Note : This Paper contains Seventy Five (75) multiple-choice questions, each
       question carrying Two (2) marks. Attempt All of them.

1.   Let combinational function f(a, b, c, d) = abc′ + ab′cd′ (where x′ means
     complement of x). If all inputs are equally probable, then the probability that
     the function evaluates to True is :

12.   Consider the three statements below :

      (i)     A NULL in a column always satisfies a UNIQUE constraint.

      (ii)    Oracle Server enforces the UNIQUE constraint by explicitly creating

              a unique index on the unique key column.

      (iii)   PRIMARY KEY constraint enforces uniqueness of the column/s and

              ensures that no column that is part of the PRIMARY KEY contains

              a NULL value.

      Which of these statements are true in the context of SQL standards ?

      (A)     Only statements (i) and (iii) are true

13.   Given : MyPalette provides that a colour pixel could be either set to invisible

      mode or otherwise it is visible. This is obtained by reserving a one bit flag

      as an attribute of a pixel. Making a coloured pixel invisible is equivalent

      of :

      (A)     painting it with white colour

      (B)     painting it black

Consider the following information to answer question Nos. 28 & 29 :

      Hosts A and B are each connected to a switch S via 10-Mbps links as in
      the following figure :




      A and B represent nodes in the network and S is the switch connecting the
      two nodes. The propagation delay on each link is 20 µs. S is a store-and
      forward device; it begins retransmitting a received packet 35 µs after it has
      finished receiving it.

45.   A moderately complex product has 11 external inputs that modify 3 internal


      files. Apart from 10 external inquiries, the system interfaces with three legacy


      systems and provides information to users consisting of 2 reports and an error


      message. Items are of three types : simple, average and complex. External


      inquiries and external inputs carry the same weight, 3 per simple item. Simple


      items of type output, interface files and internal files carry the weights 4,


      5 and 7 respectively. The weight of a complex item is double that of a simple


      item of the same type, and the weight of an average item is obtained by


      rounding to the nearest integer the average of the weights of the simple and


      the complex items. Assume that the simple, average and complex items are


      equally uniformly distributed.
