What is the output of the following code shown?
syms a k; symsum(a^k, 0, Inf)
Error due to an unmentioned value of a
Error due to Inf
Inf
1/1-a
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option DExplanation
The correct answer is 1/1-a
MATLAB will return an answer intuitively while considering symbolic summations. Here, MATLAB will return an answer which is plausible to a condition.

The result of cumsum([1,2,3]) and sum([3,3]) are ______
Signed numbers
Absolute numbers
Different
Same
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option CExplanation
The correct answer is Different
The result of cumsum([1 2 3]) is 1,3,6 i.e the result is a row vector having output after adding up each element cumulatively while the result of sum([3 3]) is only 6

The function to find the R.M.S value is __________
sqrt[meansqr()]
sqrt(meansqr[])
sqrt[meansqr[]]
sqrt(meansqr())
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option DExplanation
The correct syntax of the function which performs the mean square of a set of elements is meansqr(). The correct syntax of the function which returns the square root of a number is sqrt()

What is the output of the following code?
prod(1:NaN)
NaN
1
Error
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option AExplanation
The correct answer is NaN
The range, we have defined, from 1 consists of NaN. The product of any number with NaN will give an output NaN

What is the output of the following command?
spalloc(2,3, 7)
Error
A 3*2 sparse matrix
Memory is allocated for a 2*3 sparse matrix
A 2*3 sparse matrix
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option CExplanation
The correct answer is Memory is allocated for a 2*3 sparse matrix
The scallops command will allocate memory for the 2*3 matrix due to the above code. There will be no error.

What is the output of the following code?
A=[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];if( nzmax(A)==nzmax(spones(A) ) disp(‘Yeah !’)
Output suppressed
Yeah!
Error
No output
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option DExplanation
The correct answer is No output
There is no error in the above code. Since, if the command is not ended, no output will be generated. If the if command was ended, the output would’ve been Yeah !.

Returns a sparse matrix with the non-zeros replaced by random numbers
Returns a sparse matrix with the non-zeros replaced by fractions
Returns a sparse matrix with the zeros replaced by ones
Returns a sparse matrix with the non-zeros replaced by normally distributed random numbers
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option CExplanation
The spines command returns a sparse matrix with ones replaced by zeros. Hence, Returns a sparse matrix with the zeros replaced by ones that are correct while the rest of the options are incorrect.
Output:
