๐Ÿ“ Sample Questions

Q1. If a burst error flips 3 consecutive bits in a byte, which of the following statements best describes the likely impact on a simple even parity check?

๐Ÿ”น A. The parity check will always detect the error.
๐Ÿ”น B. The parity check may fail to detect the error.
๐Ÿ”น C. The parity check will correct the error automatically.
๐Ÿ”น D. The parity check becomes irrelevant for burst errors.

๐Ÿ’ก Difficulty: easy | โœ… Correct: B

Q2. A communication link uses a 2โ€‘bit checksum for error detection. If a burst error affecting 4 bits occurs, what can be inferred about the probability that the error goes undetected compared to a singleโ€‘bit error?

๐Ÿ”น A. The probability is higher for the burst error.
๐Ÿ”น B. The probability is lower for the burst error.
๐Ÿ”น C. The probability is the same for both error types.
๐Ÿ”น D. The checksum can always detect burst errors.

๐Ÿ’ก Difficulty: medium | โœ… Correct: A

Q3. Differentiate the detection capability of a CRC with a degreeโ€‘3 polynomial versus a degreeโ€‘4 polynomial for burst errors up to length 3. Which statement is correct?

๐Ÿ”น A. Both detect all burst errors up to length 3.
๐Ÿ”น B. Degreeโ€‘3 detects all, degreeโ€‘4 detects only some.
๐Ÿ”น C. Degreeโ€‘4 detects all, degreeโ€‘3 may miss some.
๐Ÿ”น D. Neither can guarantee detection of bursts of length 3.

๐Ÿ’ก Difficulty: hard | โœ… Correct: C
