IMPORTANT SOLVED MODEL TEST PAPER FOR UGC NET DECEMBER 2014

IMPORTANT SOLVED MODEL TEST PAPER FOR UGC NET DECEMBER 2014

1. The total number of spanning trees that can be drawn using five labeled vertices is:
(A). 125 (B).64
(C ). 36 (D). 16

Ans : A.
Explanation:
As per Cayleys formula for counting spanning trees
T(Kn)= n^ (n-2) where n is the number of vertices.
T(k5)=5 5-2=5 3= 5 * 5 * 5=125

2. Four jobs J1,J2,J3, and J4 are waiting to be run. Their expected run times are 9,6,3 and 5 respectively. In order to minimize average response time, the jobs should be run in the order:
(A). J1 J2 J3 J4 (B). J4 J3 J2 J1
(C ) J3 J4 J1 J2 (D) J3 J4 J2 J1
Ans : D

Easy one
J3=3
J4=5
J2=6
J1=9

3. If a code is ‘t’ error detecting, the minimum hamming distance should be equal to :
(A). t-1 (B). t
(C ). t+1 (D). 2t+1

Ans: C.
Very often asked question.
Tip:
For error detection, formula is t+1
For error correction, formula is 2t+1
