Q:

Which sociological perspective is most closely linked to microsociology?

A) symbolic interactionism B) the feminist perspective
C) structural functionalism D) the conflict perspective
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) symbolic interactionism

Explanation:

There are two types of sociological theories:

1. Macro and

2. Micro.

Macro theories focus on the society as a whole and aim at establishing the general characteristics of the society. It is basically looking at the society as a whole and looking at a bigger picture. It aims to answer three basic questions:

1) What holds the societies together?

2) What are the sources of conflict in a society?

3) How do societies change?

There are two branches of macro-sociological theories: consensus and conflict, with the main representative being functionalist and marxist respectively.

 

Micro theories on the other hand, focus on the individuals who make up the society unlike macro theory which looks at the society as a whole. Micro theories are small scale. Consider it a magnifying glass, when you look through it, you 'zoom' in to the society and see the individuals who have made up that particular society.

 

Symbolic interactionism is the sociological perspective which is most closely linked to microsociology.

Q:

If the following structure is written to a file using fwrite(), can fread() read it back successfully?

struct emp

{

    char *n;

    int age;

};

struct emp e = { "Sujay",15};

FILE *fp;

fwrite (&e, sizeof (e), 1, fp);

Answer

No, since the structure contains a char pointer while writing the structure to the disk using fwrite() only the value stored in the pointer n would get written. When this structure is read back the address would be read back but it is quite unlikely that the desired string would be present at this address in memory

Q:

Suppose you have a computional circuit between two registers driven by a clock. What will you do if the delay of the combinational circuit is greater than your clock signal?

Answer

Use the concept of register-retiming.


divide the totla combinatorial delay in two segments such that individually the delay is less the clock period.


this can be done by inserting a flip-flop in the combinational path.


e.g.,


clock period --- 5 ns


total cominational delay ---- 7


then divide the 7ns path in two path of 4 or 3 (best resutls are obtained if delays are  same for both path i.e 3.5ns) by inserting a flip-flop in between.
