Answer : 3. "0.375"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 0.375 Explanation: Expressing 3/8 as a decimal fraction: We can convert 3/8 into a decimal fraction by just dividing 3 by 8 or making 3 into 8 parts. Then, it is 3/8 = 0.375 as a decimal fraction.   Other Method:: 3/8 as a Decimal : In this we should convert the denominator into 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,... to make it simple. Now to make 8 into 1000, we multiply numerator and denominator with 125   => (3 x 125)/(8 x 125) = 375/1000 = 0.375.

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.

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 Today, 16-bit hardware and software has been replaced by 32-bit and 64-bit alternatives, which give the computer more memory to work with; increasing overall performance.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).

Answer : 3. "Both A & B"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Both A & B Explanation: Brightness of bulb depends on both voltage and current. The brightness depends on power. Since we know that  Power (P) = Voltage x Current = V I So whether you increase the current or the voltage the brightness will increase.   Example Illustration:  If you connect a long bulb and a round bulb in series, the long bulb glows but the round bulb does not. Both of them have the same current flowing through them (they are in series) but the long bulb has a greater voltage across it because it has more resistance (even though V= IR is not obeyed exactly, voltage drop does depend on the resistance). If you connect a round bulb and a long bulb in parallel, however, it is the round bulb that is brighter because now the voltage across both bulbs is the same but the current is larger through the round bulb (smaller resistance).   Hence, the brightness of a bulb depends on power i.e, both voltage and current.

Answer :
Explanation :

This depends on several factors. Different Individuals have different answers for it.You can answer as - " I will most likely be involved in a different but still related career path; something to do with the creative side. If I were to start over I would attempt to get myself to specialize in one area as a young man. It’s very interesting to follow one’s interests all at the same time, but you don’t get anywhere very quickly this way. By pursuing lots of interests all at the same time, it takes a long, long time to acquire professional level skills."
