Question
Make necessary reasonable assumptions and answer the following questions :
(a) If a computer processes 1,000 files per minute, can it process 1 crore files in a day?
(b) If a person drinks 3 litres of water daily, can they drink 1000 litres in a year?
(c) If a tap fills 600 litres of water every hour, can it fill a 100,000-litre tank in a day?

Answer

(a) Total files processed in a day = 1000 × 60 × 24 = 14,40,0.
No, it cannot process 1 crore files in a day.
(b) Water consumed in a year = 3 × 365 = 1095 litres. Yes, it’s possible that a person can drink 1,000 litres in a year.
(c) In a day (24 hours), the tap fills 600 × 24 = 14400 litres. It cannot fill the entire tank in a day.
