Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a disk with 4 zones. If the outer zone holds 1000MB, and each subsequent inner zone holds 50% less, what is the total capacity of the disk?

💡 Hint: Consider how much data each zone holds and sum them up.

Challenge 2 Hard

A disk has two types of data: critical and standard. If critical data occupies 30% of the total disk space and standard data occupies the rest, how much space is allocated to standard data on a disk of 500GB?

💡 Hint: Calculate what percentage remains after allocating the critical data.
