The following solution is based on the idea shared by @Sachin Mittal sir. Given, $g_y(z) = (1 – \beta + \beta z)^N$ $= g_y(z) = ((1 – \beta) + \beta z)^N$ Using binomial expansion, $= g_y(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{N}{\binom{N}{k}(1 – \beta)^{N-k}(\beta z)^k}$ $= g_y(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{N}{\binom{N}{k}(1 – \beta)^{N-k}(\beta)^k(z)^k}$ Let $a = (1 – \beta)$ and $b = \beta$ $= g_y(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{N}{\binom{N}{k}a^{N-k}b^k(z)^k}$ comapring $g_x(z) = \sum_{j=0}^{N}p_jz^j$ to the above $eq^n$ we know that each of the terms in the above summation will give $P(Y = j) = p_j, where$ $0 \leq j \leq N$ and $\because E(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{N}k*p_k$ $= E(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{N}{\binom{N}{k}a^{N-k}b^{k}k}$ $= E(x) = Nb(a + b)^{N-1}$… [...]

Here μ is 2 million and λ is 1.5 million, so ρ=λ/μ is 0.75, and from queueing theory, each packet experiences a delay four times what it would in an idle system. The time in an idle system is 500 nsec, here it is 2 μsec. With 10 routers along a path, the queueing plus service time 20 μsec. #Solutioninthemanual [...]

Given M1, M2, M3, M4 first of all we take first three matrix and see which combination is giving minimum number of multiplication. combination #1: M1*(M2*M3) → Here for M2*M3 no. of multiplication is q*r*s and then we will multiply M1 with the resultant matrix of M2*M3 and no. of multiplication will be p*q*s , so total no. of multiplication in M1*(M2*M3) is q*r*s + p*q*s = 10000 + 5000 = 15000 combination #2: (M1*M2)*M3 → Here for M1*M2 no. of multiplication is p*q*r and then we multiply M3 with the resultant matrix of M1*M2 and no. of multiplication will be p*r*s, so total no. of multiplication… [...]

B) Sutherland-Hodgeman algorithm .. The Cohen–Sutherland algorithm is a computer-graphics algorithm used for line clipping. The algorithm divides a two-dimensional space into 9 regions and then efficiently determines the lines and portions of lines that are visible in the central region of interest (the view-port). Sutherland–Hodgman Algorithm is to clip polygon edges. A convex polygon and a convex clipping area are given. Input is in the form of vertices of the polygon in clockwise order. The Liang-Barsky algorithm is a line clipping algorithm. This algorithm is more efficient than Cohen–Sutherland line clipping algorithm and can be extended to 3-Dimensional clipping.… [...]

The smallest Ethernet frame is 512 bits, so at 1 Gbps we get 1,953,125 or almost 2 million frames/sec. However, this only works when frame bursting is operating. Without frame bursting, short frames are padded to 4096 bits, in which case the maximum number is 244,140. For the largest frame (12,144 bits), there can be as many as 82,345 frames/sec. [...]

Given that, $2^{6x}+2^{3x+2}-21 =0$ $ \Rightarrow \left ( {2^{3x}} \right)^2 +2^{3x}+2^2-21 =0 \longrightarrow (1)$ Let $2^{3x}$ be $K.$ Now, From equation (1,)we get $ \Rightarrow K^2 +4K-21 =0$ $ \Rightarrow k^2 +7k -3k-21 =0$ $ \Rightarrow K(k+7)-3(K+7)=0$ $ \Rightarrow (K+7)(K-3)=0$ $ \Rightarrow \boxed {K=-7,3}$ $ \Rightarrow K \neq {-7}$ because $2^{3x}$ not be $-7$ for any value of $x$ So, $ \boxed {k =3}$ $ \Rightarrow 2^{3x}=3$ Taking $\log_{2}$on the both sides. $ \Rightarrow\log_{2}2^{3x} =\log_{2}3$ $ \Rightarrow 3x \log_{2}2 = \log_{2}3$ $ \Rightarrow 3x = \log_{2}3$ $ \Rightarrow \boxed{ x = \frac {\log_{2}3}{3}}$ Correct Answer $: C$ [...]

When interest is calculated semi-annually then, the rate will be half and time will be doubled. $R=3\%, T=2$ years.
