A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

"CD-ROM is a semiconductor memory" is a FALSE statement.


 


Compact Disc-Read-Only Memory, a type of optical disk capable of storing large amounts of data -- up to 1GB, although the most common size is 650MB (megabytes). A single CD-ROM has the storage capacity of 700 floppy disks, enough memory to store about 300,000 textpages.


 


Semiconductor memory is a type of semiconductor device tasked with storing data. There are two electronic data storage mediums that we can utilize, magnetic or optical.


 


Magnetic storage:


* Stores data in magnetic form.


* Affected by magnetic fields.


* Has high storage capacity.


* Doesn't use a laser to read/write data.


* Magnetic storage devices are; Hard disk , Floppy disk, Magnetic tape etc.


 


Optical storage:


* Stores data optically, uses laser to read/write.


* Not affected by magnetic fields.


* Has less storage than a hard disk.


* Data accessing is high, compared to a floppy disc.


* Optical storage devices are; CD-ROM,CD-R, CD-RW, DVD etc.


 


There is also volatile memory. This is memory that loses its data once power is cut off, while non-volatile memory retains data even without power.

Q:

What is the compound interest earned at the end of 3 years?

I. Simple interest earned on that amount at the same rate and for the same period is Rs. 4500.

II.The rate of interest is 10 p.c.p.a.

III.Compound interest for 3 years is more than the simple interest for that period by Rs.465.

A) I and II only B) II and III only
C) I and III only D) Either II or III only
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Either II or III only

Explanation:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I. gives, S.I for 3 years = Rs. 4500.

 

 

 

II. gives, Rate = 10% p.a.

 

 

 

III. gives, (C.I.) - (S.I.) = Rs. 465.

 

 

 

Clearly, using I and III we get C.I. = Rs. (465 + 4500).

 

 

 

Thus, II is redundant.

 

 

 

Also, from I and II, we get sum =

 

 

 

100 x 4500

 

 

 

= 15000.

 

 

 

10 x 3

 

 

 

Now C.I. on Rs. 15000 at 10% p.a. for 3 years may be obtained.

 

 

 

Thus, III is redundant.

 

 

 

Either II or III is redundant.
