Hello friends in this post we are going to discuss AMCAT Technical Multiple choice questions | AMCAT Technical MCQ with answers | AMCAT Technical Objective type questions | AMCAT Technical Most asked questions
1- What is the term given to the variable whose scope is beyond all the scope i.e it can be accessed by all the scope?
1 – Universal Variable2 – Global Variable3 – External Variable4 – Auto variable5 – Both 2 and 3
Answer: 5
Explanation: Global Variable is Variable that is Globally available.Scope of Global variable is throughout the program [ i.e in all functions includingmain() ]It is possible to define variables that are external to all functions,that is, variables that can be accessed by name by any function because externalvariablesare globally accessible, external variables remain in existence permanently, rather thanappearing and disappearing as functions are called and exited, they retain their valuesevenafter the functions that set them have returned.An external variable must be defined, exactly once, outside of any function; this setsasidestorage for it. The variable must also be declared in each function that wants to accessit; thisstates the type of the variable. The declaration may be an explicit extern statement ormaybe implicit from context
2 – Which of the following implies that there are two loops that are nested?
1 – Two loops, one after the other.2 – Two loops, one inside the other.3 – One loop with two different iteration counts4 – Two loops with same iteration count
Answer: 2
Explanation: In nested loop, the outer loop contains the inner loop.
3 – Refer to the pseudo code given in the ‘passage’. The code is similar to that inC++and is self explanatory An accessible member function and a data member for anobject are accessed by the statements objectname.functionname andobjectname.datamembername , respectively.
1 – Identify the statement with an error.
Class entity{Private:Integer a,bPublic:Integer cFunction entity(){a=0;b=0}Function compare (){If(a>b) return 1;return 0}}function main(){Entity blackInt value,value2=5Value=black.compare() // Statement1Black.c=value2 // Statement 2Print black.a // Statement 3}
1 – Statement 1
2 – Statement 2
3 – Statement 3
4 – None of the above
Answer: 3
Explanation :- “a” variable is private to the class entity so it cannot be accessed by main
function. If you want to access then we can use friend function and friend class.
4 – What does function overloading implies?
1 – Many function definitions with the same name, different arguments and differentreturn types.
2 – Many function definitions with the same name, same arguments and different returntypes.
3 – Many functions definitions with the same name and same arguments.
4 – None of the above
Answer: 1.
Explanation: Function overloading means two or more functions can have the samename buteither the number of arguments or the data type of arguments has to be different.Return type has no role because function will return a value when it is called and atcompiletime compiler will not be able to determine which function to call.
5 – A programmer writes the program given in the ‘Passage’ to print the followingpattern on the screen:
112123
Will this program function properly? If not, which statement should be modified?
Integer I =1 // Statement 1While(i<=3){Int j= 1// Statement 2While (j<=1) // Statement 3{Print j Print blank spaceI=j+1 // Statement 4}Print end-of-line takes the cursor to the next linei=i+1}
1 – Statement 1
2 – Statement 2
3 – Statement 3
4 – Statement 4
Answer 3
Explanation: Modify 3 statement as while(j<=i).
6 – Consider the code given below. Assume that “a” and “b” are passed byreference.What will the output of the program be when the function calculate() is executed?
Function modify(b,a){Return a-b}Function calculate(){Integer a=5,b=12,cC=modify(a,b)Print c}
a. 7
b. -7
c. 0
d. None
Answer- b
Explanation; 5, 12 pass to the function thus 5-12= -7
7 – What is the output of the program given below? Integer i=0,jWhile(i<2){j=0;While(j<=3*i){print jprint blank spacej= j+3}Print end-of-line // takes the cursor to the next lineI=i+1}
a – 00303036
b-00360369
c-03603690 3 6 9 12
Answer – a
Explanation:
a – Initial i= 0 and in while loop while(i< 2) satisfied here assigning j = 0 again while loopcondition satisfied so in first time it will print value of j=0.b – Now j = j + 3 means it will be 3 but inside loop condition fail then in next line it willprintnext line an i value will be i = i + 1; means now i will be one again it will reach at initialwhile loopcondition satisfied i value 1 and j again assigned j = 0 c – Now condition satisfied in second while loop then print 0 again j value will be 3 and itwillsatisfiedd- again second while loop then it will print 3 now j become 6 and second while loopconditionfail so in next line it will print next line and i will be 2e – Now control goes to first while loop condition fail.

1 – Log n
2 – N+1
3 – 2n+1
4 – 2n
Answer: 3
Explanation: Non leaf node i.e.; root for a full binary tree it has left child, right child so n(root+ left+ right)=3 nodes (21 +1) if n is 3 each left and right have 2 child each so 7 nodes =23+1 so answer is 2n+1 nodes
11 – In which of the following method is sorting not possible?
1 – Insertion
2 – Selection
3 – Exchange
4 – Deletion
Answer: 4

12 – Ravi and Rupali are asked to write a program to sum the rows of a 2X2matricesstored in the array A.Ravi writes the following code (Code A):for n = 0 to 1sumRow1[n] = A[n][1] + A[n][2]endRupali writes the following code (Code B): sumRow1[0] = A[0][1] + A[0][2] sumRow1[1] = A[1][1] + A[1][2]Comment upon these codes (Assume no loop-unrolling done by compiler):
1 – Code A will execute faster than Code B
2 – Code B will execute faster than Code A
3 – Code A is logically incorrect.
4 – Code B is logically incorrect.
Answer: 2
Explanation: Both codes are taking 2 steps of operation, therefore same complexity.But if we consider the overhead of looping (as it takes time to increment counter) thencode b will be faster.
13 – A code takes the following code steps (equivalently time unit) to execute:5n3 + 6n2 + 1. Which of the following is not true about the time complexity of theprogram?
1 – It has a time complexity of O(n3)
2 – It has a time complexity of O(n4)
3 – It has a time complexity of O(n2)
4 – It has a time complexity of &theta(n3)
Answer: 3
Explanation: O (n3) while calculating the time complexity we take the highest order ofthefunction. e.g if expression is x^5+x^4+x^2+521 then it’s O(x^5)
14 – We have two programs. We know that the first has a time complexity O(n 2),while the second has a complexity &omega(n2). For sufficiently large n, which ofthefollowing cannot be true?
1 – Both codes have same complexity
2 – The first code has higher time complexity than the second
3 – The second code has lower time complexity than the first code.
4 – Both codes are the same.
Answer: 1
Explanation: Code A has O (n2) complexity which means worst case complexity whereascode B has omega (n2) which is best case complexity.

23 – Ravi is writing a program in C++. C++ uses the ‘for’ keyword for loops.
Due to distraction, Ravi writes ‘gor’ instead of ‘for’. What will this result to?
1 – The code will not compile.
2 – The code will give an error while in execution
3 – The code may work for some inputs and not for others.
4 – It will create no problems.
Answer: 1
Explanation: The code will not compile and will show syntax error.
24 – What does a compiler do?
1 – Converts code from a high level language to a low level language
2 – Necessarily converts the code into assembly language
3 – Converts code from a low level language to a high level language
4 – Necessarily converts the code into machine language
Answer: 1
Explanation: A compiler is a program that translates the source code for anotherprogramfrom a programming language into executable code. The source code is typically in ahigh-level programming language (e. g. Pascal, C, C++, Java, Perl, C#, etc).
25 – A program is compiled by Tarun on his machine. Whether it will run on a different computer will depend upon:
1 – Operating system on the computer
2 – Hardware configuration of the computer
3 – Both operating system and hardware configuration
4 – The language of the program
Answer: 3
Explanation: Platform = OS + Hardware configuration so to run on different computer, ithasto provide same platform virtual machine that can provide same environment(e.g JVM incaseof java) so either of the above case we are providing platform(directly or indirectly) thelanguage of the program is even dependent upon the 2 factors 1)operating system ofthecomputer. 2) Hardware configuration (that mainly include processor) of the computer
26 – There is a new data-type which can take as values natural numbers between(and including) 0 and 25. How many minimum bits are required to store this data type.
a. 4
b. -5
c. 1
d. 3
Answer: b
Explanation: – 5 because 25 is represented by 10011 which is a 5-bit number.

Explanation:-as -2^((n-1))+1 to 2^(n-1)-1so if -2^(6-1)+1 to 2^(6-1)-1then -31 to 31
28 – A language has 28 different letters in total. Each word in the language is composed of maximum 7 letters. You want to create a data-type to store a word of this language. You decide to store the word as an array of letters. How many bits will you assign to the data-type to be able to store all kinds of words of the language?
a – 7
b – 35
c – 28
d – 196
Answer: b
Explanation:-No. of words in the language = 28these letters are denoted in form of numbers 1-28ex– first letter = 1 (in binary form- 1)second letter = 2 (in binary form- 10) last letter = 28 (in binary form- 11100)the last letter has a total of 5 bits!!!!So, minimum memory required for a single letter is 5 bits!!!!therefore, for 7 letters it will be– 7×5=35
29 – A 10-bit unsigned integer has the following range:
a – 0 to 1000

30 – Rajni wants to create a data-type for the number of books in her book case. Her shelf can accommodate a maximum of 75 books. She allocates 7 bits to the datatype. Later another shelf is added to her book-case. She realizes that she can still usethesame data-type for storing the number of books in her book-case. What is the maximum possible capacity of her new added shelf?
a – 52
b – 127
c – 53
d – 75
Answer: a
Explanation:- Since max possible combination of data type is 2^7=127, Because it issingedinteger so, signed integer can store up to 0 to 127 for 7 bits . Now old self can take max75books so still she has 52 capacities left. so max possible capacity=52 i.e., 127-75=52
31 – A new language has 15 possible letters, 8 different kinds of punctuation marks anda blank Character. Rahul wants to create two data types, first one which could store the letters of the language and a second one which could store any character in the language. The number of bits required to store these two data-types will respectively be:
a – 3 and 4
b – 4 and 3
c – 4 and 5
d – 3 and 5
Answer: c
Explanation: Because bits required to store letter only i.e 15 letters=2^4 which means 4bits isrequired. Similarly for ANY CHARACTER (including letters)i.e 15+8+1=24 =2^5 ie 5 bits
required. So 4 and 5 bits required.
32 – Parul takes as input two numbers: a and b. a and b can take integer valuesbetween0 and 255. She stores a, b and c as 1-byte data type. She writes the following code statement to process a and b and put the result in c.c = a + 2*b To her surprise her program gives the right output with some input values of aand b,while gives an erroneous answer for others. For which of the following inputs will it give a wrong answer?
1.a = 10 b = 200
2. a = 200 b = 10
3. a = 50 b = 100
4. a = 100 b = 50
Answer: 1
Explanation:For OPTION 1: 10+ 2200 = 410 (out of range), integer range is 0 to 255OPTION 2: c = 200+210= 220 OPTION 3 c = 50+2100= 250OPTION 4 : c = 100+ 250= 200
33 – Prashant takes as input 2 integer numbers, a and b, whose value can bebetween0 and 127. He stores them as 7 bit numbers. He writes the following code to process these numbers to produce a third number c.c=a-b In how many minimum bits should Prashant store c?
a – 6 bits
b – 7 bits
c – 8 bits
d – 9 bits
Answer: c
Explanation: In the above problem he did not mentioned any -ve values and valuesbetween0 to127. Max value of c =127-0 =127. so 2^7 = 128.But in case c= 0-127 = -127.So to store this value we want 8 bytes. (1 bit is used to represent the signed value).
34 – Ankita takes as input 2 integer numbers, a and b, whose value can be between 0and 31, He Stores them as 5 bit numbers. He writes the following code to process these numbers to produce a third number c.c = 2*(a – b)In how many minimum bits should Ankita store c?
a – 6 bits
b – 7 bits
c – 8 bits
d – 9 bits
Answer: b
Explanation:c = 2(a – b)lowest number will be generated when a=0 and b=31c= 2(0-31)= -62`highest number will be generated when a=31 and b=0c= 2*(31-0)= 62Range= -64 to 64Bits required=7
35 – A character in new programming language is stored in 2 bytes. A string is represented as an array of characters. A word is stored as a string. Each byte in the memory has an address. The word “Mahatma Gandhi” is stored in the memory with starting address 456. The letter ‘d’ will be at which memory address?
1 – 468
2 – 480
3 – 478
4 – 467
Answer: 3
Explanation: Its start from 0 not 1 so d is at 11th position and an empty space is also aspace 456 + 11*2= 478.
36 – What will be the output of the following pseudo-code statements:
integer a = 456, b, c, d =10 b = a/d c = a – b print c
a – 410
b – 410.4
c – 411.4
d – 411
Answer: d
Explanation: b = a/d=456/10=45.6 it will be rounded off to 45 as the variable b isdeclared asinteger. Now c=456-45=411
37 – What will be the output of the following pseudo-code statements:
integer a = 984, b, c, d =10 print remainder(a,d) // remainder when a is divided by da = a/dprint remainder(a,d) // remainder when a is divided by d
a – 4 8
b – Error
c-84
Answer: a
Explanation: Here for first statement : print remainder(a,d), we read it as (a%d) =984%10=4so ans for first statement is 4
For the second statement : (a/d)=984/10=98.4so a=98.4, but a is considered as integer so it is taken as 98so now a=98
For the third statement : print remainder (a,d)we take it as (a%d)=98%10=8 //i.e result from second statement a=98so ans for third statement is 8so we get 4 and 8
38 – What will be the output of the following code statements?
integer a = 50, b = 25, c = 0print ( a > 45 OR b > 50 AND c > 10 )

97 – A queue is implemented by a linear array of size 10 (and not as a circularly connected Array). Front and Rear are represented as an index in the array. To add an element, the rear index is incremented and the element is added. To delete an element, the front index is incremented. The following operations are done on an empty queue. ADD 1; DELETE; ADD 2; ADD 3; ADD 4; DELETE, DELETE After this set of operations, what is the maximum capacity of the queue?
a. 6
b. 7
c. 10
d. None of these
Answer: b
Explanation: In queue initially the both Front and Rear assigned by the value -1 means the queue is empty. The size of the queue is 10 (array index no from 0 to 9).ADD 1 it will increment both Front and Rear (in case of first element)DELETE deletion of element set the Front and Rear to -1(queue is empty)ADD 2 Front = 0 ,Rear = 0ADD 3 Front = 0 ,Rear = 1ADD 4 Front = 0 ,Rear = 2DELETE Front = 1 ,Rear = 2DELETE Front = 2 ,Rear = 2Now the empty location in the queue is 7 so the maximum capacity of queue is 7 . In spite 2 location is empty in left side of the last element 4 but queue cannot access these location as the front on the location 2 this is the disadvantage of simple to queue to overcome this problem circular queue is implemented.
