COMPUTER SCIENCE (PAPER 1: THEORY)

(Maximum Marks: 70)
(Time allowed: Three hours)

(Candidates are allowed additional 15 mins for only reading the paper. They must NOT start writing during this time.)

Answer all questions in Part I (compulsory) and six questions from Part-II, choosing two questions from Section-A, two from Section-B and two from Section-C . All working, including rough work, should be done on the same sheet as the rest of the answer. The intended marks for questions or parts of questions are given in brackets [ ].

PART I (20 Marks)

Answer all questions.
While answering questions in this Part, indicate briefly your working and reasoning, wherever required.

1(a) State the law represented by the following proposition and prove it with the help of a truth table: P V P = P [1]
Law : Idempotent Law. It states that P v P = P.

P   P   P V P
0   0     0
1   1     1

(b) State the Principle of Duality. [1]
Principle of Duality states that, to every Boolean Equation there exists another equation which is dual to the original equation. To achieve this, the AND’s (.) are converted to OR’s (+) and vice-versa, 0’s to l’s and vice versa, however, the complements remain unchanged.

(c) Find the complement of the following Boolean expression using De Morgan’s law: F(a, b, c) = (b’ + c) + a [1]
Complement of : F(a, b, c ) =(b’ + c ) + a
= (b’ + c)’ . a’
= b”. c’. a’ = b.c’.a’

(d) Draw the logic diagram and truth table for a 2 input XNOR gate. [1]

A    B      X
0    0      1
0    1      0
1    0      0
1    1      1

(e) If (P’ => Q) then write its: [1]
a. Inverse : ( P => Q) OR P’ + Q’
b. Converse : ( Q => P) OR Q’ + P’

2(a) What is an interface? How is it different from a class? [2]
(a) Interface is a non primitive data type which has static and final data members and prototype of functions ( i.e. functions are not defined )
Difference between Interface and Class : Interface supports multiple inheritance whereas a Class does not support multiple Inheritance.

(b) Convert the following infix expression to postfix form: P * Q / R + (S + T) [2]

(b) Infix to postfix : 
    P*Q/R+(S+T)
  = P*Q/R+ ST+
  = PQ* /R + ST+
  = PQ*R/ + ST+
  = PQ*R/ST++

(c) A matrix P[15][10] is stored with each element requiring 8 bytes of storage. If the base address at P[0][0] is 1400, determine the address at P[10][7] when the matrix is stored in Row Major Wise. [2]
(c) Row Major Wise: P[i][j] = BA + W [ (i — lr )* column + (j — lc]
= 1400 + 8[ (10-0)*10 + (7-0)]
= 1400 + 856
P[10][7] = 2256

(d) (i) What is the worst case complexity of the following code segment: [2]




for (int x = 1; x <= a; x++) {
    statements;
}
for (int y = 1; y <= b; y++) {
    for (int z = 1; z <= c; z++) {
        statements;
    }
}


= O(a) + O(b x c)
= O(a + bc)

(ii) How would the complexity change if all the three loops went to N instead of a, b and c?
= O(N) + O(N2)
= O(N2), taking the dominant term.

(e) Differentiate between a constructor and a method of a class. [2]
(e) Constructor has the same name of the class where as a method has a different name. There is no returning type, not even void in constructor where as in a method it can return a value

3. The following function magicfun() is a part of some class. What will the function magicfun() return, when the value of n=7 and n=10, respectively? Show the dry run/working: [5]




int magicfun(int n)
{
    if (n = = 0)
        return 0;
    else
        return magicfun(n / 2) * 10 + (n % 2);
}


(i) when n = 7

OUTPUT : magicfun(7)
            magicfun(3) * 10 + 1
               magicfun(1) *10 + 1
                  magic fun(0) *10 + 1  = 111

(ii) when n = 10

OUTPUT : magicfun(10)
           magicfun(5) * 10 + 0
               magicfun(2) *10 + 1
                  magicfun(1) *10 + 0
                     magicfun(0) *10 + 1  = 1010

PART – II (50 Marks)

Answer six questions, choosing two questions from Section A, two from Section B and two from Section C.

SECTION – A (Answer any two questions)

4(a) Given the Boolean function F(A, B, C, D) = R (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11).
(i) Reduce the above expression by using 4-variable Karnaugh map, showing the various groups (i.e. octal, quads and pairs). [4]

Quad 1: (M2+ M3+ M10, M11 ) = B’C
Quad 2: (M4, M5, M6, M7 ) = A’B
Quad 3: (M8, M10) = AB’D’
Hence F(A, B, C, D) = B’C + A’B + AB’D’

(ii) Draw the logic gate diagram for the reduced expression. Assume that the variables and their complements are available as inputs. [1]
(b) Given the Boolean function F(P, Q, R, S) = R (0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10).

Quad 1 : (M0, M1, M4, M5) = Q + S
Quad 2 : (M0, M2, M4, M6) = P + S
Quad 3 : (M0, M2, M8, M10) = P + R
Hence F(P, Q, R, S) = (P + R) . (P + S) . (Q + S)

(i) Reduce the above expression by using 4-variable Karnaugh map, showing the various groups (i.e. octal, quads and pairs). [4]
(ii) Draw the logic gate diagram for the reduced expression. Assume that the variables and their complements are available as inputs. [1]

A   B    C   D    X (OUTPUT)
0   0    0   0    0
0   0    0   1    0
0   0    1   0    0
0   0    1   1    1
0   1    0   0    0
0   1    0   1    1
0   1    1   0    0
0   1    1   1    1
1   0    0   0    0
1   0    0   1    0
1   0    1   0    0
1   0    1   1    1
1   1    0   0    1

(b) State the application of a Half Adder. Draw the truth table and circuit diagram for a Half Adder. [3]
Application of Half Adder is to perform partial addition of two bits.
Truth table of Half Adder :

A   B    Sum  CARRY
0   0    0      0
0   1    1      0
1   0    1      0
1   1    0      1

(c) Convert the following Boolean expression into its canonical POS form: F(A, B, C) = ( B + C’) · (A’ + B) [2]

Convert to Canonical form: F(A, B, C)
= (B + C’).(A’+ B)
= (B + C’+ 0) . (A’+ B + O)
= (B+C’+(A.A’)).(A’+B+(C.C’)) [xx’=0]
= (A+B+C’).(A’+B+C’).(A’+B+C)

6(a) What is a Multiplexer? How is it different from a decoder? Draw the circuit diagram for a 8:1 Multiplexer. [5]
(a) A Multiplexer is a combinational circuit which inputs parallel data and outputs one serial data where as, a Decoder is a combinational circuit which inputs n lines and outputs 2n or fewer lines.
Circuit diagram of a 8:1 Multiplexer :

(b) Prove the Boolean expression using Boolean laws. Also, mention the law used at each step. F = (x’ + z) + [ (y’ + z) • (x’ + y) ]’ = 1 [3]
F = (x’+z) + [ (y’+z).(x’+y) ] = 1
= (x’+z) + (y’+z)’ + (x’+y)’ (De Morgan Law)
= x’+z + y.z’ + xy’
= (x’+x)(x’+y’) + (z+z’)(z+y) = x’+y’+z+y (Distributive Law)
= 1 (as y+y’=1)(Identity Law)

(c) Define maxterms and minterms. Find the maxterm and minterm when: P = 0, Q = 1, R = 1 and S = 0 [2]
Maxterm : It is the sum of all its literals.
Minterms : It is the product of all its literals.
When P=0, Q=1, R=1, S=0
Maxterm = P + Q’ + R’ + S
Minterms = P’ Q R S’

SECTION – B

SECTION – C
Answer any two questions.

Each program should be written in such a way that it clearly depicts the logic of the problem
step wise. This can be achieved by using comments in the program and mnemonic names or pseudo codes for algorithms. The programs must be written in Java and the algorithms must be written in general / standard form, wherever required / specified. (Flowcharts are not required.)

10.A super class Product has been defined to store the details of a product sold by a wholesaler to a retailer. Define a sub class Sales to compute the total amount paid by the retailer with or without fine along with service tax. [5]
Some of the members of both the classes are given below:
