Distributed Computing's Question Papers!!!

Distributed Computing  -->>

These are the questions compiled together from all the previous years' question papers of Distributed Computing. So first try to prepare these topics and then go for the whole book. :-)

NOTE: The number in bracket denotes the number of times the question has been asked in previous exams.
