items is to carry minimum items for repetition in merging.

So, option (D) is correct.
