Q: 1 Suppose X is a composite attribute of an entity type and has three components, A1, A2 and A3, where only A2 is multi-valued and can be NULL. If domain sets of A1, A2 and A3 have 5, 3, and 4 elements respectively, what is the size of the domain of X?
Option D
The attribute X is a composite attribute made up of three components, A1, A2, and A3, whose domain sizes are 5, 3, and 4 respectively. Since A2 is a multi-valued attribute, it can take multiple values from its domain or even be NULL.
If the domain of A2 has 3 elements, then the number of possible subsets of A2 is 23 = 8, because each element may be either included or not.
Now, the total number of possible combinations for X is calculated as:
Domain size of X = (Domain of A1) × (Domain of A2) × (Domain of A3)
Domain size of X = 5 × 8 × 4 = 160
Q: 2 What will be the output of the following C code in GCC compiler?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a = 5, i = 0;
for(;i<3;a++,i++){}
printf(“%d”,a++);
return 0;
}
Option D
The loop executes 3 times, incrementing both a and i in each iteration. After the loop ends, the value of a becomes 8. The statement printf("%d", a++); prints the current value of a, which is 8. Since it is a post-increment, a is increased to 9 after printing, but this updated value is not displayed.
Q: 3 Output of 2-inputs NAND gate if one of its input is permanently connected to ‘0’ is :
Option B
A NAND gate produces the output as the negation of the AND operation, i.e., Y=(A⋅B)’. If one of its inputs is permanently connected to 0, then the AND operation becomes 0⋅B=0. So, Y=(0⋅B)′=0′=1. This means the output of the NAND gate will always be 1 regardless of the other input. Hence, the correct answer is 1.
Q: 4 Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched:
Option B
Cohesion refers to how closely the elements within a single module of a program are related to one another. The higher the cohesion, the better the design, as the module performs a single, well-defined task. Different types of cohesion describe different levels of relationship among module elements.
| TYPE OF COHESION | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Co-incidental Cohesion | The elements inside the module are unrelated and are put together without any specific reason or purpose. Such grouping usually happens by accident or poor design decisions, making maintenance and understanding very difficult. |
| Logical Cohesion | Elements are grouped because they perform similar types of activities. However, which operation is executed depends on a control flag or parameter. |
| Temporal Cohesion | Elements of the module are grouped together because they are executed at the same time, such as during system startup, initialization, or shutdown. These operations are related by their timing rather than their function. |
| Procedural Cohesion | Elements are grouped because they are part of the same procedure or control sequence. |
| Communicational Cohesion | The elements of the module are grouped because they operate on the same data set. |
| Sequential Cohesion | This occurs when the output of one element becomes the input of the next. |
| Functional Cohesion | Every element in the module contributes to a single, well-defined purpose or function. The module performs exactly one task and nothing else, making it easy to test, reuse, and maintain. |
Q: 5 Choose the correct output of the following code when executed in GCC compiler:
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int arr[] = {1,2,3,4,5};
printf(“%c”,*(arr+3)+65);
}
Option D
The expression *(arr+3) accesses the 4th element of the array (4). Adding 65 gives 69. Since %c is used, ASCII 69 is printed, which is E.
Q: 6 Which of the following represents the two approaches to store a relation in the distributed database?
Option A
In a distributed database system, data is stored across multiple sites or nodes, and there are two main approaches to store relations.
Replication involves storing copies of the same data at multiple sites to increase availability and allow parallel query processing. However, replication requires synchronizing updates across copies to maintain consistency, which adds overhead.
Fragmentation involves dividing a relation into smaller parts called fragments, and storing each fragment at a site where it is most needed.
Q: 7 The most common technique used for protecting a critical section in Linux is:
Option B
In Linux, a critical section is a part of the code that accesses shared resources, such as variables, files, or hardware, that must not be used by more than one process or thread at a time. To prevent data corruption or race conditions, Linux uses synchronization mechanisms to protect these critical sections. The most common technique used in the Linux kernel for this purpose is the spinlock.
A spinlock is a lightweight lock used in Linux to protect a critical section. It makes a process “spin” in a loop until it can enter the section, ensuring that only one process accesses the shared resource at a time without using heavy context switching.
Q: 8 At the architectural design level, a software architect uses an _________ to model the manner in which software interacts with entities external to its boundaries.
Option B
An ACD (Architectural Context Diagram) provides a high-level view of the system and shows how it fits into its environment. It illustrates the system boundary and depicts all external interfaces through which the system communicates with other entities.
This helps designers and stakeholders understand what lies inside and outside the system’s scope, ensuring that all necessary interactions are properly identified and managed.
Q: 9 What will be the output of the following Python code?
a = True
b = False
c = False
if not a or b:
print(1)
elif not a or not b and c:
print(2)
elif not a or b or not b and a:
print(3)
else:
print(4)
Option C
The precedence of logical operator in Python is:
Q: 10 Which of the following domains is NOT typically part of a requirements (analysis) model?
Option D
During the requirements analysis phase of software engineering, the main goal is to understand what the system should do, not how it will be built. The requirements analysis focuses on describing the system in terms of information, functions, and behavior.
However, the Architectural Domain is not part of the requirements model. It comes later in the design phase, where the system overall structure and organization are defined.
