In the resulting tree, the right subtree of the root contains p nodes. The first number to be inserted in the tree must be Options A) p B) p + 1 C) n - p D) n - p + 1 Your Answer ( Not Answered ) Correct Answer D 7 In a computer system, four files of size 11050 bytes, 4990 bytes, 5170 bytes and 12640 bytes need to be stored. For storing these files on disk, we can use either 100 byte disk blocks or 200 byte disk blocks (but can't mix block sizes). For each block used to store a file, 4 bytes of bookkeeping information also needs to be stored on the disk. Thus, the total space used to store a file is the sum of the space taken to store the file and the space taken to store the bookkeeping information for the blocks allocated for storing the file. A disk block can store either book keeping information for a file or data from a file, but not both. What is the total space required for storing the files using 100 byte disk blocks and 200 byte disk blocks respectively? Options A) 35400 and 35800 bytes B) 35800 and 35400 bytes C) 35600 and 35400 bytes D) 35400 and 35600 bytes Your Answer ( Not Answered ) Correct Answer C 8 Which of the following commands or sequences of commands will rename a file x to file y in a Unix system ?
