3. An analog signal carries 4 bits in each signal unit. If 1000 signal units are sent per second, then baud rate and bit rate of the signal are ............... and ..............
(A) 4000 bauds \ sec & 1000 bps
(B) 2000 bauds \ sec & 1000 bps
(C) 1000 bauds \ sec & 500 bps
(D) 1000 bauds \ sec & 4000 bps
Answer: D
Explanation:
Bit rate is the number of bits per second. Baud rate is the number of signal units per second. Baud rate is less than or equal to the bit rate.
Baud rate = 1000 bauds per second (baud/s)
Bit rate = 1000 x 4 = 4000 bps

5. Using the RSA public key crypto system, if p=13, q=31 and d=7, then the value of e is
(A) 101 (B) 105
(C) 103 (D) 107
Answer: C
Explanation:
Basic RSA Algorithm:
1. Choose two primes, p & q.
2. Compute n=p*q and z=(p-1)*(q-1).
3. Choose a number relatively prime to z and call it d.
4. Find e such that e*d=1modz.
Given p=13, q=31 & d=7, e=?
n=p*q=403
z=(p-1)(q-1)=360
e*d=1modz
7e=1mod360, then 7e must be 361, 721, 1081, 1441, etc. Dividing each of these in turn by 7 to see which is divisible by 7, we find that 721/7 = 103, hence e = 103.

35. Big - O estimate for
f(x) = (x + 1) log(x2 + 1) + 3x2 is given as
(A) O(xlogx) (B) O(x2)
(C) O(x3) (D) O(x2logx)
Answer: B
Explanation:
Big-O notation of f(x)=(x+1) log(x2+1) + 3x2
Note (x+1) is O(x) and x2+1≤2x2 when x>1
So, log x2+1≤log(2x2)=log 2+ log x2=log 2+ 2 log x
≤ 3 log x if x >2
Thus, log x2+1 is O(log x)
The first part of f(x) is O(x log x)
Also, 3x2 is O(x2)
So, f(x) is O(max(x log x, x2))=O(x2) as x log x ≤ x2 for x >1

46. Consider a preemptive priority based scheduling algorithm based on dynamically changing priority. Larger priority number implies higher priority. When the process is waiting for CPU in the ready queue (but not yet started execution), its priority changes at a rate a = 2. When it starts running, its priority changes at a rate b = 1. All the processes are assigned priority value 0 when they enter ready queue. Assume that the following processes want to execute :
Process Arrival Service
ID Time Time
P1 0 4
P2 1 1
P3 2 2
P4 3 1
The time quantum q = 1. When two processes want to join ready queue simultaneously, the process which has not executed recently is given priority. The finish time of processes P1, P2, P3 and P4 will respectively be
(A) 4, 5, 7 and 8
(B) 8, 2, 7 and 5
(C) 2, 5, 7 and 8
(D) 8, 2, 5 and 7
Answer: D
47. The virtual address generated by a CPU is 32 bits. The Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) can hold total 64 page table entries and a 4-way set associative (i.e. with 4- cache lines in the set). The page size is 4 KB. The minimum size of TLB tag is
(A) 12 bits (B) 15 bits
(C) 16 bits (D) 20 bits
Answer: C
Explanation:
VirtualAddress = 32 bits
PageSize = 4KB = 12 bits
therefore : VPNTag = 20 bits, OffsetTag = 12 bits
TLBEntryLength = VPNTag = 20 bits
TotalTLBEntries = 64,
4-way implies 64/ 4 = 16 sets = 4 bits
therefore : TLBIndex = 4 bits
TLBTag = TLBEntryLength - TLBIndex = 20 - 4 = 16 bits
48. Consider a disk queue with request for input/output to block on cylinders
98, 183, 37, 122, 14, 124, 65, 67
in that order. Assume that disk head is initially positioned at cylinder 53 and moving towards cylinder number 0. The total number of head movements using Shortest Seek Time First (SSTF) and SCAN algorithms are respectively
(A) 236 and 252 cylinders
(B) 640 and 236 cylinders
(C) 235 and 640 cylinders
(D) 235 and 252 cylinders
Answer: 236 and 208 cylinders
Explanation:
SSTF
Initial head position =53
The closest queue to initial head position=65
head moves from 53 to 65=12
head moves from 65 to 67=2
head moves from 67 to 37=30
head moves from 37 to 14=23
head moves from 14 to 98=84
head moves from 98 to 122=24
head moves from 122 to 124=2
head moves from 124 to 183=59
Total head movement=236
SCAN
Initial head position=53 and moving towards 0
head moves from 53 to 37=16
head moves from 37 to 14=23
head moves from 14 to 65=51
head moves from 65 to 67=2
head moves from 67 to 98=31
head moves from 98 to 122=24
head moves from 122 to 124=2
head moves from 124 to 183=59
Total head movement=208
