Truth Table:
ISC Class 12 Computer Science Previous Year Question Papers Solved 2017 Q1

(b) The duality principle states that every algebraic expression deducible from the postulates of Boolean algebra remains valid if the operators and identity elements are interchanged.

(c) ((b’ + c) + a)’
= (b’+c)’. a’
= ((b’)’ . c’) . a’
= bc’a’
ISC Class 12 Computer Science Previous Year Question Papers Solved 2017 Q1.1
(e) (i) Inverse of the given statement
P => ~Q
(ii) Converse of the given statement Q >= ~P

Question 2.
(a) What is an interface? How is it different from a class? [2]
(b) Convert the following infix expression to postfix form: [2]
P * Q/R + (S + T)
(c) AmatrixP[15] [10] is stored with each element requiring 8 bytes of storage. If the base address at P[0] [0] is 1400, determine the address at P[10] [7] when the matrix is stored in Row Major Wise. [2]
(d) (i) What is the worst-case complexity of the following code segment: [2]

for(int x = 1; x<=a; x++)
{
statements;
}
for(int y = 1; y <= b; y++)
{
for (int z = 1; z <= c; z++)
{
statements;
}
}

(ii) How would the complexity change if all the three loops went to N instead of a, b and c?
(e) Differentiate between a constructor and a method of a class. [2]
Answer 2:
(a) An interface in Java is a blueprint of a class. It has static constants and abstract methods. The interface in java is a mechanism to achieve abstraction. There can be only abstract methods in the Java interface, not the method body. It is used to achieve abstraction and multiple inheritances in Java.
It cannot be instantiated just like an abstract class.

A Java Interface is also a virtual construct in the programming world but is contrary to the Java Class, Interface cannot be instantiated or created as an object. An Interface denotes a group of logical entities. It can also act as a contract between two subsystems while communicating with each other.

(b) PQ*R/ST++

(c) Row Major Address Formula: M[i] [j] = B(A) + W[(i – Ir)*column + (j – Ic)]
In the given problem, Address of P[10][[7] is asked.
1400 is base address, column =10, W = 8 bytes, i = 10, j = 7, Ir = 0 and Ic = 0.
Address of P[10] [7]:
= 1400 + 8[(10 – 0)*10 + (7 – 0)]
= 1400 + 8[100 + 7]
= 1400 + 8*107
= 2256

(d) (i) O(a + bc)
(ii) O(n^2)

(e)

Constructor Method
1. A constructor is used to initialize the state of an object. 1. The method is used to expose the behaviour of an object.
2. The constructor must not have a return type. 2. The method must have a return type.
3. Constructor name must be same as the class name. 3. Method name may or may not be the same as a class name.

Question 3.
The following function magicfun() is a part of some class. What will the function magicfun() return, when the value of n=7 and n=10, respectively? Show the dry run/working: [5]

int magicfun (int n)
{
if(n = = 0)
return 0;
else
return magicfim(n/2) * 10 + (n%2);
}

Answer 3:
At n = 7 ⇒ 111
At n = 10 ⇒ 1010
Binary equivalent of N

The inputs are:

Inputs
A participated in a competition earlier
B is very creative
C won a prize in an inter-house competition
D has an excellent general awareness

(In all the above cases 1 indicates yes and 0 indicates no).
Output: X [1 indicates yes, 0 indicates no for all cases]

(b) State the application of a Half Adder. Draw the truth table and circuit diagram for a Half Adder. [3]
(c) Convert the following Boolean expression into its canonical POS form: [2]
F(A, B, C) = (B + C’).(A’ + B)
Answer 5:
(a) Truth Table:
ISC Class 12 Computer Science Previous Year Question Papers Solved 2017 Q5
The POS expression is,
X(A, B, C, D) = π (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10)

(b) Half adder is a combinational logic circuit with two inputs and two outputs. The half adder circuit is designed to add two single bit binary number A and B. It is the basic building block for the addition of two single-bit numbers. This circuit has two outputs carry and sum.
Truth Table:
ISC Class 12 Computer Science Previous Year Question Papers Solved 2017 Q5.1

(c) X + YZ = (X + Y)(X + Z)
Now A.A’ = 0, Similarly, C.C’ = 0
Therefore, (B + C’) = (B + C’ + A.A’) = (B + C + A) (B + C + A’)
[Treating B + C’ as a single variable]
and(A’ + B) = (A’+B + C.C’) = (A’ + B + C)(A’ + B + C’)
[Treating A’ + B as a single variable]
F(A, B, C) = (B + C’).(A’ + B)
= (B + C’ + A)(B + C’ + A’)(A’ + B + C)(A’ + B + C’)

Question 6.
(a) What is & Multiplexer? How is it different from a decoder? Draw the circuit diagram for a 8 : 1 Multiplexer. [5]
(b) Prove the Boolean expression using Boolean laws. Also, mention the law used at each step.

(c) Define maxterms and mm terms. Find the maxterm and mintenn when: [2]
P = 0, Q = 1, R = 1 and S = 0
Answer 6:
(a) Multiplexer is a special type of combinational circuit. There are n-data inputs, one output and m select inputs with 2m = n. It is a digital circuit which selects one of the n data inputs and routes it to the output.
The main function of multiplexer basically is to connect information from one point to another point through wires while on the other hand, decoders convert the outputs for several operations such as data collection and calculations.
Multiplexer:

ISC Class 12 Computer Science Previous Year Question Papers Solved 2017 Q6.1

(b) F =(x’ + z) + [(y’ + z).(x’ + y)]’
= x’ + z + (y’ + z)’ + (x’ + y)’
= x’ + z + (y’)’ z’ + (x’)’ y’ [De Morgan’s Law]
= x’ + z + yz’ + xy’ [Double Negation]
= x’ + xy’ + z + yz’ [a + a’b = a + b]
= x’ + y’ + z + y
= x’ + z + y’ + y [Complement Law: a + a’ = 1]
= x’ + z + 1
= 1
(c) A minterm is a product! AND) of all variables taken either in their direct or complemented form. Any Boolean function can be expressed as a sum of its 1-minterms and the inverse of the function can be expressed as a sum of its 0-minterms.
Therefore,
F(list of variables) = Σ (list of 1 -minterm indices)
and F'(list of variables) = Σ (list of 0-minterm indices)
General example: F = Σ(1, 2, 4, 7)
A maxterm is an addition(OR) of all variables taken either in their direct or complemented form. Any Boolean function can be expressed as a product of its 0-max terms and the inverse of the function can be expressed as a product of its 1-max terms.
Therefore, F(list of variables) = π ( list of 0-maxterm indices)
and F'(list of variables) = π (list of 1-maxterm indices)
General example:
F = π(0, 3, 5, 6)
Here, we are given,
P = 0,Q = 1, R = 1 and S = 0
⇒ Minterm = P’QRS’
⇒ Maxterm = (P + Q’ + R’ + S)
