Accepted Answer

Timesharing is a method where multiple users can access and use the resources of a single CPU through a network, each user having a portion of the CPU's time to ensure that the system can serve multiple users simultaneously.

Question 4

C is known as
A)Low level programming language
B)High level programming language
C)Machine language
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

C is considered a high-level programming language because it provides abstraction from the hardware and allows for easier programming compared to low-level languages like assembly or machine language.

Question 5

Which of the following is language processor?
A)Assembler
B)Interpreter
C)Compiler
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

All of the above options, Assembler, Interpreter, and Compiler, are types of language processors. An assembler translates assembly language into machine code, a compiler translates high-level programming language into machine language, and an interpreter directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language without previously converting them to an object code or machine code.

Question 6

_______ converts an assembly language program into machine language.
A)Assembler
B)Interpreter
C)Compiler
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

An assembler is specifically designed to convert assembly language programs into machine language, making it possible for the computer's processor to execute the instructions.

Question 7

MS-DOS is a ________ operating system offered by Microsoft.
A)Single-user, single tasking
B)Single user, multitasking
C)Multiuser, multitasking
D)Multiuser, single tasking

Accepted Answer

MS-DOS is a single-user, single-tasking operating system, meaning it is designed for use by one user at a time and can only run one program at a time.

Question 8

A computer connected to a network is called a ________.
A)Hub
B)Bridge
C)Router
D)Node

Accepted Answer

A computer connected to a network is referred to as a "node." This term is used to describe any device that can send, receive, or forward information over a communications channel within a network.

Question 9

In ________ topology, each device connects to a central point through cables in a network.
A)Bus topology
B)Star topology
C)Ring topology
D)Hybrid topology

Accepted Answer

In a star topology, each device in the network is connected to a central hub or switch, making it easy to manage and add new devices without affecting the rest of the network. This central point of connection is what distinguishes star topology from other types.

Question 10

Which of the following is an example of Star topology?
A)ARCnet
B)10 Base-T, 100 Base-TX
C)Neither (A) nor (B)
D)Both (A) and (B)

Accepted Answer

10 Base-T and 100 Base-TX are examples of Ethernet standards that use a star topology, where each device is connected to a central hub or switch.

Question 11

FDDI is an example of _______.
A)Bus topology
B)Star topology
C)Ring topology
D)Hybrid topology

Accepted Answer

FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) is an example of ring topology because it connects all nodes in a circular fashion, where each node is connected to two other nodes, forming a ring for data transmission.

Question 12

________ refers to a network used to connect different equipments from remote areas.
A)LAN
B)WAN
C)MAN
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

WAN (Wide Area Network) is designed to connect computers and other devices across regional, national, or international boundaries, making it the correct choice for connecting equipment from remote areas.

Question 13

_______refer to the LANs connected through high-speed, seamless inter-connection within a 'metropolitan' area.
A)Remote LAN
B)WAN
C)MAN
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

MAN stands for Metropolitan Area Network, which refers to a network that spans a physical area larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, typically covering a city or a metropolitan area.

Question 14

_________ is the lower part of TCP/IP whose function is to handle the address part of each packet to enable it to be delivered to the right destination.
A)IP
B)TCP
C)FTP

Question 15

________is the simplest and most commonly used protocol for downloading/uploading a file from/to a server.
A)IP
B)TCP
C)FTP
D)Telnet

Accepted Answer

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the simplest and most commonly used protocol specifically designed for downloading and uploading files from and to a server.

Question 16

_________ is a unique number associated with each computer making it uniquely identifiable amongst all the computers connected to the Internet.
A)IP address
B)MAC address
C)Inode
D)None of the above
