Assignment- Week 0
TYPE OF QUESTION: MSQ
Number of questions: 10 Total mark: 10 X 1 = 10
QUESTION 1:
Consider a system with 2 level caches. Access times of Level 1 cache, Level 2 cache, and main
memory are 2 ns, 10 ns, and 200 ns, respectively. The hit rates of Level 1 and Level 2 caches are
0.8 and 0.9, respectively. What is the average access time of the system ignoring the search time
within the cache?
a) 8.6 ns
b) 6.2 ns
c) 7.4 ns
d) 6.4 ns
Correct Answer: c
QUESTION 2:
A computer’s processor sends 32 bit addresses to the cache controller. It has a 512 KByte, 8-way
set associative, write back data cache with block size of 32 Bytes. In addition to the address tag,
each cache tag directory entry contains 3 valid bits and 1 modified bit. Find the size of the cache
tag directory.
a) 212 Kbits
b) 320 Kbits
c) 160 Kbits
d) 120 Kbits
Correct Answer: b
QUESTION 3:
The memory locations 5000, 5001 and 5020 have data values 118, 101 and 116 respectively before
the following program is executed.
MOVI R1, 1
STOREI 0(R2), 77
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:
1. R1←1 (Move immediate)
2. R2←[5000+[R1]], ( Load from memory)
R2←5000+1
[5000+1]=101
Thus, value =101 is moved to the register R2

QUESTION 4:
In the above-mentioned data path of a CPU, it is given; all the components of the data path are of
identical sizes. ALU carries out all the operations including the incrementation of PC as well as
GPRs. It needs two clock cycles to complete a memory read operation. For the instruction “add Rs,
Rd”, which of the following statements is correct?
a) At least three clock cycles are needed to complete the execution cycle of the instruction.
b) At least five clock cycles are needed to complete the execution cycle of the instruction.
c) At least two clock cycles are needed to complete the execution cycle of the instruction.
d) At least four clock cycles are needed to complete the execution cycle of the instruction.
Correct Answer: a
QUESTION 5:
The interrupt-request line is a part of the ___________
a. Data line
b. Address line
c. Control line
JULY-2021
d. None of these
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution: The Interrupt-request line is a control line along which the device is allowed to
send the interrupt signal.
QUESTION 6:
One of the header fields in an IP datagram is the Time to Live (TTL) field. Which of the following
statements best explains the need for this field?
a) It can be used to prioritize packets
b) It can be used to reduce delays
c) It can be used to optimize throughput
d) It can be used to prevent packet looping
Correct Answer: d
Detailed Solution: Time to Live can be thought as an upper bound on the time that an IP datagram
can exist in the network. The purpose of the TTL field is to avoid a situation in which an
undeliverable datagram keeps circulating.
QUESTION 7:
Which of the following system calls results in the sending of SYN packets?
a) socket
b) connect
c) listen
d) bind
Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution: socket() creates a new socket of a certain socket type, identified by an integer
number, and allocates system resources to it. bind() is typically used on the server side, and
associates a socket with a socket address structure, i.e. a specified local port number and IP address.
listen() is used on the server side, and causes a bound TCP socket to enter the listening state.
connect() is used on the client side, and assigns a free local port number to a socket. In the case of a
TCP socket, it causes an attempt to establish a new TCP connection.
QUESTION 8:
If a class B network on the Internet has a subnet mask of 255.255.248.0, what is
JULY-2021
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution: The binary representation of the subnet mask is
1111111.11111111.11111000.00000000. There are 21 bits set in the subnet. So 11 (32-21) bits are
left for host ids. Total possible values of host ids is 2^11 = 2048. Out of these 2048 values, 2
addresses are reserved. The address with all bits as 1 is reserved as broadcast address and address
with all host id bits as 0 is used as the network address of the subnet. In general, the number of
addresses usable for addressing specific hosts in each network is always 2^N – 2 where N is the
number of bits for host id.
QUESTION 9:
In classful addressing, an IP address 123.23.56.4 belongs to _____ format.
a) Class A
b) Class B
c) Class C
d) Class D
Correct Answer: a
Detailed Solution: 0 - 126 = Class A
128 - 191 = Class B
192 - 223 = Class C
224 - 255 = Class D
So ans is A.
QUESTION 10:
Count to infinity is a problem associated with
a) Link state routing protocol.
b) Distance vector routing protocol
c) DNS while resolving host name
d) TCP for congestion control
Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution: Count to infinity is a problem associated with distance vector routing.

Assignment- Week 0
TYPE OF QUESTION: MCQ/MSQ
Number of questions: 10 Total mark: 10 X 1 = 10
QUESTION 1:
Which of the following ports is a registered port in network paradigm?
a) 20
b) 1020
c) 36255
d) 58628
Correct Answer: (c)
Detailed Solution: Ports with numbers 0–1023 are called system or well-known ports, ports with
numbers 1024 – 49151 are called user or registered ports, and ports with numbers 49152 – 65535
are called dynamic, private or ephemeral ports. Here only the port with number 36255 is a
registered port.
QUESTION 2:
Which device uses a logical addressing system?
a) Hub
b) Router
c) Bridge
d) Switch
QUESTION 3:
Which of the following is FALSE?
a) Kernel level threads cannot share the code segment.
b) User level threads are not scheduled by the kernel.
c) Context switching between user level threads is faster than context switching between
kernel level threads.
d) When a user level thread is blocked, all other threads of its process are blocked.
switching between user level threads is faster as they have no actual context-switch, nothing is
saved while for kernel level threads, Registers, PC and SP must be saved and restored. So, C is
TRUE. When a user level thread is blocked, all other threads of its process are blocked. So, D is
TRUE.
QUESTION 4:
