In a k-way set associative cache, the cache is divided into v sets, each of which consists of k
lines. The lines of a set are placed in sequence one after another. The lines in set s are
sequenced before the lines in set (s+1). The main memory blocks are numbered 0 onwards.
The main memory block numbered j must be mapped to any one of the cache lines from
(A) ( j mod v ) * k to ( j mod v ) *k + ( k 1)
(B) ( j mod v ) to ( j mod v ) + ( k 1)
(C) ( j mod k ) to ( j mod k ) + ( v 1)
(D) ( j mod k ) * v to ( j mod k ) * v + ( v 1)
Answer: -(A)
Exp:- Position of main memory block in the cache (set) = (main memory block number) MOD
(number of sets in the cache).
As the lines in the set are placed in sequence, we can have the lines from 0 to (K 1) in each
set.
Number of sets = v, main memory block number = j
First line of cache = (j mod v)*k; last line of cache = (j mod v)*k + (k 1)

Three concurrent processes X, Y, and Z execute three different code segments that access and
update certain shared variables. Process X executes the P operation (i.e., wait) on semaphores
a, b and c; process Y executes the P operation on semaphores b, c and d; process Z executes
the P operation on semaphores c, d, and a before entering the respective code segments. After
completing the execution of its code segment, each process invokes the V operation (i.e.,
signal) on its three semaphores. All semaphores are binary semaphores initialized to one.
Which one of the following represents a deadlock-free order of invoking the P operations by
the processes?
(A) X : P ( a ) P ( b ) P ( c ) Y : P ( b ) P ( c ) P ( d ) Z : P ( c ) P ( d ) P ( a )
(B) X : P ( b ) P ( a ) P ( c ) Y : P ( b ) P ( c ) P ( d ) Z : P ( a ) P ( c ) P ( d )
(C) X : P ( b ) P ( a ) P ( c ) Y : P ( c ) P ( b ) P ( d ) Z : P ( a ) P ( c ) P ( d )
(D) X : P ( a ) P ( b ) P ( c ) Y : P ( c ) P ( b ) P ( d ) Z : P ( c ) P ( d ) P ( a )
Answer:-(B)
Exp:-
Suppose X performs P(b) and preempts, Y gets chance, but cannot do its first wait i.e., P(b),
so waits for X, now Z gets the chance and performs P(a) and preempts, next X gets chance.
X cannot continue as wait on a is done by Z already, so X waits for Z. At this time Z can
continue its operations as down on c and d. Once Z finishes, X can do its operations and so Y.
In any of execution order of X, Y, Z one process can continue and finish, such that waiting is
not circular. In options (A),(C) and (D) we can easily find circular wait, thus deadlock

(C) the data records of the file are organized in the same order as the data entries of the index
(D) the data records of the file are organized not in the same order as the data entries of the
index
Answer:-(C)
Exp:-
Clustered index is built on ordering non key field and hence if the index is clustered then the
data records of the file are organized in the same order as the data entries of the index.

A scheduling algorithm assigns priority proportional to the waiting time of a process. Every
process starts with priority zero(the lowest priority). The scheduler re-evaluates the process
priorities every T time units and decides the next process to schedule. Which one of the
following is TRUE if the processes have no I/O operations and all arrive at time zero?
(A) This algorithm is equivalent to the first-come-first-serve algorithm
(B) This algorithm is equivalent to the round-robin algorithm
(C) This algorithm is equivalent to the shortest-job-first algorithm
(D) This algorithm is equivalent to the shortest-remaining-time-first algorithm
Answer:-(B)
Exp:- The given scheduling definition takes two parameters, one is dynamically assigned process
priority and the other is T time unit to re-evaluate the process priorities.
This dynamically assigned priority will be deciding processes order in ready queue of round
robin algorithm whose time quantum is same as T time units. As all the processes are
arriving at the same time, they will be given same priority but soon after first T time burst
remaining processes will get higher priorities

decoders with enable line needed to construct a 16K 16 RAM from 1K 8 RAM is
(A) 4
(B) 5
(C) 6
(D) 7
Answer: -(B)
9
Exp:-
RAM chip size = 1k 8[1024 words of 8 bits each ]

RAM to construct =16k 16
Number of chips required =
16k 16
= 16 2 [16 chips vertically with each having 2 chips
1k 8
horizontally]
So to select one chip out of 16 vertical chips, we need 4 x 16 decoder.
Available decoder is 2 x 4 decoder
To be constructed is 4 x 16 decoder
So we need 5, 2 x 4 decoder in total to construct 4 x 16 decoder.

What is the worst case time complexity of a sequence of n queue operations on an initially
empty queue?
(A) ( n )
(B) ( n + k )
(C) ( nk )
( )
(D) n 2
Answer:- (A)
Exp:- Initially the queue is empty and we have to perform n operations.
i) One option is to perform all Enqueue operations i.e. n Enqueue operations. Complexity
will be (n)
or
ii) We can perform a mix of Enqueue and Dequeue operations. It can be Enqueue for first
n/2 times and then Dequeue for next n/2, or Enqueue and Dequeue alternately, or any
permutation of Enqueues and Dequeues totaling n times. Complexity will be (n)
or
iii) We can perform Enqueues and MultiDequeues. A general pattern could be as follows:
11
Enqueue Enqueue (ktimes) MultiDequeue Enqueue Enqueue (ktimes) MultiDequeue

Up to total n
---- k items enqueued -----k items deleted----k items enqueued----k items deleted -- and
so on.
The number of times this k-Enqueues, MutiDequeue cycle is performed = n
So, Complexity will be k times Enqueue + 1 MultiDequeue) n
Which is 2k n
k +1
k +1
) = (n )
k +1
or
iv) We can just perform n MultiDequeues (or n Dequeues for that matter):
Each time the while condition is false (empty queue), condition is checked just once for
each of the n operations. So (n).

Which of the following statements related to merging of the two sets in the corresponding
LALR parser is/are FALSE?
1. Cannot be merged since look aheads are different
2. Can be merged but will result in SR conflict
3. Can be merged but will result in RR conflict
4. Cannot be merged since goto on c will lead to two different sets
(A) 1 only
(B) 2 only
(C) 1 and 4 only
(D) 1, 2, 3 and 4

Answer:-(D)
Exp:-
x c.X, c / d
x c.X,$
x .cX, c / d
x .cX,$
x .d, c / d
x .d, $
x c.X, c / d / $
x .cX, c / d / $
x .d, c / d / $
1. Merging of two states depends on core part (production rule with dot operator), not on
look aheads.
2. The two states are not containing Reduce item ,So after merging, the merged state can not
contain any S-R conflict
3. As there is no Reduce item in any of the state, so cant have R-R conflict.
4. Merging of stats does not depend on further goto on any terminal.
So all statements are false.

(D) ExitX ( R, S) {
V ( R );
P ( S) ;
}
EntryY ( R, S) {
V ( S) ;
P ( R );
}
Answer:-(C)
Exp:- For computing both the array a[] and b[], first element a[i] should be computed using which
b[i] can be computed. So process X and Y should run in strict alteration manner, starting with
X. This requirement meets with implementation of ExitX and EntryY given in option C.

In an IPv4 datagram, the M bit is 0, the value of HLEN is 10, the value of total length is 400
and the fragment offset value is 300. The position of the datagram, the sequence numbers of
the first and the last bytes of the payload, respectively are
(A) Last fragment, 2400 and 2789
(B) First fragment, 2400 and 2759
(C) Last fragment, 2400 and 2759
(D) Middle fragment, 300 and 689
Answer:-(C)
Exp:- M= 0 Means there is no fragment after this, i.e. Last fragment
HLEN=10 - So header length is 410=40, as 4 is constant scale factor
Total Length = 400(40 Byte Header + 360 Byte Payload)
Fragment Offset = 300, that means 3008 Byte = 2400 bytes are before this last fragment
So the position of datagram is last fragment
Sequence number of First Byte of Payload = 2400 (as 0 to 2399 Sequence no are used)
Sequence number of Last Byte of Payload = 2400+360-1=2759

A shared variable x, initialized to zero, is operated on by four concurrent processes W, X, Y, Z as

follows. Each of the processes W and X reads x from memory, increments by one, stores it to
memory, and then terminates. Each of the processes Y and Z reads x from memory, decrements by
two, stores it to memory, and then terminates. Each process before reading x invokes the P
operation (i.e., wait) on a counting semaphore S and invokes the V operation (i.e., signal) on the
semaphore S after storing x to memory. Semaphore S is initialized to two. What is the maximum

Common Data Questions: 48 & 49
The procedure given below is required to find and replace certain characters inside an input
character string supplied in array A. The characters to be replaced are supplied in array oldc,
while their respective replacement characters are supplied in array newc. Array A has a fixed
length of five characters, while arrays oldc and newc contain three characters each. However, the
procedure is flawed
void find _ and _ replace ( char * A, char * oldc, char * newc ) {
for ( int i = 0; i < 5; i + + )
for ( int j = 0; j < 3; j + + )
if ( A [i ] = = oldc [ j])
A [i ] = newc [ j] ;
The procedure is tested with the following four test cases

(1) oldc = "abc", newc = "dab"
(2) oldc = "cde", newc = "bcd"
(3) oldc = "bca ", newc = "cda "
(4) oldc = "abc", newc = "bac"
22
48.
The tester now tests the program on all input strings of length five consisting of characters
a, b, c, d and e with duplicates allowed. If the tester carries out this testing with the
four test cases given above, how many test cases will be able to capture the flaw?
(A) Only one
(B) Only two
(C) Only three
(D) All four
Answer:-(B)
Exp:- Flaw in this given procedure is that one character of Array A can be replaced by more than
one character of newc array, which should not be so.Test case (3) and (4) identifies this flaw
as they are containing oldc and newc array characters arranged in specific manner.
Following string can reflect flaw, if tested by test case (3).
initially i = j = 0
A = "b c d a"
i=0
oldc = "b c a "
j=0
newc = " c d a"
j=0
b = b so replaced by c
Next i = 0 & j = 1
A = " c c d a"
oldc = "b c a "
j=1
i=0
newc = " c d a"
j=1
c = c so replaced by d
Likewise single character b in A is replaced by c and then by d.

Same way test case (4) can also catch the flaw
49.
If array A is made to hold the string abcde, which of the above four test cases will be
successful in exposing the flaw in this procedure?
(A) None
(B) 2 only
(C) 3 and 4 only
(D) 4 only
Answer:-(C)
Exp:- Now for string abcde in array A, both test case (3) and (4) will be successful in finding the
flaw, as explained in above question.

A computer uses 46bit virtual address, 32bit physical address, and a threelevel paged page
table organization. The page table base register stores the base address of the firstlevel table
( T1 ) ,which occupies exactly one page. Each entry of T1 stores the base address of a page of the
secondlevel table ( T2 ) . Each entry of T2 stores the base address of a page of the thirdlevel table
( T3 )
54.
Each entry of T3 stores a page table entry (PTE). The PTE is 32 bits in size. The processor
used in the computer has a 1 MB 16 way set associative virtually indexed physically tagged cache.
The cache block size is 64 bytes.
What is the size of a page in KB in this computer?
(A) 2
(B) 4
(C) 8
(D) 16
25
Answer:-(C)
Exp:-
Let the page size be 2X Bytes.

Then, the page offset = X bits
46-x
Now, we are using 3-level paging. First level page table is contained in one page. Each page
table entry is 32-bit.
The size of T3 is =
246 * 22
= 246+2-x [ PTE=32 bit = 4B = 22B ]
2x
The size of T2 is =
246+2-x * 22
= 246+4-2x
2x
246+4-2x * 22
= 246+6-3x = 2X [ T1 occupies exactly one page]

What is the minimum number of page colours needed to guarantee that no two synonyms map to
different sets in the processor cache of this computer?
(A) 2
(B) 4
(C) 8
(D) 16
Answer:- (C)
Exp:-
As the page size is 213 Bytes and page coloring is asked so we divide cache size by page
size and group 16 pages in one set.
Number of pages in cache=1MB/8KB=128 pages
Number of set in cache=128/16=8 sets
Take any page of LAS, it will be mapped with cache on any one of these 8 sets (set
association mapping).For any two synonym to map with same set they should be colored with
same color of that respective set. So minimum we need 8 colors for this mapping.

After several defeats in wars, Robert Bruce went in exile and wanted to commit suicide. Just
before committing suicide, he came across a spider attempting tirelessly to have its net. Time
and again, the spider failed but that did not deter it to refrain from making attempts. Such
attempts by the spider made Bruce curious. Thus, Bruce started observing the nearimpossible goal of the spider to have the net. Ultimately, the spider succeeded in having its
net despite several failures. Such act of the spider encouraged Bruce not to commit suicide.
And then, Bruce went back again and won many a battle, and the rest is history.
