42. Java uses threads to enable the entire environment to be ______.

  • Option : D
  • Explanation :
    Java uses threads to enable the entire environment to be asynchronous. Asynchronous threading is pre-emptive i.e. a thread once start executing a task it can hold it in mid, save the current state and start executing another task (context switching) according to priority and other specified criteria and threading. So, option (D) is correct.

43. An Operating System (OS) crashes on the average once in 30 days, that is, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) = 30 days. When this happens, it takes 10 minutes to recover the OS, that is, the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) = 10 minutes. The availability of the OS with these reliability figures is approximately :

  • Option : D
  • Explanation : System crashes once in 30 days and need 10 minutes to get repaired. Either convert 30 days into minute or 10 minute into days 30 days = 30 ∗ 24 ∗ 60 minute fraction of time system is not available = (10 / (30 ∗ 24 ∗ 60 )) ∗ 100 = 0.023% Availability = 100 - 0.023 = 99.97% So, option (D) is correct.

44. Match each software lifecycle model in List – I to its description in List – II:

List – IList – II
I. Code-and-Fixa. Assess risks at each step; do most critical action first.
II. Evolutionary prototypingb. Build an initial small requirement specifications, code it, then “evolve” the specifications and code as needed.
III. Spiralc. Build initial requirement specification for several releases, then design-and-code in sequence
IV. Staged Deliveryd. Standard phases (requirements, design, code, test) in order
V. Waterfalle. Write some code, debug it, repeat (i.e. ad-hoc)

Codes:

 IIIIIIIVV
(1)ebacd
(2)ecabd
(3)dabce
(4)ceabd

  • Option : D
  • Explanation :
  • In Code-and-Fix model write some code, debug it, repeat (i.e. ad-hoc)
  • In Evolutionary prototyping model build an initial small requirement specifications, code it, then “evolve” the specifications and code as needed.
  • In Spiral model is assess risks at each step; do most critical action first.
  • In Staged Delivery model build initial requirement specification for several releases, then design-and-code in sequence
  • In Waterfall model standard phases (requirements, design,code, test) in order
  • So, option (D) is correct.

45. Match each software term in List – I to its description in List – II:

List - IList - II
I. Wizardsa. Forms that provide structure for a document
II. Templatesb. A series of commands grouped into a single command
III. Macroc. A single program that incorporates most commonly used tools
IV. Integrated Softwared. Step-by-step guides in application software
V. Software Suitee. Bundled group of software programs

Codes:

 IIIIIIIVV
(1)dabce
(2)badce
(3)debac
(4)ecbad

  • Option : A
  • Explanation :
  • Wizards is Step-by-step guides in application software
  • Templates are Forms that provide structure for a document
  • Macro is a series of commands grouped into a single command
  • Integrated Software is a single program that incorporates most commonly used tools
  • Software Suite is bundled group of software programs
  • So, option (A) is correct.
