Q:

Which one of the following may be the true characteristic of cyclones?

A) Temperate cyclones move from west to east with westerlies whereas tropical cyclones follow trade winds B) The front side of cyclone is known as the 'eye of cyclone'.
C) Cyclones possess a centre of high pressure surrounded by closed isobars D) Hurricanes are well known tropical cyclones which develop over mid latitudes.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Temperate cyclones move from west to east with westerlies whereas tropical cyclones follow trade winds

Explanation:

Temperate Cyclones are cyclones of mid-latitudes and hence are primarily under influence of permanent winds of mid-latitudes i.e. westerlies. Their movement is therefore eastwards of their origin with average velocity of 32km per hour in summers and 48km per hour in winters.

Movement of Tropical CyclonesNormally, they move from east to west under the influence of trade winds because trade winds are permanent winds of tropical latitudes. The general direction is therefore westwards from their origin. They advance with varying velocities. Weak cyclones move at the speed of about 32km per hour while hurricanes attain the velocity of 180km per hour or more.

Q:

Demand side market failures occur when

A) supply curves do not reflect the full cost of producing a good or services B) demand curves do not reflect consumer’s full willingness to pay for goods or services
C) government imposes tax on a good or a service D) a good or service is not produced because no one demands it
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) demand curves do not reflect consumer’s full willingness to pay for goods or services

Explanation:

Market failure arises because it is not possible for the market to correctly weight cost and benefits in a situation in which some of the cost is completely unaccounted.

Demand-side market failures happen when demand curves do not reflect consumer’s full willingness to pay for goods or services.

Supply-side market failures occur when supply curves do not reflect the full cost of producing a good or services.

Q:

In loading programs into memory, what is the difference between load-time dynamic linking and run-time dynamic linking?

Answer

For load-time dynamic linking: Load module to be loaded is read into memory. Any reference to a target external module causes that module to be loaded and the references are updated to a relative address from the start base address of the application module.


With run-time dynamic loading: Some of the linking is postponed until actual reference during execution. Then the correct module is loaded and linked.
