Answer:
a) Speedup gain is 1.428 times.
b) Speedup gain is 1.81 times.
Explanation:
in order to calculate the speedup again of an application that has a 60 percent parallel component using Anklahls Law is speedup which state that:

Where S is the portion of the application that must be performed serially, and N is the number of processing cores.
(a) For N = 2 processing cores, and a 60%, then S = 40% or 0.4
Thus, the speedup is:

Speedup gain is 1.428 times.
(b) For N = 4 processing cores and a 60%, then S = 40% or 0.4
Thus, the speedup is:

Speedup gain is 1.81 times.
Answer:
C. Offset.
Explanation:
An offset operator can be defined as an integer that typically illustrates or represents the distance in bytes, ranging from the beginning of an object to the given point (segment) of the same object within the same data structure or array. Also, the distance in an offset operator is only valid when all the elements present in the object are having the same size, which is mainly measured in bytes.
Hence, the offset operator returns the distance in bytes, of a label from the beginning of its enclosing segment, added to the segment register.
For instance, assuming the object Z is an array of characters or data structure containing the following elements "efghij" the fifth element containing the character "i" is said to have an offset of four (4) from the beginning (start) of Z.

Just a guess, maybe you’ve been reported for having an incorrect answer two times? I’m really not sure I’m just trying to give out possibilities. Maybe if your a Brainly Helper you haven’t been active so they are giving you warnings? Does clicking on the warning tell you the reason for them? Maybe the system thinks your a robot? I’m not sure just trying to give possible reasons, but you could try contacting customer support, but they aren’t always the quickest at responding.
Have a good day!
