Q:

CD-ROM is a semiconductor memory.

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

"CD-ROM is a semiconductor memory" is a FALSE statement.


 


Compact Disc-Read-Only Memory, a type of optical disk capable of storing large amounts of data -- up to 1GB, although the most common size is 650MB (megabytes). A single CD-ROM has the storage capacity of 700 floppy disks, enough memory to store about 300,000 textpages.


 


Semiconductor memory is a type of semiconductor device tasked with storing data. There are two electronic data storage mediums that we can utilize, magnetic or optical.


 


Magnetic storage:


* Stores data in magnetic form.


* Affected by magnetic fields.


* Has high storage capacity.


* Doesn't use a laser to read/write data.


* Magnetic storage devices are; Hard disk , Floppy disk, Magnetic tape etc.


 


Optical storage:


* Stores data optically, uses laser to read/write.


* Not affected by magnetic fields.


* Has less storage than a hard disk.


* Data accessing is high, compared to a floppy disc.


* Optical storage devices are; CD-ROM,CD-R, CD-RW, DVD etc.


 


There is also volatile memory. This is memory that loses its data once power is cut off, while non-volatile memory retains data even without power.

Q:

The length of the room is 5.5m and width is 3.75m. Find the cost of paving the floor by slabs at the rate of Rs.800 per sq meter

A) Rs.16500 B) Rs.15500
C) Rs.17500 D) Rs.18500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.16500

Explanation:

l=5.5m w=3.75m
area of the floor = 5.5 x 3.75 = 20.625 sq m
cost of paving = 800 x 20.625 = Rs. 16500

Q:

A bag contains 4 red and 3 black balls. A second bag contains 2 red and 4 black balls. One bag is selected at random. From the selected bag, one ball is drawn. Find the probability that the ball drawn is red.

A) 23/42 B) 19/42
C) 7/32 D) 16/39
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 19/42

Explanation:

A red ball can be drawn in two mutually exclusive ways

 (i) Selecting bag I and then drawing a red ball from it.

 

(ii) Selecting bag II and then drawing a red ball from it.

 

Let E1, E2 and A denote the events defined as follows:

E1 = selecting bag I,

E2 = selecting bag II

A = drawing a red ball

Since one of the two bags is selected randomly, therefore 

P(E1) = 1/2  and  P(E2) = 1/2

Now, PAE1 = Probability of drawing a red ball when the first bag has been selected = 4/7

  PAE2  = Probability of drawing a red ball when the second bag has been selected = 2/6

 Using the law of total probability, we have 

 P(red ball) = P(A) = PE1×PAE1+PE2×PAE2 

 

                          = 12×47+12×26=1942

A) 5 B) 4
C) 13 D) 15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5

Explanation:

The given number series is 9 7 10 6 11 ?

Here in this we have two number sequences, they are

9, 10, 11, ... and 7, 6, 5, ...

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 6 - 1 = 5.

Q:

A large field of 700 hectares is divided into two parts. The difference of the areas of the two parts is one-fifth of the average of the two areas. What is the area of the smaller part in hectares?

A) 315 B) 385
C) 415 D) 485
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 315

Explanation:

Let the areas of the two parts be x and (700-x) hectares

therefore, x-700-x=15x+700-x2

 2x-700=70

 x=385

So, the two parts are 385 and 315.

 Hence, Area of the smaller = 315 hectares

Q:

In a queue, Amrita is 10th from the front while Mukul is 25th from behind and Mamta is just in the middle of the two. If there be 50 persons in the queue. What position does Mamta occupy from the front ?

A) 14th B) 16th
C) 18th D) 20th
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 18th

Explanation:

Number of persons between Amrita and Mukul = 50 - (10 + 25) = 15. Since Mamta lies in middle of these 15 persons, so Mamta`s position is 8th from Amrita i.e. 18th from the front.

Q:

The area of a rectangle is 460 square metres. If the length is 15% more than the breadth, what is the breadth of the rectangular field?

A) 20 m B) 30 m
C) 40 m D) 50 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20 m

Explanation:

Let breadth=x meters.   Then, Length =115x100 meters 

Given that, x×115x100=460  

=> x = 20  

Breadth = 20
