Ch-1: Introduction
Ch-2: Network Models
1. Which of the following is an INCORRECT statement that is not a part of the
fundamental characteristic responsible for effectiveness of a data communication?
[A] Data must be retransmitted by the intended device or user and only by that
device or user after the system guarantees data delivery to the correct
destination.
[B] The system must deliver the data accurately.
[C] Jitter refers to the variation in the packet arrival time.
[D] In the case of video and audio, timely delivery means delivering data as they are
produced, in the same order that they are produced, and without significant delay.
This kind of delivery is called real-time transmission.
Correct Ans: A
Time needed for sol: 2 min
Reference on Text book: Page-4 2nd Paragraph - last line contains 4 fundamental
characteristics point wise.

2. Images are represented by bit patterns. For a 240 240 black and white image, a 1-bit
pattern is enough to represent a pixel. What is the total number of bits required to represent
the entire image pixel values?
[A] 120 120
[B] 12401240
[C] 240 240
[D] 240 240 2
Correct Ans: C
Time needed for sol: 1 min
Reference on Text book: Page-5 Hint: Statements taken under the heading ‘Image’.
For 1 pixel value, 1 bit is used. For 240 x 240 pixel intensity values, 240 x 20 = 57600
bits are used.

4. Which of the following is NOT a part of basic topologies possible for a network?
[A] Ring
[B] Star
[C] Delta
[D] Bus
Correct Ans: C
Time needed for sol: 1 min
Reference on Text book: Page-9 2nd Paragraph -last line.

5. In ________ topology, each device has a dedicated point-to-point link only to a

central controller, usually called a hub.
[A] Mesh
[B] Star
[C] Ring
[D] Bus
Correct Ans: B
Time needed for sol: 1 min
Reference on Text book: Page-10 3rd Paragraph

6. In a mesh topology, 7 devices have a dedicated point-to-point link to every other

device.If each physical link allows communication in both directions, then it needs
_________duplex-mode links.
[A] 21
 [B] 12
[C] 35
[D] 42
Correct Ans: A
Time needed for sol: 1 min
Reference on Text book: Page-9 3rd Paragraph under Mesh Topology

7. Topology ‘X’ is robust. If one link fails, only that link is affected. All other links remain
active. One of the disadvantages is its dependency on the hub. If the hub goes down, the
whole system is dead. The topology ‘X’ is
[A] Mesh
[B] Bus
[C] Star
[D] Ring
Correct Ans: C
Time needed for sol: 1 min
Reference on Text book: Page-11 2nd Paragraph

8. In a topology, when a device receives a signal intended for another device, its
repeater regenerates the bits and passes them along. The topology is
[A] Star
[B] Ring
[C] Bus
[D] Mesh
Correct Ans: B
Time needed for sol: 1 min
Reference on Text book: Page-12 3rd Paragraph under Ring Topology

9. Network ‘A’ is usually privately owned and connects some hosts in a single office,
building, or campus. It can be either simple or can be extended as per the needs of an
organization. The network here is
[A] WAN
[B] LAN
[C] WPAN
[D] WMAN
Correct Ans: B
Time needed for sol: 1 min
Reference on Text book: Page-13 2nd Paragraph

10. A packet sent by a host to another host in a Local Area Network (LAN) carries
[A] Source IP Address
[B] Flag bit
[C] Destination IP Address
[D] Source Port Number
Correct Ans: A and C (Multiple Answer Type)
Time needed for sol: 1 min
