Q:

Processor's speed of a computer is measured in

A) Hertz B) Baud
C) MIPS D) BPS
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Hertz

Explanation:

CPU speed is the central factor in a computer's performance. And this CPU speed depends on the processor in the CPU chip. In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses per second generated by an oscillator that sets the tempo for the processor. Clock speed is usually measured in Hertz (Hz).

 

But now-a-days, a pure processor's performance is measured in MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per Second). As here in the question, how a processor's speed is measured is asked and it is Hertz. 

 

Hence, Processor's speed of a computer is measured in Hertz(Hz) [MHz, GHz].

Q:

Sweety is 54 years old and her mother is 80. How many years ago was Sweety's mother three times her age?

A) 20 B) 41
C) 26 D) 33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 41

Explanation:

Given P = 54 and M = 80

According to the question,

Let ‘A’ years ago, M = 3P

=> M - A/P - A = 3

=> 80 - A = 3(54 - A)

=> 80 - A = 162 - 3A

=> 2A = 82

=> A = 41

Therefore, A = 41 years ago Sweety’s mother was 3 times of Sweety’s age.

Hence, at the age S = 13 and M = 39.

Q:

Why is Golden Rice pale yellow in color?

A) Rich in Beta-Carotene B) Rich in Phycobilins
C) Rich in Chlorophyll D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rich in Beta-Carotene

Explanation:

Golden Rice (Oryza sativa) denotes a genetically modified rice capable of biosynthesizing and accumulating β-carotene (provitamin A) in the endosperm, yielding a characteristic yellow color in the polished grains. Golden rice was developed to help cope with vitamin A deficiency, a problem that prevails in developing countries, affecting millions (Underwood, 2000; UNICEF, 2000). Vitamin A deficiency causes mortality and growth retardation in children and frequently impairs vision, leading to blindness. It also contributes indirectly to anemia by interfering with iron bioavailability.

 

The endosperm of Golden Rice (Oryza sativa) is yellow due to the accumulation of β-carotene (provitamin A) and xanthophylls. The product of the two carotenoid biosynthesis transgenes used in Golden Rice results in Pale Yellow color.

Q:

Rajesh rows in still water with a speed of 4.5 kmph to go to a certain place and comes back. Find his average speed for the whole journey, if the river is flowing with a speed of 1.5 kmph?

A) 2 kmph B) 4 kmph
C) 6 kmph D) 8 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4 kmph

Explanation:

Let the distance in one direction = k kms

Speed in still water = 4.5 kmph

Speed of river = 1.5

Hence, speed in upstream = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 kmph

Speed in downstream = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 kmph

Time taken by Rajesh to row upwards = k/3 hrs

Time taken by Rajesh to row downwards = k/6 hrs

Now, required Average speed =Total distanceTotal speed = 2kk3 + k6 = 2k x 186k + 3k = 4 kmph 

 

Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey = 4kmph.
