-> What is the advantage of Ring network ?
-> Compare it with ethernet.
-> What is inheritance, encapsulation etc.
-> If there are too many page faults what is the problem?
-> To ensure one pgm. doesnt corrupt other pgm. in a Multi-pgm. enviornment
what you should do?
-> Which one you will use to implement critical section? Binary Semaphore
-> Which one is not needed for Multi-pgm. enviornment?
options are: virtual memory,security,time sharing,none of the above.
-> Which one is not done by Data link layer ? bit stuffing, LRC,CRC,parity check
-> Which one is not related to Data link layer?
-> Which one is not suitable for client-server application? tcp/ip,message passing,rpc,none of the above.
-> Term stickily bit is related to a)kernel b)undeletable file c) d)none

b)tokenring
c)a&b
d)none
-> a node has the ip address 138.50.10.7 and 138.50.10.9.But it is
transmitting data from node1 to node2only. The reason may be
a)a node cannot have more than one address
b)class A should have second octet different
c)classB ” ” ” ” ”
d)a,b,c
-> the OSI layer from bottom to top
-> for an application which exceeds 64k the memory model should be
a)medium
b)huge
c)large
d)none
-> the condition required for dead lock in unix sustem is
-> set-user-id is related to (in unix)
-> bourne shell has
a)history record
b)
c)
d)
-> wrong statement about c++
a)code removably
b)encapsulation of data and code
c)program easy maintenance
d)program runs faster
-> which is true
a)bridge connects dissimiler LAN and protocol insensitive
b)router ” ” ” ” ”
c)gateway ” ” ” ” ”
d)none of the above
-> const char *
char * const
