Answer : 1. "23"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 23 Explanation: Total number of female members = 115 Let the number of males = x Number of females = y => x + y = 115  ......(1) According to the given data, x + y(0.50) = 69 ......(2) From (1) & (2), we get 0.5y = 46 => y = 46 x 2 = 92 => x = 115 - 92 = 23   Hence, required number of gentlemen in the family = x = 23.

Answer : 1. "49.6%"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 49.6% Explanation: As these three strategies P, Q and R are independent so these will cut cost one after the other.If initial cost is Rs 100, then20% cost is cut after initializing strategy P, then cost will remain 80% = 80further 30% cost is cut after strategy Q, then cost will remain 70% of 80 = 56further 10% cost is cut after strategy R, then cost will remain 90% of 56 = 50.4 Thus final cost remains 50.4 % of the original cost. Hence net saving is 100 - 50.4 = 49.6 %.

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].

Answer : 3. "11:30 pm"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 11:30 pm Explanation: Distance = 70 x 1 ½ = 105 km Relative Speed = 85 – 70 = 15 Time = 105/15 = 7 hrs 4:30 + 7 hrs = 11.30 p.m.

Answer : 1. "0.0625"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 0.0625 Explanation: 25% of 25% means   25/100 of 25/100   i.e, 1/4 of 1/4   or in other words 1/4 x 1/4=1/16   Hence, the answer is 1/16 = 0.0625.
