What will be the time for downloading software?

  1. Transfer rate is 6 Kilobytes per second.
  2. The size of the software is 4.5 megabytes.

Answer & solution

  • A

    1

  • B

    2

  • 3

  • D

    4

Solution

Statement A alone is not sufficient because it gives only the rate at which data is transferred but it does not give the size of the software.

Statement B alone is not sufficient because it gives only the size of the software but it does not give the rate of data transfer.

Combining both the statements A and B together, we can get the time to download.

∵ Time required for data transfer = (Size of the software)/(Rate of data transfer)

Hence, option (c).
