Q:

Computer storage units smallest to largest?

Answer

The smallest unit of data storage in a computer is called Bit (Binary Digit). Half a byte (four bits) is called a Nibble.


 


1 bit (binary digit) = the value of 0 or 1


8 bits = 1 byte


1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte


1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte


1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte


1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte


1024 terabytes = 1 petabyte


 


Hence, Computer storage units smallest to largest i.e, in ascending order is


 1 bit  <  1 byte  <  1 KB  <  1 MB  <  1 GB  <  1TB  <  1 PB.

Q:

In 1990 a person is 15 years old. In 2000 that same person is 5 years old. How can this be possible?

Answer

 It can be possible in only B.C. i.e, Before Christ. That was about 2000 years ago.


 Given, 


 In 1990 B.C = 2000 + 1990 = 3990 years ago, a person is 15 years Old  


=> In 1995 B.C = 2000 + 1995 = 3995 years ago, the same person will be 10 years Old 


Therefore, In 2000 B.C = 2000 + 2000 = 4000 years ago, the same person will be 5 years Old.

Q:

5 men and 3 boys can together cultivate a 23 acre field in 4 days and 3 men and 2 boys together can cultivate a 7 acre field in 2 days. How many boys will be needed together with 7 men, if they cultivate 45 acre of field in 6 days.

A) 6 B) 4
C) 2 D) 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2

Explanation:

Let work done by 1 man in i day be m

and Let work done by 1 boy in 1 day be b

From the given data,

4(5m + 3b) = 23

20m + 12b = 23....(1)

2(3m + 2b) = 7

6m + 4b = 7 ....(2)

By solving (1) & (2), we get

m = 1, b = 1/4

Let the number of required boys = n

6(7 1 + n x 1/4) = 45

=> n = 2.

Q:

Three taps I, J and K can fill a tank in 20,30and 40 minutes respectively. All the taps are opened simultaneously and after 5 minutes tap A was closed and then after 6 minutes tab B was closed .At the moment a leak developed which can empty the full tank in 70 minutes. What is the total time taken for the completely full ?

A) 24.315 minutes B) 26.166 minutes
C) 22.154 minutes D) 24 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 26.166 minutes

Explanation:

Upto first 5 minutes I, J and K will fill => 5[(1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40)] = 65/120


For next 6 minutes, J and K will fill => 6[(1/30)+(1/40)] = 42/120


So tank filled upto first 11 minutes = (65/120) + (42/120) = 107/120
So remaining tank = 13/120


Now at the moment filling with C and leakage @ 1/60 per minute= (1/40) - (1/70) = 3/280.
So time taken to fill remaining 13/120 tank =(13/120) /(3/280) = 91/6 minutes

 

Hence total time taken to completely fill the tank = 5 + 6 + 91/6 = 26.16 minutes.
