Q1. Let C be the unit circle with (0,0) as its origin in the XY – plane. Then A, the point at which the vector (6,8) intersects C, is

a) (0,0)
b) (6, 8)
c) (0.6, 0.8)
d) (0.006, 0.008)

Answer: c) (0.6, 0.8)

Q2. Observe the graph shown in Figure 1, where A, B, P1, P2 and P3 are the points contained by the respective nodes. According to the principle of repeated improvement, which of the following is correct?:

a) A = P1 × P2,B = P1 × P3, P1 = A + B, P2 = A, P3 = B
b) A = P1 + P2,B = P1 + P3, P1 = A × B, P2 = A, P3 = B
c) A = P1 + P2,B = P1 + P3, P1 = A + B, P2 = A, P3 = B
d) A = P1 + P2,B = P1 + P3, P1 = A × B, P2 = 0, P3 = 0

Answer: c) A = P1 + P2,B = P1 + P3, P1 = A + B, P2 = A, P3 = B

Q3. Given a vector (3, 4) in the XY plane, what will this vector become after being pulled to the unit circle as shown in the Figure 2?

b) 4/25, 3/25
c) 3/5, 4/5
d) 3/25, 4/25

Answer: c) 3/5, 4/5

Q4. For what values of pageranks of the nodes in Figure 3 does the process converge, i.e. pageranks of the nodes do not change after this configuration?

a) Node 1: 1/5, Node 2: 1/5, Node 3: 1/5, Node 4 = 1/5, Node 5 : 1/5
b) Node 1 : 1/5, Node 2 : 1/5, Node 3 : 2/5, Node 4 : 1/10, Node 5 = 1/10
c) Node 1 : 3/10, Node 2 : 1/10, Node 3 : 1/10, Node 4 : 2/10, Node 5 : 3/10
