Consider the following $$2 \times 2$$ matrix $$A$$ where two elements are unknown and are marked by $$a$$ and $$b.$$ The eigenvalues of this matrix ar $$-1$$ and $$7.$$ What are the values of $$a$$ and $$b$$?
$$A = \left( {\matrix{ 1 & 4 \cr b & a \cr } } \right)$$

For a set A, the power set of A is denoted by 2^A. If A = {5, {6}, {7}}, which of the following options are TRUE?

I. $$\phi \in {2^A}$$
II. $$\phi \subseteq {2^A}$$
III. $$\left\{ {5,\left\{ 6 \right\}} \right\} \in {2^A}$$
IV. $$\left\{ {5,\left\{ 6 \right\}} \right\} \subseteq {2^A}$$

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 ________.

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.
