Q:

Vinod have 20 rupees. He bought 1, 2, 5 rupee stamps. They are different in numbers by the reason of no change, the shop keeper gives 3 one rupee stamps. So how many stamps Vinod have ?

A) 10 B) 18
C) 12 D) 15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10

Explanation:

Given total rupees = 20 Rs
No. of one rupee stamps = 3
Now, remaining money = Rs. 17
With that he buys only 2 and 5 rupee stamps
Let number of Rs. 5 stamps = K
Let number of Rs. 2 stamps = L
5K + 2L = 17
K = 3, L = 1 (possible)
L = 6, K = 1 (possible)
=> But given that they are different in number so, K is not equal to 3
one rupee stamps = 3
2 two stamps = 6
5 rupee stamps = 1
Total number of stamps = 10.

Q:

x = y - (50/y), where x and y are both > 0 

If the value of y is doubled in the equation above, the value of x will

A) decrease B) stay the same
C) increase four fold D) increase to more than double
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) increase to more than double

Explanation:

The best approach is to pick a number that satisfies the rules that x and y are greater than 0. So for example you could choose 25 for y.

The value of x before doubling is then 25 - 50/25 = 23

The value after doubling y will be 50 - 50/50 = 49, which is more than double.

Q:

The Computer size was very large in

A) Fourth Generation B) Third Generation
C) Second Generation D) First Generation
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) First Generation

Explanation:

The First Generation Computers size was very large. 

 

Since the First generation computers used 1000s of vacuum tubes that required lot of space made them gigantic in size. Single transistor could replace 1000 vacuum tubes and a single IC chip replaced 1000s of transistors made computers smaller and more speedy.

 

It is obvious that computers developed with more power, reliability, speed and smaller sizes due to the enhancement of technology.
