Sample Questions


PSEUDO CODE:


Q1.Determine the output of the following pseudocode.



Integer arr[]={10, 20, 30, 40, 5}
Integer a, s
Set s = 0Set a = arr[1] + arr[2]
Print a


A) 25

B) 5

C) 50

D) 40


Ans: C


Explanation:

There is an array of integers arr[]={10,20,30,40,5}. There are two variables a and b declared. . The value initialized for s is 0. On the next line adding the 1st index value 20 and 2nd index value 30 arr[1] + arr[2]( 20+30), the answer is 50 will be stored in a. Finally, printing the updated values of a which now equals to 50.





Q2.Which of the following series will be printed by the given pseudocode?



Integer i, j, k, n
Set j=1, k=1for(each i from1to5)
  print k
  j=j+1
  k=k+j
endfor


A) 1 3 6 10 15

B) 1 2 3 4 5

C) 2 4 6 8 10

D) 1 1 2 3 5


Ans: A 


Explanation:

There are four variables i, j,k, and n declared. The value initialized for j is 1 and k is 1.

For loop, i value starts from 1 loop will run till the i<5, In the first iteration i value, is 1, printing k value is 1. Next line j value will be incremented by 1 (1+1) =>2. On the next line adding k and j (1+2), then the answer is 3.

2nd iteration i value will be incremented by 1, i=2. Print k, the updated k value is now 3. on the next line j value will be incremented by 1 (2+1) =>3. On the next line adding k and j (3+3) , then the answer is 6.

3rd iteration i value will be incremented by 1, i=3. Print k, the updated k value is now 6. on the next line j value will be incremented by 1 (3+1) =>4. On the next line adding k and j (6+4) , then the answer is 10.

4th iteration i value will be incremented by 1, i=4. Print k, the updated k value is now 10. on the next line j value will be incremented by 1 (4+1) =>5. On the next line adding k and j (10+5) , then the answer is 15.

5th iteration i value will be incremented by 1, i=5. Print k, the updated k value is now 15. Next line j value will be incremented by 1 (5+1) =>6. On the next line adding k and j (15+6), then the answer is 21.

Here, the for loop condition comes out to be false, hence it comes out of the for loop.

The output of Pseudocode is 1 3 6 10 15.



Q3. Find the output of the following pseudo-code:



Integer x,y,z;
x=0
y=1
x = y = z = 8
Print x


Options:

A) 0

B) 8

C) 1

D) None of the above


Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation: In this question, the value of x is initialized as 0 and y as 1 in the beginning. Later the value 8 gets assigned to the variable z and then the value of z is assigned to the variable y and the value of y is assigned to the variable x simultaneously. Finally, the value of x is updated as 8.


Q3.Find the output of the following pseudo-code:



 Integer value, n
 Setvalue = 1, n = 45while(valuelessthan equal to n)
 value = value << 1endloop
 Print value


Options:

A) 64

B) 32

C) 45

D) None of the above


Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation: Here, the left shift operation pushes the values towards the left once; when 1 is left-shifted the value that we will obtain will always be 2 to the power something. When one is converted in the beginning and not shifted the value will be 2^0 which is 1. The next iteration pushes one place towards the left, therefore the value now will be 2^1 which equals to 2; this goes on happening until the value stored is greater than 45. The value which is greater than 45 in 2 powers is 64. Now the loop gets terminated and the last value stored in the variable is 64 and the same will be printed as output.



Q4.Find the output of the following pseudo-code:



 Integer c, d
 Set c = 15, d = 12
 d = c – 1Print c //line
 c = d + (c – 2)
 if(c < 40)
   Goto line
 end if


Options:

A) 14 26 38

B) 27 39

C) 15 27 39

D) None of the above


Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation: c and a is initialized, and d as well; line 5 we are re-initializing c in every iteration of goto; the goto loop terminates only when the value of c is greater than 40. Now the last value stored in c which breaks the if condition is 51 and all the numbers 15 27 and 39 respectively will be printed according to the algebraic expression in line number 5.



Q5. Find the output of the following pseudo-code if x= 4 and y=5:



 Integer fun(intx, inty)
   if(x > 1)
     fun(x – 2, y + 2)
   end ifprinty
 End function fun()


Options:

A) 4 5 6

B) 7 6 5

C) 9 7 5

D) None of the above


Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation: the first reverse recursion would print 9 and returns to a previous function call, next it prints 7 and returns to the very first function call finally it prints a 5 and completes the execution.



Q6.What will be the output of the given pseudocode?



Integer x, y, z, a
Set x = 2, y = 1, z = 5
a = (x AND y) OR (z + 1)
Print a


Options:

A) 5

B) 3

C) 2

D) 1


Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation: AND gate works when both the conditions are true so the first (x and y) condition will be taken as true as both the inputs are true. OR gate works when any of its conditions are true, where it has already got any one of its input as true so without further checking the other input it will directly assign the value as 1.


By this point you should be able to work up some solutions itself. Here are some practice questions based on pseudo code and concept of C language.



Q7.  Find the output of the following pseudo code




  1. 2 2 3 4
  2. 2 3 4 5
  3. 2 2 2 2
  4. None of the above


Answer: Option A



Q8.Find the output of the following pseudo code




  1. 129, a
  2. 97 , X
  3. 32, a
  4. 32, X


Answer: Option A

Q11. Each node of the graph is represented as a _______?

A) Vertex

B) Root

C) Path

D) Edge


Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation: Every node cannot be a root node and path; the edge is related to the directions of the graph.

Q13. Consider a source computer(S) which is transmitting a file of size 106 bits to a destination computer(D)over a network of two routers (R1 and R2) and three links(L1, L2, and L3). L1connects S to R1; L2 connects R1 to R2; and L3 connects R2 to D. Now, let each link be of length 100 km. Assume that the signals travel over each link at a speed of 108 meters per second. Also assume that the link bandwidth on each link is 1Mbps. Let the file be broken down into 1000 packets each of size 1000 bits. Hence, find the total sum of transmission and propagation delays in transmitting the file from S to D?




  1. 1005 ms
  2. 1010 ms
  3. 3000 ms
  4. 3003 ms



Answer: Option A


Explanation: 

The propagation delay to travel from S to R1 = (Distance) / (Link Speed) = 10^5/10^8 = 1ms;

Total propagation delay to travel from S to D = 3*1 ms = 3ms.


Total Transmission delay for 1 packet = 3 * (Number of Bits) / Bandwidth = 3*(1000/10^6) = 3ms.


The first packet will take 6ms to reach D. While the first packet was reaching D, the other packets must have been processing simultaneously. So D will receive remaining packets 1 packet per 1 ms from R2. So logically the remaining 999 packets will take 999 ms.

Thus, total time will be equal to 999 + 6 = 1005 ms




Q14.Which of the following IP addresses can be used as (a) loop-back addresses?



  1. 0.0.0.0
  2. 127.0.0.1
  3. 255.255.255.255
  4. 0.255.255.255


Answer: (b) 127.0.0.1


Explanation: A loopback address is a special IP address whose IP address is exclusively between 127.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.255. It is reserved for loopback. Note that it doesn't require a physical connection to a network.


Q15. Choose among the following which is related to services provided by the cloud



  1. Reliablity
  2. Sourcing
  3. Ownership
  4. AaaS


Answer: B Souring


Cloud sourcing is a typical arrangement in which a company pays a third-party cloud hosting provider to deliver and support IT services that could have been provided in-house.

Salesforce is a good example as their entire suit of CRM applications are offered via the cloud.


16. What does “elasticity” in cloud computing refers to?



  1. Ability to scale down
  2. Parallel
  3. Ability to scale up
  4. Both A and C are correct


Answer: Option D

Cloud Elasticity is the property of a cloud to grow or shrink capacity for CPU, memory, and storage resources to adapt to the changing demands of an organization.


What is scalability and elasticity?

Scalability is defined as the ability of the system to accommodate larger loads just by adding resources either making the hardware stronger (scale up) or adding some additional nodes (scale out). Elasticity is the ability to fit the resources needed to cope with loads dynamically usually in relation to scale out.



Q17. Paas Stands for?



  1. Platform as a Service
  2. Platform as a software
  3. Parallel as a Service
  4. None

Answer: Option A
