Consider a hash table of size seven, with starting index zero, and a hash function (3x + 4)mod7. Assuming the hash table is initially empty, which of the following is the contents of the table when the sequence 1, 3, 8, 10 is inserted into the table using closed hashing? Note that ‘_’ denotes an empty location in the table.

Consider the following two statements:
i. A hash function (these are often used for computing digital signatures) is an injective function.
ii. encryption technique such as DES performs a permutation on the elements of its input alphabet.
Which one of the following options is valid for the above two statements?

The following postfix expression with single digit operands is evaluated using a stack: 8 2 3 ^ / 2 3 * + 5 1 * - Note that ^ is the exponentiation operator. The top two elements of the stack after the first * is evaluated are:

What is the largest integer m such that every simple connected graph with n vertices and n edges contains at least m different spanning trees?
