stadium and the details about the city which the team belongs to. Each team has many players and
each player belongs to one team. Each player has identity number (unique identifier), name, date of
birth, started year and shirt number. Teams play in competition. Each competition includes a host
team and a guest team. Competitions will take place in host’s stadium. For each competition,
following things should be considered.
 Competition date
 Final result of competition
 Players participated in final competition
 Number of goals by players
 Number of red and yellow cards received by the players
 Players can be substituted during the competition
 When substitutes were used

AL/2023/20/E-II(B) -4-

4)
a) A positive integer is a perfect number according to number theorem. In number theory, a perfect
number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper positive divisors, that is, the sum of its
positive divisors excluding the number itself (also known as its aliquot sum). Equivalently, a perfect
number is a number that is half the sum of all of its positive divisors (including itself).

6/1 = 0 , 6/2 = 0, 6/3 = 0 , 6/6 = 0

Factors of 6 : 1,2,3,6
1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12/2 = 6 𝑜𝑟 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
So 6 is a perfect number. Also 28 is a perfect number.

Python program for finding the factors of a number is given below.

num = int(input("Enter a number:"))

for i in range(1,num):
if(num%i==0):
print(i,end=" ")

Using the above program, write a python program to get an integer as input from user and outputs
whether that is a perfect number or not a perfect number.

b) A word or a sentence is got as input and being validated according to below conditions.
Space, special characters, numbers in the string will be removed and it will convert to small letters.
The first letter and last letter should be same in the sentence. The second letter and the letter before
the last letter should be same also. Like that if that word or sentence is symmetrical it’s called
palindrome.

Consider the following example

The word amma is a palindrome because 𝑠𝑡𝑟[0] =

𝑠𝑡𝑟[−1] 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑡𝑟[1] = 𝑠𝑡𝑟[−2]
The word amma has four characters. The half-length of the string is
2. If that 2 characters were compared with the last 2 characters, you
can find whether the string is a palindrome or not a palindrome.

Write a python program to get a word or sentence as a input(Assume that Space, special characters,
numbers in the string will be removed before inputting ) and convert it into small letters and
displaying the output whether the string is a palindrome or not a palindrome.

Note : While inputting, The sentence “Never odd or even” will be inputted as
Neveroddoreven. madam , repaper are examples for palindrome.

c) Teacher asked a student to write a python program to find whether the given year is a leap year
or not.
If a year is leap year then it should satisfy the following conditions.

[see page five

AL/2023/20/E-II(B) -5-

 The given year should be a multiple of 100 as well as multiple of 400. While dividing
the given year by 100 and 400 , if the remainder is 0 then the given year is a leap year.
 If the given year is not a multiple of 100 , then it should be a multiple of 4. If you don’t
get remainder as 0 while dividing by 100, but when the remainder is 0 while dividing by 4,
Then the given year is a leap year.
 For an example 2000 is leap year which can be divided by 100 and 400 with a zero
remainder. 1996 is also a leap year which can’t be divided by 100 but can be divided by 4
with a zero remainder.

a) One face mall is a famous business store and supermarket in the city which sells variety of goods
such as food, jewels, clothes, electronic items, books and etc. Each sector stated above has a physical
store in the mall.

Considering your advice, one face mall has implemented an ecommerce system based on internet to
conduct their business in online too. Most of the stores in the mall has joined the one face e-mall
system to conduct their businesses in online.

Answer the following questions regarding the above scenario.

i) State the suitable e-commerce business type for the above scenario.
ii) In which business organization type does the stores in one face mall will be included?
iii) Which revenue model will be used in one face e-mall’s online business system?
iv) Which revenue model will be used in stores which joined one face e-mall’s online business
system?
v) State the advantage for the following people by implementing the above scenario,
i) Customers
ii) Stores in the one face mall

b) Multiagent systems can be used to do some works done by humans. A hospital uses a doctor
agent software which accepts queries from patients and replies to it. This scenario is described as
following.

Patient submit the query command to the user agent. This user agent assigns this task to a doctor
agent. Doctor agent sends a request command to a resource agent. Resource agent sends the request
command to the knowledge base and gets the electronic data from the knowledge base. Also
resource agent sends an announcement to doctor agent. This announcement proceeds through user
agent to user and the data will be displayed to user.

i) Draw a simplified diagram for the above system

ii) Which agent can’t be considered as autonomous?
iii) State the names of agent which doesn’t have any user interaction.

a) Assume that we have a computer which uses 18 bit virtual addresses from 0 up to 256K. Assume
further that this computer has only64 KB of physical memory and the page size is 8 KB. Above 18bit
virtual address is made up of the bits of the page number followed by offset bits. User runs a particular
program having a size of 64KB on this computer. A few selected fields of the page table of that
process at a particular time are shown in the figure below.

Page number Frame number Present / Absent

0 011 1

1 101 1

2 000 0

3 110 1

4 000 0

5 111 1

6 000 0

7 000 0

Notes :

 The frame number is indicated in binary.

 The virtual addresses on page 0 are from 0 to 8191 and on page 1 are from 8192 to 16383 and so on.

 The present/absent bit indicates the validity of the entry.If this bit is 1, the entry is valid and can be
used. If it is 0, then the relevant virtual page is not in physical memory.

i) If the memory is byte addressable, find the maximum usable size of memory?
ii) State the number of pages will be created?
iii) State the number of bits that will be assigned for page size/displacement/offset?
iv) How many frames will be created?
v) For which physical address will the virtual address 10000 mapped to?
vi) For which physical address will 001010 1100 0110 0010 mapped to?

b) The central theme of modern operating system is process. Process is a program in execution.
Process can have many states. Those states are shown below in the diagram.

i) Choose the correct answer from the list to fit the blanks in the above seven state
transition diagram. Write the correct answers against the labels in your answer sheet.

[Short term schedular, schedular dispatch, I/O or event wait, I/O or event completion,
Swapped out and blocked, Swapped out and waiting, Terminated, Waiting, Interrupt,
Active, Running]

ii) State 02 reasons for the arrow C in the above seven state transition diagram.
iii) State 02 reasons for creation of process.
iv) Operating system resolves every resource allocated, after the ending of process. List out
reasons for process termination.
v) Process in ready state is changed to state B by arrow A. Which schedular is responsible
for above act?

c) Operating system allocates disk spaces to files. Operating system deploys many ways to allocate
disk spaces to files.
i) Which are the main three methods used by operating system for file allocation.
ii) Name the file allocation technique which encourages fragmentation
