A. ROM is not "Real optical memory." ROM stands for Read-Only Memory, which is non-volatile
memory used to store permanent data and instructions that cannot be modified or erased during
normal computer operations.
B. RAM (Random Access Memory) stores the instructions and data that the computer is currently
working on. It is volatile memory that allows for fast read and write operations, providing temporary
storage for active programs and data.
C. ROM commonly stores the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), which contains firmware that
initializes hardware and provides the computer's basic functionality when it is powered on.
D. RAM allows the user to read and write data. It provides temporary storage for data and instructions
that can be read from and written to by the computer's processor. RAM is used for active data
manipulation and is much faster than other storage options.
E. Both RAM and ROM lose their data when the power is turned off. RAM is volatile memory,
meaning its contents are lost when the power supply is interrupted or shut down. Similarly, ROM
retains its data even without power, but it cannot be modified or written to during normal operations.
656. Solution: Twitter does indeed allow users to send small posts known as "tweets" with a
character limit of up to 280 characters.
By default, blogs typically display posts in chronological order on the home page, with the earliest
post appearing at the top. This allows readers to see the most recent content first and scroll down to
view older posts.
657. Solution: Social engineering refers to the manipulation of individuals to gain unauthorized

662. Solution:
1. 1 byte = 8 bits
2. 1 KB = 2 10 byte
3. The base 10 value of the binary number 001111 is:
= 0 * 2^5 + 0 * 2^4 + 1 * 2^3 + 1 * 2^2 + 1 * 2^1 + 1 * 2^0 = 0 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15
4. To calculate the number of minutes it would take to upload a 75-megabyte file at a 2 Megabits per
second upload speed:
Convert the file size from megabytes to megabits: 75 MB * 8 = 600 megabits (Mb).
600 Mb / 2 Mbps = 300 seconds = 5 minuites.
663. Solution: CC (Carbon Copy): CC allows you to send a copy of an email to additional recipients.
When you add email addresses to the CC field, the original recipients and the CC recipients can
see who else received the email. This is commonly used when you want to keep someone
informed or involved in the conversation but they are not the primary recipient.
BCC (Blind Carbon Copy): BCC also allows you to send a copy of an email to additional recipients,
but unlike CC, the recipients in the BCC field are not visible to other recipients. This means that the
recipients in the BCC field remain anonymous to others.
So as Ashok is in BCC field he will not be visible to others who are in to field and cc field. But as to
and cc fields are public fields, Ashok can see them.
664. Solution: DuckDuckGo, Google, Yahoo search RELD, and Bing are all popular web search
engines. These search engines index web pages and provide users with search results based on
their queries.
Pinterest, on the other hand, is not primarily a web search engine. It is a visual discovery and
bookmarking platform where users can find and save images or "pins" related to their interests.

667. Solution: The main benefits of using an SSD over an HDD include faster data access times,
lighter weight, lower power consumption, and increased reliability. Unlike HDD, SSDs don’t use
spinning disks.
668. Solution:
1. 1 Byte = 8 bits.
2. In the binary number 110, the rightmost digit is 0, which represents 2^0 (2 to the power of 0), which
equals 1. The middle digit is 1, representing 2^1 (2 to the power of 1), which equals 2. The leftmost
digit is also 1, representing 2^2 (2 to the power of 2), which equals 4.
To calculate the base-10 value, you add up the values of each digit: 4 + 2 + 0 = 6.
3. The value of p is determined by the equation 2^p = 1,048,576, where 1 megabyte is equal to 2^p
bytes. By taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides, the value of p is found to be approximately 20.
Therefore, if there are 2^p bytes in 1 megabyte, the value of p is 20.
4. The ISP company advertises a broadband download speed of 128 megabits per second, which
translates to 16 megabytes per second. This means that the broadband connection can download 16
megabytes of data every second. If we consider that each file is 4 megabytes in size, then the
broadband connection can download 4 such files in one second, resulting in a rate of 4 files per
second.
669. Solution: Statement I is true because blogs are typically organized in reverse chronological
order, with the most recent entries appearing first. This is because blogs are designed to be a
way for people to share their thoughts and ideas in a timely manner, so it makes sense to have
the most recent entries at the top.
Statement II is also true. A hit is a term used in search engine optimization (SEO) to refer to the
number of times a website or web page is visited by a user. When a user enters a keyword into a
search engine, the search engine will return a list of websites that match the keyword. The number
of times a website appears in the search results is a measure of its popularity, and this is referred to
as the website's "hits."
670. Solution: FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a standard network protocol used for
transferring files between a client and a server over a computer network, such as the internet.
FTP operates on the client-server model, where the client initiates a connection to the server
and can perform various file operations such as uploading (putting) and downloading (getting)
files, renaming files, deleting files, creating directories, etc.

678. Solution: To determine the value of the formula = SUMIF(B1:B3, ">" & 3, C1:C3), we need to
evaluate the cells in column C that correspond to cells in column B where the value in column B
is greater than 3. Let's go through the calculation:
In cell B1, the value is 5, which is greater than 3. So, we consider the corresponding value in cell
C1, which is 1.
In cell B2, the value is 3, which is not greater than 3. So, we skip the corresponding value in cell C2.
In cell B3, the value is 5, which is greater than 3. So, we consider the corresponding value in cell
C3, which is 7.
Now, let's sum up the values we considered: 1 + 7 = 8.

digital security infrastructure. PKI refers to a set of technologies, policies, and procedures that
enable the secure exchange of information over digital networks. It provides a framework for
managing digital certificates, digital signatures, and encryption keys to ensure the
confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of electronic transactions and communications.
685. Solution: Given that each song is approximately 4 Mbytes in size, the total size of the 4000
songs can be calculated as follows:
Total Size = 4000 songs × 4 Mbytes/song
Converting Mbytes to Gigabytes (GB):
Total Size = (4000 songs × 4 Mbytes/song) ÷ 1024 Mbytes/GB
Total Size = 16000 Mbytes ÷ 1024 Mbytes/GB
Total Size ≈ 15.625 GB
Therefore, Amit will need to use a memory stick of at least 16 GB (option 2) to accommodate the
4000 songs.
686. Solution: 5G-enabled technology is expected to replace 4G technology for mobile

communication worldwide. The potential advantages of 5G include greater interconnectivity
for the Internet of Things (IoT) and faster download speeds. However, the statements claiming

689. Solution: Cameras that handle a higher number of Megapixels will be able to capture more
details than those with a lower number.
Images that are stored in a Raw format have not been processed and will take up more storage space
than images that are stored in JPEG format.
The Capacity of your storage device determines how many images you can store.
690. Solution: 128 kilobits per second (kbps) is equal to 128/8 = 16 kilobytes per second (KB/s).
(Since 1 byte = 8 bits)
Lets calculate the file size for a 3-minute song:
File size = 16 KB/s * 180 seconds = 2,880 kilobytes (KB)
Now, let's determine the number of songs that can be stored on the 4-gigabyte MP3 player:
4 gigabytes (GB) = 4 * 1024 * 1024 KB = 4194304 KB
Number of songs = 4194304 KB / 2,880 KB (per song) = 1,456.35 songs (approximately).
Therefore, Tina can store approximately 1,456 songs on her 4-gigabyte MP3 player.
691. Solution:
A. You can create folders to store and organize your emails. This is a common feature in most email
services or clients, allowing users to create folders or labels to categorize and manage their emails
efficiently.
D. You can add signatures to your emails to give personal contact details. Email clients typically offer
the option to include a signature at the end of outgoing emails. Signatures often contain personal
contact details, such as name, job title, phone number, and email address.
Regarding the other statements:
B. Using the Cc feature will hide all other recipients from each other. This statement is false. When
using the "Cc" (Carbon Copy) feature in an email, all recipients can see the list of other recipients.
To hide recipients from each other, the "Bcc" (Blind Carbon Copy) feature should be used.
C. You can add attachments of any file size to an email. This statement is false. Most email services
and clients impose limitations on attachment sizes. The exact size limit varies depending on the
service or client, but there is typically a maximum file size allowed for attachments.
E. You can only send emails from a laptop computer. This statement is false. Emails can be sent from
various devices, including laptops, desktop computers, smartphones, tablets, and other internet-
connected devices. As long as the device has access to an email service or client, it can be used to
send emails.
692. Solution: Statement I is correct. While .text and .csv are indeed file extensions commonly used
for generic text files, .rtf (Rich Text Format) is a file extension used for text files that can
contain formatting and other rich text elements.
Statement II is correct. The .rar file extension is indeed an acronym for Roshal Archive, which refers
to a compressed file format developed by Eugene Roshal, a Russian software engineer. The .rar
format is commonly used for compressing and archiving files, similar to the .zip format.
693. Solution: WLAN stands for Wireless Local Area Network. It is a type of wireless network that
allows devices to connect and communicate with each other using radio waves instead of

Memory), and finally SSD (Solid State Drive), which has the slowest access time among the
three.
695. Solution: CSV stands for Comma-Separated Values. It is a file format commonly used for
storing and exchanging tabular data, such as spreadsheets or databases. In a CSV file, each line
represents a row of data, and within each line, the values are separated by commas (hence the
name "comma-separated").
696. Solution: Biometric is a type of registration system that uses fingerprints or retina scans to
register students.
A type of registration that uses a form that has been completed with a pencil and is then scanned by
a machine after being completed is called OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) registration.
A tag that uses microchips and radio signals worn by all students that register them when they enter
the classroom is called RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) registration.
Smart Cards are made of plastic and contain a chip that can be swiped through to register the
student.
697. Solution: Statement - I: 0.2 terabytes (TB) is equal to 204.8 gigabytes (GB).
This statement is true. In the context of digital storage, 1 terabyte (TB) is equal to 1024 gigabytes
(GB). Therefore, to convert 0.2 terabytes to gigabytes, we multiply it by 1024:
0.2 TB * 1024 GB/TB = 204.8 GB.
Statement - II: 1 petabyte (PB) is equal to 2^53 bits.
This statement is true. In the context of digital storage, 1 petabyte (PB) is equal to 1024 terabytes
(TB) or 2^50 bytes. However, the statement claims that 1 petabyte is equal to 2^53 bits, which is
correct. The correct conversion would be:
1 PB = 1024 TB = 1024 * 1024 GB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 MB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 KB =
1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes = 2^50 * 2^3 Bits = 2 53 bits
698. Solution: Statement A is true because the World Wide Web (WWW) is a collection of websites,
which are in turn collections of web pages. Web pages are multimedia documents that can
contain text, images, videos, and other forms of media.
Statement B is true because Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are unique addresses that identify
web pages on the WWW. URLs specify the location of a web page on a web server, as well as the
protocol that should be used to access the page.
Statement C is false because web resources can be accessed by any operating system that has a web
browser installed. For example, web resources can be accessed by Windows, macOS, Linux, and
Android operating systems.
699. Solution:
A. matches with 2 because a blue-ray disc is an optical storage media that uses blue/violet laser
technology to store data.
B matches with 4 because an SSD is a solid-state drive that stores data by controlling the movement of
electrons within a microchip.
C matches with 1 because ROM is read-only memory that cannot be written to.
D matches with 3 because RAM is random-access memory that stores data that is currently in use.
700. Solution: SMS stands for Short Message Service. It is a text messaging service that allows users
to send and receive short text messages (up to 160 characters) between mobile phones and
other mobile devices. SMS messages are sent and received using cellular networks, so they do
not require an internet connection.
701. Solution: The correct order of the stages A-E when an email is sent and received is as follows:
IFAS Publications
www.ifasonline.com
193
1. The sender composes his message and activates the send command.
2. Message is sent to sender's ISP mail server, and this server examines the address associated with the
message.
3. Sender's ISP mail server decides how to route the message, and the message travels over the internet
and arrives at the recipient's ISP mail server.
4. Message is held in the recipient's electronic mail (email) box, and the recipient logs on to read his
message.
5. The message is retrieved and sent to the recipient's computer to be opened and read.
702. Solution: Statement 1: (4A2F)_16 = (18991)_10

To evaluate this statement, we need to convert the hexadecimal number (4A2F) to decimal.
(4A2F)_16 = (4 * 16^3) + (10 * 16^2) + (2 * 16^1) + (15 * 16^0) = 18991
Therefore, Statement 1 is true. (4A2F) in hexadecimal is equal to (18991) in decimal.
Statement 2: (6940)_10 = (1B1C)_16
To evaluate this statement, we need to convert the decimal number (6940) to hexadecimal.
(6940)_10 = (1 * 16^3) + (11 * 16^2) + (1 * 16^1) + (12 * 16^0) = 1B1C
Therefore, Statement 2 is true. (6940) in decimal is equal to (1B1C) in hexadecimal.
In conclusion, both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
703. Solution: The following are the three types of primary storage:
RAM (Random Access Memory): RAM is the most common type of primary storage. It is volatile,
meaning that it loses its contents when the power is turned off. RAM is used to store data and
instructions that are currently in use.
ROM (Read-Only Memory): ROM is a type of non-volatile memory that can only be read from.
ROM is used to store firmware, which is the software that controls the hardware of the computer.
Cache Memory: Cache memory is a type of high-speed memory that is used to store frequently
accessed data. Cache memory is located between the CPU and the main memory (RAM).
704. Solution:

B. ID given to a device when it connects to the internet; the ID changes each time the device
connects - IV. Internet Protocol (IP) Address
C. Company that provides the user with access to the internet for a monthly subscription. - I.
Internet Service Provider
D. ID which uniquely identifies the device connected to the internet; this ID rarely changes. - III.
Media Access Control (MAC) address
705. Solution: Data compression involves reducing the size of a file or data by encoding the
information in a more efficient way. The goal is to represent the same information using fewer
bits, thereby reducing the storage space required and improving transmission efficiency.
Various compression algorithms and techniques are used to achieve this, such as removing
redundant information, encoding patterns, or using mathematical algorithms to compress the
data.
706. Solution: Statement-l: Twitter is an example of a Web 2.0 application.

This statement is true. Twitter is considered an example of a Web 2.0 application. Web 2.0 refers to a
second generation of the World Wide Web that emphasizes user-generated content, interactivity, and

This statement is false. Web 2.0 is not limited to static text-based information websites. In fact, Web
2.0 represents a shift from static, one-way communication to dynamic, interactive platforms. It
encompasses a wide range of websites and applications that facilitate user participation, content
creation, and social interactions.
707. Solution: Synchronous communication is a type of communication where two or more people
are communicating at the same time. This means that they can see each other's messages and
respond immediately.
The following systems use synchronous communication:
Skype video call: Skype is a video calling software that allows users to make video calls to each
other.
Facebook Chat: Facebook Chat is a chat feature on Facebook that allows users to chat with each
other in real time.
Messaging on Snapchat: Messaging on Snapchat is a chat feature on Snapchat that allows users to
send messages to each other that disappear after a certain amount of time.
Telephone call: A telephone call is a call that is made over a telephone line.
708. Solution: A. Solid State Drive (SSD) - 3. Has no moving part and is therefore a very robust and
reliable technology.
B. ROM - 4. Non-volatile in nature that stores firmware.
C. DVD-RAM - 1. Optical media uses concentric tracks to allow simultaneous read-write operations.
D. RAM - 2. Volatile in nature that stores programs and data in current use.
709. Solution: In this case, the pattern is adding 3 to the previous value in each cell. So, the contents
of the cells B11, B12, and B13 will be:
B11: 9 (6 + 3)
B12: 12 (9 + 3)
B13: 15 (12 + 3)
710. Solution: The Semantic Web is a key aspect of Web 3.0, where information is structured and
tagged in a way that allows machines to understand and interpret its meaning. It involves
adding metadata, ontologies, and semantic annotations to web content, enabling computers to
comprehend and process the data more intelligently.
711. Solution:
Statement I is false. A portable hard drive is an external storage device, not an internal memory.
Internal memory is the memory that is directly accessible by the CPU. It is used to store data and
instructions that are currently in use. External memory is the memory that is not directly accessible
by the CPU. It is used to store data that is not currently in use.
Statement II is true. Magnetic tape is a type of storage media that is used to store backup data. It is a
reliable and cost-effective way to store large amounts of data.
712. Solution: A standard format for compressed video files is MPEG.

This statement is true. MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is a standard format for compressing
video files. It is widely used for video compression and allows for efficient storage and transmission
of video content.
WAV files are not compressed.
This statement is true. WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) files are typically uncompressed audio
files. They store audio data in a raw and uncompressed format, resulting in larger file sizes
compared to compressed audio formats like MP3.
A compressed file will be transmitted faster over a network.
IFAS Publications
www.ifasonline.com
195
This statement is generally true. Compressed files tend to have smaller file sizes compared to their
uncompressed counterparts. This smaller file size can result in faster transmission over a network
since less data needs to be transferred.
713. Solution:
A. Carbon copy - 2. Allows you to send the same email to more than one person at once.
B. Email signature - 1. Allows you to add personal data to the email.
C. Address book - 4. Allows you to store contact details.
D. File attachment - 3. Allows you to send a photograph with your email.
714. Solution: Email encryption is a way of scrambling the content of an email message so that it
can only be read by the intended recipient. This is done by using a cryptographic algorithm to
convert the message into a format that is unreadable by anyone who does not have the key to
decrypt it.
715. Solution: The statements provided about music files are both false. Contrary to Statement I, a
music clip stored in MP3 format takes up less memory than the same clip stored in WAV format
because MP3 files are compressed. Additionally, Statement II is false as well since music files
stored in MP3 format are generally of lower quality compared to files stored in WAV format, as
MP3 is a lossy compression format.
716. Solution: Statement B is accurate: Web 2.0 brings people closer together with information
using machines. Web 2.0 refers to the second generation of the World Wide Web, which
introduced interactive and user-generated content, social media platforms, and collaborative
tools.
Statement C is accurate: Web 3.0, also known as the Semantic Web, aims to bring machines closer
together using information. It focuses on the intelligent understanding and processing of data by
machines to provide more meaningful and personalized experiences.
Statement A is not accurate: Web 2.0 is not a simple static website without any interaction with
users. It is characterized by user participation, dynamic content, and interactive features.
717. Solution:
A. Inkjet printer - 3. Droplets of ink are propelled onto paper.
B. LCD screen - 1. Flat panel display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals.
C. LED screen - 2. Flat panel display that uses an array of light-emitting diodes as pixels.
D. Laser Printer - 4. Electrically charged powdered ink is transferred onto paper.
718. Solution: Web 3.0 is an idea for a new iteration of the World Wide Web which incorporates
concepts such as decentralization, blockchain technologies, and token-based economics. Web
3.0 is also sometimes referred to as the Semantic Web, which is a vision of Tim Berners-Lee,
the inventor of the World Wide Web, for an intelligent, self-sufficient, and open Internet that
employed AI and machine learning to function as a "global brain" and interpret content
conceptually and contextually.
719. Solution: Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) in an email system allows the sender to conceal recipients'
email addresses from other recipients.
Phishing is a form of cyber attack where individuals are deceived into revealing sensitive
information by impersonating a trustworthy entity.
Spamming refers to the unsolicited sending of bulk messages, usually advertisements, to a large
number of recipients. It is not necessarily an attempt to acquire sensitive information.

720. Solution: Statement I is False. Mainframe computers typically have much larger internal
memories than desktop computers. For example, a mainframe computer might have a memory
capacity of several terabytes, while a desktop computer might have a memory capacity of only
a few gigabytes.
Statement II is True. Spreadsheets and word processors are both examples of application software.
Application software is software that is designed to help users perform specific tasks, such as
creating spreadsheets, word processing documents, or managing databases.
721. Solution: Sensors are commonly used in activities such as activating a burglar alarm and
opening automatic doors. These tasks require the detection of specific events or conditions,
which can be achieved through the use of sensors. For example, a burglar alarm may be
equipped with motion sensors or door/window sensors to detect unauthorized entry. Similarly,
automatic doors rely on sensors to detect the presence of individuals or objects and trigger the
opening mechanism. In both cases, sensors play a crucial role in controlling and monitoring the
respective activities.
722. Solution: Statement B: The internet is a group of interconnected networks. This is a true
statement because the internet is made up of millions of smaller networks, all of which are
connected together.
Statement C: An extranet is an internal network that can be accessed externally by authorized users.
This is also a true statement because an extranet is a type of network that is designed to allow
authorized users outside of an organization to access certain resources on the organization's internal
network.
Statement A is false. An intranet is a private network that is used within an organization. It is not a
public network.
723. Solution: The pair of acronym and its expansion that is incompatible is "3. Blog - weB LOGIC."
The expansion "weB LOGIC" does not accurately represent the meaning of the term "Blog,"
which refers to a web-based platform or website where individuals or groups share
information, opinions, and experiences.
724. Solution: To calculate the approximate number of photographs that can be stored on a memory
stick with a 4GB capacity, we need to divide the total capacity (4GB) by the size of each
photograph (10 MB).
First, we need to convert the capacity from GB to MB:
4GB = 4,000 MB
Then, we divide the total capacity by the size of each photograph:
4,000 MB / 10 MB = 400
Therefore, a memory stick with a 4GB capacity can store approximately 400 photographs.
725. Solution: Statement I: RAM is writable, ROM is read-only.

Statement II: CD-RW can be rewritten, CD-R is write-once.
726. Solution: The Word Count command in Microsoft Word displays the number of words,
characters, paragraphs, and lines in the current document.
Words: A word is a sequence of characters that is separated by spaces or punctuation marks.
Characters: A character is any symbol that can be typed on a keyboard, including letters, numbers,
punctuation marks, and spaces.
Paragraphs: A paragraph is a group of sentences that are indented together.
Lines: A line is a single row of text in a document.

727. Solution: Statement E is not correct as Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide users with
access to the Internet. But rest of the statements regarding web browser are true.
728. Solution: Statement I: ASCII, a character-encoding scheme, is an acronym for American

Standard Code for Intelligent Information.
This statement is incorrect. The acronym "ASCII" stands for American Standard Code for
Information Interchange, not "Intelligent Information."
Statement II: (37.25)_10 = (100101.01)_2
This statement is correct. It represents the conversion of the decimal number 37.25 to binary, where
(37.25)_10 is equal to (100101.01)_2.
729. Solution:
Statement I: An Operating System controls peripherals and provides protection against viruses.
True. An operating system (OS) is a software program that controls the hardware and software of a
computer. It is responsible for tasks such as managing files, running programs, and controlling
peripherals. The OS also provides protection against viruses by scanning files for malicious code
and blocking access to infected files.
Statement II: In word processing and desktop publishing, the terms portrait and landscape refer to
Page Layout.
True. In word processing and desktop publishing, the terms portrait and landscape refer to the
orientation of a page. A portrait page is taller than it is wide, while a landscape page is wider than it
is tall. The default orientation for a word processing document is portrait, but the user can change
the orientation to landscape if they want.
Therefore, both statements are true.
730. Solution:
PDF: PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It is a file format that is used to represent
documents in a format that is independent of the software used to create or view the document. PDF
files can contain text, images, and other elements, but they cannot contain formatting information
such as fonts, font sizes, or paragraph styles.
CSV: CSV stands for comma-separated values. It is a file format that is used to store tabular data.
CSV files are typically used to exchange data between different applications. CSV files can contain
text, numbers, and dates, but they cannot contain formatting information.
GIF: GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. It is a file format that is used to store images. GIF
files can contain text, but they cannot contain formatting information.
RTF: RTF stands for Rich Text Format. It is a file format that is used to store documents that contain
formatting information. RTF files can contain text, images, and other elements, and they can also
contain formatting information such as fonts, font sizes, and paragraph styles.
TXT: TXT stands for plain text. It is a file format that is used to store text without any formatting
information. TXT files can only contain text, and they cannot contain images or other elements.
731. Solution:
A. Objects on the slide that hold text, pictures, and more are called Placeholders.
This statement is true. Placeholders in MS PowerPoint are predefined areas on a slide where you can
insert text, images, charts, or other content.
B. MS-PowerPoint automatically opens with Windows Operating System.
This statement is false. MS PowerPoint is not automatically opened with the Windows Operating
System. It needs to be launched separately by the user.
C. A view that displays the slides of a presentation as miniature representations of the slides is called
Slide Sorter view.
IFAS Publications
www.ifasonline.com
198
This statement is true. Slide Sorter view in MS PowerPoint displays the slides as miniature
representations, allowing you to easily rearrange, delete, or modify the order of the slides in a
presentation.
732. Solution: Statement I: Fibre-optic cable makes use of light pulses to transmit data and is most
appropriate to connect computers in a small building.
This statement is false. While it is true that fibre-optic cables use light pulses to transmit data, they
are suitable for various network environments, including both small and large buildings. Fibre-optic
cables are known for their high bandwidth and long-distance capabilities, making them ideal for
long-range communication and high-speed data transmission.
Statement II: URL is the text used by web browsers to locate a web address on the Internet.
This statement is true. URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and is the address used to identify
and locate resources (such as web pages, files, or services) on the Internet. Web browsers use URLs
to retrieve the requested resources from web servers.
733. Solution: The camera's memory card has a capacity of 32 gigabytes. To determine the
maximum number of photos that can be stored on the memory card, we need to calculate the
total storage space available on the card and divide it by the size of each compressed image file.
The camera's resolution is given as 20 megapixels. Since each pixel requires an average of 1 byte in
a compressed image file, the size of each image file can be calculated as follows:
Size of each image file = Resolution in megapixels * Size per pixel
= 20 megapixels * 1 byte per pixel
= 20 megabytes
Since 1 kilobyte is equal to 1024 bytes, we can convert the memory card's capacity from gigabytes
to megabytes:
32 gigabytes = 32 * 1024 megabytes = 32768 megabytes
Now we can calculate the maximum number of photos that can be stored on the memory card:
Maximum number of photos = Memory card capacity / Size of each image file
= 32768 megabytes / 20 megabytes
= 1638.4
Rounding down to the nearest whole number, the maximum number of photos that can be stored on
the memory card is 1638.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: 1638.
734. Solution: The statements B, C, and D are true about Bluetooth connectivity.
B. No wires are needed when exchanging files via Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a wireless technology, so no
wires are needed to connect two devices.
C. Bluetooth allows you to speak hands-free on a Mobile phone. Bluetooth headsets allow you to make
and receive calls without having to hold your phone to your ear.
D. Music can be played wirelessly from your Mobile phone to a speaker using Bluetooth. Bluetooth
speakers allow you to play music from your phone without having to connect it to a wired speaker.
The statements A and E are false about Bluetooth connectivity.
A. Bluetooth will only work over long distances. Bluetooth has a maximum range of about 30 feet, so it
is not a good choice for transferring files over long distances.
E. Transfer speeds when sending files are faster than using Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is a much faster wireless
technology than Bluetooth, so transfer speeds when sending files are typically faster over Wi-Fi.
Therefore, the correct answers are B, C, and D.
735. Solution: Statement I: A file saved in portable document format (.pdf ) is a generic text file.
False. PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It is a file format that is used to represent
documents in a format that is independent of the software used to create or view the document. PDF
IFAS Publications
www.ifasonline.com
199
files can contain text, images, and other elements, but they cannot contain formatting information
such as fonts, font sizes, or paragraph styles. Therefore, PDF files are not generic text files.
Statement II: Moving Pictures experts group layer 4 (.mp4) is an example of generic image file
format.
False. MP4 stands for MPEG-4 Part 14. It is a file format that is used to store audio and video data.
MP4 files can contain images, but they are not typically used to store images. Therefore, MP4 files
are not generic image file formats.
Therefore, both statements are false.
736. Solution: The full form of RFID is Radio Frequency Identification. It is a technology that uses
radio waves to identify objects. Infrared is a form of light that is invisible to the human eye. It is
not used in RFID technology.
737. Solution: the process of magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) involves the following
steps:
MICR text is passed over an MICR reader.
Ink on the paper is first magnetised.
Characters are then passed over the MICR read head.
As each character passes over the head, it produces a unique waveform.
The waveform is recognised by the computer system.
738. Solution: Moodle is an open-source learning management system (LMS) that is used to create
and deliver online courses. Aarogya Setu is an open-source contact tracing app that is used to
track the spread of COVID-19. Skype is a proprietary peer-to-peer communication platform
that is not built on an open-source platform.
Therefore, the only applications that are built on top of open-source digital platforms are Moodle
and Aarogya Setu.
739. Solution: Web 1.0 was the first generation of the World Wide Web. It was a read-only web,
where users could only view content that was created by others.
Web 2.0 was the second generation of the World Wide Web. It was a read-write web, where users
could create and share their own content.
Web 3.0 is the third generation of the World Wide Web. It is a semantic web, where data is
structured in a way that can be understood by machines.
Web 5.0 is the fifth generation of the World Wide Web. It is an emotional web, where the focus is on
the user's emotional experience.
740. Solution: Statement I: The National Mission on Education Through Information and
Communication Technology (NMEICT) has been envisaged as a centrally sponsored scheme.
This statement is true. The NMEICT is a centrally sponsored scheme that was launched by the
Government of India in 2009. It aims to provide ICT infrastructure and resources to educational
institutions across the country.
Statement II: The NMEICT has produced wondrous benefits for young minds studying in primary,
secondary and higher education institutions.
This statement is false. There are a number of factors that could affect the benefits of the NMEICT,
such as the quality of the ICT infrastructure, the training of teachers, and the availability of
educational resources. It is also important to consider the needs of different types of students, as the
benefits of the NMEICT may not be the same for all students.

The other acronyms are matched correctly with their full forms
744. Solution: 'The browser requests the webserver to identify itself by providing its certificate.
This is sent and a check is performed to see if it is authentic. If it is, the browser sends a signal
back to the web server and data transmission begins.
745. Solution: Statement I: Virtual reality is an artificially created environment used to give a
feeling of 'being there', not Al (Artificial Intelligence). Virtual reality does not learn from
changing circumstances.
Statement II: Laser printers also use ink, but in a different form. They use toner, which is a
powdered ink, to produce documents.
746. Solution: By networking computers and devices, resources like printers can be shared among
multiple users, leading to cost reduction. Additionally, software licenses for networked
computers are often more cost-effective. Furthermore, a central file server allows for reliable
data access and management. However, option C is incorrect as networking enables users to
share files and data.
747. Solution: Disk Defragmentor is a utility that is used to reorganise the sectors on a hard disk so
that files can be stored in contiguous data blocks. This can improve the performance of the
hard disk, as files can be read and written more quickly.
Disk formatter is a utility that is used to prepare a disk to allow data files to be stored and retrieved.
This involves formatting the disk, which means creating a file system on the disk. The file system is
a way of organizing the data on the disk so that it can be easily accessed.
Device driver is a software program that allows a computer to communicate with a device. The
device driver translates data between the computer and the device, so that the device can be used by
the computer.
Solid state drive (SSD) is a type of storage device that uses flash memory to store data. SSDs have
no moving parts, which makes them more durable than traditional hard disks. SSDs are also faster
than traditional hard disks, as they do not have to wait for the read/write heads to move to the
correct location on the disk.
748. Solution: Microsoft has announced that it will stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 on June
15, 2022. This means that the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will no longer receive

Statement II is also true. In the context of computer security, "crackers" refer to individuals who
break into computer systems with malicious intent, often for personal gain. They are commonly
known as black hat hackers.
751. Solution: Statement III is not completely true courses and certificates provided through
SWAYAM are available free of cost to the learners. However, there are a few exceptions. For
example, some courses may require a small fee to cover the cost of materials or assessments.
Additionally, some certificates may require a fee to be issued.
Other statements related to SWAYAM are true.
752. Solution: A qubit is a unit of computing information that is represented by a state of an atom
or elementary particle (such as the spin) and can store multiple values at once due to the
principles of quantum mechanics. A qubit is the basic unit of information in quantum
computing, which is a field of computer science that uses quantum phenomena to perform
operations on data.
753. Solution: One byte is equal to eight bits, which are the smallest units of information in binary
systems.
One kilobyte (KB) is equal to 2^10 bytes, or 1024 bytes.
One megabyte (MB) is equal to 2^20 bytes, or 1024 KB.
One gigabyte (GB) is equal to 2^30 bytes, or 1024 MB.
One terabyte (TB) is equal to 2^40 bytes, or 1024 GB.
Using these facts, we can convert 2048 TB to bits as follows:
2048 TB = 2048 x 2^40 bytes = 2048 x 2^40 x 8 bits = 2^11 x 2^40 x 2^3 bits = 2^54 bits
Therefore, the correct answer from the options given below is 3. 2^54.
754. Solution: Web 2.0 is a term used to describe the second generation of the World Wide Web. It
is characterized by user-generated content, social media, and interactivity. Web 2.0 sites allow
users to create and share content, collaborate with others, and participate in online
communities.
755. Solution: Statement -I: Video cards and sound cards are NOT examples of computer software.
They are hardware components that are responsible for processing and generating video and
audio signals.
Statement -II: Examples of software utilities do include anti-virus software, anti-spyware software,
and screen savers. Software utilities are programs designed to perform specific tasks or provide
additional functionalities to the computer system.
756. Solution: Statement A: Hypertext links in the WWW are designed to be unidirectional, which
means that the destination of a link may be moved or deleted without the source being notified,
resulting in broken links. This is because hypertext links are simply pointers to other
documents, and they do not contain any information about the location of the destination
document. If the destination document is moved or deleted, the link will still point to the old
location, resulting in a broken link.
Statement B: The Google search engine algorithm is secret, so the general public does not know how
the results of a search are being ranked when presented to a user. Google has never revealed the
exact details of its search algorithm, but it is known to use a variety of factors to rank search results,
including the number of times a page has been linked to, the quality of the links, and the content of
the page.
Statement C: Web search engines collect personal data and use it to target users with customized
advertising. This data can include things like the user's search history, the websites they visit, and

of Roshal's surname and the word "archive".
759. Solution:
760. Solution: Both statements are true.

Statement I: 240 in decimal can be represented as 11110000 in binary. This is because 240 is the sum
of the powers of 2 that have a 1 in the binary representation of 11110000. For example, 240 = 128 +
64 + 32 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.
Statement II: 101011111101010 in binary can be represented as 57EA in hexadecimal. This is
because the hexadecimal digits 5, 7, and EA correspond to the binary digits 101, 111, and 1101010,
respectively.
761. Solution: Both RAR and ZIP file formats are commonly used as file compression and archiving
formats that can store multiple files of different types within a single archive file.

understand pencil or pen marks on a piece of paper. OMR is often used to grade multiple-choice
tests or to collect data from surveys.
D. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It is a technology that uses radio waves to identify
objects. RFID tags are small electronic devices that contain a microchip and an antenna. When the
tag is within range of an RFID reader, the reader can read the information on the tag. RFID is often
used to track inventory or to control access to a building.
763. Solution: cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computing resources as services
over the internet. Cloud computing eliminates the need for enterprises to procure, configure, or
manage resources themselves, and they only pay for what they use. Cloud computing offers
several benefits, such as cost savings, speed, scalability, performance, reliability, and security

made over the internet, not "phone cells." It allows voice communication using internet networks
rather than traditional telephone lines.
765. Solution:
B. This connection allows a wireless connection. Broadband connections can be used to establish
wireless connections, allowing devices to connect to the internet without the need for physical
cables.
C. You are always connected to the internet. Unlike dial-up connections, broadband connections
provide an "always-on" connection, meaning you don't need to dial in or establish a connection each
time you want to access the internet. The connection remains active and available for use at any
time.
766. Solution: Statement A is true because email and instant messenger are two common ways for
network users to communicate with each other.
Statement B is true because networked computers can share files using a variety of methods, such as
file sharing protocols, cloud storage, and network drives.
Statement C is false because viruses can be spread to other computers throughout a computer
network. This is because viruses are often attached to files that are shared over a network.
Statement D is true because it is possible for many users to access and share one printer on a
network. This is done by connecting the printer to the network and then configuring the printer to
share its resources.
767. Solution: Creating shortcuts allows you to create a link to a file or folder on your desktop. This
makes it easy to access the file or folder without having to navigate to its location in the file
system.
Renaming folders allows you to change the name of a folder on your desktop. This can be useful if
you want to organize your files and folders in a way that makes sense to you.
Adjusting icon size allows you to change the size of the icons on your desktop. This can be useful if
you want to make it easier to see the icons or if you want to save space on your desktop.
768. Solution: The benefit of compressing videos is that it reduces the storage space required on
the web server. This is because compression removes redundant data from the videos, which
makes them smaller in size.
769. Solution: he correct chronological order of the computers released, from earliest to most

redirects the user to a fake website without their consent or knowledge.
782. Solution: The main difference between asynchronous and synchronous communication is the
time at which the communication takes place.
Asynchronous communication is communication that does not occur at the same time. This means
that the sender and receiver of the message do not need to be online at the same time. Examples of
asynchronous communication include email, forums, and social media.
Synchronous communication is communication that occurs at the same time. This means that the
sender and receiver of the message need to be online at the same time. Examples of synchronous
communication include instant messaging, video conferencing, and phone calls.

tool for sharing and collaborating on information, and they are often used in the workplace, in
education, and in open source software development.
789. Solution: Statement I: EEPROM stands for Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory, not "Electronically Extendable Programmable Read Only Memory." EEPROM is a type
of non-volatile memory that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.
Statement II: RAM (Random Access Memory) is indeed faster to read from and write to compared to
other types of memory. However, its main drawback is not non-volatility. RAM is volatile memory,
meaning it loses its data when the power is turned off or interrupted. The main drawback of RAM is
its limited capacity and the fact that it requires constant power to retain data.
790. Solution: The correct answer is 2. B and C only.

sender's email address can be changed to make it appear as if the email is from someone else. Email
address spoofing is often used for hacking, phishing, and other malicious activities.
Statement A is incorrect because email address spoofing is not the same as copying an email to other
staff.
Statement B is correct because email address spoofing is used for hacking. Hackers can use email
address spoofing to trick people into clicking on malicious links or opening infected attachments.
Statement C is correct because email address spoofing is the forgery of an email header or sender
information. This means that the sender's email address can be changed to make it appear as if the
email is from someone else.
Statement D is incorrect because email address spoofing is not the same as sending a joke email to
other staff.
791. Solution: Statement I: Wi-Fi, a wireless network protocol, is not an acronym for "Wireless
Firewire." Wi-Fi stands for "Wireless Fidelity" and is a technology that allows devices to
connect to a wireless network and access the internet.
Statement II: The decimal number (21.125)_10 can indeed be represented as the binary number
(10101.001)_2. In binary representation, the whole number part is converted to binary digits, and the

Statement C is true. Micro-blogging is a practice of posting small pieces of content on the internet,
such as Twitter. These pieces of content are typically limited to 280 characters or less.
794. Solution: Asynchronous communication refers to a method of communication where the

participants do not need to be online or available at the same time. They can send messages or
engage in communication at their own convenience.
Forums, email, and instant messaging are examples of digital communication technologies that use
asynchronous communication. In forums, users can post messages and engage in discussions that
can be viewed and responded to by others at any time. Email allows users to send and receive
messages that can be read and replied to later. Instant messaging platforms also allow users to send
and receive messages in real-time, but the messages can be viewed and responded to at any time,
unlike synchronous communication methods like video conferencing where participants need to be
online simultaneously for real-time interaction.
795. Solution: Statement I: Converting (43.25)_10 to binary:

Integer part: Divide 43 by 2 repeatedly and note the remainders: 43/2 = 21 remainder 1, 21/2 = 10
remainder 1, 10/2 = 5 remainder 0, 5/2 = 2 remainder 1, 2/2 = 1 remainder 0, 1/2 = 0 remainder 1.
Reading the remainders in reverse order gives us the binary representation of the integer part:
101011.
Fractional part: Multiply the fractional part 0.25 by 2 repeatedly and note the integer parts: 0.25 * 2
= 0.5, 0.5 * 2 = 1. Reading the integer parts gives us the binary representation of the fractional part:
0.01.
Combining the integer and fractional parts gives us the binary representation of (43.25)_10 as
101011.01.
Statement II: Converting (1110.111)_2 to decimal:
Integer part: Read the integer part 1110 in binary as it is.
Fractional part: Convert the fractional part 0.111 to decimal by multiplying each digit by the
corresponding power of 2: 1 * (1/2^1) + 1 * (1/2^2) + 1 * (1/2^3) = 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 = 0.875.
Combining the integer and fractional parts gives us the decimal representation of (1110.111)_2 as
14.625.
Therefore, the conversions of the numbers are:
Statement I: (43.25)_10 = (101011.01)_2
Statement II: (1110.111)_2 = (14.625)_10

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a type of DVD that uses a single spiral track to store data. It uses
dual layer technology, which allows for twice the data storage capacity of a regular DVD.
799. Solution:
Statement I: Sending an email will not cause a problem if the recipient is in another time zone
where the time difference is 12 hours.
The time at which an email is received depends on the recipient's email server, not on the time zone
of the sender. If the recipient's email server is set to deliver emails at the same time that they are
sent, then the recipient will receive the email at the same time regardless of the time difference
between the sender's and recipient's time zones.
Statement II: In an Email system, Bcc: stands for Blind Carbon Copy.
Bcc: is a field in an email message that allows you to send a copy of the message to other recipients
without their names or email addresses being visible to the main recipients. This is useful if you
want to send a message to a group of people without them knowing who else has received the
message.
800. Solution: Statement I: The statement is incorrect. A Trojan Horse is a type of malware that
disguises itself as a legitimate program but actually contains malicious code. Its main purpose
is to gain unauthorized access to a computer system or to damage or steal data, not specifically
to restrict access until a payment is made. Ransomware, on the other hand, is a type of malware
that encrypts the victim's data and demands a ransom for its release.
Statement II: The statement is correct. Google's G-Suite and GitHub are examples of Software as a
Service (SaaS) in cloud computing. SaaS refers to the delivery of software applications over the
internet, allowing users to access and use the software without the need for installation or
maintenance on their own devices.

calls over the internet. VoIP is a real-time communication system, which means that the people
who are talking can hear each other at the same time. This makes VoIP ideal for meetings, as it
allows people to collaborate and discuss things in real time.
810. Solution: Statement I: Wireless (Wi-Fi) networks are less secure than hard-wired systems.
This statement is generally true. Wireless networks are more susceptible to security breaches
compared to hard-wired systems. This is because wireless signals can be intercepted by unauthorized
users if not properly secured, whereas hard-wired systems have physical connections that are less
vulnerable to unauthorized access.
Statement II: A series of digital media files that are released at regular intervals and downloaded to
the user's computer are known as Podcasts. These media files are stored and maintained centrally.
This statement is also true. Podcasts are indeed a series of digital media files released at regular
intervals, typically in an audio format, that users can download and listen to.

815. Solution: Certainly! The correct formula is

`=IF(AND(C2>=B2, C3>=B3), "Yes", IF(C4>=B4, "Yes", "No"))`
This formula checks if both the homework and midterm conditions are met. If they are, it returns
"Yes." If not, it checks the final exam condition. If the final exam condition is met, it returns "Yes";
otherwise, it returns "No."
Options A doesn't consider the homework and midterm conditions together, Therefore, the correct
answer is 3. B and C only.
816. Solution: The correct answer is 1. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Statement I is correct. Solid State Drives (SSDs) are considerably faster than Hard Disk Drives
(HDDs) when it comes to data access. This is because SSDs use flash memory to store data, which is
much faster than the spinning discs used in HDDs. SSDs can read and write data much faster than
HDDs, and they also have lower latency, which means that there is less of a delay between when a
request is made to read or write data and when the data is actually accessed.
Statement II is also correct. RAM (Random Access Memory) is much faster to write to or read from
in comparison to secondary memory such as hard disks. This is because RAM is a type of volatile
memory, which means that it loses its contents when power is lost. As a result, RAM is typically
used to store data that needs to be accessed quickly, such as the operating system and currently
running applications. Secondary memory, such as hard disks, is non-volatile, which means that it
retains its contents even when power is lost. As a result, secondary memory is typically used to store
data that does not need to be accessed as quickly, such as user files and applications.
817. Solution: The correct answer is 2. Shareware.

Shareware is a type of software that is distributed for free, but with the expectation that users will
eventually pay for it if they find it useful. Shareware is typically subject to the usual copyright laws,
and users are not allowed to distribute or copy it without permission from the copyright holder. As a
rule, not all the features found in the full version are available in the shareware version.
818. Solution: The processing power of the server computer is less critical for the downloading
speed, as it primarily involves the server's ability to process requests and generate responses.
Factors such as the bandwidth of the Internet connection (option 4) and the number and size of
images on the web page (option 2) typically have a more direct impact on the downloading
speed. The number of hyperlinks (option 1) can affect navigation within the page but may not
significantly impact the initial downloading speed.
819. Solution: =$B$1 * B4

This formula will calculate the gross pay for each employee in column C based on the hours worked
(column B) and the fixed hourly rate (cell B1). You can then copy this formula down the column for
other employees. The use of absolute reference ($B$1) ensures that the hourly rate remains constant
for all calculations.

Statement I is correct. Simple text editors such as Notepad and Emacs are designed for basic text
editing tasks, such as creating, opening, editing, and saving plain text files. They have limited
editing features compared to word processors, which offer a wide range of formatting options, spell
checking, and other advanced features.
Statement II is false. Files created with simple text editors can be opened with word processors.
Plain text files are universally compatible, and any program that can handle text files can open them.
Word processors are specifically designed to open and display plain text files, so they will have no
problem opening files created with simple text editors.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
821. Solution:
822. Solution: The correct answer is 4. A, C & E only.

The central processing unit (CPU) is the heart of a computer system and is responsible for executing
instructions. The Von Neumann model is a classic architecture for a computer system that consists of
four main components:
● Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): The ALU performs arithmetic and logical operations.
Control Unit (CU): The CU controls the flow of information within the CPU and coordinates the
actions of the other components.
● Memory Address Register (MAR): The MAR stores the address of the memory location that the
CPU is currently accessing.
● Memory Unit: The Memory Unit stores the program instructions and data that the CPU needs to
access.
The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and Solid State Drive (SSD) are both types of storage devices that are
used to store data, but they are not part of the CPU.
Therefore, the only components that are part of the CPU of the Von Neumann model are the ALU,
CU, and MAR.
823. Solution: The correct answer is 1. Cache Memory.

Cache memory is a small, high-speed memory that stores frequently accessed data. This allows the
processor to access data quickly without having to retrieve it from the slower main memory or hard
disk. As a result, the processor will operate fastest when the data it wants is in the cache memory.
824. Solution:
825. Solution: The correct answer is 1. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Statement I is correct. Shareware is a type of software that users can try out for a free trial period
before having to pay for it. If users find the software useful after the trial period, they are expected
to pay for it.
Statement II is also correct. Freeware is a type of software that users can download and use free of
charge. However, freeware is typically closed-source software, which means that users cannot
modify the source code. This is in contrast to open-source software, which allows users to modify
and distribute the source code.
Therefore, both statements are true, and the correct answer is option 1.
826. Solution: The correct answer is 4. A, B, D & E only.

Statement A: LED displays are indeed flat panel displays. They consist of a panel of light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) that are arranged in a grid pattern. Each LED can emit light of a specific color, and
by varying the brightness of each LED, the display can create a wide range of colors and images.
Statement B: LED displays create images using red, green, and blue diodes. These three colors are
the primary colors of light, and by combining them in different proportions, any color can be
created.

Statement C: LED displays are actually very energy efficient. They use much less energy than
traditional cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays, and they also produce less heat.
Statement D: LED displays are widely used in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
They are thin, lightweight, and energy-efficient, making them ideal for portable devices.
Statement E: LED displays can be both front-lit and back-lit. Front-lit displays have the LEDs
embedded in the front of the panel, while back-lit displays have the LEDs embedded in the back of
the panel and a diffuser layer in front of them.
Therefore, all statements are true, and the correct answer is option 4.
827. Solution:
828. Solution: The correct answer is 2. Faster connection with suppliers.

The Internet has revolutionized the way businesses communicate with their suppliers. In the past,
businesses would have to rely on phone calls, faxes, and mail to communicate with their suppliers.
This was a slow and inefficient process that often resulted in delays and misunderstandings.
With the Internet, businesses can now communicate with their suppliers in real time. This allows
them to place orders, track shipments, and resolve problems much faster than ever before. As a
result, businesses can improve their efficiency and reduce their costs.

before having to pay for it. After the trial period expires, users will typically be prompted to
purchase the software if they want to continue using it.
Statement II is false. Shareware code is typically copyrighted, and users are not allowed to modify
or redistribute it without the permission of the copyright holder. Some shareware licenses may allow
users to make minor modifications for personal use, but they will still be required to obtain
permission before redistributing the code.
Therefore, Statement I is true but Statement II is false, and the correct answer is option 3.
832. Solution: The correct answer is 2. C and D Only.

Chat rooms, cookies, and VOIP (Voice over IP) are not always security risks to computer systems.
However, pharming and viruses are always security risks.
● Pharming is a type of cyberattack that redirects users to a fake website that looks like the legitimate
website they are trying to visit. Once the user enters their personal information on the fake website,
the attacker can steal it.
● Viruses are malicious programs that can infect and damage computer systems. They can spread
through a variety of ways, such as email attachments, infected websites, and USB drives.
Therefore, the only options that should always be regarded as security risks to computer systems are

836. Solution: The correct answer is 1. A and B only.

A. It uses a rotating drum to transfer the image to the paper. This statement is correct. Laser
printers use a rotating drum that is coated with a photoconductive material. A laser beam is used to
create an electrostatic image on the drum, and then powdered toner is applied to the drum. The toner
sticks to the areas of the drum that have been charged by the laser beam, and then the toner is
transferred to the paper.
B. It uses powdered toner. This statement is also correct. Laser printers use powdered toner, which is
a fine powder that is made up of small particles of plastic and pigment. The toner particles are
attracted to the areas of the drum that have been charged by the laser beam, and then the toner is
transferred to the paper.
C. It uses nozzles to spray droplets onto the paper. This statement is incorrect. This is a
characteristic of inkjet printers, not laser printers. Inkjet printers use nozzles to spray tiny droplets
of ink onto the paper to create the image.
D. It uses a print head mechanism that moves side to side. This statement is also incorrect. This is a
characteristic of inkjet printers, not laser printers. Inkjet printers use a print head that moves side to
side to spray the ink onto the paper.
Therefore, the only statements that apply to a laser printer are A and B, and the correct answer is
option 1.
837. Solution: The correct answer is 3. A and B only.

● A. RAM can be read from and written to. This statement is correct. RAM is a type of memory that
can be read from and written to by the CPU. This means that the CPU can access and modify the
data stored in RAM.
● B. RAM is volatile memory. This statement is also correct. RAM is volatile memory, which means
that the data stored in RAM is lost when the computer is turned off. This is because RAM is
powered by electricity, and when the power is turned off, the electrical charge that stores the data is
lost.
● C. RAM is temporary storage. This statement is incorrect. RAM is not temporary storage in the
sense that it is only used for a short period of time. RAM is used to store the data that the CPU is
currently working on, and this data can be stored in RAM for a long period of time.
● D. Modem PCs typically have from 2TB upto 32 TB of RAM. This statement is incorrect. The
typical amount of RAM in a modern PC is 8GB to 32GB. 2TB and 32TB are amounts of storage, not
RAM.

Therefore, the only statements that are correct about the characteristics of RAM are A and B, and the
838. Solution: The correct answer is 4. Ubiquitous computing.

Ubiquitous computing, also known as pervasive computing, is a concept that describes the seamless
integration of computing technology into everyday objects and environments. This type of
computing is often characterized by its invisibility, meaning that it is embedded within the
surroundings and does not require explicit user interaction.
A smart home application that automates the controlling of lighting, temperature, entertainment
system, and appliances is an example of ubiquitous computing because it integrates technology into
the home environment to provide a seamless and automated user experience. The application can be
controlled remotely or through voice commands, and it can learn user preferences to personalize the
home environment.
The other options are not as relevant to the concept of smart home applications. Evolutionary
computing is a type of artificial intelligence that is inspired by the process of natural selection.
Nature-inspired computing is a broader term that encompasses a variety of computational techniques
that are inspired by natural systems. Bio-inspired computing is a more specific term that refers to
computational techniques that are inspired by biological systems, such as the human brain or the
immune system.
839. Solution: The correct order is 2. D. E, B, C, A.

Here is the paragraph with the terms in the correct order:
A computer keyboard has a key matrix underneath the keys. When a key is pressed, it presses a
switch that completes a circuit. This allows current to flow. The location of the key pressed is
calculated. The location of the key pressed is compared to a character map to find the character
value for the key that has been pressed.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the way that a keyboard works. For
example, option 1 is incorrect because the location of the key pressed is not calculated before the
current flows. Option 3 is incorrect because the character value for the key is not found before the
location of the key pressed is calculated. Option 4 is incorrect because the binary value for the key is
not found before the character value for the key is found.
840. Solution:
Statement 1: It is false, World wide web and Internet are not the same things but are related to each
other. The world wide web is one set of software services running on the internet. The Internet itself
is a global interconnected network of various computing devices.
Statement 2: The correct answer is HTTP. The protocol used between a web server and a web
browser to transfer HTML pages is called HTTP. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an
application layer protocol in the Internet protocol suite model for distributed, collaborative,
hypermedia information systems.
841. Solution:
A. It has no moving parts: This statement is false. Hard-disk drives (HDDs) have several moving parts,
including a spinning platter and a read/write head that moves back and forth across the platter. The
movement of these parts is what allows the HDD to store and retrieve data.
B. It is non-volatile: This statement is true. Hard-disk drives are non-volatile, meaning that the data
they store is retained even when the power is turned off. This is because the data is stored on
magnetic platters, and the magnetic properties of the platters are not affected by the power being
turned off.
C. It uses magnetic properties to store data: This statement is true. Hard-disk drives use magnetic
properties to store data on platters coated with magnetic material. The read/write head can
IFAS Publications

DRAM Stands for Dynamic random access memory , DRAM is a type of semiconductor memory
that is typically used for the data or program code needed by a computer processor to function.
DRAM is a common type of random access memory (RAM) that is used in personal computers
(PCs), workstations and servers. Random access allows the PC processor to access any part of the
memory directly rather than having to proceed sequentially from a starting place. RAM is located
close to a computer's processor and enables faster access to data than storage media such as hard
disk drives and solid-state drives.
MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. MICR is a technology that was invented to
identify the authenticity and individuality of a document using special ink and characters. The MICR
is a convenient and human-friendly pattern recognition system. MICR readers can directly scan and
read the information into a data collection device. Hence, the use of MICR technology ensured a
more well-organized way of document processing.
VLSI Stands for Very Large-Scale Integration.
● (VLSI) is the process of making an integrated circuit ( IC ) by combining many MOS transistors
onto one chip.
● VLSI began within the 1970s when MOS integrated circuit chips were widely adopted, enabling
complex semiconductor and telecommunication technologies to be developed.
● The microprocessor and memory chips are VLSI devices. Before the introduction of VLSI
technology, most ICs had a limited set of functions they might perform.
● An electronic circuit might contain a CPU, ROM , RAM and other glue logic. VLSI lets IC
designers add all of those into one chip.
844. Solution: The correct answer is 4. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
Statement I: The tool which is used to insert decorative text in a document is called Clipart.
This statement is false. Clipart is a collection of pre-made images that can be inserted into a
document. Decorative text, on the other hand, is text that has been formatted to look different from
the surrounding text. This can be done using a variety of formatting tools, such as changing the font,
size, or color of the text.
Statement II: The purpose of using Keyboard shortcut CTRL+X followed by CTRL+V for a
selected text paragraph in a document is to Cut and Paste.
This statement is true. The shortcut CTRL+X cuts the selected text, and the shortcut CTRL+V
pastes the cut text. This is a common way to move text from one place to another in a document.
Therefore, Statement I is false but Statement II is true, and the correct answer is option 4.

software that is installed on a computer without the user's knowledge or consent. Spyware can track
the user's online activity, steal personal information, and install other malicious software. Spyware
does not typically prevent access to a website, but it can be used to redirect the user to a malicious
website.
● Statement B: Virus is self-replicating malicious code on a computer: This statement is true. A
virus is a type of malicious software that can replicate itself and spread to other computers. Viruses
can cause a variety of damage, including deleting files, corrupting data, and stealing personal
information.
● Statement C: Denial-of-service (DoS) captures all data entered using a keyboard to obtain
personal data: This statement is false. A denial-of-service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a
computer or network resource unavailable to legitimate users. DoS attacks are typically carried out
by flooding a computer or network with traffic, making it unable to respond to legitimate requests.
DoS attacks are not typically used to capture personal data.
Therefore, the only statement that is correct about cyber attacks is Statement B, and the correct
answer is option 2.

860. Solution:
Statements1- Incorrect - A wiki is a collaborative website that allows users to create, edit, and
organize content collaboratively. Wikipedia, one of the most well-known wikis, does not typically
present information in a strictly chronological order. Instead, it follows an encyclopedic structure
with articles organized by topics, and the content within an article is generally structured for clarity
and relevance.
Statements2- Yes, that's correct. Mobile phones (cell phones) typically use flash memory for
storage. Flash memory is a type of non-volatile storage that retains data even when power is turned
off. It is well-suited for mobile devices because it is compact, durable, and has no moving parts.
861. Solution:
B. One of the primary functions of ROM is to store the firmware or the BIOS (Basic Input/Output
System) of a computer. When you turn on the computer, the BIOS is responsible for the initial
startup processes, including the hardware initialization and loading the operating system. This
process is known as booting up, and it involves the use of ROM.
C. Unlike RAM (Random Access Memory), which is volatile and loses its contents when power is
turned off, ROM is non-volatile. The contents of ROM are retained even when the power is turned
off. This characteristic makes ROM suitable for storing essential system instructions and firmware
that are needed every time the computer is powered on.

The correct matching of types of malwares with their descriptions is as follows:
List-I List-II
(A). Trojan (II). A non-self-replicating program
Horse containing malicious code that,
when executed, carries out
actions, typically causing loss
of data.
(B). Worm (1). A program that replicates itself
in order to spread to other
computers and uses a computer
network to spread itself.
(C). Spyware (IV). A program that aids in
gathering information about a
person or organization without
their knowledge. For example,
it detects key presses of the
computer user.
(D). (III). A type of malware that
Ransomw restricts access to the computer
are system that it infects, often
demands a fee.
A Trojan Horse is a type of malware that is disguised as legitimate software or files to trick users
into downloading and installing it on their computer. Unlike viruses or worms, Trojan Horses do not
replicate themselves. Instead, they rely on social engineering to convince users to execute them.
Once activated, a Trojan Horse can perform various malicious actions without the user's knowledge,
such as stealing sensitive information, providing unauthorized access to the system, or causing other
forms of damage.
A worm is a type of malware that is capable of self-replication and spreading across computer
networks without requiring any user intervention. Unlike viruses, worms do not need to attach
themselves to other programs or files to propagate. Instead, they exploit vulnerabilities in network
protocols or operating systems to spread from one computer to another.
Spyware is a type of malicious software designed to secretly observe and collect information about a
user's activities on a computer or device without their knowledge or consent. The collected data is
often sent to third parties for various purposes, such as advertising, identity theft, or espionage.
Spyware can be installed on a system through deceptive practices, often bundled with seemingly
legitimate software or disguised as a useful utility.
Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts a user's files or locks them out of their
system, and then demands a ransom (usually in cryptocurrency) in exchange for restoring access or
providing a decryption key. It is a form of extortion and a significant cybersecurity threat.

879. Solution:
The correct answer is:
Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
Statement (I) is true. The formula = COUNTIFS(B2:B101, "Adult") counts all customers who are
adults by specifying the condition in the Customer Category column (B).
Statement (II) is false. The formula = COUNTIFS(B2:101, "Adult") is not a valid formula for
counting customers who are adults. The correct range should be specified for the criteria range, and
in this case, it's only the Customer Category column (B).
880. Solution: The correct matching of Graphical User Interface (GUI) terms with their descriptions is as
follows:
List - I List - II
(A) Window (IV) Represents an area on the screen
that displays information for a
specific program
(B) Icon (I) Represents a folder or a program -
can be seen within a window or
free-standing on the screen
(C) Menu (II) Contains lists of options for a
certain program
(D) Pointer (III) Used to select menu
options/icons/close/open windows
A "Window" in the context of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) refers to a visual area on the screen
that displays the graphical user interface of a program or system. Windows are used to separate
different tasks or programs, allowing users to interact with multiple applications simultaneously.
Each window typically has its own set of controls, such as minimize, maximize, and close buttons,
and can be resized and moved around the screen.
An "Icon" in the context of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) refers to a small graphical
representation or symbol that represents a file, folder, program, or function on a computer system.
Icons are used to provide a visual and intuitive way for users to interact with and identify different
elements of the operating system and applications.
In the context of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), a "Menu" is a graphical representation of a list of
options or commands that a user can choose from. Menus provide a way for users to interact with
software applications by selecting various actions or settings.
In the context of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), a "Pointer" refers to a graphical symbol, often an
arrow, that is controlled by a physical input device such as a mouse or touchpad. The pointer is used
to interact with elements on the screen, making it a fundamental part of the user interface.
881. Solution:
(A) BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is not an example of application software. It is a type of
firmware that is essential for the initial hardware bootstrapping of a computer system.
(B) Utility software is not an example of firmware. Utility software is a type of system software that
performs specific tasks to aid in the management and optimization of computer resources.

(C) Spyware is indeed an example of malware. Spyware is malicious software designed to gather
information about a person or organization without their knowledge, often for the purpose of
unauthorized access or information theft.
Therefore, the correct answer is (C) Spyware is an example of malware.
882. Solution:
The correct statement(s) are A and B.
(A) Guided media, which includes cables like copper wires and optical fibers, typically supports higher
data speeds than unguided media, which includes wireless communication methods. This is because
guided media offers a more controlled environment, less susceptibility to interference, and the
ability to use more advanced modulation and encoding techniques.
(B) Guided media is often less susceptible to interference compared to unguided media. Unguided
media, such as wireless communication, can be affected by environmental factors, interference from
other devices, and obstacles in the transmission path.
(C) Unguided media transmission is not inherently more secure than guided media transmission. Both
guided and unguided media can have security measures implemented to protect data during
transmission.
883. Solution:
The correct expansions for the given acronyms are as follows:
LED - Light Emitting Diode
CRT - Cathode Ray Tube
LCD - Liquid Crystal Display
VDU - Video Display Unit
884. Solution:
Option B is Correct.
Building positive customer relations in a business context is typically achieved through ethical and
targeted approaches. While calling customers at home, placing pop-up advertisements on websites,
and sending unsolicited emails (spam) may be intrusive and often result in negative customer
experiences, creating targeted marketing campaigns allows businesses to tailor their messages and
promotions to specific customer segments. This approach is more likely to be well-received by
customers, as it demonstrates an understanding of their needs and preferences.
885. Solution:
Statement (I) is true, and Statement (II) is false.
Statement (I): IPv6 addresses are indeed larger than IPv4 addresses. IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long,
while IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long. Therefore, an IPv6 address is 4 times larger than an IPv4
address in terms of the number of bits.
Statement (II): The IP address identifies the location of a device on the Internet, but the MAC
(Media Access Control) address identifies a device on a local network. The MAC address is used at
the data link layer of the OSI model and is not typically used for addressing devices on the Internet.
886. Solution:
The correct option is:
(3) Faster, more expensive per unit of storage, and not persistent
Primary storage (or main memory) is faster than secondary storage (like hard drives or SSDs).
However, it is more expensive per unit of storage compared to secondary storage.
Primary storage is volatile, meaning it loses its contents when the power is turned off. This lack of
persistence contrasts with secondary storage, which is non-volatile and retains data even when the
power is off.

887. Solution:
To calculate the storage needed for 2 hours of video footage, we can use the following steps:
1. Determine the storage needed for 1 minute of video.
2. Multiply the storage needed for 1 minute by the number of minutes in 2 hours.
3. Convert the result to gigabytes.
Let's calculate:
Storage needed for 1 minute of video = 180 Megabytes.
Storage needed for 2 hours of video:
180 MB/minute×120 minutes=21,600 Megabytes.
Convert Megabytes to Gigabytes:
21,600 MB÷1024 MB/GB≈21.09375 GB
So, the correct answer is approximately 21.1 Gigabytes. Therefore, the correct option is (3) 21.1
Gigabytes.
888. Solution:
The quantity maxim in the context of the four maxims of conversation does not specifically relate to
paradigms. The quantity maxim is concerned with providing an appropriate amount of information
in a conversation to avoid both excess and insufficiency. Paradigms, on the other hand, refer to a set
of examples or patterns.
The quantity maxim in the four maxims of conversation pertains to the right amount of information.
Therefore, the correct answer is: (4) Information
889. Solution:
To add two numbers represented in base-8 (octal), you can perform the addition in a similar way as
you do in base-10, but considering the base-8 place values.
Let's add (144) ₈ and (175) ₈:
(1x8^2+4x8^1+4x8^0) + (1x8^2+7x8^1+5x8^0) = (321) ₈.
Now , converting (321) ₈. To Octal then getting (341) ₈.
So Option 4 is correct.
