Which of the following applications is suitable for FIFO Queue?
-
An inventory of parts is to be processed by part number
-
A dictionary of words used by a spelling checker id to be created.
-
A program to solve a maze is to back track to an earlier position when a dead end position is reached.
-
A program to keep track of patients as the check into clinic, assigning them to doctors a first come, first served basis
Correct Answer
A. A program to solve a maze is to back track to an earlier position when a dead end position is reached.Explanation
A FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queue is suitable for the program to solve a maze and backtrack to an earlier position when a dead end position is reached. This is because the queue follows the principle of processing elements in the order they were added, which aligns with the concept of backtracking in a maze. Each time a dead end is reached, the previous positions can be stored in the queue, and then the program can backtrack by retrieving and processing the positions in the order they were added.Rate this question:

Which data structure is needed to convert infix notation to post fix notation is
-
Branch
-
Queue
-
Tree
-
Stack
Correct Answer
A. StackExplanation
To convert infix notation to postfix notation, a stack data structure is needed. In infix notation, operators are placed between operands, which makes it difficult to evaluate expressions. However, in postfix notation, operators are placed after operands, making it easier to evaluate expressions using a stack. The stack is used to store operators temporarily and to determine the order of operations. When encountering an operator, it is pushed onto the stack, and when encountering an operand, it is added to the postfix expression. The operators in the stack are then popped and added to the postfix expression based on their precedence. This process continues until the entire infix expression is converted to postfix notation.Rate this question:

Data are followed to be transmitted in only one direction in a:
-
Simplex channel
-
Full Duplex
-
Half Duplex
-
Dump Channel
Correct Answer
A. Simplex channelExplanation
A simplex channel is a communication channel that allows data to be transmitted in only one direction. In this type of channel, information flows from the sender to the receiver, but not in the opposite direction. This means that data can only be sent or received, but not both simultaneously. Therefore, the correct answer is a simplex channel.Rate this question:

Implementation of an inverted list to maintain the record list for each value for a given attribute can be done by —
-
Sequential file
-
Direct file
-
Indexed file
-
Indexed sequential
Correct Answer
A. Sequential fileExplanation
An inverted list is a data structure that stores a list of records for each unique value of a given attribute. In this case, the implementation of an inverted list can be done using a sequential file. A sequential file stores records in a sequential order, allowing for efficient insertion and retrieval of records. By organizing the records sequentially, it becomes easier to maintain the record list for each value of the attribute. Therefore, a sequential file is a suitable choice for implementing an inverted list in this scenario.Rate this question:

A 6-MHz channel is used by digital signaling system utilizing 4 – level signals. What is maximum possible transmission rate?
-
1.5 M band/sec
-
6 M band/sec
-
12 M band/sec
-
24 M band/sec
Correct Answer
A. 12 M band/secExplanation
The maximum possible transmission rate in a digital signaling system utilizing 4-level signals on a 6-MHz channel is 12 M band/sec. This is because each level can transmit 2 bits of information, and since there are 4 levels, the total transmission rate is 4 times the channel bandwidth. Therefore, 4 * 6 MHz = 24 M band/sec is the maximum possible transmission rate.Rate this question:

A linear list of elements in which deletion can be done from one end and insertion can take place only at other end (rear) is known as
-
Queues
-
Stacks
-
Trees
-
Branch
Correct Answer
A. QueuesExplanation
A linear list of elements in which deletion can be done from one end and insertion can take place only at the other end (rear) is known as a queue. In a queue, the elements follow the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle, meaning the element that is inserted first will be the first one to be removed. This makes queues suitable for scenarios where order matters, such as processing tasks in the order they are received. Stacks, on the other hand, follow the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle, where the last element inserted is the first one to be removed. Trees and branches are different data structures used for organizing and representing hierarchical relationships between elements.Rate this question:
