Light year is the unit of to express astronomical distances, that light can travel in one year. Light moves at a velocity of about 300,000 kilometers (km) each second. So in one year, it can travel about 10 trillion km. More precisely, one light-year is equal to 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers.

Approximately, 1 light year = 10^16 mts.

Cp1 = p2 - p1 ,
Cp2 = p3 - p2
..
..
..
Cp23 = p24 - p23
Sum of series = (p2-p1) + (p3-p2) + .....(p23-p22) + (p24-p23)
All terms get cancelled, except p1 = 2 and p24 = 89
So Sum = -p1 + p24
Sum of series = -2 + 89 = 87

There are 60 minutes in an hour.

In ¾ of an hour there are (60 × ¾) minutes = 45 minutes.

In ¾ of an hour there are (60 × 45) seconds = 2700 seconds.

Siren sounds for every 5 seconds.

In 2700 seconds = 2700/5 = 540 times.

The count start after the first sound, the Siren will sound 541 times in ¾ of an hour.

IEEE 1284 is a standard that govern parallel communications.

• IEEE 1284 is a standard that defines bi-directional parallel communications between computers and other devices.

• It was originally developed in the 1970s by Centronics, and was widely known as the Centronics port, both before and after its IEEE standardization.

As parabola is a locus of a point, which moves so that its distance from focus and directrix is always equal.

The latus rectum of a conic section is the chord (line segment) that passes through the focus, is perpendicular to the major axis and has both endpoints on the curve. The length of the latus rectum is determined differently for each conic.

The length of a parabola's latus rectum is 4p, where p is the distance from the focus to the vertex.

Literally any percentage means divide by 100.

So 125% = 125100. That can be reduced to 5/4.

To convert to a decimal, you can do long division, dividing 5 into 4.
