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.

At 9 o’clock, the hour hand is at 9 and the minutes hand is at 12, i.e., the two hands are 15 min. spaces apart.
So, the minute hand should gain = (30 - 15) minutes = 15 minutes
55 minutes will be gained in 60 min.
15 minutes spaces will be gained in ((60/55) x 15) min. = 180/11 min.
The hands will be in the same straight line but not together i.e.,in 180 degrees at 180/11 min. past 9.

A book has a spine to hold all the pages, but it has no bones.

Draw the diagram. The diagonal of the rectangle is the diameter of the circle. The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a 3,4,5 triangle and is therefore, 5.

Circumference = π.diameter = 5π

If yesterday were tomorrow, today is Friday => tomorrow of friday is Saturday.

Hence, it implies that today is Sunday if tomorrow is Saturday.

Clearly A whishes to study the degree of effect of pay revision on job satisfaction of employees.This means that job satisfaction can be measured and A is capable of making such a study.So,both are not implicit

4/10 + 9/x = 1     => x = 15 

Then both can do in 

1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6     => 6 days

Since at 4 : 20 the minute hand will be at 4 and the angle between them will be same as the distance covered in degree by the hour hand in 20 minutes.

Required angle = distance of hour hand = speed × time = 12× 20 =10 degrees.
