Answer : 4. "Refraction of light & Total Internal Reflection of light"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Refraction of light & Total Internal Reflection of light Explanation: A Mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays bend to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. It is caused due to Total internal Reflection. It is an optical illusion observed in deserts or hot summer days due to which a person sees a pond of water some distance ahead of him in which the surrounding objects appear inverted. How Mirage Forms:: 1. The temperature of other layers of atmosphere goes on decreasing as we go up.2. Therefore density and refractive index of air changes as one goes up.3. Thus a ray of light,gets refracted more and more away from the normal.4. At a particular angle when a ray of light exceeds critical angle, total internal reflection takes place and ray of light gets reflected in the same medium.5. when the reflected ray reaches our eye, it appears as coming from tree or sky .6. Hence the inverted image of tree creates an impression from a pond of water.

Answer : 3. "8000"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 8000 Explanation: Let the amount collected be 'A'Then, from the given conditions,A x 110/100 x 90/100 = 7920 A x 0.99 = 7920 A = 7920/0.99=> 8000

Answer : 4. "3:16 4/11"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 3:16 4/11 Explanation: Coincide means 00 ┬аangle. This can be calculated using the formulafor time A to B means ┬а[11m/2 - 30 (A)] Here m gives minutes after A the both hands coincides. Here A = 3, B = 4 0 =11m/2 тАУ30 ├Ч 311m = 90 ├Ч 2 = 180m= 180/11 = 16 4/11 So time = 3 : 16 4/11

Answer : 4. "Checks and Balances"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Checks and Balances Explanation: A procedure or method called Checks and Balances stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful. In the United States, there are three branches of government: The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. ┬а Each has its own responsibilities and at the same time they work together to make the country run smoothly and to assure that the rights of citizens are not ignored or disallowed. ┬а There is a clear separation of powers between them. ┬а Checks and Balances limit the power within each branch. ┬а Each branch can stop and/or override processes within other branches in manners that are outlined in federal laws, regulations, and the constitution. ┬а This way, their powers are balanced because the branches of government have the responsibility to check each other.

Answer : 1. "there was an informative program about innovations in medical imaging, a program you would have found interesting."
Explanation :

Answer: A) there was an informative program about innovations in medical imaging, a program you would have found interesting. Explanation: They is incorrect when talking of the television channel. New is redundant. And which must have a clear antecedent. ┬а Hence, Only Option A satisfies and clears all the flaws in the given sentence.

Answer : 2. "100"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 100 Explanation: Let the Efficiency of pavan be E(P) Let the Efficiency of sravan be E(S) Here Work W = LCM(25,20) = 100 Now, E(P+2S) = 100/25 = 4 ....(1) E(2P+S) = 100/20 = 5 ....(2) Hence, from (1) & (2) we get E(S) = 1 => Number of days Savan alone work to complete the work ┬а= 100/1 = 100 days.

Q: Is DRAM Volatile or Nonvolatile? 2227 0

Answer :
Explanation :

DRAM is a┬аVolatile random-access memory (VRAM). ┬а Volatile random-access memory (VRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned on. Examples of volatile memory are primary storage (typically dynamic RAM, DRAM), and fast CPU cache memory (typically static RAM, SRAM, which is fast but energy-consuming and offer lower memory capacity per area unit than DRAM). Non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off. Examples of non-volatile memory are flash memory (used as secondary memory) and ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM memory (used for storing firmware such as BIOS).
