  1. ‘R is a robot of M’ means R can perform some of the tasks that otherwise M would do and R is unable to do anything else. Which of the following is the most appropriate representation to model this situation ?

Answer: (B)

Explanation: M is the big set and R is the small set as ‘R is a robot of M’

For example, ‘Pigeon is a bird’ where bird is big set and pigeon is the small set

As R cannot perform any other tasks compared to M, R set should be inside the M set

  1. For your ATM debit card, you have a 4-decimal-digit personal secret code. In the absence of any clue, a brute-force attack takes time-‘t’ to crack the code on an ATM terminal. Therefore ‘t’ is the secure-time for a customer to report in case the card is misplaced. Your Bank has decided to facilitate an increased secure-time. Out of the following, which option should provide the largest rise in the value of ‘t’ ?

(A) Instead of 4-decimal-digits, maintain the personal secret code in 4-hexadecimal-digits.

(B) Instead of 4-decimal digits, maintain a 5-decimal-digit personal secret code.

(C) Reduce the processing speed of the ATM terminals to the half of their current speed.

(D) None of the above provides any improvement.
