    In C++ program, what it is the output of the given block of code?

    float ary[] = {3.2, 5.3, 6, 13.1, 19.0};

    cout<<(*(ary + 3));
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : A
    • * is a dereferencing operator and *ary will give the value of the first integer in the array
    • ary points to the first integer of the array and (ary + 3) points to the 4th integer of the array and *(ary + 3) will print the value of 4th element of the array, that is, 13.1

     

    Output: 13.1

  • 2. The observation that a bubbled input OR Gate is interchangable with bubbled output AND Gate is referred as
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : B

    De Morgan’s first theorem:

    According to De Morgan’s first theorem, a bubbled input OR Gate (NOR) gate is equivalent to a bubbled output AND gate.

    The Boolean expressions for the bubbled AND gate can be expressed by the equation shown below.

    \(\overline {A + B} = \bar A.\bar B\)

    De Morgan’s second theorem:

    According to De Morgan’s first theorem, a bubbled AND (NAND) gate is equivalent to a bubbled OR gate.

    The Boolean expressions for the bubbled OR gate can be expressed by the equation shown below.

    \(\overline {A.B} = \bar A + \bar B\)

  • 3. A greengrocer pushed his cart southwards, then turned right and moved 2 km and again turned right and went 3 km further. He found himself exactly 2 km west of his starting point. How far did he pushed his cart southwards initially?
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : B

    According to the question, end point is exactly west of starting point and the distance between the starting and the end point is 2 km. Therefore, he definitely pushed his cart 3 km southwards initially.

    Drawing the diagram as per the given information is as:-

    From the figure,

    Initially, he pushed the cart 3 km southwards.

    Hence, the correct answer is "3 Km".

  • 4. In which type of extrinsic semiconductor are electrons the major charge carriers?
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : A

    CONCEPT:

    • Semiconductor: The material which is not a good conductor or a good insulator is called a semiconductor.
      • For example: Silicon, Germanium, etc
    • Intrinsic semiconductor: The pure form of semiconductor is called an intrinsic semiconductor.
    • Extrinsic semiconductor: The impurity atoms added are called dopants and semiconductors doped with the impurity atoms are called extrinsic or doped semiconductors.
      • P-type semiconductor: The semiconductor having holes as majority charge carriers and electrons as a minority charge carrier is called as P-type semiconductor.

      • N-type semiconductor: The semiconductor having electrons as majority charge carriers and holes as a minority charge carrier is called as N-type semiconductor.

    EXPLANATION:

    • From the above discussion, we can say that electrons are the major charge carriers in n-type semiconductors.

    • Elements of Group 5 have five valence electrons, i.e. 1 extra from the Group 4 elements.
    • 4 out of 5 electrons get bonded with the neighboring Silicon atoms and 1 electron per atom remains extra with the Group 5 elements.
  • 5. Which of the following is/are the rules to declare variables in Java?
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : B

    The variable is the basic unit of storage in a Java program. A variable is defined by the combination of an identifier, a type, and an optional initializer.

    Variable names cannot be keyword, it is case- sensitive and the first character must be a letter.

    In Java, all variables must be declared before they can be used. The basic form of a variable declaration is:

    type identifier [ = value ][, identifier [= value ] …];

    Examples:

    int a, b;

    int a = 10, b = 20, c = 30;

    int a, b = 20, c;

    Confusion point

    In Java, variable name can also start with underscore character “_”, or a dollar sign “$”.
