Answers
1. (c)
2. (b)
3. (a)
4. (d) There is a total of 32 keywords in C. See following table.
6. (b) The time required to find an object stored in memory can be significantly reduced if the stored data can be identified by the content of the data for its own use rather than by access. A memory unit accessed by a material is known as an associative memory or a content addressable memory (CAM). This type of memory is accessed simultaneously and in parallel based on the data content rather than the specific address or location. if a word is written in associative memory, no address is given. Memory is capable of finding empty unused space to store the word, or part of the word specified. memory detects all words that match the specified content and marks them for reading.

8. (d)
9. (b)
Step 1: Is this a positive or a negative number?
In a signed binary two's complement, the first bit (the leftmost) indicates the sign,
1 = negative, 0 = positive.
1101 0010 is the binary representation of a negative integer, on 8 bits.
Step 2. Get the binary representation in one's complement:
Run this step only if the number is negative
Subtract 1 from the binary initial number:
1101 0010 - 1 = 1101 0001
Step 3: 3. Get the binary representation of the positive (unsigned) number:
Run this step only if the number is negative
Flip all the bits in the signed binary one's complement representation (reverse the digits i.e. 0 to 1 and 1 to 0) - replace the bits set on 1 with 0s and the bits on 0 with 1s:
1101 0001 = 0010 1110
Step 4. Map the unsigned binary number's digits versus the corresponding powers of 2 that their place value represent:
0010 11102
= (0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20)10
= 4610
If needed, adjust the sign of the integer number by the first digit (leftmost) of the signed binary:
1101 0010₂ = - 46₁₀
10. (a) BIOS, in full Basic Input/Output System, is the computer program that is typically stored in EPROM and used by the CPU to perform start-up procedures when the computer is turned on. Its two major procedures are determining what peripheral devices (keyboard, mouse, disk drives, printers, video cards, etc.) are available and loading the operating system (OS) into main memory.
