The enter_CS() and leave_CS() functions to implement critical section of a process are realized using test-and-set instruction as follows:
void enter_CS(X) { 
   while test-and-set(X) ; 
} 

void leave_CS(X) { 
  X=0; 
}
In the above solution, X is a memory location associated with the CS and is initialized to 0. Now consider the following statements:

I. The above solution to CS problem is deadlock-free
II. The solution is starvation free.
III. The processes enter CS in FIFO order.
IV More than one process can enter CS at the same time.

Which of the above statements is TRUE?
A
I only
B
I and II
C
II and III
D
IV only

The coupling between different modules of a software is categorized as follows
$${\rm I}.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Content coupling
$${\rm II}.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Common coupling
$${\rm III}.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Control coupling
$${\rm IV}.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Stamp coupling
$${\rm V}.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Data coupling
Coupling between modules can be ranked in the order of strongest (least desirable) to weakest (most desirable) as follows.
A
$${\rm I} - {\rm I}{\rm I} - {\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I} - {\rm I}V - V$$
B
$$V - {\rm I}V - {\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I} - {\rm I}{\rm I} - {\rm I}$$
C
$${\rm I} - {\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I} - V - {\rm I}{\rm I} - {\rm I}V$$
D
$${\rm I}V - {\rm I}{\rm I} - V - {\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I} - {\rm I}$$

Consider the following statements about the cyclomatic complexity of the control flow graph of a program module. Which of these are TRUE?

$${\rm I}.\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ The cyclomatic complexity of a module is equal to the maximum number of
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$linearly independent circuits in the graph.
$${\rm II}.\,\,\,$$ The cyclomatic complexity of a module is the number of decisions in the
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$module plus one, where a decision is effectively any conditional statement in
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$the module.
$${\rm III}\,$$ The cyclomatic complexity can also be used as a number of linearly
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$independent paths that should be tested during path coverage testing.

A
$${\rm I}$$ & $${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$
B
$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$ & $${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$
C
$${\rm I}$$ & $${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$
D
$${\rm I}$$, $${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$ & $${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$

$${\rm IV}.\,\,$$ A data store can be connected either to another data store or to an external
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$entity.
