Answer & explanation →

In a particular program, it is found that 1% of the code accounts for 50% of the execution time. To code the program in FORTRAN, it takes 100 man-days. Coding in assembly language is 10 times harder than coding in FORTRAN, but runs 5 times faster. Converting (rewriting) an existing FORTRAN program to an assembly language program is 4 times harder than coding in FORTRAN.

Q141. The entire program is written in FORTRAN. The percentage decrease in the execution time, resulting from rewriting the 1% of code (that accounts for 50% of execution time) into assembly language, is
  1. 20
  2. 32
  3. 40
  4. 60
Answer & explanation →
Q142. If 99% of the program is written in FORTRAN and the remaining 1% directly in assembly language, the percentage increase in the execution time, compared to writing the entire program in FORTRAN and then rewriting (converting) the 1% into assembly language, is
  1. 0.9
  2. 1
  3. 0.1
  4. 0
Answer & explanation →
Q143. If a project team needs 13 days to completely write the program in FORTRAN and rewriting (converting) the 1% code to assembly language, then the team consists of
  1. 13 Programmers
  2. 10 Programmers
  3. 8 Programmers
  4. 100/13 Programmers
Answer & explanation →
Q144. How many days will it take for 2 programmers to write the entire code in FORTRAN and then rewrite the 1% code to assembly language?
  1. 52
  2. 53
  3. 54
  4. 55
Answer & explanation →
Q145. If 99% of the program is written in FORTRAN and the remaining 1% in assembly, the percentage increase in the programming time compared to writing the entire program in FORTRAN and rewriting (converting) the 1% to assembly language is
  1. 10
  2. 5
  3. 13
  4. 8
