Some problems may be solved through programming are: i) Search Problem, ii) Path finding Problem.

Only (i)

Both (i) and (ii) only

Only (ii)

None of them
Yes, the answer is correct.
Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
Both (i) and (ii) only

Explanation: The Search problem, namely retrieves information stored within some data structure, or
calculated in the search space of a problem domain where Pathfinding addresses the problem of finding
a good path from the starting point to the goal.
Instructing the computer to do the steps to be followed to solve a problem is called.

In finding maximum number of 5 different numbers, how many decision box will be drawn in the
flow chart

4 numbers

5 numbers

6 numbers

3 numbers
Yes, the answer is correct.
Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
4 numbers
Explanation: Considering maximum of 3 numbers the algorithm is below:

Step 1: Start
Start 2: Input A, B, C
Start 3: Let max = A
Start 4: if B > max then max = B
Start 5: if C > max then max = C
Start 6: Output max is largest
Start 7: Stop

In this above example, two comparisons made with the value of max. It can be presented with two
decision boxes in a flowchart. The same logic holds in case of finding maximum of five numbers.

A. Denoting the program flow
1 point

Explanation: It’s good idea to understand first, the piece of code written for specific purpose
should serve it. So write it in a simple English i.e. pseudocode to ensure the program flow.

Converters from High Level Language to Machine Language is called

Interpreter

Compiler

Both A and B

None of them
Yes, the answer is correct.
Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
Both A and B
Explanation: It is observed sometimes a third party is required while 2 bilingual people talks each other.
The 3rd party does the job of an interpreter who understands both language and converts it to their native
languages. Here in this case both interpreter and compiler which is also a program are doing the same,
converting high-level language to machine level language.

Accepted Answers:
Disk

Explanation: A Secondary memory is where programs and data are kept on a long-term basis. Common
secondary storage devices are the hard disk and optical disks. The hard disk has enormous storage
capacity compared to main memory.

Part of algorithm which is repeated for fixed number of times is classified as

Iteration

Selection

Sequence

Reverse Action
Yes, the answer is correct.
Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
Iteration

Explanation: Each repetition of the process is called an iteration, and the results of one iteration are
used as the starting point for the next iteration. e.g. making a list of facebook friends.

An ANSI C Compiler is

Translates an ANSI C program into the Assembly Code for the underlying CPU
Translates any version of C program into the Assembly code for the underlying CPU
Is only functional in a LINUX Operating System
Is only available in WINDOWS 10 environment

Explanation: The job of a compiler is explained above. Now, what is ANSI C, basically it's
a standard for the C programming language published by the American National Standards
Institute and the International Organization for Standardization.
The questions from the flow chart are self explanatory. Just put the answers in
the respective boxes and try to understand the flow. For any doubts please
