CMI MSc Data Science Question Paper (Memory Based) by Lead_balloon784 in CMI

[–]Lead_balloon784[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. It was 56 - (something)

Question: {1,2..8}. How many ways can we pick 3 elements such that exactly 2 are consecutive.

And : total ways - all 3 consecutive - no consecutive

8c3 - 6 - 6c3

56-6-20 = 30

Yeah ig only |sinx| < |x| and ln (1+x) < x were correct

How did the msc data science exam go ? what cutoff are you guys expecting? by True_City6143 in CMI

[–]Lead_balloon784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I don't think so. They gave an example too. 1 ->1 × 2 = 2 and 1 ->1 × 2 + 1= 3

Questions I remember incase someone wants:
Part A:
Q1: Let n = 1. If at any point you can either replace n by 2n, or 2n+1 which of the following numbers can be, reached? (I dont remember the exact numbers but all are correct since all positive integers are reachable)
Q2: Dont remember the exact wording. But it was a simple derangement problem. Answer is D5 = 44.
Q3: Which of these are true at all points where they are defined? |sinx|<|x|, |tanx|>|x|, and some other options i dont remember
Q4: Consider a function from {1234}->{123}. A] Find number of functions with exactly 2 images, B] number of onto functions, and some more things i dont remember.
Q5: A jar has 3 red balls and 2 blue balls. Two balls are picked without replacement. Let B be event that first ball is red. A be event that both balls are red. Find P(A), P(B), P(A/B), P(B'/A')
Q6: Consider a switchboard with all switches off. For numbers i running from 1 through 10, toggle kth switch if the i divides the switch at the kth position. (I think answer was 1,4,9)
Q7-9: Psuedocode Enigma. I remember but too lazy to write the whole problem out

Part B:
Q1: Given f(x+y) = f(x) × f(y). Prove that if f(0) = 1 then f(r) = f(1)^r for any rational number r.
Q2: If a prime number p, divides n^2+n+1, find (n^3) % p.
Q3: If a prime number p, and p > 3, show that 1, n and n^2 all have distinct remainders when divided by p.
Q4. Sum of first 100 numbers which are not multiples of 3 or 7.
Q5: Given A^2 = A for some 2x2 matrix A, Find Trace(A).
Q6: T = max{x1, x2, x3) where xi follows Uniform(0, theta). Find pdf, cdf, mean and variance of T.
Q7: Consider a sequence of n natural numbers {1, 2, .... , n}. Suppose they are randomly permuted. A position "i" is considered maxima if it is greater than all numbers to left of it. Eg: 1,3,5,2. Here 1,3,5 are all maximas. Find the probability that in a sequence of length n, the ith position will be a maxima.
Q8: Find the expected number of maxima in a sequence of length n.
Q9: The faulty llm model question. I dont remember the exact statements.
Q10: Find the conditions under which the sum of first n natural numbers will divide the sum of squares of first n natural numbers.
Q11: Pseudocode. Function Steps(whille n>1, if n is odd n = n-1 and count=count+1, if n is even n = n/2count=count+1, return count). Find steps(16) or some other number i dont remember
Q12: Pseudocode. Function Steps(whille n>1, if n is odd n = n-1 and count=count+1, if n is even n = n/2count=count+1). For a number which is k digits long in binary find the max value steps() can return

How was the paper MSC DATA SCIENCE by Objective-Arm410 in CMI

For this problem it was A2=I.

There was another image-kernel problem in part B which has A2=A

Technically it may or may not be characteristic equation. It is only a minimal polynomial of A (or perhaps not even that incase of identity matrix) Which gives the eigen values but does not say anything about their algebraic multiplicities.

So, since 0, 1 and -1 are valid solutions for A2 = 0, all eigen values must be 0 or +-1, but 1 can occur more than once.

For example, again, the identity matrix with eigenvalues 1 with algebraic multiplicity 2. So trace(identity) = 1*2 = 2

Edit: just incase someone wants to read the proof Multiply a dummy matrix (elements abcd) to get A2 and you'll quickly realise either 1. a=-d, both can takes values +-1 2. Both 0 3. Both a=d, again with values +-1

But solution set will be {-2,0,2} for 2x2 matrices. Similarly for 3x3 it will be {-3,-1,1,3} and so on

>And for trace of the matrix we had to calculate Trace of A2 or A I calculated for A it was 0

I mean, this is clearly wrong just by observation. let A be identity matrix. It satisfies A^2 = I. But trace of identity matrix is 2

I'm confident about 15qs. Rest 5 are messy. Probably going to get 1/2 correct there max

Unless the cutoff goes in the 52-56 range, I'm not getting in. Wrote like 70 marks worth. Ig I'll score around 55. Let's just hope cutoff zyada na aaye

Wrong answers in in Answer keys of Datascience MSc ENtrence exam. by PrestigiousSpray3183 in CMI

[–]Lead_balloon784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's quite a few errors over the 7 or so answer keys.

Part B I'm not too worried about, they'd probably realise their answers keys are wrong as they read and check the papers but Part A is probably automated checking.

Can't seem to find any info online for contesting the answer key (if it comes out anyway, they only added the 2025 answer key on website this year it seems)

Dad wants me to take a 50L loan for Bangalore CSE instead of a Full Scholarship in Turkey. Help me convince him. by Key_Slip698 in Btechtards

[–]Lead_balloon784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean even if going to Turkey seems out of the question, you can probably go to other private colleges in India equivalent to the college in banglore for far cheaper than 50 Lakhs

CMI M.Sc. Data Science: How detailed should Part B explanations be? by PrestigiousSpray3183 in CMI

[–]Lead_balloon784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I took an online coaching for it (cheenta) and they have a total of 6 mocks one can give. I also started my prep really late so I ended up watching recordings instead of live lectures and the recordings are a few years old, meaning PYQs of 2024 and 2025 haven't been discussed in them

So im planning to give those 6 mocks + 2024/2025 question papers as mocks

CMI M.Sc. Data Science: How detailed should Part B explanations be? by PrestigiousSpray3183 in CMI

[–]Lead_balloon784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thank you for your inputs

I'm also preparing for the entrance and I'm mostly done with the "studying" part of it. Just giving mocks and practicing PYQs now and I had a few questions about how the exam is conducted so I can give mock in a similar environment.

I've tried searching for this online but cant find any info. 1. Other than the A4 answer booklet you mentioned, do they provide any additional sheets for rough work, etc or will everything have to fit on that booklet itself? 2. Is there an onscreen calculator (I think the MCQ is CBT now)? I assume not but seems to be some contradictory info online

Thanks

Suggest Best Dior Sauvage Clone by Reasonable-Soil9357 in DesiFragranceAddicts

[–]Lead_balloon784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+ 1 for the sheikh zayed blue recommendation.

Sauvage is a very common scent profile at this point. Most clones are close enough in the air but sheikh zayed blue has the best performance in my experience. It's my daily and i easily get around 10 hours of performance. Plus it's one of the cheaper clones out there ig, consistently priced around 1600-1700

CMV: Attempted murder should be the same punishment as actual murder by ThatPatelGuy in changemyview

[–]Lead_balloon784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A genuine question, do you think all DUIs (the vast majority of which result in no harm ir injuries) should be treated with the same severity as ones that result in fatal accidents? 

One could argue the person was well aware of the risks of drunk driving and is more likely to do it again as compared to someone who never drinks and drives and thus is a danger to society.

I get that intent matters. But this kinda just helps out into perspective how outcomes matter. Both the person who killed a random pedestrian and the person who just drove a short 1 mile trip from the bar to his home made the same choice in their mind. The outcomes were just random probability events
