4. The light key split is ______ whereas high key split is _______
a) Not sharp, sharp
b) Sharp, sharp
c) Sharp, not sharp
d) Not sharp, not sharp
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The lightkey split is sharp whereas high key split is not.

5. Why is column pressure fixed after design problems are solved?
a) Because the answer of design problems is column pressure
b) The design problems are independent of column pressure
c) The design problems are difficult
d) The design problems do not use column pressure while solving
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Since there are no available algorithms for solving design problems, the design problems are difficult. Hence column pressure is decided later.
