- D.

- E.

Correct Answer
D. If neither I nor II is true.Explanation
The given statements are P $ T, T @ L, and U % L. According to the given meanings of the symbols, P is not greater than T, T is not smaller than L, and U is neither smaller than nor equal to L.
Conclusion I states that P is not smaller than L. Since there is no direct relationship between P and L in the given statements, we cannot determine whether P is smaller than L or not. Therefore, Conclusion I is not definitely true.
Conclusion II states that U is neither smaller than nor greater than L. This is true because U is neither smaller than nor equal to L, so it cannot be greater than L either. Therefore, Conclusion II is definitely true.
Since Conclusion I is not definitely true and Conclusion II is definitely true, the correct answer is "If only II is true."Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. If only II is trueExplanation
The symbol '%' means 'neither smaller than nor equal to'. So, from the second statement 'B%D', we can conclude that B is neither smaller than nor equal to D. And from the third statement 'D©K', we can conclude that D is neither smaller than nor greater than K. Therefore, B is also neither smaller than nor greater than K.

Correct Answer
E. Both I and II are true.Explanation
The symbol # means "X is neither greater than nor equal to Y" and © means "X is neither smaller than nor greater than Y". From the given statements, we can infer that J is neither greater than nor equal to K, K is neither smaller than nor greater than L, and P is not greater than L.
Conclusion I states that P is not greater than K, which is true because K is not smaller than P. Conclusion II states that J is neither greater than nor equal to L, which is also true because J is not smaller than L.
Therefore, both Conclusion I and Conclusion II are true.Rate this question:

Directions-(31 to 40) Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it- Every afternoon, on their way back from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant's garden. It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that bore rich fruit. The birds would sit on the trees and sing sweetly to the children playing below. One day the Giant came back. He had been on a long tour and was now determined to return to his own castle. When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden and was outrageous. "What are you doing here ?" He shouted in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away. "I will not allow anybody to play in my garden but myself" said the Giant. And so, he built a high wall around it, and put up a notice-board that read TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED. He was a very selfish Giant. The poor children had now, nowhere to play. They tried to play on the road, but the road was very dusty and full of stones, and they did not like it. On their way back from school, they used to wander around the high wall and remember the good times. Then came spring, and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds. Only in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was still winter. The birds did not care to sing in it as there were no children and the trees forgot to blossom. The only people who were pleased were the snow and the frost. "Spring has forgotten this garden," they cried, "so we will live here all the year round." I cannot understand why the spring is so late in coming," said the selfish Giant, as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden, "I hope there will be a change in the weather." But the spring never came, nor did the summer. The autumn gave golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant's garden she gave none. "He was too selfish," she said. So it was always winter there. One morning the Giant was lying awake in bed when he heard the birds singing. "I believe the spring has come at last," said the Giant, and he jumped out of bed and looked out. He saw the most wonderful sight. Through the little hole in the wall the children had crept in, and they were sitting on the branches of the trees. On every tree there was a child. The birds were flying about and twittering with delight, and the flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing. It was a lovely scene however, in one corner it was still winter. It was the farthest corner of the garden, and in it was standing a little boy. He was so small that he could not reach the branches of the tree, and he was wandering all around it crying bitterly. The Giant's heart melted as he looked out. "How selfish I have been '" he said, "now I know why spring would not come here. I will put that poor little boy on the top of the tree, and then I will knock down the wall, and my garden shall be the children's play-ground forever and ever." He was really sorry for what he had done. 31. What did the Giant do to keep the children away from his garden?

Only in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was still winter. The birds did not care to sing in it as there were no children and the trees forgot to blossom. The only people who were pleased were the snow and the frost. "Spring has forgotten this garden," they cried, "so we will live here all the year round." I cannot understand why the spring is so late in coming," said the selfish Giant, as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden, "I hope there will be a change in the weather." But the spring never came, nor did the summer. The autumn gave golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant's garden she gave none. "He was too selfish," she said. So it was always winter there. One morning the Giant was lying awake in bed when he heard the birds singing. "I believe the spring has come at last," said the Giant, and he jumped out of bed and looked out. He saw the most wonderful sight. Through the little hole in the wall the children had crept in, and they were sitting on the branches of the trees. On every tree there was a child. The birds were flying about and twittering with delight, and the flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing. It was a lovely scene however, in one corner it was still winter. It was the farthest corner of the garden, and in it was standing a little boy. He was so small that he could not reach the branches of the tree, and he was wandering all around it crying bitterly. The Giant's heart melted as he looked out. "How selfish I have been '" he said, "now I know why spring would not come here. I will put that poor little boy on the top of the tree, and then I will knock down the wall, and my garden shall be the children's play-ground forever and ever." He was really sorry for what he had done. 32. Why did the autumn trees refuse to bear fruit ?

Correct Answer
E. The Paradise GardenExplanation
The story can be appropriately titled "The Paradise Garden" because the passage describes a beautiful garden with soft green grass, beautiful flowers, and peach trees that bear rich fruit. The garden is a paradise for the children who used to play there. However, the paradise is lost when the selfish Giant builds a high wall and prohibits anyone from playing in the garden except himself. The garden remains in winter while the rest of the country experiences spring. The paradise is restored when the children sneak into the garden and bring back the joy and beauty of spring.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 230Explanation
Let the expenditures of company A and C were x and y respectively in the year 2010. Then
Profit of A= 60% of x
& Profit of A= 35% of y
So, 0.6 x = 0.35y
x :y = 7 : 12
let x = 7p & y = 12p
Expenditure of company A = 7p
Expenditure of company C = 12p
Income = [ {profit% /100} +1]* expenditure
Income of company C =
Required percentage = 16.2p/7p *100 = 230% (approx)Rate this question:

Spooling is acronym for
- A.
Simultaneous peripheral operation online
- B.
Simultaneous Process operation online
- C.
System peripheral operation online
- D.
Simultaneous peripheral operating online
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Simultaneous peripHeral operation onlineExplanation
Spooling stands for Simultaneous peripheral operation online. This term is used to describe a process in which multiple devices or processes can access a shared resource, such as a printer, simultaneously. Spooling allows for efficient processing and management of data, as it queues the jobs in a buffer and then sends them to the appropriate device or process as they become available. This helps to prevent bottlenecks and improve overall system performance.Rate this question:

- A.
Batch processing
- B.
8-bit operating System
- C.
Real time Operating System
- D.
Time shared Operating System
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
D. Time shared Operating SystemExplanation
A time-shared operating system allows multiple users to share the computer's resources simultaneously. This means that multiple users can run programs and perform tasks on the computer at the same time, without one user monopolizing the system. The operating system divides the computer's processing time into small time slices, allowing each user to have a turn to use the system. This type of operating system is commonly used in environments where multiple users need to access the computer simultaneously, such as in a server or a mainframe system.Rate this question:

Parallel System
Correct Answer
E. Parallel SystemExplanation
A parallel system is a type of system that has more than one CPU. In a parallel system, multiple processors work together to perform tasks simultaneously, which can greatly increase the system's processing power and speed. This allows for efficient execution of complex tasks and high-performance computing. Therefore, a parallel system is the correct answer because it specifically refers to a system with multiple CPUs.Rate this question:

_______ is a logical extension of multiprocessing
- A.
Multitasking
- B.
Multiprocessing
- C.
Multithreading
- D.
All of these
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. MultitaskingExplanation
Multitasking is a logical extension of multiprocessing because it allows multiple tasks or processes to run concurrently on a single processor. In multiprocessing, multiple processors are used to execute different tasks simultaneously, whereas in multitasking, a single processor is used to switch between multiple tasks quickly, giving the illusion of parallel execution. Therefore, multitasking can be seen as an extension of multiprocessing, as it allows for better utilization of system resources and improved efficiency in task execution.Rate this question:

- A.
Application Software
- B.
Hardware component
- C.
System Software
- D.
I/o device
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
C. System SoftwareExplanation
An operating system is classified as system software because it is responsible for managing and controlling the hardware and software resources of a computer system. It provides a platform for other software applications to run on and facilitates communication between the user and the computer. Therefore, it is not an application software, hardware component, or an I/O device.Rate this question:
