5.

Fill up the missing digit. If (128)a = (450)b then (16)a = (  )10

Answer»

L.H.S. contains 2 & 8, so a 2 and a ≠ 8. 

R.H.S. contains 4 and 5, so b ≠ 2. 

L.H.S. < R.H.S. so a > b and a ≠ b also.

The possible values of a and b are given below.

abReason
108 onlya>b and a ≠ b
168 or 10a>b and a ≠ b

Case I: 

a = 16 and b = 8 

(128)16 = (296)10 

(450)8 = (296)10 

So, a = 16 and b = 8. 

Then (16) = 1 × 16 + 6 × 160 = (22)10

= 8 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 0.25 + 0 + 0.0625 + 0.03125 

= (14.34375)10

13.

Base of Hexadecimal system is _______.1. 22. 103. 164. 32

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 16

The correct answer is 16.

  • Being a Base-16 system, the hexadecimal numbering system, therefore, uses 16 (sixteen) different digits with a combination of numbers from 0 through to 15.
  • In other words, there are 16 possible digit symbols. 
  • However, there is a potential problem with using this method of digit notation caused by the fact that the decimal numerals of 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are normally written using two adjacent symbols.
  • For example, if we write 10 in hexadecimal, do we mean the decimal number ten, or the binary number of two (1 + 0). 


  • The base of some other important decimal numbers:
    • Octal number - 8
    • Decimal number - 10
    • Binary number - 2

Mr. Geo purchased (10)2 kg sugar @Rs. (110 10)2 and (1010)2 kg Rice @Rs. (10100)2 . So how much rupees he has to pay in decimal.

Answer»

Convert each into decimal number system multiply and sum it up. 

(10)2 = (2)10 

(11010)= 1 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0×21 

= 16 +8 + 0 +2 + 0 

= (26)10 

(1010)2 = 1 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 +0 × 20 

= 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 

= (10)2 

(10100)2 = 1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 1 × 22 +0 × 21 + 0×20 

= 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 0 

= (20)2 

therfore 2 × 26 + 10 × 20 

= 52 + 200 

= 252 

So Mr. Geo has to pay Rs. 252/-

Explain different types of constructors.

Answer»

There are three types of constructors.

  1. Namely Default constructor.
  2. Parameterized constructor.
  3. Copy constructor.

1. Default Constructor:
A constructor which does not take any arguments is called a zero argument constructor. It is also called zero-argument constructor.

Features of default constructor are:

  • All objects of a class are initialized to same set of values
  • These constructors has no arguments
  • These constructors are automatically called when every object is created.

The disadvantages of default constructor are:

  • Different objects cannot be initialized with different values.
  • Declaring a constructor with arguments hides default constructor.

2. parameterized constructor:
A constructor that takes one or more arguments is called a parameterized constructor.

The features of parameterized constructors are :

  • parameterized constructors can be overloaded
  • parameterized constructors can have default arguments and default values.

The different methods through which constructors can be invoked are implicit call and explicit call and using operator.

a. Explicit call:
It is a method of invoking a function where the declaration of object is followed by assignment operator followed by a constructor followed by argument list enclosed within parentheses.

b. Implicit Call:
It means the declarationof the object is followed by argument list enclosed in parentheses used with constructors The is used for the parameterized constructor which has exactly one argument.

3. Copy Constructor:
It is a parameterized constructor using which one object can be copied into another object. The copy constructor takes an object as argument and is used to copy values of data members of one object into other object.

Answer»

The data manipulation commands are used for retrieval (view) of data, insertion of new data, modification of data or deletion. The DML commands include insert, delete and update.

1. INSERT command :
It is used to inserts new rows into the table.
Syntax:
INSERT INTO tablename (columnname1, columnname2,…) VALUES (value1, , value2, ..);
Example:
INSERT INTO student (Regno, name, Combn, fees) VALUES (1234, ‘Hemanth’, ‘PCMCs’,15000);

2. UPDATE command:
It can be used to change row values from a table. The SET keyword takes the column in which values need to be changed or updated. The WHERE keyword is used to filter the records in some conditions.
Syntax :
UPDATE tablename SET columnname = values WHERE Condition; Example: UPDATE student SET combn = ‘PCMCs’ where combn=’pcmc’;

3. DELETE Command :
It is used to delete/remove the tuples/rows from the table. All the rows will be deleted if WHERE clause is not used in the statement otherwise it selects the rows for delete which satisfies the condition.
Syntax:
DELETE from tablename WHERE Condition;
Example:
DELETE from student;
DELETE from student WHERE regno=1234;

Find the largest number in the list. 1. (1001)2 2. (A)16 3. (10)8 4. (11)10

Answer»

Convert all numbers into decimal 

1. (1001)2 = 1 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 20 

= 8 + 0 + 0 + 1 

= (9)10

2. (A)16 = (10)10 

3. (10) = 1 × 81 +0 × 80 

= (8)10 

So the largest number is 4 . (11)10
