Detailed Explanations
1. (a)
‘Disinterested’ means ‘free from bias, free from personal/selfish motives’.
‘Uninterested’ means ‘lacking interest’.
2. (b)
Between 1 to 300:
There are 27 multiples of 11.
There are 23 multiples of 13.
There are 2 multiples of 143 (of both 11 and 13).
So, there are 27 – 2 = 25 numbers divisible by 11 only.
And, there are 23 – 2 = 21 numbers divisible by 13 only.
In all, there are 25 + 21 = 46 numbers divisible by 11 or 13 but not by both.
3. 40.6 (40 to 41)

5. (a)
‘Ostrich like attitude’ means ‘when you overlook or ignore a problem’.
6. (b)
First of all |x – 3|2 = (x – 3)2, so we have: (x – 3)2 + |x – 3| = 20.
when x < 3, x – 3 is negative, thus |x – 3| = –(x – 3). In this case we will have (x – 3)2 – (x – 3)
= 20
⇒ x = –1 or x = 8.
Discard x = 8 because it’s not in the range we consider (< 3).
when x >= 3, x – 3 is non-negative, thus |x – 3| = x – 3. In this case we will have (x – 3)2 + (x –
3) = 20
⇒ x = –2 or x = 7.
Discard x = –2 because it’s not in the range we consider (> = 3).
Thus there the two solutions: x = –1 and x = 7
⇒ The sum = 6.

Number of trials = = = 15
150 − 30 120
Let us take 14 trials of sliding up
For every trial of these 14 trials, its effective upward movement is (150 – 30) = 120 cm
⎛ 1⎞
The time taken for this = ⎜ 14 × 1 + 14 × ⎟ = 21 minutes
⎝ 2⎠
Total distance = (14 × 120) = 1680 cm
Remaining = 1800 – 1680 = 120 cm
Remaining 120 cm it can reach in

( 60 × 120 ) = 48 seconds
150
Total time = 21 minutes 48 seconds
8. (b)
Total ways of arranging 5 letters in any possible order = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5! = 120
In half of the cases A will be to the left of B and in other half A will be to the right of B
Hence, desired outcome
9. (b)
This is a situation in which there is the same relationship, respect, between any possible pair of
people in the group. This is a saturation that calls for the structure “each other” or “one another”.
Choice (a) doesn’t use this, and what is used is very wordy and awkward, so it is incorrect.
These structures, “each other” and “one another”, demand a plural subject. Choices (c) and (d)
make the mistake of using a singular subject, so these are incorrect.
Option (b) is the right answer.
10. (d)
Factorial of the positive integers greater than 5 is divisible by 18.
So, we have to find out the remainder when 1! + 2! + 3! + 4! + 5! (= 153)is divided by 18. (All
other terms yield zero remainder)
So, Remainder = 9.

11. (2000)
Let Percentage Profit/Loss = x and Cost Price = C
Now, C + xC = 1920
C – xC = 1280
Solving for C ⇒ 2C = 3200 ⇒ C = 1600
Sale Price with 25% profit ⇒ 1.25 × 1600 = 2000.
12. (b)
9 AM of 14th August to 2 PM on 18th August = 101 hours
⎛ 24 + 15 ⎞ hours of incorrect clock = 24 hours of correct clock

1 hour of incorrect clock = hours of correct clock
97
96
101 hours of incorrect clock = × 101 hours of correct clock
97
= 99 hours and approx 58 minutes
So, correct time will be
2 PM, 14th August + (99 hours and 58 minutes) = 12:58 PM on 18th August
13. (c)
The length of the hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of one of the sides multiplied by 2,
i.e. 9 2 feet. Therefore the area of the square is 9 2 × 9 2 = 81 × 2 = 162 sq. feet.
The area of the triangle must be exactly one quarter of the area of the square. If you don’t see
that directly, imagine the triangle being flipped down into the square. Therefore, the total
⎛ 162 ⎞
area is ⎜ 162 + ⎟ sq. feet = 202.5 sq feet.

‘Armchair traveller’ = Someone who reads books or watches TV programmes about other
places and countries, but doesn’t actually travel anywhere. “Born with a silver spoon” = born
into a very rich family. “A big fish in a small pond” = an important or highly-ranked person in
a small group or organisation. Since, the sentence does not contain any reference about
travelling, (1) cannot be true here.

20. 1.253 (1.2 to 1.3)

Let the number of matches in which he was in the team of starting 11 be x and the matches in
which he came on as a substitute be y.
Thus, x + y = 388 ...(i)
Number of goals scored in matches in which he was in the team of starting 11 = Average ×
number of matches = 1.5x
Number of goals scored in matches in which he came on as a substitute = 0.5y
Thus, 1.5x = 0.5y + 390 ...(ii)
Solving both equations for x and y, we have x = 292 and y = 96
So, the total number of goals scored by him = 1.5 × 292 + 0.5 × 96 = 486 goals
Therefore, average number of goals scored per match = 486 ÷ 388 = 1.253
21. (c)
At present,
Let the members be M, N, O and P
Where age of P > O > N > M
Since P died after 5 years at the age of 88. So, present age of P = 88 – 5 = 83
Youngest member = M = 14 years
N + O + P = 54 × 3
N + O = 162 – 83 = 79 ...(i) (O > N)
10 years after the death of P means 15 years hence from present, let Q be born.
20 years from present means at that time Q = 5 years and is youngest.
Eldest member at that time = O (age = O + 20)
(O + 20) – 5 = 57
for GATE 2020 CS
O = 57 – 15 = 42 years
So, N = 79 – 42 = 37 years
After 5 years, members alive are = M, N, O
M = 14 + 5 = 19 years
N = 37 + 5 = 42 years
O = 42 + 5 = 47 years
Required ages of N and O are 42 and 47.

It would be easier if we visualize this problem. As sphere is inscribed in cube then the edges
of the cube equal to the diameter of sphere,
Diameter = 10 units
Next, Diagonal of a cube = 10 2 + 10 2 + 10 2 = 10 3.

Now, half of (Diagonal minus Diameter) is the gap between the vertex of cube and surface
of the sphere, which will be the shortest distance:
Diagonal − Diameter 10 3 − 10

24. (c)
K
Let us assume k = and the cost price = C
100
K ⎞ K ⎞
Based on S1, we can write C × ⎛⎜ 1 + ⎛
⎟ −C ×⎜1 − ⎟ = 2560
⎝ 100 ⎠ ⎝ 100 ⎠
2CK
i.e. = 2560 or Ck = 1280 which does not give the value of k or K. Hence Statement 1 is NOT
100
sufficient.
Based on S2, C × 0.075 = K which gives C = 40K/3 = 4000k/3 which will NOT give the value of
k or K.
When we combine the information given in both the statements, we will be able to find C as
well as k or K. Hence option (c) is the correct option.

The code represent is the selection sort algorithm on an array.
27. (b)
For every index in input array we need to check given index contain ‘0’ or not if current index
contains 0 then get out of loop and print index and if current index do not contains 0 then
check it for the next index element.
array[i]! = 0
Also check index should be less than total number of elements in array i.e.
i < n
So, condition must be array[i]! = 0 && i < n.
28. (c)
Consider array representation of stacks:
–1 0 n–1 n

(b) n – n + –1 = –1 not possible
(c) n + 1 – n + (–1) = 0 only possible option
(d) n – 1 – n + (–1) = –2 not possible
Now consider for both stack has ‘2’ elements each:
10 20 40 30
–1 0 1 2 3 ..... n–4 n–3 n–2 n–1 n
Apply in option (c)

= n + 1 – (n –2) + 1
= n + 1 – n +2 + 1 = 4

It merges the two sorted lists.
In every recursion, z gets a node which is smallest node from x and y.

The program X prints the ternary equivalent of 1023. Program P1 also prints the ternary
equivalent of 1023. However, program P2 prints the ternary equivalent of 1023 in reverse

Hence the answer is (b).

The value returned by the above program will be zero. To understand this, here’s the sequence
of the recursive calls.
Output: a = 240 and b = 1
a = 241 and b = 2
a = 242 and b = 4
a = 243 and b = 8
a = 244 and b = 16
a = 245 and b = 32
a = 246 and b = 64
a = 247 and b = 128
a = 248 and b = 256
a = 249 and b = 512
a = 250 and b = 1024
a = 251 and b = 2048
a = 252 and b = 4096
a = 253 and b = 8192
a = 254 and b = 16384
a = 255 and b = 32768
a = 0 and b = 0
The key here is that the range of unsigned char is [0 – 255] and that of unsigned short
is [0 – 65535].
Hence when a = 255 and b = 32768, a + 1 should be 256 and b * 2 should be 65536; however due
to overflow, a and b both become equal to zero as they are unsigned.
for GATE 2020 CS
35. (b)
The catch here is that, some of the contents of the array are written in octal format. If a number
is preceded by a zero, then the number is interpreted as an octal number in C. The code simply
adds all the numbers up, and produces the output in decimal format.
Hence, the output will be:
(0 + 1 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 100) = 128
Thus log(128) = 7
36. (c)
In foo (int var) function, variable ‘val’ is created for every function call and foo (val – –) means
first call is made after that ‘val’ values is decremented by 1 i.e.,
foo (3)
int val = 3 2;
int x = 0;
x = x + foo (3 – –);
foo (3)
int val = 3;
int x = 0;
x = x + foo (3 – –);
which makes stack overflow, so abnormal termination.
In bar (int val) function, variable ‘val’ is created for every function call and bar (val – 1) means
new call is made with 1 less than previous value of ‘val’ i.e.,
bar (3)
int val = 3 2;
int x = 0;
x = x + bar (2); {infinite loop}
bar (2)
int val = 3;
int x = 0;
x = x + bar (1); {infinite loop}
bar (1)
int val = 3;
int x = 0;
x = x + bar (0); terminate
If we see while (var > 0) is make infinite loop since ‘val’ value is not decremented in bar( ) function
for value of variable val > 0, it created infinite loop.

38. (d)
An object whose storage class is auto, is reinitialized at every function call whereas an object
whose storage class static persist its value between different function calls.
When the function fun ( ) is called for the first time, value of i and j are printed and sequentially
incremented. During the second function call, i retains its incremented value whereas j is
reinitialized, hence i will print 2 and j will print 5 again. The same will happen at third function
call, i will print 3 and j will print 5.
39. (b)
Here m represent the number of rows and n represents the number of column.
m = 2, n = 3
∗ (A[0] + 0) = A[0][0] = 1
∗ (A[1] + 0) = A[1][0] = 4
Similarly it will access all the element.
∴ 1 4 2 5 3 6 is the output printed by the program.
40. (d)
In this problem we have an array of char pointers pointing to start of 4 strings i.e.,
m a d e e a s y o n l i n e t e s t s e r i e s
s s+0 s+1 s+2 s+3

We have ptr which is pointer to a pointer of type char and a variable p which is a pointer to a
pointer of type char.
ptr s+3 s+2 s+1 s
ptr + 0 ptr + 1 ptr + 2 ptr + 3
p = ptr; p ptr
++p; p ptr+1
Printf(“%s”, ∗ – – ∗ ++ p + 3);
In printf statement the expression is evaluated ∗++p cause gets value (s + 1) then now pre-
decrement is executed and we get (s + 1) – 1 = s. The indirection pointer now gets the value
from the array of s and add 3 to the starting address. The string is printed starting from this
position. Thus, the output is ‘eeasy’.
41. (d)
• print 1( ): x = 10 + 5 = 15; since the variable is of static storage class, hence it will retain its
value between different function calls.
• print 1( ): x = 15 + 5 = 20; since it has retained its value 15.
• print 2( ): x is defined again inside the function and hence will print, x = x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15.
Again when the function will be called, x = 10 + 5 = 15. Here second time also x = 10 will be
there because it is not initialized at the time of definition.
Hence output 15, 20, 15, 15.

for GATE 2020 CS
51. (c)
(a) Accepted
(b) Accepted
(c) Not accepted
(d) Accepted
52. (b)
• Option (a) represents DCFL since string matching is done i.e. before ‘x’ and after ‘x’.
• Option (b) represents regular for which regular expression a(a + b)+ a + b(a + b)+ b.
• Option (c) represents CFL since wwR is done first, hence needs a comparison, which cannot be done
via finite automata.
• Option (d) represents CFL since wwR contains string matching, which can not be done via finite
automata.
53. (a)
• If DFA accept a null, then initial state must be final state.
• Consider a language L = {an} on alphabet {a, b} and its complement ∑* – {an} both are
infinite. Hence false.
• If L is set of all string ending with atleast n b’s then minimum number of states in non
deterministic finite automata that accept L is n + 1. Hence false.
• Since every language accepted by a NFA is also accepted by some DFA, hence non
deterministic finite automata has same power as deterministic finite automata. Hence false.
54. (c)
L(P) = 0* (10*)*
= {∈, 0, 1, 10, 01, 00, 11, .....}
L(Q) = (0* + 1*)*
= {∈, 0, 1, 10, 01, 00, 11, .....}

So, both language are equivalent to each other.
55. (c)
Put n = 1 in S1 we get {(a1)m⏐1 ≤ m} ∪ {∈}
= {am⏐m ≥ 0} = a*
• Therefore S1 is regular.
• S2 represents anbn ∪ a+b+ = a+b+ which is regular. Hence regular.

b, z0 , Xz0
b, X, XX b, X, ∈
q0 q1
a, X, X
a, z0, z0
L = {(bn abn a)m⏐m, n ≥ 0}

For clearer understanding, kindly refer the solution video of this question.
57. (a)
L2 is even palindrome on {a, b}∗
L3 is odd palindrome on {a, b}∗
L1 is any palindrome on {a, b}∗
Clearly, L2 ⊂ L1 and L3 ⊂ L1 and L1 = L2 ∪ L3
58. (c)
L = {ambnck|m, n, k > 0 and m = k}
Here, a’s are replaced by x and c’s are replaced by y in every scan from q0 → q1 → q2 → q0
To reach final state, atleast one b should appear and atleast one y (y represents c hence a also
must appear) should appear.
∴ L = ai bj ci |i, j > 0} is accepted by TM
So option (c) is correct.
59. (b)
a
S A
a
b b b b
a
B C
a
Option (b) can be obtained from the DFA given above.
Therefore (b) is correct.
60. (a)
Since M is a TM that halts on all input, so L(M) is decidable. So, L(M) ≠ L′. Since decidable
language cannot be equal to some undecidable language.
So, L = φ
Hence decidable and recursive.
for GATE 2020 CS
61. (b)
S1 : Pumping lemma can prove that language is not regular but can’t prove that the language is
regular. Hence this is false.
S2 : We can check regular grammar by following productions V → T * V + T* or V → V T * + T*.
S3 : Consider ‘L’ to be φ and ‘M’ to {an bn⏐n ≤ 0}
L.M. = φ, which is regular
S4 : In case of CNF, (n – 1) derivations are required to generate a string with (n) Non-Terminals,
since only one Non-Terminals is added during each derivation.
Further, (n) derivations are required to convert those Non-Terminals to terminals.
So, in total, to generate a string of n terminals:
(n – 1) + (n ) = (2n – 1)
To generate To convert Total

string with n NT → T
Non-Terminals
However, in case of GNF: In a single derivation, we get a terminal in addition to our Non-
Terminals. S → T(NT)*
Therefore, no need for (n – 1) derivations to increase length.
Hence, only (n) derivations are required.
62. (b)
• L1 ∪ R = CSL ∪ Reg = CSL but need not regular.
• L2 = CSL = CSL, since CSL closed under complement.
• L1 ∩ L2 = CSL ∩ CSL = CSL, since CSL closed under intersection.
• L1 – L2 = CSL – CSL = CSL ∩ CSL = CSL, since CSL are closed under intersection and
complement.
So, only II and III are true.
63. (d)
L1 : {an bm ak⏐k = mn} is not CFL, since we can not implement it with single stack.
L2 : {am + n bn + m cm⏐n, m ≥ 1} is non-CFL since here more than 1 comparison present i.e.,
{am an bn bm cm}. Hence cannot be implement by single stack.
L3 : {an bn cm⏐m < n and m, n ≥ 1} is non-CFL since more than 1 comparison are present
simultaneously i.e. after comparison of n = n, we left with only cm and we cannot
compare m < n or not.
So, none of the language is CFL.
64. (c)
0, 1

0, 1
1
= 0((0 + 1) (0 + 1))* + 1(0 + 1) ((0 + 1) (0 + 1))*
= (0 + 1 (0 + 1)) ((0 + 1) (0 + 1))*
for GATE 2020 CS
65. (c)
• L1 ⋅ L2 ⋅ L3 = {0p 1q 2r ⎪p, q, r ≥ 0} = 0* 1* 2* is regular.
Since regular, hence context-sensitive too.
• L1 ⋅ L2 ⋅ L3 ≠ {0n 1n 2n⎪n ≥ 0}
• Since it is a regular language and regular languages are closed under complement, hence
complement of L1 ⋅ L2 ⋅ L3 is regular language.
66. (c)
L = {ambnbkd l⎪(n + k = odd) only if m = l}
If, we check the condition carefully, the condition is actually logical implication.
L = {a mbnbkd l⎪(n + k = odd) → m = l}
Either n + k will be odd or it will be even, if (n + k) is odd, then it’s necessary that m should be
equal to l, if (n + k) is even then l can be any number.
L = {am b2n + 1 d l and l = m} or {am b2n d l}
= {am b2n + 1 d m} ∪ {am b2n d l}
⇒ DCFL ∪ regular = DCFL
67. (d)
Q0 → Q1 : Pushes ‘0’ to the stack when stack initially contain $.
Q1 → Q1 : Pushes all ‘0’ of the string to the stack.
Q1 → Q2 : Pushes ‘1’ to the stack, when stack initially contains 0.
Q2 → Q3 : Pop ‘1’ from the stack, when string has 0.
Q3 → Q3 : Pop all 1’s from the stack, till the string symbol is 0.
Q3 → Q4 : Pop 0’s from the stack, when string actually has 1.
Q4 → Q4 : Pop all the 0’s from the stack, till the string symbol is 1.
Q4 → Q5 : Stack contains $ and string symbol is ∈, means the string is accepted.
Hence, L = {0m 1n 0n 1m ⎪n, m > 0}
68. (a)
The language {0p 12p} is context-free language, hence it is recursive also. Since L(M) ≤p REC, so
L(M) also recursive, now given input (i.e. recursive language) to Turing machine and finding it
is accept or not is non-trivial property so it is undecidable by Rice’s theorem.
69. (d)
The given grammar G:
E → 0XE2
E → 0X2
X0 → 0X
X2 → 12
X1 → 11
L(G) = {012, 001122, ... }
E → 0X2 ⇒ 012
E → 0XE2 ⇒ 0X0X22 ⇒ 0X0122 ⇒ 00X122 ⇒ 001122
∴ L = {0n 1n 2n ⎪n > 0}
for GATE 2020 CS
70. (a)
For an input whose length is less than 100 on which Turing machine halt or not can be decidable
by running Turing machine for 100 steps. So, it is decidable language.
Whether a Turing machine accept a given language is non-trivial question so by Rice’s theorem
it is undecidable problem.
71. (d)
L1 → Regular, L2 → CFL, L3 → REC, L4 → RE
I: L3 ∪ L4 is RE
L3 ∪ L4 = REC ∪ RE
= REC ∪ RE
= RE ∪ RE = RE
So I is true
II: L2 ∪ L3 is recursive
L2 ∪ L3 = CFL ∪ REC = CSL ∪ REC

= CSL ∪ REC
= REC ∪ REC = REC
So II is True.
III: L1* ∩ L2 is CFL
L1* ∩ L2 = (REG)* ∩ CFL
= REG ∩ CFL = CFL
So III is True.
IV: L1 ∪ L2 is CFL
L1 ∪ L2 = REG ∪ CFL
= REG ∪ CSL
= REG ∪ CSL = CSL
Since, A CSL need not be a CFL, so IV is False.
So only I, II and III are true.
72. (d)
Lc ∪ Mc = (Reg)c ∪ (CFL)c = Reg ∪ (CSL)c
= Reg ∪ CSL = CSL
A CSL may or may not be regular. So, options (a) and (c) are false.
A CSL need not be a CFL. So, option (b) is false.
So, answer is (d) none of these.
for GATE 2020 CS
73. (c)
L1 = {am bm c an bn ⎜m, n ≥ 0}
L2 = {ai bj ck ⎜i, j, k ≥ 0}
L = L1 ∩ L2
L1 is CFL. L2 is regular. First use closure property to get a estimate.
L = L1 ∩ L2 = CFL ∩ Reg = CFL
However, since one of the option (b) is regular is stronger than CFL answer obtained by
closure property, we need to find the actual intersection.
Any string belonging to both must have equal number of a’s & b’s followed by a single c
followed by no a’s or b’s; which is the only string allowed by both L1 and L2.
i.e. L = L1 ∩ L2 = {ambmc}
Now this is clearly context free, but not regular.
74. (d)
L1 = {0i 1j ; i ≠ j}
L2 = {0i 1j ; i = j}
L3 = {0i 1j ; i = 2j + 1}
L4 = {0i 1j ; i ≠ 2j}
All of L1, L2, L3 and L4 are context free, since, each of these languages has a single linear comparison
between i and j and any linear comparison between i and j can be performed, in a PDA.
75. (b)
Choice (a) (0* 1 0* 1)*
will always generate strings ending with 1. But we want an expression for bit strings with
even no of 1’s, which includes strings like “110” which ends with 0.
So, choice (a) is not correct.
Choice (c) 0* (1 0* 1)* 0*
“1010101” ∉ 0*(1 0* 1)* 0*
but “1010101” has even number of 1’s. So choice (c) is incorrect.
Choice (d) λ ∉ 0* 1(1 0* 1)* 10*
but “λ” is a bit string with even no of 1’s (zero 1’s). So choice (d) is incorrect.
Choice (b) can generate all bit strings with even no of 1’s. So choice (b) is correct.

S1 : Stack and heap is used for dynamic memory allocation.
S2 : Heap and stack both are present in main memory.
S3 : Access to heap memory variables is slower as compared to accessing variables allocated on
stack. Because to access a heap memory variable we need access pointer variable first.
S4 : In a multithreaded situation, each thread has its own stack and share a common heap
memory.
188. (c)
Static scoping means that x refers to the x declared innermost scope of declaration. Since ‘h’ is
declared inside the global scope, the innermost x is the one in the global scope (it has no access
to the x’s in ‘f ’ and ‘g’, since it was not declared inside them), so the program prints 23 twice.
Dynamic scoping means that x refers to the x declared in the most recent frame of the call
stack. ‘h’ will use the x from either ‘f ’ or ‘g’, whichever one that called it so the program would
print 22 and 45.

• Rotation operation in always preserves the inorder numbering so 1st is true.
• AVL tree does not guarantee that both left and right subtree has equal number of nodes,
so statement is false.
• Consider
satisfying the property of statement 3, in this tree if element present is at last level the time
complexity will be c × n/2 Ο(n). So S3 is false.
• Total nodes = 3 × internal nodes + 1

Index for node 7 = d(i – 1) + j + 1
= 3(2 – 1) + 3 + 1
= 3+3+1=7
So, index maps to d(i – 1) + j + 1.

n → number of internal nodes:
Let n = 1 ⇒ 3 ⇒ 2 (1 – 1) + 3
Let n = 2 ⇒ 5 ⇒ 2 (2 – 1) + 3
Let n = 3 ⇒ 7 ⇒ 2 (3 – 1) + 3
Number of internal nodes = 2 (n – 1) + 3 = 2 (20 – 1) + 3 = 41

For every internal node accept root node, 2 leaf nodes are added.
