 The data of the problem is of 2GB and the hard disk is of 1GB capacity, to solve this problem we should 


       ►  Use better data structures

       ► Increase the hard disk space

Question No: 3      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 

Consider the function X as under
 int X (int& Value)
{

       ► a = X (&b) ;

       ► a = X (*b) ; 

       ► None of the given options



Question No: 4      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one

       ► Non-linear data structure

       ► Graphical data structure

       ► Data structure like queue



Question No: 6      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 

When should you use a const reference parameter?

       ► Whenever the parameter has huge size.


       ► Whenever the parameter has huge size, the function changes the parameter within its body, and you do NOT want these changes to alter the actual argument.

       ► Whenever the parameter has huge size, the function changes the parameter within its body, and you DO want these changes to alter the actual argument.
       ► Whenever the parameter has huge size, and the function does not change the parameter within its body.



Question No: 7      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 

Here is the start of a C++ class declaration:
 
class foo
    {
    public:
      void x(foo f);
      void y(const foo f);
      void z(foo f) const;
      ...
 
Which of the three member functions can alter the PRIVATE member variables of the foo object that activates the function?



       ► Only x can alter the private member variables of the object that activates the function.

       ► Only y can alter the private member variables of the object that activates the function.


       ► Only z can alter the private member variables of the object that activates the function.

       ► Two of the functions can alter the private member variables of the object that activates the function.


Question No: 8      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 What is the maximum depth of recursive calls a function may make?


       ► 1

       ► 2

       ► n (where n is the argument)

       ► There is no fixed maximum





Question No: 9      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 Suppose n is the number of nodes in a complete Binary Tree then maximum steps required for a search operation are,


       ► Log2 (n+1) -1


       ► Log2 (n+1)


       ► Log2 (n) – 1


       ► Log2 (n)







Question No: 10      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 
In the linked list implementation of the stack class, where does the push member function places the new entry on the linked list?


       ► At the head


       ► At the tail


       ► After all other entries that are greater than the new entry.

       ► After all other entries that are smaller than the new entry.




Question No: 11      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 

Suppose we have a circular array implementation of the queue class, with ten items in the queue stored at data[2] through data[11]. The CAPACITY is 42, i.e., the array has been declared to be of size 42. Where does the push member function place the new entry in the array?


       ► data[1]

       ► data[2]

       ► data[11]

       ► data[12]



Question No: 12      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one

       ► Postfix expression

       ► Infix expression

       ► None of these




Question No: 13      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 

_________ is a binary tree where every node has a value, every node's left subtree contains only values less than or equal to the node's value, and every node's right subtree contains only values that are greater then or equal ?                                                                    

       ► Strictly Binary Tree

       ► Binary Search tree


       ► AVL tree


       ► All of these



Question No: 14      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 

Consider the following binary search tree (BST):
If node A in the BST is deleted, which two nodes are the candidates to take its place?


       ► J and I


       ► H and E


       ► D and E


       ► L and M




Question No: 15      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 
Let’s call the node as a that requires re-balancing. Consider the two cases given below:
 1) An insertion into left subtree of the left child of a
 2) An insertion into right subtree of the right child of a.

Which of the following statement is correct about these two cases. 

1) The insertion occurs outside (i.e., left-left or right-right) in cases 1 and 2. single rotation can fix the balance in these two cases. 
2) The insertion occurs inside ((i.e., left-left or right-right) in cases 1 and 2. single rotation cannot fix the balance in these two cases 



Question No: 16      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 

We access elements in AVL Tree in,


       ► Linear way only


       ► Non Linear way only


       ► Both linear and non linear ways
