    Through linked list one can implement

    • Stack

    • Graph

    • Queue

    • All of the above

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    A linked list is a data structure that consists of a sequence of nodes, where each node contains a reference to the next node in the sequence. This allows for efficient insertion and deletion operations. By utilizing the concept of linked lists, one can implement various data structures such as a stack, graph, and queue.

    In a stack, elements are added and removed from one end only, making it suitable for implementing a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) behavior. A linked list can be used to represent the stack efficiently.

    A graph can be represented using linked lists by storing each vertex as a node and connecting them through edges. This allows for efficient traversal and manipulation of the graph.

    A queue follows the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) behavior, where elements are added at one end and removed from the other end. Linked lists can be used to efficiently implement a queue by maintaining references to the first and last nodes.

    Therefore, all of the above options can be implemented using linked lists.

    The RAD (Rapid Application Development) model is a software development methodology that consists of several phases. Business modeling is one of these phases, which involves understanding and defining the business processes and requirements. Data modeling is another phase, where the data structures and relationships are designed. Application generation is also a phase in RAD, where the actual software application is developed using various tools and techniques. Therefore, all of the above options (Business modeling, Data modeling, and Application generation) are phases of the RAD model.

    Which of the following is not a context free grammar components?

    • Terminal symbols

    • Nonterminal symbol

    • Production line

    • List

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. List
    Explanation
    A context-free grammar consists of terminal symbols, nonterminal symbols, and production rules. Terminal symbols represent the basic elements or tokens of the language, while nonterminal symbols represent groups of symbols. Production rules define how symbols can be replaced or rearranged. However, "List" is not a component of a context-free grammar. It is not a commonly used term in the context of grammar components.

    Consider an operation of addition. For two numbers, the operating will generate a sum. If the operand are strings, and the same operation would produce a third string by concatenation. This features is called ____.

    • Inheritance

    • Encapsulation

    • Polymorphism

    • Binding

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Polymorphism
    Explanation
    Polymorphism is the correct answer because it refers to the ability of an operation to behave differently depending on the type of operands. In this case, the operation of addition can produce different results (a sum or a concatenated string) depending on whether the operands are numbers or strings. Polymorphism allows for flexibility and adaptability in programming, as it allows the same operation to be applied to different types of data.

    A combinational logic circuit which is used to send data coming from a single source to two or more separate destinations is called as

    • Decoder

    • Encoder

    • Multiplexer

    • Demultiplexer

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Demultiplexer
    Explanation
    A demultiplexer is a combinational logic circuit that takes input from a single source and sends it to multiple separate destinations. It is the opposite of a multiplexer, which takes multiple inputs and sends them to a single output. In this case, the demultiplexer is the correct answer because it fits the description of a circuit used to send data from a single source to two or more separate destinations.

    Which of the following is a universal gate?

    • AND

    • OR

    • EXOR

    • NAND

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. NAND
    Explanation
    A universal gate is a gate that can be used to implement any logic function. The NAND gate is a universal gate because it can be used to implement all other logic gates such as AND, OR, and EXOR. By connecting multiple NAND gates together, any logic function can be realized. Therefore, the NAND gate is considered a universal gate.

    In 8086 the overflow flag is set when

    • The sum is more than 16 bits

    • Signed numbers go out their range after an arithmetic operation

    • Carry and sign flags are set

    • During subtraction

    • None of above

    Correct Answer
    A. Signed numbers go out their range after an arithmetic operation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the overflow flag is set when signed numbers go out of their range after an arithmetic operation. In the 8086 processor, the overflow flag is used to indicate when the result of a signed arithmetic operation exceeds the range that can be represented with the available number of bits. This can occur when adding or subtracting signed numbers and the result is too large or too small to fit within the designated number of bits. The overflow flag helps to detect and handle these cases appropriately.

    What does microprocessor speed depends on?

    • Clock

    • Data bus width

    • Address bus width

    • All of these

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Address bus width
    Explanation
    The microprocessor speed depends on the address bus width. The address bus is responsible for carrying memory addresses from the microprocessor to the memory modules. A wider address bus allows the microprocessor to access a larger range of memory locations, which can result in faster processing speeds. Therefore, the speed of the microprocessor is directly influenced by the width of the address bus.

    The TRAP is one of the interrupts available its INTEL 8085. Which one statement is true of TRAP?

    • It is level triggered

    • It is negative edge triggered It is positive edge triggered

    • It is positive edge triggered

    • It is both positive edge triggered and level triggered

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. It is both positive edge triggered and level triggered
    Explanation
    The TRAP interrupt in the INTEL 8085 is unique in that it can be triggered by both a positive edge and a level. This means that it can be activated either when the signal transitions from low to high (positive edge) or when the signal remains consistently high (level). This flexibility allows for more versatile interrupt handling in the system.
