Question Discussion & Solution

Key Points

 An array is defined as the collection of similar types of data items stored at contiguous memory locations. Arrays are the derived data type in C programming language which can store the primitive type of data such as int, char, double, float, etc. C array is beneficial if you have to store similar elements.

int array[] = {2, 3, 4, 5}; This array storage be like, 

The above array at index I can be accessed by, a[i], i[a], *(a+i) or *(i+a) all the above representations all are equal and gives the i th index value.

printf(%d', 2[array]); So, it gives the 2^nd  index value. i.e 4.

Hence the correct answer is 4.

Additional InformationProgram: 

#include
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    printf("%d ",arr[2]);
    printf("%d ",2[arr]);
    printf("%d ",*(2+arr));
    printf("%d ",*(arr+2));
    return 0;
}

Output: 4 4 4 4

So above given 2^nd index value is 4 for all above print statements.

• In SQL, the function - avg, min, max, sum, count is called as aggregate function.
• Aggregate functions return a single value after calculating from a group of values.
• avg() function returns the average values, max() returns the maximum value, count() finds the number of rows that matches the specified condition, min() returns the minimum value, Max() returns the maximum value. sum() returns the sum of values.

Example:

SELECT AVG(salary

FROM employees

GROUP BY department_id;

The correct answer is Magnesium.

Key Points

• The outermost shell of a Magnesium element has two electrons.
  • 12 is the atomic mass for magnesium.
  • it is in group 2 of the periodic table, which it loses, so its outer shell is full (2,8).
  • it has a charge of +2, as it still has 12 protons (positive charges) and now has only 10 electrons (negative charges).
  • Magnesium is used in products that benefit from being lightweight, such as car seats, luggage, laptops, cameras, and power tools.
  • It is also added to molten iron and steel to remove sulfur. 
• Outermost Shell :
  • This outermost shell is known as the valence shell, and the electrons found in it are called valence electrons.
  • In general, atoms are most stable, least reactive, when their outermost electron shell is full.

Additional Information

• Carbon is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6.
  • It is nonmetallic and tetravalent-making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds.
  • It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. 
  • Carbon typically shares electrons to achieve a complete valence shell, forming bonds with multiple other atoms.
• Boron is a chemical element with the symbol B and atomic number 5.
  • The boron atom has only six electrons in its outer shell, leading to an electron deficiency.
  • This molecule has 12 valence shell electrons, 3 each from the B atoms, and 1 each from the six H atoms.
    • Electrons per shell: 2,3
    • Atomic Mass: 10.811 g/mol
• Chlorine atom consists of 17 protons (positively charged sub-atomic particles) in the atom's nucleus (central region), balanced by seventeen electrons (negatively charged sub-atomic particles) distributed around the nucleus.

OSI Model

• OSI stands for Open System Interconnection is a reference model that describes how information from a software application in one computer moves through a physical medium to the software application in another computer.
• OSI consists of seven layers, and each layer performs a particular network function.
• OSI model was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1984, and it is now considered as an architectural model for inter-computer communications.

There are seven OSI layers. Each layer has different functions. A list of seven layers are given below:

1) Physical Layer: 

• The main functionality of the physical layer is to transmit the individual bits from one node to another node.
• It is the lowest layer of the OSI model.

2) Data-Link Layer: 

• This layer is responsible for the error-free transfer of data frames.
• It defines the format of the data on the network.
• It provides reliable and efficient communication between two or more devices.

3) Network Layer: 

• It is a layer 3 that manages device addressing, tracks the location of devices on the network.
• It determines the best path to move data from source to destination based on the network conditions, the priority of service, and other factors.
• Logical Addressing and Routing are functions of the Network Layer.

4) Transport Layer: 

• The Transport layer is a Layer 4 ensures that messages are transmitted in the order in which they are sent and there is no duplication of data.
• The main responsibility of the transport layer is to transfer the data completely.

5) Session Layer:

• The Session layer is used to establish, maintain, and synchronizes the interaction between communicating devices.

​6) Presentation Layer:

• It acts as a data translator for a network.
• This layer is a part of the operating system that converts the data from one presentation format to another format.

7) Application Layer: 

• An application layer serves as a window for users and application processes to access network service.
• This layer provides network services to the end-users.
• HTTP is an application layer protocol designed within the framework of the Internet protocol suite. Its definition presumes an underlying and reliable transport layer protocol, and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is commonly used.

​Thus, HTTP is an application layer in the OSI Model of Networking.

Key Points

• Microbes belong to diverse organisms – bacteria, fungi, protozoa, viruses.
• Microbes influence man's life in several ways- they are found in clothes, jams, shoes, dead wood, food products, soil, etc.
• Spore Formation is a method in asexual reproduction.
• Spore formation can be seen in the bread mold / Rhizopus.
• The presence of sugar and carbohydrate on bread provides proper conditions for spore formation. 

Rhizopus is the correct option. 

Additional Information

• Yeast is used as a fermentation agent in the bakery (bread industry) and brewery (wine industry). So, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is also called “Baker’s yeast”.
• Wart disease is caused by the fungus Synchytrium endobioticum. 
• Aspergillus is a Fungus genus that belongs to the class Ascomycetes or the sac fungi.
