43.       Consider the following snippet of a C program. Assume that swap (& x, & y) exchanges the contents of x and y.
int main() {
int array[] = {3, 5, 1, 4, 6, 2);
int done = 0;
int i;
while (done == 0) {
done = 1;
for (i=0; i<=4; i++) {
if (array[i] < array[i+1]) {
swap(&array[i], &array[i+1]);
done = 0;
}
}
for (i=5; i>=1; i--) {
if (array[i] > array[i-1]) {
swap(&array[i], &array[i-1]);
done = 0;
}
}
}
printf (“%d”, array[3]);
}

44.       Two transactions T1 and T2 are given as
T1: r1(X)w1(X)r1(Y)w1(Y)
T2: r2(Y)w2(Y)r2(Z)w2(Z)
where ri(V) denotes a read operation by transaction Ti on a variable V and wi(V) denotes a write operation by transaction Ti on a variable V. The total number of conflict serializable schedules that can be formed by T1 and T2 is ...............

45.       The read access times and the hit ratios for different caches in a memory hierarchy are as given below.
The read access time of main memory is 90 nanoseconds. Assume that the caches use the referred-word-first read policy and the write back policy. Assume that all the caches are direct mapped caches. Assume that the dirty bit is always 0 for all the blocks in the caches. In execution of a program, 60% of memory reads are for instruction fetch and 40% are for memory operand fetch. The average read access time in nanoseconds (up to 2 decimal places) is ..................
Answer: 4.72

46.       Consider the following database table named top_scorer.
Consider the following SQL query:
SELECT ta.player FROM top scorer AS ta
WHERE ta.goals > ALL (SELECT tb.goals
FROM top_scorer AS tb
WHERE tb.country = ‘Spain’)
AND ta.goals >ANY(SELECT tc.goals
FROM top_scorer AS tc
WHERE tc.country = ‘Germany’)
The number of tuples returned by the above SQL query is ...............
