Suppose L = { p, q, r, s, t } is a lattice represented by the following Hasse diagram: For any $$x, y ∈ L$$, not necessarily distinct, $$x ∨ y$$ and x ∧ y are join and meet of x, y, respectively. Let $$L^3 = \left\{\left(x, y, z\right): x, y, z ∈ L\right\}$$ be the set of all ordered triplets of the elements of L. Let p_r be the probability that an element $$\left(x, y,z\right) ∈ L^3$$ chosen equiprobably satisfies $$x ∨ (y ∧ z) = (x ∨ y) ∧ (x ∨ z)$$. Then

In the LU decomposition of the matrix $$\left[ {\matrix{ 2 & 2 \cr 4 & 9 \cr } } \right]$$, if the diagonal elements of U are both 1, then the lower diagonal entry $${l_{22}}$$ of L is ________.

A file is organized so that the ordering of data records is the same as or close to the ordering of data entries in some index. Then that index is called

Suppose the following disk request sequence (track numbers) for a disk with 100 tracks is given:

45, 20, 90, 10, 50, 60, 80, 25, 70.

Assume that the initial position of the R/W head is on track 50. The additional distance that will be traversed by the R/W head when the Shortest Seek Time First (SSTF) algorithm is used compared to the SCAN (Elevator) algorithm (assuming that SCAN algorithm moves towards 100 when it starts execution) is____________ tracks.
