Queues serve major role in ___________

Data Structures - Quiz(MCQ)

Simulation of recursion

Simulation of heap sort

Simulation of arbitrary linked list

Simulation of limited resource allocation

Correct Answer : Simulation of limited resource allocation

Explanation : Simulation of recursion uses stack data structure. Simulation of arbitrary linked lists uses linked lists. Simulation of resource allocation uses queue as first entered data needs to be given first priority during resource allocation. Simulation of heap sort uses heap data structure.

The five items: A, B, C, D, and E are pushed in a stack, one after other starting from A. The stack is popped four items and each element is inserted in a queue. The two elements are deleted from the queue and pushed back on the stack. Now one item is popped from the stack. The popped item is

Correct Answer : D

A three dimensional array in â€˜Câ€™ is declared as int A[x][y][z]. Consider that array elements are stored in row major order and indexing begins from 0. Here, the address of an item at the location A[p][q][r] can be computed as follows (where w is the word length of an integer):

&A[0][0][0] + w(x * y * p + z * q+ r)

&A[0][0][0] + w(y * z * q + z * p + r)

&A[0][0][0] + w(y * z * p + z*q + r)

&A[0][0][0] + w(x * y * q + z * p + r)

Correct Answer : &A[0][0][0] + w(y * z * p + z*q + r)

Explanation : According to above question we have to find the address of A[p][q][r] To reach pth row we must have to cross 0 to p-1 row i.e. p rows and each rows contains y∗z elements Hence , = y∗z∗p Now to reach qth element in pth row we have to cross q rows and each row contains z(total columns) elements =z∗q to reach rth elements we have to cross r elements in (p+1)th row Total elements to cross =(y∗z∗p+z∗q+r) Now each element occupies m amount of space in memory Therefore total space occupied by these elements = m(y∗z∗p+z∗q+r) Hence , address of A[p][q][r]=base address+ Space Occupied by the Elements Before it. =&A[0][0][0]+m(y*z*p+z*q+r) Hence Option (C) is correct.

A B-Tree used as an index for a large database table has four levels including the root node. If a new key is inserted in this index, then the maximum number of nodes that could be newly created in the process are
