b) Incremental Model
c) Concurrent Development Model
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: None.

https://www.sanfoundry.com/software-engineering-questions-answers-campus-interviews/ 1/7
2. The Incremental Model is a result of combination of elements of which two models?

a) Build & FIX Model & Waterfall Model
b) Linear Model & RAD Model
c) Linear Model & Prototyping Model
d) Waterfall Model & RAD Model
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Each linear sequence produces a deliverable “increment” of the software and
particularly when we have to quickly deliver a limited functionality system.
3. What is the major advantage of using Incremental Model?

a) Customer can respond to each increment
b) Easier to test and debug
c) It is used when there is a need to get a product to the market early
d) Easier to test and debug & It is used when there is a need to get a product to the market early
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Incremental Model is generally easier to test and debug than other methods of
software development because relatively smaller changes are made during each iteration and
is popular particularly when we have to quickly deliver a limited functionality system.However,
option “a” can be seen in other models as well like RAD model,hence option “d” answers the
question.
4. The spiral model was originally proposed by

a) IBM
b) Barry Boehm

Answer: c
Explanation: The radial dimension of the model represents the cumulative costs and the
angular dimension represents the progress made in completing each cycle. Each loop of the
spiral from X-axis clockwise through 360o represents one phase.

10. If you were to create client/server applications, which model would you go for?
b) Spiral Model 
c) Concurrent Model
d) Incremental Model
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: When applied to client/server applications, the concurrent process model de nes
activities in two dimensions: a system dimension and a component dimension.Thus
Concurrency is achieved by system and component activities occurring simultaneously and
can be modeled using the state-oriented approach.

a. 13 programmers
b. 10 programmers
c. 8 programmers
d. 100/13 programmers

Answer = B
Explanation:Let the first case takes 100 units of time to execute. Second case will
take 99 +(1/5) units of time. As the 1% coding in assembly language will take 1/5
units of time. Hence the required percentage = 0.8*100/100 = 0.8.
10) If 99% of the program is written in FORTRAN and the remaining 1% in

assembly language the percentage increase in the execution time, compared to
writing the 1% in assembly language is ?
a. 0.9
b. 0.1
c. 1
d. 0
Answer = D
Explanation:In both cases the final program will have the same 99% of code in
FORTRAN and the remaining 1% in assembly language. Hence the execution time
will remain same.
