Q:

If each edge of a cube is increased by 50%, find the percentage increase in Its surface area

A) 125%	B) 150%
C) 175%	D) 110%

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 125%

Explanation:

Let the edge = a cm

So increase by 50 % = a + a/2 = 3a/2

Total surface Area of original cube = $6 a^{2}$

TSA of new cube = $6 {(\frac{3 a}{2})}^{2}$ = $6 (\frac{9 a^{2}}{4})$ = $13.5 a^{2}$

Increase in area = $13.5 a^{2} - 6 a^{2}$ = $7.5 a^{2}$

$7.5 a^{2}$ Increase % = $\frac{7.5 a^{2}}{6 a^{2}} \times 100$ = 125%

Q:

Find the number of bricks, each measuring 24 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm, required to construct a wall 24 m long, 8m high and 60 cm thick, if 10% of the wall is filled with mortar?

A) 35000	B) 45000
C) 55000	D) 65000

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 45000

Explanation:

Volume of the wall = (2400 x 800 x 60) cu.cm

Volume of bricks = 90% of the volume of the wall

= [(90/100) x 2400 x 800 x 60] cu.cm

Volume of 1 brick = (24 x 12 x 8) cu.cm

Number of bricks = [(90/100) x (2400 x 800 x 60) ]/ (24 x 12 x 8) = 45000

Q:

I forgot the last digit of a 7-digit telephone number. If 1 randomly dial the final 3 digits after correctly dialing the first four, then what is the chance of dialing the correct number?

A) 1/999	B) 1/1001
C) 1/1000	D) 4/1000

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/1000

Explanation:

It is given that last three digits are randomly dialled. then each of the digit can be selected out of 10 digits in 10 ways.
Hence required probability = ${(\frac{1}{10})}^{3}$ = 1/1000

Q:

In a charity show tickets numbered consecutively from 101 through 350 are placed in a box. What is the probability that a ticket selected at random (blindly) will have a number with a hundredth digit of 2?

A) 0.25	B) 0.5
C) 0.75	D) 0.40

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 0.40

Explanation:

250 numbers between 101 and 350 i.e. n(S)=250

n(E)=100th digits of 2 = 299−199 = 100

P(E)= n(E)/n(S) = 100/250 = 0.40

Q:

What is pre-emptive and non-preemptive scheduling?

Answer

Preemptive scheduling: The preemptive scheduling is prioritized. The highest priority process should always be the process that is currently utilized.

Non-Preemptive scheduling: When a process enters the state of running, the state of that process is not deleted from the scheduler until it finishes its service time.

Q:

If x is chosen at random from the set {1,2,3,4} and y is to be chosen at random from the set {5,6,7}, what is the probability that xy will be even?

A) 1/2	B) 2/3
C) 3/4	D) 4/3

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2/3

Explanation:

S ={(1,5),(1,6),(1,7),(2,5),(2,6),(2,7),(3,5),(3,6),(3,7),(4,5),(4,6),(4,7)}
Total element n(S)=12

xy will be even when even x or y or both will be even.
Events of x, y being even is E.
E ={(1,6),(2,5),(2,6),(2,7),(3,6),(4,5),(4,6),(4,7)}
n(E) = 8

P(E)=n(E)n(S)=812 = 4/3
