  • Ans. 

    Locate sum of 2 numbers in a linear array (unsorted and sorted) and their complexities

    • For unsorted array, use nested loops to compare each element with every other element until the sum is found

    • For sorted array, use two pointers approach starting from the beginning and end of the array and move them towards each other until the sum is found

    • Complexity for unsorted array is O(n^2) and for sorted array is O(n)

  • Q5. There is a point inside the rectangle. How will you determine the line that passes through the point and divides the rectangle into 2 equal halves?
  • Ans. 

    To find line that divides rectangle into 2 equal halves through a point inside it.

    • Find the center of the rectangle

    • Draw a line from the center to the given point

    • Extend the line to the opposite side of the rectangle

    • The extended line will divide the rectangle into 2 equal halves

  • Q6. There is a scheme which contains 8-bit and 16-bit signed numbers. How many such combinations are possible?
  • Ans. 

    There are multiple combinations of 8-bit and 16-bit signed numbers. How many such combinations are possible?

    • There are 2^8 (256) possible combinations of 8-bit signed numbers.

    • There are 2^16 (65,536) possible combinations of 16-bit signed numbers.

    • To find the total number of combinations, we can add the number of combinations of 8-bit and 16-bit signed numbers.

    • Therefore, the total number of possible combinations is 256 +
