Q1.A shaving set company sells 4 different types of razors, Elegance, Smooth, Soft and
Executive.
Elegance sells at Rs. 48, Smooth at Rs. 63, Soft at Rs. 78 and Executive at Rs. 173 per piece.
The table below shows the numbers of each razor sold in each quarter of a year.
Which product contributes the greatest fraction to the revenue of the company in that year?
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Total income from Elegance=48(27300+25222+28976+21012) = 4920480
Total income from Smooth=63(20009+19392+22429+18229 = 5043717
Total income from Soft=78(17602+18445+19544+16595) =5630508
Total income from Executive=173(9999+8942+10234+10109) =6796132
Q3.Let c1 ........cn be scalars, not all zero, such that where ai are column vectors in
Rn . Consider the set of linear equations Ax = b where A = [a1 ........an] and The set of equations has
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Since the scalars are not all zero
∴ The column vectors ai for i = 1,2...,n are linearly dependent
Q4. The n-bit fixed-point representation of an unsigned real number real X uses f bits for the
fraction part. Let i = n –f. The range of decimal values for X in this representation is
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
i = n – f . f
Max value = 111.....1 (i times).111........1 (f times)
Q8. Let u and v be two vectors in R2 whose Euclidean norms satisfy ||u|| = 2 ||v||. What is the value
of α such that w = u + αv bisects the angle between u and v ?
Q9.Let p, q, and r be propositions and the expression (p → q) → r be a contradiction. Then, the
expression (r → p) → q is
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
(p →q) → r is contradiction only when
And now for the above combination, the expression (r → p) → q is always true when q is
true. When q is false in the above combination (third one) (r → p) → q will be false.
