Q:

Fish and other aquatic creatures can live inside a deep frozen pond because 

A) fish are cold-blooded animals B) ice is a bad conductor of heat
C) there will always be water just beneath the ice level D) they can adapt themselves to live in ice
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) there will always be water just beneath the ice level

Explanation:

Water has the maximum density at 4oC. So at this temperature, it sinks down to bottom and stays here. If it cools further, it will become less dense and move up. So while the upper layers can cool enough to form ice, the bottom layers remain as water at  4oC .  

Therefore, (C) is correct.

Q:

Which dml command is used in conjunction with @@identity?

A) INSERT and UPDATE B) UPDATE and DELETE
C) SCOPE_IDENTITY and IDENT_CURRENT D) Commit and rollback
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) SCOPE_IDENTITY and IDENT_CURRENT

Explanation:

Using automatically incrementing IDENTITY columns is very popular with database developers. You don’t need to explicitly calculate unique surrogate keys when inserting new data, the IDENTITY column functionality does that for you. The IDENTITY feature also allows you to specify useful Seed and Increment properties. When you use an INSERT statement to insert data into a table with an IDENTITY column defined, SQL Server will generate a new IDENTITY value.

 

You can use the @@IDENTITY variable and the SCOPE_IDENTITY and IDENT_CURRENT functions to return the last IDENTITY value that has been generated by SQL Server. This is very useful when you need to return the key for the row that has just been inserted, back to the caller.

Q:

Two trains start from same place at same time at right angles to each other. Their speeds are 36km/hr and 48km/hr respectively. After 30 seconds the distance between them will be ?

A) 900 mts B) 300 mts
C) 250 mts D) 500 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 500 mts

Explanation:

Using pythagarous theorem,
distance travelled by first train = 36x5/18x30 = 300m
distance travelled by second train = 48x5/18x30 = 400m
so distance between them =√( 90000 + 160000) = √250000 = 500mts.
