Q:15 With respect to CRT, the horizontal retrace is defined as:

(A) The path an electron beam takes when returning to the left side of the CRT.

(B) The path an electron beam takes when returning to the right side of the CRT.

(C) The technique of turning the electron beam off while retracing.

(D) The technique of turning the electron beam on/off while retracing.


Answer: (A)

Explanation: In computer graphics Horizontal Retrace is defined as: The path an electron beam takes when returning to the left side of the CRT.

The scanning process sweeps the beam from left to right across the screen. At the end of the scanline the beam is moved to the start of the next (horizontal retrace). After the last scanline the beam is returned to the start position. (Vertical retrace).

So, option (A) is correct.

is guaranteed to be same as R1 provided one of the following condition is satisfied.
(A) R1 has no duplicates and R2 is empty.
(B) R1 has no duplicates and R2 is non – empty.
(C) Both R1 and R2 have no duplicates.
(D) R2 has no duplicates and R1 is non – empty.


Answer: (B)

Explanation: Select A,B
From R1, R2 :
In this query first we will take Cartesian product of R1, R2 (R2 must be non empty)for this 0- R2 then select distinct A,B from Cartesian product of R1, R2 (for A,B being distinct there should not any duplicate A,B).
And
Select A,B
From R2
For this query A,B → No duplicate A,B.
By combining condition for both query we will get the right condition.

Q:10 Consider a relation R (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H), where each attribute is atomic, and following functional dependencies exist.

CH → G
A → BC
B → CFH
E → A
F → EG

The relation R is __________ .
(A) in 1NF but not in 2NF
(B) in 2NF but not in 3NF
(C) in 3NF but not in BCNF
(D) in BCNF


Answer: (A)

Explanation: If we find closure of A:

A+ → All atribute except D.
Similarly for other keys we can find closure, but D can’t be derived from any key and it must be added to all keys to be derived from. That’s why this relation is in 1NF, since there is partial dependency so, this relation is not in 2NF.
So, option (A) is correct.

GATE 2016 SET-2 Q:32

Topic: DBMS

Q: 8 Suppose a database schedule S involves transactions T1, T2, ………….,Tn. Consider the precedence graph of S with vertices representing the transactions and edges representing the conflicts. If S is serializable, which one of the following orderings of the vertices of the precedence graph is guaranteed to yield a serial schedule ?

(A) Topological order
(B) Depth – first order
(C) Breadth – first order
(D) Ascending order of transaction indices


Answer: (A)

Explanation: For a schedule, we can check its serializability by drawing a precedence graph and find its topological order, precedence graph of schedule must not contain any cycle to be conflict free.

Cycle in precedence graph tells that schedule is not conflict serializable. DFS and BFS traversal of graph are possible even if graph contains cycle. And hence DFS and BFS are also possible for non serializable graphs. But Topological sort of any cyclic graph is not possible. Thus topological sort guarantees graph to be serializable . Option D is not valid because in a transaction with more indices might have to come before lower one. Also two non- conflicting schedule can occur simultaneously.

So, option (A) is correct.

UGC-NET JULY 2016 PAPER 1 SET-A QUESTIONS WITH EXPLANATION



Read the following passage carefully and answer question numbers from 11 to 16 :
In terms of labour, for decades the relatively low cost and high quality of Japanese workers
conferred considerable competitive advantage across numerous durable goods and consumerelectronics
industries (eg. Machinery, automobiles, televisions, radios). Then labour-based
advantages shifted to South Korea, then to Malaysia, Mexico and other nations. Today, China
appears to be capitalizing best on the basis of labour. Japanese firms still remain competitive in
markets for such durable goods, electronics and other products, but the labour force is no longer
sufficient for competitive advantage over manufacturers in other industrializing nations. Such
shifting of labour-based advantage is clearly not limited to manufacturing industries. Today, a huge
number of IT and service jobs are moving from Europe and North America to India, Singapore, and
like countries with relatively well-educated, low-cost workforces possessing technical skills.
However, as educational levels and technical skills continue to rise in other countries, India,
Singapore, and like nations enjoying labour-based competitive advantage today are likely to find
such advantage cannot be sustained through emergence of new competitors.
In terms of capital, for centuries the days of gold coins and later even paper money restricted
financial flows. Subsequently regional concentrations were formed where large banks, industries
and markets coalesced. But today capital flows internationally at rapid speed. Global commerce no
longer requires regional interactions among business players. Regional capital concentrations in
places such as New York, London and Tokyo still persist, of course, but the capital concentrated
there is no longer sufficient for competitive advantage over other capitalists distributed worldwide.
Only if an organization is able to combine, integrate and apply its resources (eg. Land, labour,
capital, IT) in an effective manner that is not readily imitable by competitors can such an
organization enjoy competitive advantage sustainable overtime.
In a knowledge-based theory of the firm, this idea is extended to view organizational knowledge as
a resource with atleast the same level of power and importance as the traditional economic inputs.
An organization with superior knowledge can achieve competitive advantage in markets that
appreciate the application of such knowledge. Semiconductors, genetic engineering,
pharmaceuticals, software, military warfare, and like knowledge-intensive competitive arenas
provide both time-proven and current examples. Consider semiconductors (e.g. computer chips),
which are made principally of sand and common metals. These ubiquitous and powerful electronic
devices are designed within common office buildings, using commercially available tools, and
fabricated within factories in many industrialized nations. Hence, land is not the key competitive
resource in the semiconductor industry.
Based on the passage answer the following questions :



Q:: 11 Which country enjoyed competitive advantages in automobile industry for decades ?

(1) South Korea                                (2) Japan
(3) Mexico                                        (4) Malaysia

Answer:: (2)

Q:: 12 Why labour-based competitive advantages of India and Singapore cannot be sustained in IT and service sectors ?

(1) Due to diminishing levels of skill.

(2) Due to capital-intensive technology making inroads.

(3) Because of new competitors.

(4) Because of shifting of labour-based advantage in manufacturing industries.

Answer:: (3)

Q:: 13 How can an organisation enjoy competitive advantage sustainable overtime ?

(1) Through regional capital flows.

(2) Through regional interactions among business players.

(3) By making large banks, industries and markets coalesced.

(4) By effective use of various instrumentalities.

Answer:: (4)

Q:: 14 What is required to ensure competitive advantages in specific markets ?

(1) Access to capital                                 (2) Common office buildings

(3) Superior knowledge                            (4) Common metals

Answer:: (3)

(1) Global financial flow

(2) Absence of competition in manufacturing industry

(3) Regionalisation of capitalists

(4) Organizational incompatibility

Answer:: (1)

Q:: 16 What does the author lay stress on in the passage ?
