1. Consider a sequence F00 defined as:
Then what shall be the set of values of the sequence F00?
(1) (1, 110, 1200)
(2) (1, 110, 600, 1200)
(3) (1, 2, 55, 110, 600, 1200)
(4) (1, 55, 110, 600, 1200)
Answer: 1
Explanation:
We have given, F00(0) = 1, F00(1) = 1
F00(2) = (10*F00(1) + 100)/F00(0) = 110
F00(3) = (10*F00(2) + 100)/F00(1) = 1200
F00(4) = (10*F00(3) + 100)/F00(2) = 110
Since the values repeats after the first three values, the set of values of F00 will be (1,110,1200).

3. The functions mapping R into R are defined as:
f(x) = x3-4x, g(x)=1/(x2+1) and h(x)=x4
Then find the value of the following composite functions:
hog(x) and hogof(x)
(1) (x2+1)4 and [(x3-4x)2+1]4
(2) (x2+1)4 and [(x3-4x)2+1]- 4
(3) (x2+1)- 4 and [(x3-4x)2+1]4
(4) (x2+1)‑ 4 and [(x3-4x)2+1]- 4
Answer: 4
Explanation:
hog(x) = h(1/(x2+1))
= [(1/(x2+1))]4 = (x2+1)- 4
hogof(x) = hog(x3-4x)
= hog(x3-4x)
= [(x3-4x)2+1]- 4 [since hog(x) = (x2+1)- 4]
4. How many multiples of 6 are there between the following pairs of numbers?
0 and 100 and -6 and 34
(1) 16 and 6
(2) 17 and 6
(3) 17 and 7
(4) 16 and 7
Answer: 3
Explanation:
Number of multiples of 6 between 1 and 100 = 100/6 = 16
Since the range starts from zero, we need to take zero too. [zero is a multiple of every integer (except zero itself)].
So, answer = 16+1 = 17
Number of multiples of 6 between 1 and 34 = 34/6 = 5
Since the range is -6 to 34, we need to take -6 and zero.
So, answer = 5+2 = 7
5. Consider a Hamiltonian Graph G with no loops or parallel edges and with |V(G)|=n≥3. Then which of the following is true?
(1) deg(v) ≥ n/2 for each vertex v.
(2) |E(G)| ≥ 1/2(n-1)(n-2)+2
(3) deg(v)+deg(w) ≥ n whenever v and w are not connected by an edge.
(4) All of the above
Answer: 4
Explanation:
Dirac's theorem: A simple graph with n vertices (n ≥ 3) is Hamiltonian if every vertex
has degree n/2 or greater.
Ore's theorem: deg(v) + deg(w) ≥ n for every pair of distinct non-adjacent vertices v
and w of G (*), then G is Hamiltonian.

7. ECL is the fastest of all logic families. High Speed in ECL is possible because transistors are used in difference amplifier configuration, in which they are never driven into ...............
(1) Race condition
(2) Saturation
(3) Delay
(4) High impedance
Answer: 2
Explanation:
Emitter-coupled logic (ECL) is the fastest of all logic families and therefore is used in
applications where very high speed is essential. High speeds have become possible in
ECL because the transistors are used in difference amplifier configuration, in which
they are never driven into saturation and thereby the storage time is eliminated.

(2) 0.2096
(3) 0.52
(4) 0.4192
Answer: 1

10. The hexadecimal equivalent of the octal number 2357 is:
(1) 2EE
(2) 2FF
(3) 4EF
(4) 4FE
Answer: 3
Explanation:

= 010 011 101 111
Now we can regroup the bits into groups of 4 and convert to hexadecimal.
= 0100 1110 1111
= 4EF
