On the basis of Memory size & performance, which type of computer is known as "Big iron"? A. Micro Computer B. Mini Computer C. Main Frame D. Super Computer Correct Answer C

On the basis of Memory size & performance, MainFrame is known as "Big iron".

  • A mainframe computer is used for large-scale computing purposes that require greater availability and security.
    • They are mainly used for bulk data processing such as enterprise resource planning, industry, and consumer statistics, etc.
  • Micro Computers are considered the smallest computers.
    • Personal computers fall under this category.
    • They are physically small to handle and serve the purpose of small data processing.
  • Minicomputers are bigger than microcomputers.
    • They can process fast than microcomputers.
    • They are used as gateways between mainframe networks and main servers for local area networks of microcomputers.
  • Supercomputer has the highest level of performance.
    • They can do parallel processing and can perform multiple tasks.
    • These are used for scientific and engineering applications that must handle very large databases or do a great amount of computation.

Consider the following two C code segment. Y and X are one- and two-dimensional arrays of size n and n × n respectively, where 2 ≤ n ≤ 10. Assume that in both code segments, elements of y are initialized to 0 and each element X[i] [j] of array X is initialized to i + j. Further assume that when stored in main memory all elements of x are in same main memory page frame. Code segment 1:                 //initialize elements of y to 0                 //initialize elements X[i] [j] of X to i+j                       for (i = 0; i < n; i++)                                 Y[i] += X[0] [i]; Code Segment 2:                 //initialize elements of Y to 0                 //initialize elements X[i] [j] of X to i+j                        for (i = 0; i < n; i++)                                 Y[i] += X[i] [0]; Which of the following statements is/are correct? S1: Final contents of array Y will be same in both code segments S2: Elements of array X accessed inside the for loop shown in code segment 1 are contiguous in main memory S3: Elements of array X accessed inside the for loop shown in code segment 2 are contiguous in main memory
A taxi service company has 20 outstation taxi, 25 prime taxi and 40 mini taxi. The fixed monthly rent of all the taxies is Rs. 180,000. It costs Rs. 100, Rs. 80 and Rs. 50 per day towards the maintenance of each outstation taxi, prime taxi and mini taxi, respectively. They charge Rs. 2000, Rs. 500 and Rs. 100 per day to rent an outstation taxi, prime taxi and mini taxi, respectively. In month of June 2020, only 5% of outstation taxi, 20% of prime taxi and 50% of mini taxi were booked. Then, what is the profit or loss percent for July 2020?
