Question 16 NECO • 2017 • DATA_PROCESSING • objective

During a data processing cycle, the four stages - Input (\(I\)), Process (\(P\)), Output (\(O\)) and Storage (\(S\)) - take the following relationships: the processing stage takes twice as long as the input stage, the output stage takes 5 minutes less than the input stage, and the storage stage occupies exactly \(30\%\) of the total cycle time. If the total time for one complete cycle is 55 minutes, determine the time (in minutes) taken by each stage and state what percentage of the total time is spent on processing.

Answer Options

A. Input = 11.0 min, Process = 22.0 min, Output = 6.0 min, Storage = 16.0 min; Processing accounts for 40.0 % of the total time.
Correct Answer B. Input = 10.9 min, Process = 21.8 min, Output = 5.9 min, Storage = 16.5 min; Processing accounts for 39.5 % of the total time.
C. Input = 12.0 min, Process = 24.0 min, Output = 7.0 min, Storage = 12.0 min; Processing accounts for 43.6 % of the total time.
D. Input = 9.5 min, Process = 19.0 min, Output = 4.5 min, Storage = 22.0 min; Processing accounts for 34.5 % of the total time.
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Input = 10.9 min, Process = 21.8 min, Output = 5.9 min, Storage = 16.5 min; Processing accounts for 39.5 % of the total time.
