Q 01 Consider a hard disk with 16 recording surfaces(0­15)having 16384 cylinders (0­16383)and each
cylinder cont ains 64 sectors (0­63). Data storage capacity in each sector is 512 bytes.
Data are organized cylinder–wise and the addressing format is . A fi le of
size 42797 KB is stored in the diskand the starting disk location of th e file is <1200, 9, 40>. What
is the cylinder number of the last sector of the file, if it is stored in a contiguous us manner?

(A) 1281
(B) 1282
(C) 1283
(D) 1284

Ans: (D)


Q 02 Consider er the following sequence of micro–operations

MBR­PC
MAR­X
PC­Y
Memory­MBR


Q 03 Which one of the following is a possible operation performed by this sequence?

(A) Instruction fetch
(B) Operand fetch
(C) Conditional branch
(D) Initiation of interrupt service

Ans: (D)

Exp: PC content is stored i n memory y via MBR and PC gets new address from Y. It represents a
function call (routine), which is matching with interrupt service initiation

Q 04 The line graph L(G) of a simple graph G is defined as follows:

•There is exactly one vertex v(e) in L(G) for each edge e in G.
•For any two edges e and e in G, L(G) has an edge between v(e) and v(e ), if and only i f e and e are
incident with the same vertex in G.Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

(P) The line graph of a cycle is a cycle.
(Q) The line graph of a clique is a clique.
(R) The line graph of a planar graph is planar.
(S) The line graph of a tree is a tree.
(A) P only (B) P and R only (C) R only
(D) P, Q and S only

Ans: (B)

5 Suppose the instruction set architecture of the processor has only two registers. The only allowed
compiler optimization is code motion, which moves statements from one place to another while
preserving correctness. What is the minimum number of spills to memory in the compiled code?


(A) 0
(B) 1
(C) 2
(D) 3

Ans: (C)


6 What is the minimum number of registers needed in the instruction set architecture of the
processor to compile this code segment without any spill to memory? Do not apply any optimization
other than optimizing register allocation


(A) 3
(B) 4
(C) 5
(D) 6

Ans: (B)
