Question 161. A bug in a programme is a/an
  1.    Syntax
  2.    Statement
  3.    Error
  4.    (2)Both (3)and
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Error
Answer: (c)A bug in a program is an error.
Question 162. An Intelligent terminal
  1.    interacts with the user in English
  2.    has a microprocessor, but cannot be programmed by the user
  3.    can process small data processing jobs, with the use of a large CPU
  4.    cannot take data from the user
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> can process small data processing jobs, with the use of a large CPU
Answer: (c)
An Intelligent terminal is A terminal with built-in processing capability, but no local disk or tape storage.
It may use a general-purpose CPU or may have specialized circuitry as part of a distributed intelligence system. Intelligent terminals include memory and a processor to perform special display operations.
Question 163. To read a CD-ROM disc, you need a
  1.    sound card
  2.    laser beam
  3.    magnetic needle
  4.    graphics card
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> laser beam
Answer: (b)
Data is stored on the disc as a series of microscopic indentations. A laser is shone onto the reflective surface of the disc to read the pattern of pits and lands.
Because the depth of the pits is approximately one-quarter to one-sixth of the wavelength of the laser light used to read the disc, the reflected beam's phase is shifted in relation to the incoming beam, causing destructive interference and reducing the reflected beam's intensity. This pattern of changing the intensity of the reflected beam is converted into binary data.
Question 164. Rearranging and allocating space in memory to provide for multiple computing tasks is called
  1.    Multitasking
  2.    Networking
  3.    Multiprogramming
  4.    Memory Management
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Memory Management
Answer: (d)
Memory management provides ways to dynamically allocate portions of memory to programs at their request, and free it for reuse when no longer needed.
It enables the allocation of additional memory space or release of unwanted space at run time for optimizing the use of storage space. It provides flexibility in adding, deleting or rearranging data items at run time.
Question 165. Correct expansion of the term ‘http’ in Internet address is
  1.    hybrid text transfer protocol
  2.    higher text transfer protocol
  3.    higher transfer text protocol
  4.    hypertext transfer protocol
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> hypertext transfer protocol
Answer: (d)The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer hypertext.
Question 166. The secondmost used language on the world wide web is
  1.    Chinese
  2.    German
  3.    Franch
  4.    English
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Chinese
Answer: (a)According to the Internet World Stats, the top languages in the internet as on June 30, 2010 were English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese and Portuguese.
Question 167. Where is the proposed Microsoft Software Development Centre in India to come up?
  1.    Hyderabad
  2.    Bangalore
  3.    New Delhi
  4.    Pune
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Hyderabad
Answer: (a)Located in Hyderabad, the Microsoft India Development Center (MSIDC) is Microsoft’s largest software development center outside of their headquarters in Redmond, Washington. The MSIDC teams focus on strategic and IP sensitive software product development.
Question 168. Which circuit is used to store one bit of data ?
  1.    Vector
  2.    Register
  3.    Flip Flop
  4.    Encoder
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Flip Flop
Answer: (c)
In electronics, a flip-flop or latch is a circuit that has two stable states and can be used to store state information. A flip-flop store a single bit (binary digit) of data; one of its two states represents a “one” and the other represents a “zero”.
Such data storage can be used for storage of state, and such a circuit is described as sequential logic. When used in a finite-state machine, the output and next state depend not only on its current input but also on its current state.
Question 169. The most advanced form Of Read Only Memory (ROM) is
  1.    Cache Memory
  2.    PROM
  3.    RAM
  4.    EEPROM
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> EEPROM
Answer: (d)EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a special type of non-volatile memory used in computers to store small amounts of data that must be saved when power is removed, e.g., calibration tables or device configuration.
Question 170. Which of the following is not a role assigned to Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Parks ?
  1.    Technology development
  2.    Training
  3.    Testing and Calibration
  4.    Raising funds for entre-preneurs
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Raising funds for entre-preneurs
Answer: (d)
The Science and Technology Entrepreneurs’ Park (STEP) was established at IIT Kharagpur in Dec. 1986 with financial support from DST New Delhi, DST West Bengal, IDBI, IFCI, ICICI.
Approval was accorded by DST on Aug.14, 1987. the role of training, Testing and Calibration and Technology development has been assigned to it.
