  1. Which of the following is not a lossy compression technique ?

(A) JPEG (B) MPEG

(C) FFT (D) Arithmetic coding

Answer: D

Explanation:

the type of compression we’ve been discussing here is called lossless compression, because it lets you recreate the original file exactly. All lossless compression is based on the idea of breaking a file into a “smaller” form for transmission or storage and then putting it back together on the other end so it can be used again.

Lossy compression works very differently. These programs simply eliminate “unnecessary” bits of information, tailoring the file so that it is smaller. This type of compression is used a lot for reducing the file size of bitmap pictures, which tend to be fairly bulky. To see how this works, let’s consider how your computer might compress a scanned photograph.

  1. A basic feasible solution of a linear programming problem is said to be …………… if at least one of the basic variable is zero.

(A) degenerate (B) non-degenerate

(C) infeasible (D) unbounded

Answer: A

Explanation:

In Linear Programming (LP) a basic feasible solution is one that also belong to the feasible region or problem area can be represented by a feasible solution in implementing the Simplex Method satisfying nonnegative conditions.


  1. Consider the following conditions :

(a) The solution must be feasible, i.e. it must satisfy all the supply and demand constraints.

(b) The number of positive allocations must be equal to m+n-1, where m is the number

of rows and n is the number of columns.

(c) All the positive allocations must be in independent positions.

The initial solution of a transportation problem is said to be non-degenerate basic feasible solution if it satisfies :

Codes :

(A) (a) and (b) only (B) (a) and (c) only

(C) (b) and (c) only (D) (a), (b) and (c)

Answer: D
