Answer : 4. "12% p.a."

Answer: D) 12% p.a. Explanation: If the interest earned is 25% more than the earlier interest then the rate of interest also should be 25% higher than the earlier rate. Let the earlier rate of interest be x%. Now it will be (x + 3)% % increase = (x + 3) - x/x * 100 = 25=> x = 12%

Answer : 3. "10"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 10 Explanation: Let the price of each note book be Rs.x. Let the number of note books which can be brought for Rs.300 each at a price of Rs.x be y. Hence xy = 300 => y = 300/x (x + 5)(y - 10) = 300 => xy + 5y - 10x - 50 = xy =>5(300/x) - 10x - 50 = 0 => -150+x2+5x multiplying both sides by -1/10x => x2+15x-10x-150=0 => x(x + 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0 => x = 10 or -15 As x>0, x = 10.

Answer :
Explanation :
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.
