Answer :
Explanation :
Anything larger and the computer would need to break the number into smaller pieces. 16-bit is a computer hardware device or software program capable of transferring 16 bits of data at a time. Today, 16-bit hardware and software has been replaced by 32-bit and 64-bit alternatives, which give the computer more memory to work with; increasing overall performance. For example, early computer processors (e.g., 8088 and 80286) were 16-bit processors, meaning they were capable of working with 16-bit binary numbers (decimal number up to 65,535).
Q: Study the question and all the three statements given and decide whether any information provided in the statements are redundand and can be dispensed with while answering the questions. Question : What is the rate of interest per year ? Statements : 1. The amount invested is Rs. 6000.2. The amount becomes Rs. 6741.60 in 2 years at compound interest.3. The difference between compound interest and simple interest in 2 years is Rs. 21.60. 1237 05b5cc6c5e4d2b4197774dd6e

Answer : 3. "Any two of (1, 2 & 3)"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Any two of (1, 2 & 3) Explanation: Using Both 1 & 2 statements we get the rate of interest as in (1) we have given principle amount and in (2) compound interest for 2 years. By this data we get the rate%. Using Both 1 & 3 statements we can get the rate% as we have principle amount & difference between compound interest and simple interest in 2 years. Using Both 2 & 3 statements we get compound interest & simple interest by which we get principle amount. So that we can calculate %rate. Hence by using any two of the three statements(1,2&3) we get rate of interest.

Answer : 2. "32 8/11 min"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 32 8/11 min Explanation: 55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min. 60 min. spaces are covered in min. = min. Loss in 64 min. = min. Loss in 24 hrs = min. = min.

Answer : 4. "125"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 125 Explanation: Methods for selecting 4 questions out of 5 in the first section = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1/4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 5. Similarly for other 2 sections also i.e 5 and 5 So total methods = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125.

Answer : 2. "3/10"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 3/10 Explanation: Here, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...., 19, 20}=> n(s) = 20Let E = event of getting a multiple of 4 or 15 =multiples od 4 are {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}And multiples of 15 means multiples of 3 and 5= {3, 6 , 9, 12, 15, 18, 5, 10, 15, 20}.= the common multiple is only (15).=> E = n(E)= 6Required Probability = P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 6/20 = 3/10.
