Answer - 4
29. The address of a class B host is to be split into subnets with a 6 - bit subnet number. What is the maximum number of subnets and maximum number of hosts in each subnet?
(1) 62 subnets and 1022 hosts
(2) 64 subnets and 1024 hosts
(3) 62 subnets and 254 hosts
(4) 64 subnets and 256 hosts
Answer - 1
Solution - In class B, the first two octets are reserved for NID, while the remaining octets are used for HID. As a result, the first six bits of the third octet are used for subnet, while the remaining ten bits are used for hosts.
The maximum number of subnets is 262, which equals 62.
Subtracting 2 reduces the number of available subnets by two in classic subnetting because subnet values consisting of all zeros and all ones (broadcast) reduce the number of available subnets by two. We can also have 64 in current networks.
and the number of hosts is 2^10-2=1022.
2 has been deducted. The number of hosts is also important. The address with all bits set to 1 is reserved for broadcasting, whereas the address with all host id bits set to 0 is utilised as the subnet's network address.
30. Which of the following statements are true?
(a) The fragmentation fields in the base header section of IPv4 have moved to the fragmentation extension header in IPv6.
(b) The authentication extension header is new in IPv6.
(c) The record route option is not implemented in IPv6.
Code :
(1) (a) and (b) Only
(2) (b) and (c) Only
(3) (a) and (c) Only
(4) (a), (b) and (c)
Answer - 4
Solution - Option 4 is the correct response. The fragmentation fields from IPv4's base header segment have been migrated to the fragmentation extension header in IPv6, making the following statement correct. The authentication header is the same in IPv4 and IPv6, but IPv6 contains a new authentication extension header.
31. Consider a full binary tree with n internal nodes, internal path length i, and external path length e. The internal path length of a full binary tree is the sum, taken over all nodes of the tree, of the depth of each node. Similarly, the external path length is the sum, taken over all leaves of the tree, of the depth of each leaf.
Which of the following is correct for the full binary tree?
(1) e = i + n
(2) e = i + 2n
(3) e = 2i + n
(4) e = 2n + i
Answer - 2
Solution - 
Internal path length i = d(A) + d(B) + d(C) = 0 + 1 + 1 = 2
External path length e = d(D) + d(E) + d(F) + d(G) = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
e = i + 2n = 2 + 2(3) = 8 can be seen.
Any whole binary tree can be checked to see if this is true.
The answer is e = i + 2n.
32. You are given a sequence of n elements to sort. The input sequence consists of n/k subsequences, each containing k elements. The elements in a given subsequence are all smaller than the elements in the succeeding subsequence and larger than the elements in the preceding subsequence. Thus, all that is needed to sort the whole sequence of length n is to sort the k elements in each of the n/k subsequences.
The lower bound on the number of comparisons needed to solve this variant of the sorting problem is:
(1) Ω(n)
(2) Ω(n/k)
(3) Ω(n lg k)
(4) Ω(n/k lg n/k)
Answer - 3
Solution - There are n/k subsequences, each with k elements.
When sorting k items in a subsequence with the quick sort technique, the difficulty of sorting k elements in a subsequence is klogk.
We have n/k sequences like this. Then, for n/k subsequences with k elements, the time complexity is:
klogk = (n/k)*
=nlogk
33. Consider the recurrence relation:
T (n) = 8T(n/2) + Cn, if n > 1
= b, if n =1
Where b and c are constants.
The order of the algorithm corresponding to above recurrence relation is:
(1) n
(2) n2
(3) n lg n
(4) n3
Answer - 4
Solution - The order of the algorithm corresponding to above recurrence relation is n3.
34. Consider the following two sequences :
X = <B, C, D, C, A, B, C>
and Y = <C, A, D, B, C, B>
The length of longest common subsequence of X and Y is:
(1) 5
(2) 3
(3) 4
(4) 2
Answer - 3
Solution - We looked for a length 5 sub-sequence between both sequences at first but couldn't discover one.
The length 4 sub-sequences were then verified, and CDBC and CDCB two sub-sequences were discovered.
35. A text is made up of the characters a, b, c, d, e each occurring with the probability 0.11, 0.40, 0.16, 0.09 and 0.24 respectively. The optimal Huffman coding technique will have the average length of:
(1) 2.40
(2) 2.16
(3) 2.26
(4) 2.15
Answer - 2
Solution - a = 0.11 b = 0.40 c = 0.16 d = 0.09 e = 0.24
now huffman coding for character:
a = 1111
b = 0
c = 110
d = 1111
e = 10
length for each character = no of bits * frequency of occurence: a = 4 * 0.11 = 0.44 b = 1 * 0.4 = 0.4 c = 3 * 0.16 = 0.48 d = 4 * 0.09 = 0.36 e = 2 * 0.24 = 0.48
Add these lengths together to get an average length:
2.16 = 0.44 + 0.4 + 0.48 + 0.36 + 0.48
36. An undirected graph G (V, E) contains n (n > 2) nodes named v1, v2,...,vn. Two nodes vi and vj are connected if and only if 0 < | i – j | ≤ 2. Each edge (vi, vj) is assigned a weight i+j.
The cost of the minimum spanning tree of such a graph with 10 nodes is :
(1) 88
(2) 91
(3) 49
(4) 21
Answer - 2
Solution -
We observe a pattern in the weight of MST being formed
For n=3 (1+2+3)+(1)
For n=4 (1+2+3+4)+(1+2)
For n=5 (1+2+3+4+5)+(1+2+3)
These can be obtained by drawing graphs for these graphs.
∴ Total weight of MST is n^2−n+1

38. Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE regarding Java Servelets?
(a) A Java Servelet is a server-side component that runs on the web server and extends the capabilities of a server.
(b) A Servelet can use the user interface classes like AWT or Swing.
Code :
(1) Only (a) is TRUE.
(2) Only (b) is TRUE.
(3) Both (a) and (b) are TRUE.
(4) Neither (a) nor (b) is TRUE.
Answer - 1
Solution - A Java Servlet is a server-side component that runs on a web server and expands the server's capabilities. It is an accurate statement.
Interface classes like as AWT and Swing cannot be used by a Java servlet.
The first statement is the only one that is correct.
39. Consider the following HTML table definition :
<table border=1>
<tr>
<td colspan=2> Text A </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Text B </td>
<td> Text C </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan=2> Text D </td>
<td> Text E </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Text F </td>
</tr>
</table>
The above HTML code would render on screen as :
Answer - 3
Solution - cd
ab ef
ij gh
ab -> rowspan “2”
cd -> colspan “2”
1st row closed
<tr> is row
<td> is data
ef placed in 2nd row. gh is in same row but rowspan “2”
2nd row also closed.
Move to 3rd row. Insert ij . its colspan “2”.
40. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
(a) In HTML, character entities are used to incorporate external content into a web page, such as images.
(b) Once a web server returns a cookie to a browser, the cookie will be included in all future requests from the browser to the same server.
Code :
(1) Only (a) is TRUE.
(2) Only (b) is TRUE.
(3) Both (a) and (b) are TRUE.
(4) Neither (a) nor (b) is TRUE.
Answer - 4
Solution - Character entities are used in HTML to include external material, like as photos, within a web page. This is a false statement.
When a browser receives a cookie from a web server, the cookie is included in all subsequent requests from the browser to the same server. This is also an incorrect assertion.
Both statements are incorrect.
As a result, option (D) is the correct answer.
41. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE regarding JAVA?
(a) Constants that cannot be changed are declared using the ‘static’ keyword.

47. A simple stand - alone software utility is to be developed in ’C’ programming by a team of software experts for a computer running Linux and the overall size of this software is estimated to be 20,000 lines of code. Considering (a, b) = (2.4, 1.05) as multiplicative and exponention factor for the basic COCOMO effort estimation equation and (c, d)=(2.5, 0.38) as multiplicative and exponention factor for the basic COCOMO development time estimation equation, approximately how long does the software project take to complete?
(1) 10.52 months
(2) 11.52 months
(3) 12.52 months
(4) 14.52 months
Answer - 2
Solution - 20,000 LOC (Lines of Code) = 20K LOC (Given)
(a,b) = (2.4, 1.05) (Given)
(c,d) = (2.5,0.38) (Given)
The basic COCOMO model gives an approximate estimate of the project parameters.
Effort = 2.4 * (20)1.05 PM
= 2.4 * 23.231 = 55.756 PM
T dev = 2.5 * (55.756)0.38 months
= 2.5 * 4.608 = 11.52 months
Therefore, time taken for completion of the software project is 11.52 months.
