• Activity 01,
Part 01,
Q: - 01) A tailor wants to make square shaped towels. The required squared pieces of cloth will be cut from
a ream of cloth which is 20 meters in length and 16 meters in width.
a) Find the minimum number of squared pieces that can be cut from the ream of cloth without
wasting any cloth.
(a) H.C.F of 20 and 16
16 20: - 2 * 2 * 5
16: - 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
20
Highest common factor =2*2

=4
Length of 1 side in square piece = X
X=4m
Area of the square piece =4*4
= 16
Area of the cutting piece = 20 * 16
= 320
Number of square pieces = 320 / 16
= 20

lOMoARcPSD|16180554
(b) The highest common factor method is what I used above. Among other things, HCF stands for "Highest
common factor." It comes in helpful when we need to simplify a fraction. For example, in the stated
scenario, the HCF is 4.
We can divide each of these numbers by 4 because the common factor of 20 and 16 is 4. The procedure of
determining the highest common factor is simple. We should first identify all of the components shared by
both numbers, then choose the one that is most common to both, and then choose the greatest. We may use
HCF to compute the length of one side of the cloth ream using the preceding example. 20 square pieces is
the final answer.

Q: - 02) On the first day of the month, 4 customers come to a restaurant. Afterwards, those 4 customers come
to the same restaurant once in 2,4,6 and 8 days respectively.
a) On which day of the month, will all the four customers come back to the restaurant together?
(a) L.C.M of 2,4,6 and 8
2: - 2
4: - 2 * 2
6: - 2 * 3
8: - 2 * 2 * 2
Least common multiplication = 2*2*2*3

= 8*3
= 24
Y= 24
Meet day =Y+1
= 24+1
= 25
They meet after 24 days → 25th day all four customers will meet.

lOMoARcPSD|16180554
(b) Above, I utilized the Least Common Multiple technique. The least common multiple, or L.C.M., is the
smallest of all common multiples. The supplied numbers in the preceding example are 2, 4, 6, and 8,
respectively. As a result, 2, 2, 2, 3, and 1 are the most common multiples. As a result, the smallest
number formed by these numbers is also 24, and the multiple of these numbers is 24. All four clients
will return on the 25th day after deducting the first day and adding one to the total of 24 days. The
LCM is the lowest number of two or more numbers evenly divided by all of the numbers in the set.

Part 02,
Q: - 03) Logs are stacked in a pile with 24 logs on the bottom row and 10 on the top row. There are 15
rows in all with each row having one more log than the one above it.
a) How many logs are in the stack?
Q: - 04) A company is offering a job with a salary of Rs. 50,000.00 for the first year and a 4% raise
each year after that. If that 4% raise continues every year,
a) Find the total amount of money an employee would earn in a 10-years career.
Q: - 03)
(a) 10,11,12…….24
a=10, n=15, l=24, Sn=?
Sn = n/2(a + l)
Sn = 15/2(10 + 24)
Sn = 15/2 (34)
Sn = 15 * 17
Sn = 255 255 Logs
====

lOMoARcPSD|16180554
(b) A number sequence can be defined as a collection of numbers. In a mathematical series, for
example, the difference between one term and the next term is always the same, and "a" is the first
term, with "d" the difference between the terms. In the previous example, the first verse contains
ten words, the difference is one, and the words to be added are 15 'n'. We can get the logs by
finding the difference with the arithmetic thread and then summarizing the arithmetic sequence
with the first term.
Q: - 04)
(a) First year = 50,000.00
Second year = 52,000.00 (50,000 + 50,000 * 4/100)
Third year = 54,080.00 (52,000 + 52,000 * 4/100)
r = 52,000/50000
= 1.04
a = 50,000.00, r = 1.04, S10 =?
Sn = a (r ^ n – 1)/ r -1
S10 = 50,000 (1.04^10 – 1)/ 1.04 – 1
S10 = 50,000 * 0.480244285/ 0.04
S10 = 24,012.2143 / 0.04
S10 = 600,305.36
Total amount of money an employee would earn in 10 years career would be = Rs 600,305.36

lOMoARcPSD|16180554
(b) According to geometric progression, each term has a specific ratio to its pre-terms. Multiply by
the common ratio, which is a fixed term, to yield the following term. In order to find the initial
word, we must divide it by the same common ratio. As a result, the common ratio in the example
above is 0.04. The letter 'a' is also known as the alphabet's first letter, whereas the letter 'r' is
known as the common ratio. For example, the letter 'a' is 50000, which is the first term in the
series, and the letter 'n' is the tenth term. Using this information, we can calculate the total amount
each employee makes for himself or herself. Her field of expertise.

lOMoARcPSD|16180554
Part 03,
05) Define the multiplicative inverse in modular arithmetic and identify the multiplicative inverse of 6
mod 13 while explaining the algorithm used.
06) Prime numbers are important to many fields. In the computing field also, prime numbers are applied.
Provide examples and in detail explain how prime numbers are important in the field of computing.
Q: - 05) The multiplicative inverse occurs when a number is multiplied by the original number and the
result is 1. The multiplicative inverse of 'a' is a-1 or 1/a. It basically indicates that the product of two
integers is 1 and that they multiply in the opposite direction. When the modular multiplicative inverse of an
integer 'p' is another integer 'x', the product px is congruent to 1 in terms of modulus "m." px 1 is the
symbol for it (mod m). m will essentially split px-1 in half. Furthermore, if GCD (p.m.) =1, the
multiplicative inverse of an integer 'p' in terms of modulus 'm' can exist in modular arithmetic. To find the
modular inverse for 6 mod 13, we must first compute A * B mod C for B values 0 through C-1. In this
case, A = 6, B = 11, and the ultimate number is 66, which equals C = 1. The modular inverse, as a result, is
11.

lOMoARcPSD|16180554
Q: - 06) An initial integer that can only be divided by one has no divisor. Half of all possible three, four,
and five-digit numbers are necessary, however there is also a prime infinite number. Prime numbers are
essential in the computing world. Prime refers to the entire set of numbers that remains after rewriting the
numbers. When the remaining numbers can no longer be factorized, they are referred to as primes. Modern
computers process cryptography using many primers. Others can see the enormous number that was used
to encrypt the data, and encryption may be used to decode the file using a variety of key factors. Quantum
computers can also quickly find the key component in large quantities, effectively breaking the current
global code. Computers are protected by simple numbers. In today's encryption and decoding systems, it is
easier to multiply large prime numbers than to break down massive numbers into their basic components.
The RSA encryption and decoding algorithm is the most extensively utilized. If a mechanism for creating
prime numbers can be discovered, online secrets such as bank accounts could be jeopardized. Therefore,
computers constantly generate new prime numbers. Because owning the key does not allow someone to
circumvent encryption, we don't need to be concerned about releasing it when transmitting encryption.
There must be some important elements that you can't figure out just by reading or encrypting the message.
▪ A prime number is a positive integer which has no factor except 1 and itself.
▪ A factor which is a prime number is called prime factors.
▪ A composite number is an integer which has other factors beside 1 and itself.
Ex: - 6 is a composite number science 2 and 3 are also factors of 6. (Apart from 1 and 6)
We have ways of factoring large numbers into primes, but if we try to do it with a 200-digit number, or a
500-digit number, using the same algorithms we would use to factor a 7-digit number, the world’s most
advanced supercomputers still take absurd amount of time to finish. Like, timescales longer than the
formation of the planet and, for extremely large numbers, longer than the age of the universe itself.
So, there is a functional limit to the size of the numbers we can factor into primes, and this fact is essential
to modern computer security. Pretty much anything that computers can easily do without being able to
easily undo will be of interest to computer security. Modern encryption algorithms exploit the fact that we
can easily take two large primes and multiply them together to get a new, super-large number, but that no
computer yet created can take that super-large number and quickly figure out which two primes went into
making it.

b) Show that the events “The randomly selected customer purchased Milk” and “The randomly
selected customer purchased Fruits” are independent.
03) Suppose a voter poll is taken in three states. Of the total population of the three states, 45% live in
state A, 20% live in state B, and 35% live in state C. In state A, 40% of voters support the liberal
candidate, in state B, 30% of the voters support the liberal candidate, and in state C, 60% of the voters
support the liberal candidate.
Let A represents the event that voter is from state A, B represents the event that voter is from state B
and C represents the event that voter is from state C. Let L represents the event that a voter supports
the liberal candidate.

Q: - 01) In probability theory, conditional probability is a measure of the possibility of an event occurring
because another event has already occurred. This process is reliant on event X, which is in some way linked
to another event. In this example, a conditional probability can be used to investigate occurrence X in
connection to case Y. If Y is the important event, and X is known or supposed to have happened. P (Y | X)
or P X (Y). This is the area of probability X where probability Y intersects.
P(Y|X) = P (Y X) / P(X)
P(Y) P(Y X) P(X)
The following is the conditional probability of two independent events:

• If event Y is known, P(X|Y) = P(X)
• If event X is known, P(Y|X) = P(Y)

Q: - 05)
A discrete variable is one whose value may be calculated by counting. A continuous variable is one
whose value may be determined through measurement. A random variable is one whose value is
determined by the numerical outcome of a random event. The number of possible values for a discrete
random variable X is countable
▪ The number of possible values for a discrete random variable is limited. Any value could be
assigned to a continuous random variable (usually within a certain range).
Typically, a discrete random variable is an integer, although it can also be a rational fraction.

lOMoARcPSD|16180554
The result received by coin toss is an example of a discrete random variable with just the following
possible values: Head and Tail.
Another example of a discrete random variable is Number of planets around the sun with just following
possible values: 8 planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune)
There is no predetermined number of possible values for a continuous random variable; it can take on any
value (typically within a given range). The real value of a continuous variable is frequently a function of
measurement precision.
A continuous random variable might look like this: The amount of sugar in an orange, The time required to
run a mile, Number of stars in the space.
Example for discrete random variables: - X = Z (Z means integers)
Example for discrete random variables: - X = R (R means real numbers)

The difference would be that they’d use two different cubes with different outcomes, and the similarity
would be that they’d use two fair cubes with random variable with different result. Arnold will use random
variable A to record the score when the cubes are rolled, whereas Brain will use random variable B. Then
there’s a random variable with the values nn, which is the number of times arnold will roll the pair of fair
cubes, and pp, which is the likelihood of success, with the random variable AA for each value. Consider
the random variable section, which shows nn, the number of times Brain will roll the pair of fair cubes, and
pp, the chance of success, where each value has a random variable BB can take. The probability
distribution will have the same binomial distribution with the paremeters nn and pp.

Q: - 13)
Hashing: - A hash function converts an item of a specific type into an integer hash value within a specified
range. String, built shader programs, files, and even directories can all be used as input.
All items must be equal to double the total number of hash values for them to collide. If M values are
hashed and the total number of potential hashes is T, the predicted number of collisions is C = M * (M – 1)
/ 2T.
The load balancing algorithm determines which of the backends’ healthy servers will be chosen to service
the client request. The following are a few examples of regularly used algorithms: Requests are dispersed
across the set of servers in a round robin fashion.
Load balancing is a term used in computing to describe the art of allocating a collection of jobs among a
set of resources to improve overall processing efficiency. Load balancing can improve response time and
prevent certain computing nods from being overloaded while others are idle.
When compared to any other data structure, hashing provides a more secure and customizable technique of
obtaining data. It is more efficient than looking for lists and arrays. Hashing can retrieve data in 1.5 probes
in the extreme range, including anything saved in a tree. Unlike other data structures, hashing does not
specify the speed.
Load balancing allows you to distribute network traffic equally to avoid failure due to resource overload.
This method boosts application, website, database, and other computer resource performance and
availability. It also aids in the timely and accurate processing of user requests.
