Consider a 13 element hash table for which f(key) = key mod 13 is used with integer keys. Assuming linear probing is used for collision resolution, at which location would the key 103 be inserted,if the keys 661, 182, 24 and 103 are inserted in that order?

A cube of side 1 unit is placed in such a waythatthe origin coincides with one of its top vertices and the three axes run along three of its edges. What are the co-ordinates of the vertex which is diagonally opposite to the vertex whose coordinates are (1, 0, 1)?

Consider a system where each file is associated with a 16-bit number. For each file, each user should havethe read and write capability. How much memory is needed to store each user’s access data?

What is the time complexity for the following C module? Assume that n > 0;

{
if( n == 1)
return 1;
else
return (n + module(n-1));
}

What is the minimum numberof resources required to ensure that deadlock will never occur, if there are currently three processes P1, P2, and Ps running in a system whose maximum demand for the resources of same type are 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
