Question

If $S_1$ is total number of modules defined in the program architecture, $S_3$ is the number of modules whose correct function depends on prior processing then the number of modules not dependent on prior processing is :

The correct answer is
$1 - \frac{S_3}{S_1}$

Module Processing Dependency Analysis

The question asks for the number or proportion of modules in a program architecture that are *not* dependent on prior processing.

Given:

  • $S_1$: Total number of modules.
  • $S_3$: Number of modules dependent on prior processing.

We need to find the count or proportion of modules that are independent of prior processing.

Calculating Non-Dependent Modules

The modules that are not dependent on prior processing are the total modules minus those that are dependent.

  • Number of non-dependent modules = Total modules - Dependent modules
  • Number of non-dependent modules = $S_1 - S_3$

However, the options provided are in the form of fractions or proportions relative to $S_1$. This implies the question is likely asking for the *proportion* of modules not dependent on prior processing.

Determining the Proportion

To find the proportion of non-dependent modules:

  1. Calculate the number of non-dependent modules: $S_1 - S_3$.
  2. Divide this number by the total number of modules ($S_1$):
  3. $ \text{Proportion} = \frac{S_1 - S_3}{S_1} $
  4. Simplify the expression:
  5. $ \text{Proportion} = \frac{S_1}{S_1} - \frac{S_3}{S_1} $ $ \text{Proportion} = 1 - \frac{S_3}{S_1} $

This result represents the fraction of modules that do not rely on prior processing.
