UNIT-I
1. (a) What do you understand by Software? provide the classification of Software.
(b) Draw a block diagram of the phases of a compiler and indicate main function of every phase.

2. (a) discuss contiguous allocation method.
(b) elaborate the major activities of an operating system in situation to the file management?

UNIT-II

(c) define how MS-DOS hierarchical file system is organized.

UNIT-III
5. (a) explain that 'C' is relatively a low level lanugage.
(b) explain the main features of the 'C' programming language.

6.(a) Givne a five digit integer. Write a 'C' program to print it in reverse order (for example provided 92345 the outcome should be 54329).

(b) Write function to add, subtract, multiply and divide the 2 complex number (x+iy) and (a+ib).

UNIT-IV

7. Write a function to validate the elements of a matrix of size n x n. The validation rules are :
(i) All diagonal entries should be positive.
(ii) The matrix should be symmetric
(iii) All the non-diagonal elements should be negative or zero.

8. Write a recursive function in 'C' to obtain Greatest Common Division (GCD) of 2 positive integers and hence discuss the process of recursion.

UNIT-V

9. Write function in 'C' to retrieve a record with specified key using files.

10. Create a structure to store employee's data with the subsequent information:-

Employees No, Employees name, employee pay, date of joining (which is itself a structure)
It is decided to increase the pay as per the subsequent rules :-

pay<=Rs. 2,000 15% increase
pay>=Rs. 5,000 but >2,000 10% increase
pay>5,000 no increase

Write 'C' program to print details of employees who have completed 20 years of service.
