4.       Let e: B^˄m→B^˄n is a group code. The minimum distance of ‘e’ is equal to:

(A) the maximum weight of a non zero code word

(A) two or more b’s     

(B) three or more b’s

(C) two or more a’s

Answer: A

6.       A WFF that is equivalent to the WFF x=>y is:

(A) y=>x             (B) ~y=>x

(C) ~y=>~x        (D) y=>~x

Answer: B

7.       Simplified form of Boolean expression xy+(~x)z+yz is:

(A) xy+(~x)z      (B) (~x)y+(~x)z

(C) (~x)y+xz      (D) xy+xz

Answer: A

8.       In order to build a MOD-18 counter, the minimum number of flip flops needed is equal to:

(A) 18     (B) 9

(C) 5       (D) 4

Answer: C

Explanation:

With 'n' no. of flip-flops you can get upto max. modulo-[2^n] counter.

Therefore for modulo-18 counter 2^5 = 32 which is greater than 18 and 2^4 = 16 which is less than 18. Hence we require 5 flip-flops.

9.       The dual of the switching function F=x+yz is given by:

(A) x+yz                        

(B) x(y+z)

(C) (~x)+(~y)(~z)          

(D) (~x)((~y)+(~z))

Answer: B

(A) CMOS         (B) DTL

(C) TTL              (D) ECL

Answer: A

(A) i≤100           (B) i≤101

(C) i<100           (D) i<101

Answer: B

12.    Consider the following linked list:

Which of the following piece of code will insert the node pointed to by q at the end of the list ?

(A) for (p=list; p!=NULL; p=p→next);

p=q;

(B) for (p=list; p!=NULL; p=p→next);

p→next=q;

(C) for (p=list; p→next !=NULL; p=p→next);

p=q;

(D) for (p=list; p→next !=NULL; p=p→next);

p→next=q;

Answer: D

....   

case ‘C’=printf (“%d\n”, x);   

}

(B) x=’A’;

switch(x)

{case ‘A’<=x <=’C’ : printf (“%d\n”, x);}

(C) x=’A’;

switch(x)

{

case ‘A’ : printf (“%d\n”, x);       

break;

case ‘B’ : printf (“%d\n”, x);       

break;

case ‘C’ : printf (“%d\n”, x);       

break;   

}

(D) x=’A’;

switch(x)

{

case ‘A’=printf (“%d\n”, x);

case ‘B’=printf (“%d\n”, x);

case ‘C’=printf (“%d\n”, x);   

}
