Given:

I. x² - 27x + 182 = 0

II. y² – 28y + 196 = 0

Calculation:

I. x² - 27x + 182 = 0

⇒ x² – 13x – 14x + 182 = 0

⇒ x(x – 13) – 14(x – 14)= 0

⇒ (x – 13)(x – 14) = 0

⇒ x = 13, 14

II. y² – 28y + 196 = 0

⇒ y² – 14y – 14y + 196 = 0

⇒ y(y – 14) – 14(y – 14) =0

⇒ (y – 14)(y – 14) = 0

⇒ y = 14, 14

When we compared the values of ‘x’ and ‘y’ in the table above, we found that there are TWO relations between X and Y i.e. < and =. So, a relation between x and y is “x ≤ y”.

∴ After comparison, for all the values of x and y the relation is “x ≤ y”.

Solutions:

For I:

x2 – 2x – 80 = 0

⇒ x2 – 10x + 8x – 80 = 0

⇒ x(x – 10) + 8(x – 10) = 0

⇒ (x + 8) (x – 10) = 0

⇒ x = -8, 10

For II:

y2 – 10y – 171 = 0

⇒ y2 – 19y + 9y – 171 = 0

⇒ y(y – 19) + 9(y – 19) = 0

⇒ (y – 19) (y + 9) = 0

⇒ y = 19, -9

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation):

So x = y or the relationship cannot be established.

Given:

Total time taken by pipe and leak to fill the tank = 9 hrs

Concept used:

One inlet pipe alone can fill the tank in ‘A’ hours while the other outlet pipe can empty it in ‘C’ hours and time taken by both pipes together to fill the tank is ‘T’ hours can be calculated as :

(1/A) - (1/C) = 1/T

Calculations:

Let the time taken by inlet pipe to fill the tank be x

Then the leak will empty the tank in 3x

Total time taken by pipe and leak to fill the tank = 9 hrs

⇒ (1/x) - (1/3x) = 1/9

⇒ 2/3x = 1/9

⇒ x = 6

∴ Leak can empty the tank in = 6 × 3 = 18 hrs.

Capacity of tank:

According to option 1

Let the Capacity of tank be 9000 litres

As we know inlet pipe can fill the tank in 6 hr

Outlet pipe can empty the tank in 18 hrs

And when they both work together total time taken to fill the tank is 9 hr

Efficiency of A to fill the tank = 9000 / 6 = 1500 units/hr---- (i)

Efficiency of B to empty the tank = 9000 / 18 = 500 units/hr---- (ii)

When the both work together efficiency = 9000/ 9 = 1000 units/hr---- (iii)

According to question equation (i) – (ii) = (iii)

⇒ 1500 – 500 = 1000

∴ Leak can empty the tank in = 6 × 3 = 18 hrs.

∴ The capacity of tank = 9000 litres

Given:

15 × √16 – 30% of 200 = 25% of 80 + ? × 20

Concept used:

Follow the BODMAS rule according to the table given below:

Calculation:

15 × √16 – 30% of 200 = 25% of 80 + ? × 20

⇒ 15 × 4 – (30/100) × 200 = (25/100) × 80 + ? × 20

⇒ 60 - 60 = 20 + ? × 20

⇒ 0 - 20 = ? × 20

⇒ ? = -20/20 = -1

∴ The value of ? is -1

Calculation:

Let x be the total number of population

Total number of population = (21/100)x – (15/100)x = 2184

⇒ (6/100)x = 2184

⇒ x = (218400/6) = 36400

Let y be the total male population

Total male population = (24/100)y – (18/100)y = 936

⇒ (6/100)y = 936

⇒ y = (93600/6) = 15600

Total number of female population in town C and D = 3900 + 3328 = 7228

∴ The total number of female population in town C and D is 7228.

Calculation:

Let x be the total population

Total number of population = (21/100)x – (15/100)x = 2184

⇒ (6/100)x = 2184

⇒ x = (218400/6) = 36400

Let y be the male population

Total number of male population = (24/100)y – (18/100)y = 936

⇒ (6/100)y = 936

⇒ y = (93600/6) = 15600

Difference between the number of male and female in the town A = 4212 – 2340 = 1872

Difference between the number of male and female in the town B = 2808 – 2652 = 156

Difference between the number of male and female in the town C = 3900 – 3744 = 156

Difference between the number of male and female in the town D = 3328 – 2496 = 832

Difference between the number of male and female in the town E = 2756 – 2340 = 416

Difference between the number of male and female in the town F = 3952 – 1872 = 2080

∴ The town in which the difference between the number of male and number of female is the highest is F.

Given:

1, 8, 9, 64, 25, 36

Calculation:

The series follows the following pattern,

1² = 1

2³ = 8

3² = 9

4³ = 64

5² = 25

6³ = 216 ≠ 36

Since 216 will come in place of 36,

∴ The required wrong number will be 36.

Given:

Weight of the stone = 18 grams

Concept used:

If A : B and B : C

Then combine both ratios by equating the values

A : B : C

Calculation:

Let the first piece be x

Let the second piece be y

Let the third piece be z

x = 3 × y

z = 2 × y

The ratio of x, y and z = 3 : 1 : 2

Weight of the heaviest piece = [18/(3 + 1 + 2)] × 3

⇒ (18/6) × 3 = 9

∴ The weight of the heaviest piece is 9 grams.

Given:

Total males = 10

Total females = 8

Total employees to be chosen = 3

Calculation:

Probability of selecting 2 males and 1 females = (¹⁰C₂ × ⁸C₁)/(¹⁸C₃)

⇒ ÷

⇒ (45 × 8) ÷ (3 × 17 × 16)

⇒ 15/34

Probability of selecting 1 male and 2 females = (10C₁ × 8C2)/(18C3)

⇒ ÷

⇒ (10 × 28) ÷ (3 × 17 × 16)

⇒ 35/102

Required difference = (15/34) - (35/102)

⇒ 10/102

∴ The difference in the probability of selecting 2 males and 1 females against 1 male and 2 females is 10/102.

Persons: Azim, Bindu, Chaitra, Delphin, Eza, Fath, and Gayl

Dresses: Jean, Shirt, Kurta, Skirt, Saree, Salwar and Dhoti

Number of dresses: The number of dresses bought by each of them are in the consecutive multiples of 3. The total number of dresses bought by all people cannot exceed 85.

So, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 are the number of dresses bought by them.

1. Either Eza or Gayl bought 12 Skirts.

2. Delphin bought a number of Jeans, which is higher than only Fath.

3. So Fath bought 3 dresses and Delphin bought 6 jeans.

4. The number of Sarees bought is twice the number of Shirts bought.

5. Saree is bought for the second highest number. So, number of Saree is 18 and Shirt is 9.

6. Gayl bought twice the number of dresses of Delphin. So, Case 1 is invalid.

6. Chaithra bought the highest number of dresses but neither bought Saree nor Salwar.

So, the number is 21 and the dress left for it is Kurta.

7. Either Shirt or Dhoti is bought for the lowest number.

As Shirt is already 9, so the number of Dhoti bought is 3.

8. The number of Sarees bought is twice the number of Shirts bought, which is not bought by Azim.

So, he bought 15 salwar.

9. Neither Azim nor Bindu bought 18 dresses.

10. Saree is bought for the second highest number. So, number of Saree is 18 and Shirt is 9.

The final arrangement is,

Everyone except Gayl bought an odd number of dresses, whereas Gayl bought an even number of dresses.

So, Gayl is the odd one out.

The least possible diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some apples are green. → False (This conclusion cannot be definitively proven from the given statements. Although some fruits are green and all apples are fruits, it doesn't necessarily mean that some apples are green. There could be other green fruits, but the premises don't provide enough information to conclude that some apples are green. So, this conclusion not follows.)

II. Some fruits are not vegetables. → True (Since some fruits are green and no green are vegetables, it follows that the green fruits are not vegetables. Therefore, this conclusion follows.)

III. No apples are vegetables. → False (All apples are fruits, and while the premises don't specifically state that no fruits are vegetables, the fact that no green are vegetables suggests that there might be some separation between fruits and vegetables. However, this isn't enough information to conclude that no apples are vegetables. We would need more information to draw this conclusion, so this conclusion not follow.)

Hence, Only conclusion II follows.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows -

Conclusions:

I. Some sad can be sorrow. → True (It is possible that Some Sad are Sorrow as there is no direct or negative relation given between them. Hene, it follows.)

II. Some laugh is joy. → False (It is possible but not definite as there is no direct relationship given between Laugh and Joy. Hence, it doesn't follow.)

Hence, the correct answer is Only I follows.

Given:

Ten persons: M, N, O, P, Q, V, W, X, Y and Z

Five different floors of a building

Two flats: flat-1 and flat-2 from west to east such that flat-1 is to the west of flat-2.

Now,

1) V lives on an odd numbered floor but dose not lives on an even numbered flat.

2) More than one floor is there between the floor of M and the floor on which N lives.

3) U lives to the east of V on the same floor.

4) One floor is there between V who is not on the lowermost floor and the floor on which R lives, both lives on the same flat number.

5) M lives to the west of P and dose not lives on an even numbered floor.

As V cannot be on the lowermost floor thus, CASE 1 gets eliminated

6) O who lives to the North-West of T is not on the fifth floor.

7) Only one floor gap is there between the floor of Q and the floor on which S lives.

8) T is not an immediate neighbour of S. M does not live above Q.

More than one floor is there between the floor of M and the floor on which N lives, also, M lives to the west of P and dose not lives on an even numbered floor.

In CASE 3, there is not a gap of more than one floor between M and N, thus CASE 3 gets eliminated.

In CASE 1(a), we are not getting the exact position of Q and S, but in CASE 2 all the conditions of the question are being fulfilled, thus we have the final arrangement in CASE 2.

Hence, the correct answer is "N".

Given:

In CASE 3, there is not a gap of more than one floor between M and N, thus CASE 3 gets eliminated.

In CASE 1(a), we are not getting the exact position of Q and S, but in CASE 2 all the conditions of the question are being fulfilled, thus we have the final arrangement in CASE 2.

Hence, the correct answer is "both V and U".

Row 1 A, B, C, D, and E are sitting facing south
Row 2 P, Q, R, S, and T are sitting facing north.

1. A sits second from the end.

2.The number of persons sitting to the right of A is equal to the number of persons sitting to the right of Q.

3. D sits Immediate next to the one who is facing Q.

4. One persons sit between D and E, who does not sit next to C.

5. S sits three places away from Q. T sits to the right of S. Hence Case 2.1A, case 2.1 and Case 2 gets eliminated.

6. Two persons sit between R and T. The person who sits opposite to T sits four places away from C. Case 1.1 gets eliminated.

7.B sits to the left of A. At most two person sits right of D. Hence case 1 gets eliminated

Final arrangement

S is sitting immediate left of R.

The correct option is (1)

INT

Concept:-

The sum() function calculates the sum of a set of values. MYSQL supports the SQL standard integer types INTEGER (or INT) and SMALLINT. INT in MYSQL is an integer data type, which is a whole number. It allows numbers to be written without fractional parts.

SUM(column), returns the sum of the values for the specified column.

For example, MySQL > SELECT SUM(price) FROM INVENTORY; Output is 4608733.00

Key Points

• Use SQL's SUM method if you need to add a set of numbers to your table. If there are no rows in the result set, NULL is returned. One of the categories of aggregate functions, it.
• Multiple Row Functions is another name for aggregate functions. These functions operate on an entire collection of records and give a single value for each column of the records they affect.
• The string data types are CHAR, VARCHAR, BINARY, VARBINARY, BLOB, TEXT, ENUM, and SET.

The correct answer is 10

Let's break down the expression step by step:

• x++: Post-increment x, so the current value of x (5) is used in the expression, and then x is incremented to 6.
• --y: Pre-decrement y, so y is decremented to -11, and the new value (-11) is used in the expression.
• --y * b: Multiply the decremented value of y (-11) by b (2), which results in -22.
• -22 / a: Divide -22 by a (4), resulting in -5.5.
• z = 5 - (-5.5): Subtract -5.5 from 5, which gives 10.5.

However, since z is an integer, the fractional part is truncated, and z is assigned the value 10.

Correct Answer: Option 2

Explanation:

• When transmitting data through computer networks, it may get corrupted due to noise or other reasons. These are called errors.
• Errors need to be detected and corrected. This is done at the data link layer.
• Checksum is an error detection technique.
• Error correction techniques are backward error correction and forward error correction.

Important Points:

• In checksum error detection, the data is grouped into fixed-size blocks. The blocks are added using 1's complement arithmetic and then complemented to get the checksum.
• The data blocks along with the checksum are sent to the receiver who then performs further calculations to verify whether the received data is error-free or not.

An array is defined as the collection of similar types of data items stored at contiguous memory locations.

int array[3][4] = (0);

Here Array is an integer array. which is in a two-dimensional array of 3 rows and 4 columns. So each row has 4 elements and there are three rows.

Hence total number of elements = 3 x 4 =12

Each element of size = 2 bytes.

So size of array is = 12 x 2 bytes =24 bytes.

Hence the correct answer is 24 bytes.

The correct answer is private

Key PointsIn a C++ class, the access specifiers define how the members (functions and variables) of the class can be accessed. There are three types of access specifiers:

• Private: Members declared as private are accessible only within the same class and they cannot be accessed directly by any other part of your code, including instances of the same class.
• Public: Members declared as public are accessible from any part of the program. All data members and member functions of a class can be accessed from anywhere in the program.
• Protected: Members declared as protected are accessible within the same class and also in the derived classes. However, like private members, these members are not directly accessible by the objects or outside of the classes.

In a C++ class, if no access specifier is stated, then members are by default considered as private. They are only accessible from methods within the same class. The default access specifier "private" is a way to ensure data encapsulation, a key aspect of Object Oriented Programming.

Concept:

Big data is a field that treats ways to analyse, systematically extract information from, or otherwise deal with data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software.

Explanation:

Big Data can be defined using the famous 3 Vs - Volume, Velocity and Variety.

VOLUME:

Volume refers to the amount of data generated through websites, portals and online applications.

VELOCITY:

With Velocity we refer to the speed with which data are being generated.

VARIETY

Variety in Big Data refers to all the structured and unstructured data that has the possibility of getting generated either by humans or by machines.

The most added data are unstructured -texts, tweets, pictures & videos.

The correct answer is option 1.

Concept:

Plain text is the information that is converted during encryption. Plain text is a broad word in computing for data that solely represents characters of readable information and not its graphical representation or other elements.

• Plaintext in cryptography is often regular readable text before it is encrypted into ciphertext, or readable text after it has been decoded.
• The ciphertext is the encrypted text that has been converted from plaintext by an encryption technique.
• Ciphertext cannot be read until it has been decrypted (converted to plaintext). The decryption cipher is an algorithm that converts ciphertext to plaintext.

Hence the correct answer is Plain text.

Layer 2 Ethernet Frame Format:

Cyclic Redundancy codes is an error detection mechanism used in the data link layer. It is based on binary division. Cyclic redundancy check bits are appended to the end of data unit so that the resulting data unit becomes exactly divisible by a second, predetermined binary number. At the destination, the incoming data unit is divided by the same number. If at this step there is no remainder, the data unit is assumed to be correct and is therefore accepted. A remainder indicates that the data unit has been damaged in transit and therefore rejected.
