Question 141. How many types of recipients are there in an e-mail system?
  1.    One
  2.    Three
  3.    Four
  4.    Two
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Three
Answer: (b)
Electronic mail, most commonly referred to as email, is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients.
Normally, there could be three types of recipients:
the target recipient;
a carbon copy (Cc) recipients; and
blind carbon copy (Bcc) recipients.
Question 142. What is clickjacking ?
  1.    A form of Computer Engineering
  2.    Malicious technique of tricking Web usear into revealing confidential information
  3.    A device that sends and receives data in a bit second
  4.    A digital process that is used to display an image on monitor
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Malicious technique of tricking Web usear into revealing confidential information
Answer: (b)
Clickjacking is a malicious technique of tricking a Web user into clicking on something different to what the user perceives they are clicking on, thus potentially revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous web pages. It is a browser security issue that is vulnerable across a variety of browsers and platforms.
A clickjacking takes the form of embedded code or a script that can execute without the user’s knowledge, such as clicking on a button that appears to perform another function. The term “clickjacking” was coined by Jeremiah Grossman and Robert Hansen in 2008.
Question 143. Who among the following developed World Wide Web (WWW), which gave a new type of information exhibition ?
  1.    Robert Morris Jr.
  2.    Bob Cohen
  3.    Tim Berners-Lee
  4.    Michel Derstuses
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Tim Berners-Lee
Answer: (c)
The World Wide Web (abbreviated as WWW or W3, commonly known as the Web), is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet.
Using concepts from his earlier hypertext systems like ENQUIRE, British engineer, computer scientist and at that time employee of CERN, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, now Director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), wrote a proposal in March 1989 for what would eventually become the World Wide Web.
Question 144. _____ is required to boot a computer.
  1.    Assembler
  2.    Loader
  3.    Operating system
  4.    Compiler
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Operating system
Answer: (c)
Booting is a startup sequence that starts the operating system of a computer when it is turned on.
To boot a computer is to load an operating system into the computer’s main memory or random access memory (RAM). Once the operating system is loaded, it is ready for users to run applications.
Question 145. The term GIGO is related to
  1.    Automatic
  2.    Flexibility
  3.    Versatility
  4.    Accuracy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Accuracy
Answer: (d)
Garbage in, garbage out (GIGO), in the context of information technology, is a slang expression that means regardless of how accurate a program’s logic is, the results will be incorrect if the input is invalid.
A program gives inaccurate results due to inaccurate data provided because a computer will always attempt to process data given to it. So GIGO is related to the accuracy of output which, in turn, is dependent on the accuracy of inputs.
Question 146. The device that converts digital signals to analog signals at the start of long distance transmissions is
  1.    telephone
  2.    peripheral
  3.    modem
  4.    antenna
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> modem
Answer: (c)A modem takes the digital signal from the computer and converts it to "analog". It does this by both creating an analog sine wave and then "MODulating" it. Since the result still represents digital data, it could also be called a digital signal instead of analog.
Question 147. Speed of processor chip is measured in
  1.    Bits/second
  2.    Mbps
  3.    MHz
  4.    Bytes/second
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> MHz
Answer: (c)Speed of processor chip is measured in megahertz (MHz) and gigahertz (GHz).
Question 148. Synonym of Internet is
  1.    Cyber Space
  2.    Gopher
  3.    Intranet
  4.    World Wide Web (WWW)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Cyber Space
Answer: (a)
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite. It is a network of networks linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies.
Cyberspace refers to the global network of interdependent information technology infrastructures, telecommunications networks and computer processing systems in which online communication takes place.
Question 149. Which of the following is used for very high speed searching applications ?
  1.    Dynamic Random Access Memory
  2.    Flash Memory
  3.    Content-addressable Memory
  4.    Static Random Access Memory
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Content-addressable Memory
Answer: (c)
Content-addressable memory (CAM) is a special type of computer memory used in certain very highspeed searching applications. It is also known as associative memory.
It compares input search data (tag) against a table of stored data and returns the address of matching data (or in the case of associative memory, the matching data).
Question 150. Find the “odd one out”.
  1.    C++
  2.    Linux
  3.    Windows 98
  4.    Windows 7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> C++
Answer: (a)
Linux, Windows 98 and Windows 7 are examples of operating systems, the system software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs.
C++ is a middle-level programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs.
