2. ‘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

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.
