(a) b(b*+a*b) (b) a*b(b*+aa*b)* Answer: (B) (6) (1) Every context-sensitive language is recursive (2) There exist recursive languages that are not context-sensitive which of the following are correct statements (a) (1) only (b) (2) only (c) Both (1) and (2) (d) Neither (1) nor (2) Answer: (C) Explanation: Every regular language is context-free, every context-free language is context-sensitive and every context-sensitive language is recursive and every recursive language is recursively enumerable. These are all proper inclusions, meaning that there exist recursively enumerable languages which are not recursive, recursive languages that are not context-sensitive, context-sensitive languages which are not context-free and contextfree languages which are not regular. (7) One Question on the closure properties of Recursively enumarable languages, Recursive languages and context free languages

Closure properties
Recursively enumerable languages are closed under the following operations. That is,
if L and P are two recursively enumerable languages, then the following languages are recursively enumerable as well: the Kleene star of L

the concatenation the union the intersection

of L and P

Note that recursively enumerable languages are not closed under set difference or complementation. The set difference L - P may or may not be recursively enumerable. If L is recursively enumerable, then the complement of L is recursively enumerable if and only if L is also recursive.

Recursive languages are closed under the following operations. That is, if L and P are two recursive
languages, then the following languages are recursive as well: The Kleene star The image (L) under an e-free homomorphism The concatenation The union The intersection The complement of The set difference

The last property follows from the fact that the set difference can be expressed in terms of intersection and complement.

Closure properties
Context-free languages are closed under the following operations. That is, if L and P are context-free
languages, the following languages are context-free as well: the union the reversal of L the concatenation the Kleene star the image the image of L and P of L and P of L of L under a homomorphism of L under an inverse homomorphism )

the cyclic shift of L (the language

Context-free languages are not closed under complement, intersection, or difference. However, if L is a context-free language and D is a regular language then both their intersection and their difference are context-free languages. [edit]Nonclosure under intersection languages

and complement
and , which are , which can be shown to be

The context-free languages are not closed under intersection. This can be seen by taking the both context-free. Their intersection is non-context-free by the pumping lemma for context-free languages.

Context-free languages are also not closed under complementation, as for any languages A and B: .

Closure properties
The regular languages are closed under the various operations, that is, if the languages K and L are regular, so is the result of the following operations: the set theoretic Boolean operations: union From this also difference follows. , intersection , and complement .

the regular operations: union , concatenation , and Kleene star . the trio operations: string homomorphism, inverse string homomorphism, and intersection with regular languages. As a consequence they are closed under arbitrary finite state transductions, like quotient with a regular language. Even more, regular languages are closed under quotients with arbitrary languages: If L is regular then L/K is regular for any K. the reverse (or mirror image) .

It is often advised to focus system design on hardware scalability rather than on capacity. It is typically cheaper to add a new node to a system in order to achieve improved performance than to partake in performance tuning to improve the capacity that each node can handle. But this approach can have diminishing returns (as discussed in performance engineering). For example: suppose 70% of a program can be sped up if parallelized and run on multiple CPUs instead of one. If is the fraction of a calculation that is sequential, and is the fraction that can be parallelized, the maximum speedup that can be achieved by using P processors is given according

to Amdahl's Law:

. Substituting the value for this example, using 4 processors we

get

. If we double the compute power to 8 processors we

get . Doubling the processing power has only improved the speedup by roughly one-fifth. If the whole problem was parallelizable, we would, of course, expect the speed up to double also. Therefore, throwing in more hardware is not necessarily the optimal approach.

(71) Question on COSETS (72) How many relations are there on a set with n elements that are symmetric and How many relations are there on a set with n elements that are reflexive and symmetric ? Solution: Let R be the set with n elements. Then RxR has n^2 elements in it, and the relationson R correspond exactly to the subsets of RxR, giving us 2^(n^2) relations in general. If the relation is symmetric, we can think of it slightly differently. Let P2(R) be all subsets of R with 2 elements, and P1(R) be all the subsets of R with a single element. Then all symmetric relations will correspond exactly to the subsets of P2(R) U P1(R). Notice that P2(R) is exactly like RxR, except the pairs aren't ordered, and it only considers pairs with distinct x and y (the pairs where they aren't distinct are covered by P1(R)). How many elements does P2(R) have in it? Well, we are looking for all pairs of the form: {x, y} where x and y are distinct and in R. They correspond to an unordered selection of 2 objects from n objects, giving us:

n C 2 = (1/2)n(n - 1) How many elements of P1(R) are there? Well, clearly, there will be n elements. So, the total number of elements in P2(R) U P1(R) will be: (1/2)n(n - 1) + n = (1/2)n[(n - 1) + 2] = (1/2)n(n + 1) And, we want the number of subsets of this, so we get: 2^[(1/2)n(n + 1)] As for all relations that are antisymmetric, that's a bit more tricky. I'll have to think about that one. The relations that are neither reflexive nor irreflexive are not too difficult to count. Assuming that n > 0, it's impossible for a relation to be simultaneously reflexive and irreflexive, so if we count the number of reflexive relations, and the number of irreflexive relations, then we will not have counted the same relation twice, and we can just subtract this number from 2^(n^2). In both the reflexive and irreflexive cases, essentially membership in the relation is decided for all pairs of the form {x, x}. This leaves n^2 - n pairs to decide, giving us, in each case: 2^(n^2 - n) choices of relation. That is the number of reflexive relations, and also the number of irreflexive relations. The number of relations that are either reflexive or irreflexive will be the sum: 2^(n^2 - n) + 2^(n^2 - n) = 2^(n^2 - n + 1) If we subtract this from the total number of relations, 2^(n^2), then we get the number of relations that are neither reflexive or irreflexive: 2^(n^2) - 2^(n^2 - n + 1) Hope that helps! EDIT: (Fixed a small mistake previously) OK, I've just thought of a way to deal with the antisymmetric case. Again, we will consider P2(R) U P1(R). We can choose freely which pairs of the form (x, x) we want in our relation, so we can choose freely our subset of P1(R), giving us 2^n

possible contributions from P1(R). As for our contribution from P2(R), for each {x, y} pair in P2(R), we must have exactly one of the following three possibilities: 1) Neither (x, y) nor (y, x) is in our relation. 2) Only (x, y) is in our relation. 3) Only (y, x) is in our relation. Each choice for each {x, y} can be made independently of the other choices chosen previously. Also, making two distinct choices will result in two distinct relations, i.e. we are not counting anything twice. Therefore, the number of contributions from P2(R) will be: 3^(n C 2) = 3^[(1/2)n(n - 1)] The contributions of P2(R) and P1(R) are independent, so the total number of antisymmetric relations will be: 2^n * 3^[(1/2)n(n - 1)] (73) Which data structure is used when you do the post order traversal answer: stack (74) what would be the top of elements in stack when u do post order traversal 23^8/23* Answeer: 6,1 (75) which class of network provides multicasting Answer: class D (76) ICMP protocol presents in -----Answer: network layer

(1)

xy Q(x,y)

(2) xy Q(x,y)
which of the statements are true Explanation: Compare these two sentences: "For all x, there exists at least one y such that Q(x,y)" and "there is at least one y such that, for all x, Q(x,y)". Here Q(x,y) is some sentence about x and y, such as "x+y=0". The first of these means that for all x, there is a y WHICH IS ALLOWED TO VARY WITH EACH x which makes Q(x,y) true. So, for example, "for all x, there exists at least one y such that x+y=0" is true because y=-x makes it true.

that means xy Q(x,y) is true

The sentence "there is at least one x such that, for all y, Q(x,y)" means that there exists one x which does the job for all y of making Q(x,y) true. This is a much tougher statement to make true! Notice that "there is at least one x such that, for all y, x+y=0" is false for the real numbers---there x has to be -y and must vary with y which this sentence does not allow.

that means xy Q(x,y) is false

(89) Consider unsigned integer representation. How many bits will be required to store a
decimal number containing 3 digits
Answer: 10 bits

Explanation:

we have to find the lowest power of 2 that is higher than that range. For instance, 3 decimal digits -> 10^3 = 1000 possible numbers so you have to find the lowest power of 2 that is higher than 1000, which in this case is 2^10 = 1024 (10 bits).
