Q:

2/3 as a decimal

A) 0.47 B) 6.77
C) 0.67 D) 0.07
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 0.67

Explanation:

To convert a fraction into decimal, just take the number on top which we called the numerator and divide it by the number at the bottom which we called the denominator.

2/3

How it comes :

÷ 0 bring down the decimal point.

20 ÷ 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20

20 ÷ 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20

20 ÷ 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20

etc...

This gives the recurring decimal 0.6666...

If we round off to two decimals , then it becomes 0.67.

 

Hence, decimal fraction of 2/3 = 0.67.

Q:

Find the compound interest on Rs. 2680 at 8% per annum for 2 years ?

A) Rs. 664.21 B) Rs. 548.68
C) Rs. 445.95 D) Rs. 692.57
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 445.95

Explanation:

We know Compound Interest = C.I. = P1+r100t - 1

Here P = 2680, r = 8 and t = 2

C.I. = 26801 + 81002-1= 268027252-12= 26802725+12725-1= 2680 5225×225

= (2680 x 52 x 2)/625

= 445.95

 

Compound Interest = Rs. 445.95

Q:

Is DRAM Volatile or Nonvolatile?

Answer

DRAM is a Volatile random-access memory (VRAM).


 


Volatile random-access memory (VRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned on.


Examples of volatile memory are primary storage (typically dynamic RAM, DRAM), and fast CPU cache memory (typically static RAM, SRAM, which is fast but energy-consuming and offer lower memory capacity per area unit than DRAM).


Non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off.

Examples of non-volatile memory are flash memory (used as secondary memory) and ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM memory (used for storing firmware such as BIOS).
