71. Let A and B be two fuzzy integers defined as :
A = {(1, 0.3), (2, 0.6), (3, 1), (4, 0.7), (5, 0.2)}
B = {(10, 0.5), (11, 1), (12, 0.5)}


(1) {(11, 0.8), (13, 1), (15,1)}
(2) {(11, 0.3), (12, 0.5), (13, 1), (14, 1), (15, 1), (16, 0.5), (17, 0.2)}
(3) {(11, 0.3), (12, 0.5), (13, 0.6), (14, 1), (15, 1), (16, 0.5), (17, 0.2)}
(4) {(11, 0.3), (12, 0.5), (13, 0.6), (14, 1), (15, 0.7), (16, 0.5), (17, 0.2)}

72. Suppose the function y and a fuzzy integer number around -4 for x are given as y=(x - 3)2 + 2.
Around -4 ={(2, 0.3), (3, 0.6), (4, 1), (5, 0.6), (6, 0.3)} respectively. Then f (Around -4) is given by:
(1) {(2, 0.6), (3, 0.3), (6, 1), (11, 0.3)}
(2) {(2, 0.6), (3, 1), (6, 1), (11, 0.3)}
(3) {(2, 0.6), (3, 1), (6, 0.6), (11, 0.3)}
(4) {(2, 0.6), (3, 0.3), (6, 0.6), (11, 0.3)}

 73. Match the following for unix system calls :
List-I                  List - II
(a) exec        (i)  Creates a new process
(b) brk         (ii)  Invokes another program overlaying memory space with a copy of an executable file
(c) wait        (iii) To increase or decrease the size of data region
(d) fork       (iv)  A process synchronizes with termination of child process
Codes :
     (a) (b) (c) (d)
(1) (ii) (iii) (iv) (i)
(2) (iii) (ii) (vi) (i)
(3) (iv) (iii) (ii) (i)
(4) (iv) (iii) (i) (ii)

 74. WOW32 is a:
(1) Win 32 API library for creating processes and threads.
(2) Special kind of file system to the NT name space.
(3) Kernel - mode objects accessible through Win 32 API
(4) Special execution environment used to run 16 bit Windows applications on 32 - bit machines.

75. The unix command :
$vi   filel file2
(1) Edits filel and stores the contents of filel in file2
(2) Both files i.e. filel and file2 can be edited using 'ex' command to travel between the files
(3) Both files can be edited using 'mv' command to move between the files
(4) Edits filel first, saves it and then edits file2
