We have three containers whose sizes are 10 pints, 7 pints, and 4 pints, respectively. The 7-pint and 4-pint containers start ou

t full of water, but the 10-pint container is initially empty. - We are allowed one type of operation: pouring the contents of one container into another, stopping only when the source container is empty or the destination container is full. - We want to know if there is a sequence of pourings that leaves exactly 2 pints in the 7- or 4-pint container.

Answer:

Here’s a way to solve this:

(7/7,4/4,0/10) Æ (7/7, 0/4, 4/10) Æ(1/7, 0/4, 10/10) Æ (1/7, 4/4, 6/10), (5/7, 0/4, 6/10) Æ  

(5/7, 4/4, 2/10) Æ (7/7, 2/4, 2/10), hence we end up with 2 pints in the 4‐pint container .

 To model this as a graph problem, we represent each potential state of the three containers with an ordered pair (A,B), where A represents the amount of water in the 7‐pint container and B represents the amount of water in the 4‐pint container.   

Hence the initial state would be(7,4).  Note that we do not need an ordered triple as we know the total amount of water in all three containers (11 pints). Therefore, the total state is completely determined by water in the 7 and 4 pint containers.  

Hence, we have 5 x 8 = 40 possible states for the system.  We model these states as nodes in a directed graph and draw an edge from one node to another node if we can go from the configuration represented by one node to the configuration represented by another node through one pour.  

For example, there would be an edge from (7,4) to (0,4) but  no edge from (1,3) to (5,1).   

Thus, if we can find a path from one node to another, then we can go from one state to another

through a series of pourings.  The nodes are represented in the attached file (the edges are left out).

Explanation:

Since we want to find a path from (7,4) to one of the nodes contained in one of the rectangles.  Our solution above is depicted in the attached file

Looking at the graph in attachment, we will start at node (7,4) and run DFS to see if we can reach one of the nodes boxed by a rectangle (i.e. has 2 as one of the coordinates).  If we can, then there is a solution.  

Otherwise, there is no way to have two liters in one of the containers through a series of pouring from

the original state of (7/7,4/4,0/10).

Answer:

Yes, there is a sequence, and at the end of the sequence the following arrangement will be in each container;

10-pint container will contain 2 pints of water

7-pint container will contain 7 pints of water

4-pint container will contain 2 pints of water

Explanation:

The 7- and 4-pint containers are full, while the 10-pint container is initially full.

The following steps are followed;

1. pour the content of the 7-pint container into the 10-pint container, and pour 3-pint of water from the 4-pint container to fill up the 10-pint container, leaving the following in the three containers

10-pint container will contain 10 pints of water

7-pint container will contain 0 pints of water

4-pint container will contain 1 pints of water

2. Next, pour the 1 pint of water from the 4-pint container into the 7-pint container, and in turn pour from the 10-pint container into the 4-pint container until it is full, leaving the following in the three containers;

10-pint container will contain 6 pints of water

7-pint container will contain 1 pints of water

4-pint container will contain 4 pints of water

3. next, pour all the content of the 4-pint container into the 7-pint container, and refill the 4-pint container by pouring into it from the 10-pint container, leaving the following in the 3 containers;

10-pint container will contain 2 pints of water

7-pint container will contain 5 pints of water

4-pint container will contain 4 pints of water

4, Finally, pour from the 4-pint container into the 7-pint container until it is full, leaving the following in the 3 containers;

10-pint container will contain 2 pints of water

7-pint container will contain 7 pints of water

4-pint container will contain 2 pints of water.

There you go, this sequence leaves 2-pint of water in the 4-pint container.

In a block of addresses we know the IP address of one host is Roll no. Roll no. Roll no. Roll no./20.What is the first address a
lesya [120]

Answer:

If there’s one topic that trips people up (both new and experienced) in the networking industry, it is that of Subnetting.

One of the reasons this happens is that one has to perform (mental) calculations in decimal and also binary. Another reason is that many people have not had enough practice with subnetting.

In this article, we will discuss what Subnetting is, why it came about, its usefulness, and how to do subnetting the proper way. To make this article as practical as possible, we will go through many examples.

Note: While subnetting applies to both IPv4 and IPv6, this article will only focus on IPv4. The same concepts explained here can be applied to IPv6. Moreover, subnetting in IPv6 is more of a want rather than a necessity because of the large address space.

IP address network

For example, any traffic with a destination IP address of 192.168.1.101 will be delivered to PC1, while traffic addressed to 192.168.1.250 will be delivered to SERVER.

Note: This is an oversimplification of things just for understanding sake and refers to Unicast (one-to-one) IPv4 addresses. Traffic sent to Multicast (one-to-many) and Broadcast (one-to-all) IP addresses can be delivered to multiple devices. Also, features like Network Address Translation (NAT) allow one IP address to be shared by multiple devices.

To help your understanding of IP addresses and subnetting, you need to resolve the following fact in your head: Computers think in binary, that is, 0s and 1s. Therefore, even though we see an IP address represented like 192.168.1.250, it is actually just a string of bits – 32 bits in total for IPv4 addresses.

To make them more readable for humans, IPv4 addresses are represented in dotted decimal notation where the 32 bits are divided into 4 blocks of 8 bits (also known as an octet), and each block is converted to a decimal number.

For example, 01110100 in binary is 116 in decimal:

A unicast IPv4 address such as 192.168.1.250 can be divided into two parts: Network portion and Host ID. So what does this mean? Well, IPv4 addresses were originally designed based on classes: Class A to Class E. Multicast addresses are assigned from the Class D range while Class E is reserved for experimental use, leaving us with Class A to C:

Class A: Uses the first 8 bits for the Network portion leaving 24 bits for host IDs. The leftmost bit is set to “0”.

Class B: Uses the first 16 bits for the Network portion leaving 16 bits for host IDs. The two leftmost bits are set to “10”.

Class C: Uses the first 24 bits for the Network portion leaving 8 bits for host IDs. The three leftmost bits are set to “110”.

Note: The range of Class A is actually 1-126 because 0.x.x.x and 127.x.x.x are reserved.

With these classes, a computer/device can look at the first three bits of any IP address and determine what class it belongs to. For example, the 192.168.1.250 IP address clearly falls into the Class C range.

Looking at the Host ID portion of the classes, we can determine how many hosts (or number of individual IP addresses) a network in each class will support. For example, a Class C network will ideally support up to 256 host IDs i.e. from 00000000 (decimal 0) to 11111111 (decimal 255). However, two of these addresses cannot be assigned to hosts because the first (all 0s) represents the network address while the last (all 1s) represents the broadcast address. This leaves us with 254 host IDs. A simple formula to calculate the number of hosts supported

Explanation: Final answer is Start address: 192.168.58.0 + 1 = 192.168.58.1

End address: 192.168.58.16 – 2 = 192.168.58.14

Broadcast address: 192.168.58.16 – 1 = 192.168.58.15
