b. 11581x
c. 694860x
d. 694861x
Correct Answer: d. 694861x
Question from UPSC Prelims 2022 CSAT Paper
Explanation :
Total number of seconds in x weeks, x days, x hours, x minutes and x seconds is 694861x.
So the correct answer is d. 694861x.
Here’s how you can calculate it: 1 week = 7 days 1 day = 24 hours 1 hour = 60 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds
So, x weeks = (7 * 24 * 60 * 60) * x seconds x days = (24 * 60 * 60) * x seconds x hours = (60 * 60) * x seconds x minutes = (60) * x seconds
Adding all of these together with the additional x seconds gives us: 604800x + 86400x + 3600x + 60x + x=694861x
