Consider a finite sequence of random values $$X = \left\{ {{x_1},{x_2},{x_3}, - - - - - {x_n}} \right\}..$$ Let $${\mu _x}$$ be the mean and $${\sigma _x}$$ be the standard deviation of $$X.$$ Let another finite sequence $$Y$$ of equal length be derived from this $${y_i} = a.{x_i} + b,$$ where $$a$$ and $$b$$ are positive constants. Let $${\mu _y}$$ be the mean and $${\sigma _y}$$ be the standard deviation of this sequence. Which one of the following statements is incorrect?
A
Index position of mode of $$X$$ in $$X$$ is the same as the index position of mode of $$Y$$ in $$Y$$.
B
Index position of median of $$X$$ in $$X$$ is the same as the index position of median of $$Y$$ in $$Y.$$
C
$${\mu _y} = a{\mu _x} + b$$
D
$${\sigma _y} = a{\sigma _x} + b$$

Which one of the following options is correct given three positive integers $$x, y$$ and $$z$$, and a predicate
$$P\left( x \right) = \neg \left( {x = 1} \right) \wedge \forall y\left( {\exists z\left( {x = y * z} \right) \Rightarrow \left( {y = x} \right) \vee \left( {y = 1} \right)} \right)$$
A
$$P(x)$$ being true means that $$x$$ is a prime number
B
$$P(x)$$ being true means that $$x$$ is a number other than 1
C
$$P(x)$$ is always true irrespective of the value of $$x$$
D
$$P(x)$$ being true means that $$x$$ has exactly two factors other than 1 and $$x$$

An application loads $$100$$ libraries at startup. Loading each library requires exactly one disk access. The seek time of the disk to random location is given as $$10$$ $$ms$$. Rotational speed of disk is $$6000$$ $$rpm.$$ If all $$100$$ libraries are loaded from random locations on the disk, how long does it take to load all libraries? (The time to transfer data from the disk block once the head has been positioned at the start of the block may be neglected).
A
$$0.50s$$
B
$$1.50s$$
C
$$1.25s$$
D
$$1.00s$$
