DIRECTIONS for questions 51 and 52: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below. There are 360 poles, fixed symmetrically, all around a circular track. Four runners A, B, C and D, start simultaneously from the first pole and run, all in the same direction, around the track at speeds of a, b, c and d respectively.

57. A computer performs a certain algorithm to compute an output S

for an input N, both S and N being real values. The algorithm is as follows. Step Step Step Step Step 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: S = 0. If (N 1 or 1 N), then S = S + 1 else go to step 5. N = N 10. Go to step 2. Print S.

Which of the following statements best describes the algorithm?

(1) It calculates the highest power of 10 that can perfectly divide N. (2) It calculates the number of digits in N. (3) It calculates the number of zeros on the extreme right of N. (4) It calculates the number of digits to the left of the decimal point in N.

58. On the 5th of every month, Arvind, Sunil and Ramu go to

'Haldiram Grocery Store' to buy wheat and rice. Arvind always buys 5 kg of rice and 10 kg of wheat. Sunil always buys 10 kg of rice and 5 kg of wheat, while Ramu always buys 8 kg of wheat and 8 kg of rice. This month, because of a change in the prices, Arvind and Sunil have to pay 10% and 25% more respectively on their total bills, when compared to the previous month. If the ratio of the price (per kg) of rice and wheat, before the change in prices, was 3 : 2, by what percentage is Ramu's bill this month more than his bill last month?

(1) 16.2% (2) 17% (3) 17.5% (4) 18%

East and the other West. The connecting rope is initially taut and it is in the North-South direction. The initial length of the rope is 100 m. The rope breaks when its length becomes 260 m.
