1.

De Morgan's Law: De Morgan's Law is a fundamental principle in

propositional logic and set theory. It states two important rules
that relate the logical operators "not," "and," and "or." The laws
are as follows:
 First Law (De Morgan's Law for Negation): The negation of a
conjunction (logical "and") is equivalent to the disjunction (logical

¬(A ∧ B) ≡ (¬A ∨ ¬B).

"or") of the negations of the individual propositions. Symbolically,

 Second Law (De Morgan's Law for Disjunction): The negation of a

disjunction (logical "or") is equivalent to the conjunction (logical

Symbolically, ¬(A ∨ B) ≡ (¬A ∧ ¬B).

"and") of the negations of the individual propositions.

These laws allow one to simplify logical expressions and

manipulate them into different forms while preserving their truth
value.

2. Chromatic number of Kn graph (Complete Graph): The chromatic

number of a graph is the minimum number of colors needed to
color the vertices of the graph such that no two adjacent vertices
share the same color. A complete graph, denoted as Kn, is a
graph in which every pair of distinct vertices is connected by an
edge.

For a complete graph Kn, the chromatic number is equal to the

number of vertices in the graph. This means that to color all the
vertices of a complete graph Kn, at least n different colors are
required, where n is the number of vertices in the graph.
Additionally, this is also the maximum degree of the graph.

3. Group: In mathematics, a group is a set equipped with a binary

operation that combines any two elements of the set to produce
another element of the set. To qualify as a group, the set and the
operation must satisfy four fundamental properties:
 Closure: For any two elements a and b in the set, the result of the
operation on them, denoted as a * b, must also be an element of
the set.
 Associativity: The operation must be associative, meaning that for
any three elements a, b, and c in the set, the expression (a * b) *
c is equal to a * (b * c).
 Identity: There exists an identity element, denoted as e, such that
for any element a in the set, the operation of a * e (or e * a)
results in a.
 Inverse: For every element a in the set, there exists an inverse
element, denoted as a⁻¹, such that the operation of a * a⁻¹ (or a⁻¹
* a) results in the identity element e.

Groups are essential algebraic structures that find applications in

various branches of mathematics and other fields, such as physics
and computer science.

4. B-Tree: A B-tree is a balanced tree data structure that is

commonly used for efficient manipulation and retrieval of data in
databases and file systems. It is designed to keep data sorted and
allow efficient operations like searching, inserting, and deleting
elements.

The key characteristics of a B-tree are:

 Balance: The B-tree maintains a balanced structure, meaning that

all leaf nodes are at the same level. This balance ensures that the
operations have a predictable and efficient time complexity.
 Multiple Keys per Node: Each node in a B-tree can store multiple
keys and corresponding values. The number of keys in a node is
within a specified range.
 Child Pointers: The internal nodes of a B-tree contain pointers to
child nodes. These pointers help navigate through the tree during
search, insertion, and deletion operations.
 Split and Merge: When a node becomes full, it is split into two
nodes, and the middle key is promoted to the parent node.
Similarly, if a node becomes empty, it may be merged with its
adjacent sibling node.

B-trees are particularly useful for scenarios where large amounts

of data need to be stored and efficiently accessed, such as in
databases and file systems.

5. Heaps: A heap is a specialized tree-based data structure that

satisfies the heap property. The heap property defines the
relationship between parent and child nodes, determining the
order of values stored in the heap. Heaps are commonly used to
implement priority queues and efficient sorting algorithms.

There are two main types of heaps:

 Max Heap: In a max heap, for any given node i, the value of i is
greater than or equal to the values of its children. This means that
the maximum value in the heap is always at the root node.
 Min Heap: In a min heap, for any given node i, the value of i is
less than or equal to the values of its children. This means that
the minimum value in the heap is always at the root node.

The key operations performed on heaps include inserting

elements, extracting the maximum or minimum element, and
heapifying (maintaining the heap property) after modifications.

6. Complexity of binary search: The complexity of an algorithm

refers to the measure of the amount of time or space required by
the algorithm to solve a problem. In the case of binary search,
which is an efficient search algorithm, the time complexity is
logarithmic.

Binary search operates on a sorted array and repeatedly divides

the search interval in half, reducing the search space by half with
each comparison. This logarithmic behavior gives binary search
its efficiency.

The time complexity of binary search is O(log n), where n is the

number of elements in the array. This means that the number of
operations required to find the target element grows
logarithmically with the size of the input.

The logarithmic time complexity of binary search makes it

particularly useful for searching in large sorted datasets, as it
significantly reduces the number of comparisons needed
compared to linear search algorithms.
 7.Distinct number permutations formed from all letters of the word
"ENGINEERING": To find the distinct number of permutations formed from
the letters of the word "ENGINEERING," we can treat each letter as a
distinct element and calculate the total number of permutations.

The word "ENGINEERING" has a total of 12 letters, but some of them are
repeated. To find the distinct permutations, we need to account for the
repetition of letters. The distinct permutations can be calculated using the
formula for permutations with repetition.

In this case, the word "ENGINEERING" has the following repeating letters:

 'E' appears three times.

 'N' appears three times.
 'G' appears two times.
 'I' appears two times.
 'R' appears one time.

Using the formula, the total number of distinct permutations can be

calculated as:

Total Permutations = 12! / (3! * 3! * 2! * 2! * 1!)

Here, '!' denotes the factorial operation.

Calculating this expression yields the total number of distinct

permutations formed from the letters of the word "ENGINEERING."

8. Simple graph: In graph theory, a simple graph is an undirected graph that

does not contain any loops (edges that connect a vertex to itself) or
multiple edges (more than one edge connecting the same pair of
vertices). In other words, a simple graph is a graph without any self-loops
or parallel edges.

A simple graph consists of a set of vertices (also called nodes) and a set of
edges. Each edge connects two distinct vertices. The edges have no
direction, meaning they do not have a specific starting or ending point.

Simple graphs are widely studied in graph theory and have various
applications in computer science, social networks, transportation
networks, and many other fields.
9. Total order relation: In mathematics, a total order relation, also known as
a linear order or a linear ordering, is a binary relation that satisfies three
properties: reflexivity, antisymmetry, and transitivity.
 Reflexivity: For any element a, it is related to itself. Symbolically, a ≤ a.
 Antisymmetry: For any two distinct elements a and b, if a ≤ b and b ≤ a,
then a and b must be equal. In other words, if there is an ordering
between a and b, they cannot be different from each other. Symbolically,
if a ≤ b and b ≤ a, then a = b.
 Transitivity: For any three elements a, b, and c, if a ≤ b and b ≤ c, then a
≤ c. This property ensures that the ordering is transitive and extends
across multiple elements. Symbolically, if a ≤ b and b ≤ c, then a ≤ c.

A total order relation imposes a complete and unique order on the

elements of a set. Examples of total order relations include the numerical
ordering on real numbers (≤) and the alphabetical ordering of words.

10. Commutative Ring: In abstract algebra, a commutative ring is a ring

in which the multiplication operation is commutative. A ring is an
algebraic structure that consists of a set equipped with two binary
operations: addition and multiplication.

Formally, a commutative ring is a set R equipped with two binary

operations, denoted as + and *, which satisfy the following properties:

 Closure: For any two elements a and b in R, the sum a + b and the
product a * b are also in R.
 Associativity: The operations of addition and multiplication are
associative. That is, for any three elements a, b, and c in R, the
expressions (a + b) + c and (a * b) * c are equal.
 Commutativity of Addition: Addition is commutative. For any two elements
a and b in R, a + b = b + a.
 Identity Elements: There exist two distinct elements, denoted as 0 and 1,
such that for any element a in R, a + 0 = a and a * 1 = a.
 Distributive Property: Multiplication distributes over addition. For any
three elements a, b, and c in R, the expression a * (b + c) is equal to (a *
b) + (a * c).

In a commutative ring, the order of multiplication does not affect the

result. This property allows for the manipulation and rearrangement of
terms in algebraic equations.

Examples of commutative rings include the ring of integers (ℤ), the ring of
rational numbers (ℚ), and the ring of real numbers (ℝ), all equipped with
the usual operations of addition and multiplication.
3. Boundedness Law of Boolean Algebra: In Boolean algebra, the
boundedness law states that every Boolean algebra has two special
elements: a greatest element (also known as the universal or maximum
element) and a least element (also known as the zero or minimum
element). These elements are denoted as 1 and 0, respectively.

The boundedness law can be stated as follows:

 Greatest Element (1): For any element a in a Boolean algebra, a + 1 = 1.

This means that the logical OR operation (denoted by '+') of any element
with the greatest element always results in the greatest element.
 Least Element (0): For any element a in a Boolean algebra, a · 0 = 0. This
means that the logical AND operation (denoted by '·') of any element with
the least element always results in the least element.

The greatest element (1) acts as an identity for logical OR, meaning that
combining any element with 1 does not change its value. The least
element (0) acts as an identity for logical AND, meaning that combining
any element with 0 results in 0.

These bounded elements play important roles in Boolean algebra as they

provide starting points for logical operations and help establish the
fundamental properties of the algebraic system.

4. Ring without Zero Divisors: A ring is said to be without zero divisors or an

integral domain if it satisfies the following property:

For any two non-zero elements a and b in the ring, their product ab is non-
zero.

In other words, if in a ring the product of two non-zero elements is always

non-zero, the ring is said to be without zero divisors.

Formally, a ring R is without zero divisors if, for all a, b ∈ R, where a ≠ 0

and b ≠ 0, it follows that ab ≠ 0.

An integral domain is an example of a ring without zero divisors. In an

integral domain, the product of two non-zero elements is always non-zero,
and multiplication is commutative and associative.

For example, the ring of integers (ℤ), the ring of rational numbers (ℚ),
and the ring of real numbers (ℝ) are all integral domains, as the product
of two non-zero elements is always non-zero in these rings.

Note that a ring can have zero divisors and still be a valid ring, but it
would not be classified as an integral domain

integers modulo n under addition, denoted as ℤₙ. This group consists of

6. Example of a finite group: One example of a finite group is the group of
 the integers {0, 1, 2, ..., n-1} with addition performed modulo n. The
identity element of this group is 0, and the inverse of each element is its
additive inverse modulo n. The operation of addition satisfies closure,
associativity, identity, and inverse properties, making it a finite group.
7. Conditions for a non-empty subset to be a subgroup: A non-empty subset
H of a finite group G is considered a subgroup if it satisfies the following
conditions:
 Closure: For any two elements a and b in H, their product ab is also in H.
 Identity: The identity element of G is also in H.
 Inverse: For every element a in H, its inverse a⁻¹ is also in H.

In other words, H must be closed under the group operation, contain the
identity element, and contain the inverse of each of its elements. These
conditions ensure that H forms a subgroup that inherits the group
structure from G.

8. Chromatic number of the graph K2,3: The graph K2,3 represents a

complete bipartite graph with two vertices in one partition and three
vertices in the other partition. The chromatic number of a graph
represents the minimum number of colors needed to color the vertices
such that no two adjacent vertices share the same color.

In the case of K2,3, since it is a bipartite graph, the chromatic number is

equal to 2. The two partitions of the graph can be colored with different
colors, ensuring that no adjacent vertices share the same color.

9. Definition of a Hamiltonian cycle: A Hamiltonian cycle in a graph is a cycle

(a closed path) that visits every vertex of the graph exactly once, except
for the starting vertex, which is also the ending vertex. In other words, it is
a cycle that passes through every vertex of the graph exactly once.

For a graph to have a Hamiltonian cycle, it must have a cycle that

includes all of its vertices. Not all graphs have Hamiltonian cycles, and
determining whether a graph has a Hamiltonian cycle is a known NP-
complete problem.

10. Definition of a graph and when it is said to be connected: A graph is

a mathematical structure that consists of a set of vertices (also known as
nodes) and a set of edges that connect pairs of vertices. Graphs are used
to represent relationships or connections between different elements.

A graph is said to be connected if there is a path between every pair of

vertices in the graph. In other words, for any two vertices in a connected
graph, there exists at least one sequence of edges that connects them.

If a graph is not connected, it can be decomposed into separate

connected components, where each connected component is a subgraph
 that is itself connected, and there are no edges connecting vertices
between different connected components.
a) Partial order relation: A partial order relation, also known as a partial
order, is a binary relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive. It
defines a relationship between elements of a set in which some elements
are considered greater than or equal to others.

Formally, a partial order relation on a set S is denoted by the symbol "≤"

(or sometimes "≥") and satisfies the following properties:

 Reflexivity: For any element a in S, a ≤ a. This means that every element

is related to itself.
 Antisymmetry: For any two distinct elements a and b in S, if a ≤ b and b ≤
a, then a = b. This means that if there is an ordering between two
elements, they must be equal.
 Transitivity: For any three elements a, b, and c in S, if a ≤ b and b ≤ c,
then a ≤ c. This means that the ordering extends across multiple
elements.

An example of a partial order relation is the relation of "less than or equal

to" (≤) on the set of integers. For any two integers a and b, a is
considered less than or equal to b (a ≤ b) if a is less than b or equal to b.
This relation satisfies reflexivity, antisymmetry, and transitivity.

b) Proof of A ⊆ C given A ⊆ B and B ⊆ C: To prove that A is a subset of C

given A is a subset of B and B is a subset of C, we need to show that every
element in A is also an element of C.

Let x be an arbitrary element in A. Since A ⊆ B, we know that x is also in

B. Similarly, since B ⊆ C, x is also in C.

Since x was chosen arbitrarily, this holds true for all elements in A.

of C (A ⊆ C).
Therefore, every element in A is also in C, which implies that A is a subset

c) Absorption law of Boolean algebra: The absorption law is a fundamental

property of Boolean algebra that relates the logical OR and logical AND
operations.

The absorption law states that for any elements a and b in a Boolean
algebra:

 Absorption Law: a + (a · b) = a.

In other words, the logical OR of an element a with the logical AND of a

and another element b is equal to a itself.
 This property is called the absorption law because the logical AND
operation "absorbs" the element b when combined with a logical OR
operation. It allows simplification and manipulation of Boolean
expressions.

d) Definition of a commutative ring: A commutative ring is an algebraic

structure that satisfies the properties of a ring and the additional property
of commutativity of multiplication.

Formally, a commutative ring is a set R equipped with two binary

operations, denoted as + and *, which satisfy the following properties:

 Closure: For any two elements a and b in R, the sum a + b and the
product a * b are also in R.
 Associativity: The operations of addition and multiplication are
associative. That is, for any three elements a, b, and c in R, the
expressions (a + b) + c and (a * b) * c are equal.
 Commutativity of Addition: Addition is commutative. For any two elements
a and b in R, a + b = b + a.
 Identity Elements: There exist two distinct elements, denoted as 0 and 1,
such that for any element a in R, a + 0 = a and a * 1 = a.
 Distributive Property: Multiplication distributes over addition. For any
three elements a, b, and c in R, the expression a * (b + c) is equal to (a *
b) + (a * c).

The additional property that distinguishes a commutative ring is the

commutativity of multiplication. It means that for any two elements a and
b in R, a * b = b * a.

Examples of commutative rings include the ring of integers (ℤ), the ring of
rational numbers (ℚ), and the ring of real numbers (ℝ), all equipped with
the usual operations of addition and multiplication.
f) Example of a finite group: One example of a finite group is the symmetric group of degree
n, denoted as Sₙ. The symmetric group consists of all permutations of n distinct elements.
The group operation is composition of permutations, and the identity element is the identity
permutation. The order of the symmetric group Sₙ is n!.

g) Conditions for a non-empty subset to be a subgroup: A non-empty subset H of a group G is

considered a subgroup if it satisfies the following conditions:

 Closure: For any two elements a and b in H, their product ab is also in H.

 Identity: The identity element of G is also in H.
 Inverse: For every element a in H, its inverse a⁻¹ is also in H.

In other words, H must be closed under the group operation, contain the identity element, and
contain the inverse of each of its elements. These conditions ensure that H forms a subgroup
that inherits the group structure from G.
 h) Chromatic number of a cycle on n vertices: The chromatic number of a cycle on n vertices,
where n is greater than or equal to 3, is 2. A cycle is a connected graph with n vertices
arranged in a circular fashion, where each vertex is adjacent to its two neighboring vertices.
Since a cycle graph is bipartite, meaning its vertices can be divided into two independent sets
such that no edges exist within the sets, it can be colored with two colors in such a way that
no adjacent vertices share the same color.

i) Definition of a Tree: In graph theory, a tree is an undirected, connected, and acyclic graph.
It is a set of vertices (nodes) connected by edges, where there is exactly one path between any
two vertices. In a tree, there are no cycles or loops.

A tree can be thought of as a hierarchical structure with a root vertex and its descendants.
Each vertex in the tree, except the root, has a unique parent vertex. Trees are commonly used
in various applications, such as representing hierarchical data, organizing information, and in
algorithms like search and traversal.

j) Example of a connected graph with neither an Euler circuit nor a Hamiltonian cycle: One
example of a connected graph that does not have an Euler circuit or a Hamiltonian cycle is a
complete bipartite graph with unequal partitions. Consider a complete bipartite graph with
four vertices in one partition (A, B, C, D) and three vertices in the other partition (X, Y, Z).
The edges are only present between the partitions, not within the partitions. This graph does
not have an Euler circuit because it is not possible to start and end at the same vertex while
traversing each edge exactly once. Additionally, it does not have a Hamiltonian cycle because
there is no cycle that visits every vertex exactly once.

1. Poset (Partially Ordered Set): A partially ordered set, or poset, is a mathematical
structure that consists of a set together with a binary relation that satisfies certain
properties. In a poset, the elements of the set are partially ordered with respect to
the relation, indicating a notion of "greater than" or "less than" between elements.

Formally, a poset is defined as a pair (P, ≤), where P is a set and ≤ is a binary
relation on P. The relation ≤ must satisfy the following properties:

 Reflexivity: For any element a in P, a ≤ a.

 Antisymmetry: For any elements a and b in P, if a ≤ b and b ≤ a, then a = b.
 Transitivity: For any elements a, b, and c in P, if a ≤ b and b ≤ c, then a ≤ c.

The relation ≤ is called the partial order relation, and it provides a way to compare
elements in the poset. However, not all elements need to be comparable; there can
be pairs of elements for which neither is greater than the other.

2. Anti-symmetric relation: An anti-symmetric relation is a binary relation on a set

where distinct elements are not related in both directions. In other words, if (a, b) is
in the relation, then (b, a) cannot be in the relation, unless a and b are equal.

Formally, a relation R on a set A is anti-symmetric if for any distinct elements a and b

in A, whenever (a, b) is in R and (b, a) is also in R, it implies that a = b.

An example of an anti-symmetric relation is the "less than or equal to" relation (≤)
on the set of integers. If a and b are distinct integers, and a ≤ b and b ≤ a, then it
must be true that a = b.
3. General Inclusion-Exclusion principle: The General Inclusion-Exclusion principle is a
combinatorial principle used to calculate the size of the union of multiple sets.

The principle states that for any finite sets A₁, A₂, ..., Aₙ, the size of their union is
given by:

|A₁ ∪ A₂ ∪ ... ∪ Aₙ| = |A₁| + |A₂| + ... + |Aₙ| - |A₁ ∩ A₂| - |A₁ ∩ A₃| - ... - |Aₙ₋₁ ∩ Aₙ| + |A₁
∩ A₂ ∩ A₃| + |A₁ ∩ A₂ ∩ A₄| + ... + (-1)^(n-1) * |A₁ ∩ A₂ ∩ ... ∩ Aₙ|,

where |A| denotes the cardinality (size) of set A and ∩ denotes the intersection of
sets.

This principle accounts for overcounting and undercounting when calculating the size
of the union of sets by including and excluding the appropriate intersections.

4. Involution Law in Boolean algebra: The Involution Law is a fundamental property of

Boolean algebra that relates negation or complementation of an element.

The Involution Law states that for any element a in Boolean algebra:

 Involution Law: (a')' = a,

where a' represents the complement (negation) of a.

In other words, applying the complement operation twice to an element results in

the original element. It can be thought of as a "double negation" law.

5. Number of distinct permutations from the word 'PROGRAMMING': The word

'PROGRAMMING' has a total of 11 letters. However, there are repetitions of certain
letters. To find the number of distinct permutations, we need to consider the
multiplicity of each letter.

The word 'PROGRAMMING' has the following letter distribution:

 'P': 1 occurrence
 'R': 2 occurrences
 'O': 1 occurrence
 'G': 2 occurrences
 'A': 1 occurrence
 'M': 2 occurrences
 'I': 1 occurrence
 'N': 1 occurrence

To calculate the number of distinct permutations, we can use the formula for
permutations with repetition:

Number of distinct permutations = n! / (m₁! * m₂! * ... * mk!),

where n is the total number of objects, and m₁, m₂, ..., mk are the multiplicities of
each distinct object.

Plugging in the values for 'PROGRAMMING', we have:

 Number of distinct permutations = 11! / (1! * 2! * 1! * 2! * 1! * 2! * 1! * 1!)

Simplifying this expression will give us the number of distinct permutations.

6. Graph with Euler's circuit but no Hamiltonian circuit: One example of a graph that
has an Euler's circuit but no Hamiltonian circuit is the "Petersen graph." The Petersen
graph is a simple, undirected graph with 10 vertices and 15 edges. It is named after
Julius Petersen, a Danish mathematician.

The Petersen graph is known to have an Euler's circuit, which is a closed walk that
traverses each edge exactly once and returns to the starting vertex. However, it
does not have a Hamiltonian circuit, which is a cycle that visits every vertex exactly
once.

7. Cyclic Subgroup: In group theory, a cyclic subgroup is a subgroup of a group that is

generated by a single element. A subgroup H of a group G is said to be cyclic if there
exists an element a in G such that every element of H can be expressed as powers of
a and their inverses.

that H = {aⁿ | n ∈ ℤ}, where aⁿ denotes the result of raising a to the power of n and
Formally, a subgroup H of a group G is cyclic if there exists an element a in G such

ℤ represents the set of integers.

The element a is called a generator of the cyclic subgroup H. The subgroup H

consists of all the powers of a, including the identity element and its inverses.

8. Generating function of S(n) = 2.7ⁿ, n ≥ 0: The generating function of a sequence S(n)

is a formal power series that encodes the sequence's terms into a single expression.
For the given sequence S(n) = 2.7ⁿ, where n is greater than or equal to 0, the
generating function can be written as:

G(x) = ∑ (2.7ⁿ * xⁿ),

where the summation is taken over all non-negative integers n.

This expression represents a power series in the variable x, where each term is the
corresponding term of the sequence S(n) multiplied by x raised to the power of n.
The generating function provides a way to manipulate and study the properties of
the sequence through algebraic operations on the power series.

9. Directed Graph: A directed graph, also known as a digraph, is a graph in which the
edges have a direction associated with them. Unlike in an undirected graph, the
edges in a directed graph are ordered pairs of vertices, indicating a directed
relationship from one vertex (the "tail") to another vertex (the "head").

Formally, a directed graph G is defined as a pair (V, E), where V is a set of vertices
and E is a set of ordered pairs of vertices (u, v), denoting directed edges from vertex
u to vertex v.

Directed graphs are commonly used to model relationships that have a direction or
flow, such as transportation networks, computer networks, or dependencies between
tasks. They allow for the representation of asymmetric relationships and can capture
various types of directed interactions.
10. Difference between a graph and a tree: A graph and a tree are both fundamental
concepts in graph theory, but they have distinct characteristics and properties.

Graph:

 A graph is a collection of vertices (also called nodes) and edges, which are
connections between the vertices.
 In a graph, the edges can be directed or undirected, indicating whether there is a
specific direction associated with each edge or not.
 Graphs can have cycles, meaning there can be paths that return to a vertex by
following a sequence of edges.
 Graphs can have multiple connected components, which are sets of vertices that are
not directly connected to each other.
 Graphs can have loops, which are edges that connect a vertex to itself.
 Graphs can be used to model a wide range of relationships and networks, such as
social networks, transportation networks, and computer networks.

Tree:

 A tree is a special type of graph that is connected and acyclic.

 In a tree, there is exactly one path between any two vertices, and there are no
cycles or loops.
 Trees are undirected graphs, meaning the edges are not associated with a specific
direction.
 Trees have a unique special vertex called the root.
 Trees can have branches or subtrees, which are subsets of vertices and edges that
form a smaller tree within the larger tree.
 Trees are often used to represent hierarchical structures, such as family trees, file
systems, or organizational hierarchies.

In summary, a graph is a more general structure that allows for directed or

undirected edges, cycles, and multiple components, while a tree is a specific type of
graph that is connected, acyclic, undirected, and has a root. Trees have a
hierarchical structure and are used to represent branching relationships.
