Answer : 2. "264 km"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 264 km Explanation: Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms Now, from the given data, d/20 = d/22 + 36 min => d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs => d = 132 km. Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.

Answer : 1. "Hertz"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Hertz Explanation: CPU speed is the central factor in a computer's performance. And this CPU speed depends on the processor in the CPU chip. In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses per second generated by an oscillator that sets the tempo for the processor. Clock speed is usually measured in Hertz (Hz). But now-a-days, a pure processor's performance is measured in MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per Second). As here in the question, how a processor's speed is measured is asked and it is Hertz. Hence, Processor's speed of a computer is measured in Hertz(Hz) [MHz, GHz].
