100 MCQ · 1 mark each · Units 1–5
Q. 1. Information Technology is —
सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी है —
Information Technology is the use of computers, storage, software and telecommunication to create, process, store, secure and exchange electronic data. A computer is the central tool of IT, not the whole of IT. Hardware you can touch is only one part.
Q. 2. Which line is information rather than raw data?
कौन-सी पंक्ति information है, कच्चा data नहीं?
Data are raw, unorganised facts: 2145, 36, Bikaner. Information is data processed so that it is meaningful, timely and useful: “Anil Sharma, roll 2145, must score at least 36 marks out of 100.”
Q. 3. GIGO means —
GIGO का अर्थ है —
GIGO means garbage in, garbage out. A computer has no intelligence of its own: if a wrong roll number is typed, it will process that wrong roll at full speed. It cannot decide a new rule that was never programmed.
Q. 4. Sinha’s working definition of a computer names the jobs —
Sinha की कंप्यूटर परिभाषा जिन कामों को नाम करती है वे हैं —
A computer is an electronic device that accepts data as input, processes it according to a stored program, gives information as output, and keeps data and instructions in storage. Those jobs are input, process, output and storage.
Q. 5. Firmware on a PC is —
PC पर firmware है —
Firmware is a small program sitting in ROM, used when the machine starts. On a PC this start-up code is BIOS: it tests hardware and loads the operating system from disk. Hardware is the body you can touch; software is the set of ordinary programs.
Q. 6. Babbage’s Analytical Engine is —
Babbage का Analytical Engine है —
The five generations begin when the switch inside the machine becomes electronic. Before them sit only calculating aids — abacus, Pascal’s adder, Babbage’s Analytical Engine — ancestors, not the five generations.
Q. 7. The main switching device of the first generation is the —
पहली पीढ़ी का मुख्य स्विच है —
The first generation (about 1940–1956) uses the vacuum tube as its switch. Machines were huge, hot and hungry for power; the language was machine language (0 and 1). Named machines: ENIAC (1946) and UNIVAC I (1951).
Q. 8. The second generation takes its name from the —
दूसरी पीढ़ी का नाम आता है —
The second generation (about 1956–1963) uses the transistor as its switch. Transistors are smaller, cooler and more reliable than tubes. Memory is magnetic core. Languages rise to assembly and the first high-level languages: FORTRAN and COBOL. Batch processing is the common way of work.
Q. 9. The third generation is named by the —
तीसरी पीढ़ी का नाम है —
The third generation (about 1964–1971) uses the integrated circuit: many transistors on one silicon chip. Keyboards and monitors become ordinary. Operating systems appear; multiprogramming and time-sharing let more than one program share the CPU. IBM System/360 is a named mainframe of this generation.
Q. 10. The fourth generation takes its name from the —
चौथी पीढ़ी का नाम आता है —
The fourth generation takes its name from the microprocessor: a whole CPU on one chip (Intel 4004, 1971), built with LSI and then VLSI. The IBM PC, GUI and mouse sit here. A new model of the same microprocessor family is still fourth-generation hardware, not a new generation.
Q. 11. The fifth generation is best named by —
पाँचवीं पीढ़ी का सबसे सही नाम है —
The fifth generation is named by ULSI chips, parallel processing, huge memory, and an aim toward artificial intelligence and a more natural-language interface. It is not “the phone you bought last year.” A new phone model is still fourth-generation hardware in the switching sense.
Q. 12. A smartphone in a student’s bag is classed as a —
विद्यार्थी के बैग का स्मार्टफोन वर्ग है —
A microcomputer is built around a single microprocessor and is meant, classically, for one person at a time. The lab desktop, a laptop, a tablet and a smartphone are all microcomputers. Mini is the next rung: midrange, multi-user, department-level — not a synonym for small, and not a phone.
Q. 13. A minicomputer is —
Minicomputer है —
A minicomputer is a midrange, multi-user machine: tens or a few hundreds of users, more storage and I/O than a PC, less than a mainframe. The word mini is relative to mainframe, not to a phone. Mini means medium size, multi-user, department-level.
Q. 14. A bank or railway reservation system that runs many terminals all day is typically a —
बैंक या रेल आरक्षण जो दिन भर कई टर्मिनल चलाए प्रायः है —
A mainframe is a large, very reliable system for an organisation that must run many jobs and many terminals at once: a bank, the railways, a census, an examination board. I/O capacity is huge because the work is lakhs of records, not one student’s file. It is not “a very big PC.”
Q. 15. India’s PARAM series from C-DAC is an example of a —
भारत की PARAM श्रृंखला (C-DAC) उदाहरण है —
A supercomputer is the fastest class, built for scientific and engineering jobs. The measure is FLOPS (floating-point operations per second). Architecture is massively parallel. India’s PARAM series from C-DAC is the Indian example; Cray is an older international name. A mainframe processes huge numbers of business records; a supercomputer runs a few enormous scientific calculations at the highest speed.
Q. 16. The stored-program (von Neumann) model names five functional units —
संचित-प्रोग्राम (von Neumann) मॉडल पाँच कार्यात्मक इकाइयाँ नाम करता है —
The stored-program (von Neumann) model has five functional units: input, output, memory, ALU, and control unit. Instructions and data live in the same memory. The CPU fetches an instruction, decodes it, executes it, then fetches the next — the fetch–decode–execute cycle.
Q. 17. The ALU inside the CPU —
CPU के अंदर ALU —
The CPU is ALU + control unit + registers. The ALU does arithmetic and logic. The control unit fetches, decodes and times; it does not itself add numbers. The CPU is the processor chip, not the metal cabinet that holds motherboard, RAM, disk and power.
Q. 18. The control unit —
नियंत्रण इकाई —
The control unit does not add numbers. It directs: it reads the instruction, decides which part of the ALU or memory must work, and times the steps with the system clock. Clock speed is given in GHz on a modern micro, or in MHz on older machines.
Q. 19. Which bus carries the actual bytes being moved (an instruction, a number, a character)?
कौन-सी बस वास्तविक बाइट्स ढोती है (निर्देश, संख्या, अक्षर)?
The address bus carries the location: which memory cell or which device. The data bus carries the actual bytes (an instruction, a number, a character). The control bus carries commands and status: read, write, interrupt, clock.
Q. 20. RAM is —
RAM है —
RAM is read-and-write, volatile working store: when power goes, the contents go, so an unsaved assignment vanishes. DRAM is cheap main memory and must refresh; SRAM is faster and dearer and is used in cache. A USB pen drive is secondary storage, not RAM.
Q. 21. EPROM is erased by —
EPROM मिटती है —
ROM is non-volatile. Kinds: Mask ROM (factory, cannot change), PROM (programmed once), EPROM (UV erase through a quartz window), EEPROM and flash (electrical erase). BIOS start-up code lives in ROM (firmware). A pen drive is secondary storage; the flash technology is shared.
Q. 22. Cache memory sits —
Cache स्मृति बैठती है —
Cache is a small, very fast SRAM store between the CPU and main RAM. It keeps copies of the bytes the CPU is using now. Levels: L1 smallest and fastest, on the chip; L2 larger; L3 larger still. Speed order: registers, then cache, then RAM, then secondary. Cache is not a substitute for RAM and not a disk.
Q. 23. Magnetic tape is a typical example of —
चुंबकीय टेप प्रायः उदाहरण है —
Magnetic tape is sequential access: to reach file 500 you read 1–499 first. It is cheap for bulk backup of a mainframe or a college server, not for the file you open every minute in the lab. Disk, flash and SSD are direct access: the head can go to a location without reading everything before it.
Q. 24. OMR, OCR and MICR differ because —
OMR, OCR और MICR अलग हैं क्योंकि —
OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) reads marks on a printed sheet — you darken A, B, C or D. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) turns printed letters into editable text. MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) reads the special magnetic-ink digits at the bottom of a bank cheque. All three are input devices, not printers.
Q. 25. A mouse is a pointing device; a keyboard is —
माउस संकेतक यंत्र है; कीबोर्ड है —
A pointing device controls a pointer on the screen: mouse, trackball, touchpad, joystick, light pen, digitizing tablet, touch screen. A keyboard is input but not pointing: it types character codes; it does not move the pointer as its main job. The monitor shows the pointer; it does not point.
Q. 26. The base of the hexadecimal system is —
षोडश आधार (hexadecimal) का आधार है —
Hexadecimal (hex) has base 16. Digits are 0–9 and A–F, where A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15. Decimal has base 10 (0–9), binary base 2 (0 and 1), octal base 8 (0–7). Because 16 = 2⁴, four binary bits make one hex digit.
Q. 27. Binary uses only the digits —
Binary केवल ये अंक चलाता है —
Binary uses only the digits 0 and 1, called bits. A computer is built of switches that are on or off, so two symbols are enough. Digit 2 cannot appear in a pure binary number; digit 8 cannot appear in a pure octal number.
Q. 28. Pass mark 36<sub>10</sub> in binary is —
उत्तीर्ण अंक 36<sub>10</sub> binary में है —
Decimal 36 to binary: divide by 2 and read remainders from bottom to top — 36÷2 → 18 r0; 18÷2 → 9 r0; 9÷2 → 4 r1; 4÷2 → 2 r0; 2÷2 → 1 r0; 1÷2 → 0 r1. Remainders upward give 100100₂ (32+4=36). 1100100₂ is 100₁₀. 44₈ and 24₁₆ are 36 in octal and hex, not binary.
Q. 29. 36<sub>10</sub> in octal and hexadecimal is —
36<sub>10</sub> octal और hexadecimal में है —
36÷8 → 4 remainder 4, then 4÷8 → 0 remainder 4, so 44₈ (4×8+4=36). 36÷16 → 2 remainder 4, so 24₁₆ (2×16+4=36). 144₈ and 64₁₆ are 100 in decimal. 12₈ and A₁₆ are 10 in decimal.
Q. 30. 100<sub>10</sub> in binary is —
100<sub>10</sub> binary में है —
Decimal 100 to binary: 100÷2 chain of remainders read from bottom to top gives 1100100₂. The same 100 is 144₈ and 64₁₆. 100100₂ is the pass mark 36, not 100.
Q. 31. Hex 2F<sub>16</sub> in decimal is —
Hex 2F<sub>16</sub> decimal में है —
Other base → decimal: expand by place value and add. Hex 2F₁₆ = 2×16 + 15 = 47₁₀. Hex 24₁₆ = 2×16 + 4 = 36₁₀. F is 15 in decimal.
Q. 32. To convert binary to octal you group bits —
Binary से octal बदलने को bit समूह करते हो —
Binary to octal: group bits in threes from the right; pad the left with zeros if needed. 8 = 2³, so three bits make one octal digit. Example: 1100100₂ → 001 100 100 → 144₈. Binary to hex groups in fours from the right: 0110 0100 → 64₁₆.
Q. 33. 44<sub>8</sub> to hexadecimal, grouping through binary, is —
44<sub>8</sub> से hexadecimal, binary होकर, है —
Write each octal digit as three bits: 44₈ → 100 100₂. Group those bits in fours from the right: 0010 0100 → 24₁₆. Check through decimal: 44₈ = 4×8+4 = 36₁₀, and 36÷16 = 2 remainder 4 = 24₁₆.
Q. 34. Roll 2145<sub>10</sub> in hexadecimal is —
रोल 2145<sub>10</sub> hexadecimal में है —
2145÷16 → 134 remainder 1; 134÷16 → 8 remainder 6; 8÷16 → 0 remainder 8. Remainders from bottom to top give 861₁₆. The same roll is 100001100001₂ and 4141₈. 24₁₆ is 36 in decimal, not 2145.
Q. 35. AND output is 1 only when —
AND निर्गम 1 तभी जब —
AND output is 1 only if every input is 1. For two inputs, the output is 1 only when A=1 and B=1; any 0 makes the output 0. Example: the lab printer prints a mark-sheet only if marks ≥ 36 and fees are paid. OR is 1 if at least one input is 1. NOT inverts a single input.
Q. 36. OR output is 1 when —
OR निर्गम 1 होता है जब —
OR output is 1 if at least one input is 1. Output is 0 only when all inputs are 0. Example: the door alarm sounds if the window is open or the door is open. AND needs every input 1. NOT inverts one input.
Q. 37. NOT (inverter) on a single input —
एक निवेश पर NOT (इनवर्टर) —
NOT (inverter) has one input. Output is the opposite: 1 becomes 0, 0 becomes 1. A bar over the name (Ā) marks NOT A. NAND is AND followed by NOT; NOR is OR followed by NOT.
Q. 38. NAND and NOR are called universal gates because —
NAND और NOR universal gates इसलिए कहलाते हैं क्योंकि —
NAND and NOR are universal gates: any other gate (AND, OR, NOT, XOR, …) can be built from NAND alone, or from NOR alone. NAND is AND followed by NOT: output is 0 only when every input is 1. NOR is OR followed by NOT: output is 1 only when every input is 0.
Q. 39. For inputs A=1, B=1, XOR and XNOR give —
निवेश A=1, B=1 पर XOR और XNOR देते हैं —
XOR output is 1 when the inputs are different (01 or 10) and 0 when they are the same (00 or 11). XNOR is the opposite: 1 when the inputs are the same. So for A=1, B=1, XOR = 0 and XNOR = 1.
Q. 40. Machine language (1GL) is —
मशीन भाषा (1GL) है —
Machine language (1GL) is binary: only 0 and 1, in the exact pattern that one CPU model understands. It needs no translator. It is fast to run and painful to write. A program written for one microprocessor will not run on another without change. First-generation machines were programmed this way.
Q. 41. An assembler translates —
Assembler अनुवाद करता है —
An assembler translates assembly language (2GL) into machine language. Assembly replaces raw bits with mnemonics such as ADD, SUB, MOV, JMP. One assembly line still maps to about one machine instruction. The programmer must still know registers and memory.
Q. 42. A compiler differs from an interpreter because the compiler —
Compiler interpreter से अलग है क्योंकि compiler —
A compiler translates the whole high-level program into machine code, then you run the result; it can find many errors before the program runs. An interpreter translates and runs line by line (classic BASIC) and stops at the first error it meets while running.
Q. 43. 3GL and 4GL differ because —
3GL और 4GL अलग हैं क्योंकि —
A 3GL is a classic high-level procedural language: you write how to do the job step by step — COBOL, FORTRAN, C, Pascal, Java. A 4GL sits closer to what: you name the result more than the steps — SQL, report generators, form tools. 4GL is not “the language of a fourth-generation PC”; a PC can run 3GL. The generation-number of the language is not the generation-number of the hardware.
Q. 44. An operating system is —
ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम है —
An operating system is system software that manages the computer’s hardware and gives the user and the application programs a way to use that hardware. It loads programs, allots RAM, keeps named files, talks to keyboard, mouse, monitor and printer, and offers a CUI or GUI. Application software asks the OS; it does not drive the hardware directly.
Q. 45. Batch processing means —
Batch processing का अर्थ है —
Batch processing collects jobs into a pile and runs them one after another with little or no conversation with the user while they run. The user prepares a job, submits it, and collects the output later. You do not sit at the screen to correct a typing error in the middle of the run. Second-generation rooms worked this way.
Q. 46. A classic lab PC running desktop Windows is —
डेस्कटॉप Windows चलाने वाला क्लासिक लैब PC है —
Desktop Windows on a lab PC is a single-user OS with a GUI: one person at the keyboard, even if several programs are open (multitasking). MS-DOS is the CUI single-user example. A classmate cannot log in as a second person on that same cabinet the way many terminals on a mainframe can. That many-user sharing of one CPU is time sharing.
Q. 47. Multiprocessing means —
Multiprocessing का अर्थ है —
Multiprocessing means more than one processor (CPU) working together on jobs, so two ALUs can run at once. A dual-core lab PC is a small multiprocessing machine. Multiprogramming is different: more than one program kept in memory so the CPU is not idle while one program waits for a disk. Multiprocessing is more than one CPU.
Q. 48. Time sharing means —
Time sharing का अर्थ है —
Time sharing means many users (or many programs) share one CPU by short time slices, round and round, so each user feels the machine is theirs. A minicomputer or mainframe with many terminals is the picture. Windows on one desk with two windows open is multitasking for one user, not time sharing of many logged-in persons.
Q. 49. Windows is —
Windows है —
Windows is Microsoft’s family of GUI operating systems for microcomputers. You work with windows, icons, menus and a pointer (WIMP). After log-in you see the desktop, taskbar and Start; Explorer shows files and folders; Control Panel (or Settings) changes date, display, printer and mouse. Shut down through Start so that files in RAM are written back to disk. Windows is not the Internet and not HTML. DOS is the older CUI operating system.
Q. 50. Control Panel (or Settings) on Windows is used to —
Windows पर Control Panel (या Settings) का उपयोग है —
Control Panel (or Settings in later Windows) changes date, display, printers and mouse. The taskbar usually sits at the bottom: Start button, running programs, clock. Shut down through Start so that files in RAM are written back to disk, because RAM is volatile.
Q. 51. The Internet is best described as —
इंटरनेट सबसे सही है —
The Internet is a worldwide network of networks joined by agreed protocols so that data can move. That protocol family is TCP/IP. It is not one company’s wire and not only the WWW. E-mail, the WWW and search engines are services on the Internet. The Internet existed before the WWW.
Q. 52. An e-mail address has the shape —
ई-मेल पते का आकार है —
An e-mail address has the shape user@domain. To is the main recipient; Cc (carbon copy) sends a visible copy; Bcc (blind carbon copy) sends a copy the other names do not see. SMTP is the protocol for sending; POP or IMAP for fetching mail to a PC. E-mail is not a web page: you can send mail without opening the WWW.
Q. 53. Bcc on an e-mail —
ई-मेल पर Bcc —
To is the main recipient; Cc (carbon copy) sends a visible copy; Bcc (blind carbon copy) sends a copy the other To/Cc names do not see. An attachment is a file that rides with the message. Inbox, sent, draft and trash are the usual folders.
Q. 54. The WWW is —
WWW है —
The WWW (World Wide Web) is a service on the Internet that joins pages of text, pictures and links. A web page is one document; a website is a set of related pages; the home page is the front door. A hyperlink is the clickable jump. A URL is the address of a page. HTTP is the protocol that fetches web pages; HTML is the language those pages are written in. The WWW is not the whole Internet.
Q. 55. A web browser differs from a search engine because the browser —
वेब ब्राउज़र सर्च इंजन से अलग है क्योंकि ब्राउज़र —
A web browser is application software that requests a URL, receives HTML, and draws the page on the screen. Named browsers: Internet Explorer; a lab today also has Edge, Chrome or Firefox. A search engine is a website that finds other pages (Google, Bing, Yahoo). You use the search engine through a browser; the search engine is not itself the browser window.
Q. 56. HTML is —
HTML है —
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the language of ordinary web pages. Markup means you wrap content in tags that tell the browser how to show it; it is not a 3GL the CPU compiles like C. A simple HTML program is a small page saved as a .html file and opened in a browser. A static page is the same file for every visitor; a dynamic page is built on the server when asked. HTML 4 document types: Strict, Transitional, Frameset.
Q. 57. HTML 4 document types include —
HTML 4 दस्तावेज़-प्रकारों में हैं —
HTML 4 document type declarations: Strict (clean structure, little old formatting), Transitional (older tags still allowed), Frameset (the page is a frameset). The declaration sits at the top so the browser knows which rules to apply. A static page is the same HTML file every visitor receives; a dynamic page is built on the server when asked.
Q. 58. The title element of an HTML page is —
HTML पृष्ठ का title तत्व है —
The title is the text on the browser tab. It sits in the head, not as a heading inside the body. <h1> to <h6> are on-page headings. The skeleton is html around everything; head (information about the page) then body (what the visitor sees).
Q. 59. A hyperlink in HTML is written with —
HTML में हाइपरलिंक लिखा जाता है —
A hyperlink is written <a href="notice.html">Notice</a>. The href attribute holds the address the click should open — the HTML form of the WWW hyperlink. <br> is a line break; <hr> is a horizontal rule; <title> is the tab text.
Q. 60. Character formatting tags in HTML include —
HTML में अक्षर-रूप टैगों में हैं —
Type and character formatting: headings <h1> to <h6>; paragraph <p>; line break <br>. Character: <b> bold, <i> italic, <u> underline, <sup> superscript, <sub> subscript (36<sub>10</sub> in number systems). Some elements are empty: <br>, <hr>, <img>.
Q. 61. An HTML table’s row and data cell tags are —
HTML टेबल की पंक्ति और डेटा-कोशिका टैग हैं —
A table is wrapped in <table>. <tr> is a row; <th> a header cell; <td> a data cell. Named attributes: border, cellpadding, cellspacing, align, width. A two-column lab table can list Roll / Name, then 2145 / Anil Sharma.
Q. 62. A frameset document —
Frameset दस्तावेज़ —
A frameset document splits the browser window into named rectangles, each showing its own HTML file. The outer file uses <frameset> with rows or cols (for example cols="25%,75%") and <frame src="menu.html"> for each pane. <noframes> holds text for a browser that cannot show frames. Frameset is also an HTML 4 document type.
Q. 63. On an HTML form, GET and POST differ because —
HTML फॉर्म पर GET और POST अलग हैं क्योंकि —
A form collects input and sends it to a program (the action URL). GET appends the data to the URL, so it can be seen in the address bar. POST sends the data in the body of the request — the usual choice for a password. Controls include text, password, radio, checkbox, submit, reset, textarea and select.
Q. 64. Style sheets (CSS) are used to —
स्टाइल शीट (CSS) का उपयोग है —
Style sheets separate look from HTML structure. Three places: inline — a style attribute on one tag; internal — a <style> block in the head for that page; external — a .css file linked from many pages. HTML says this is a heading; the style sheet says the heading is blue.
Q. 65. A college computer lab — a row of PCs, a printer, a switch — is typically a —
कॉलेज कंप्यूटर लैब — PC की पंक्ति, प्रिंटर, स्विच — प्रायः है —
A LAN (Local Area Network) covers a small area: one lab, one floor, one college building. Speed is high; it is usually owned by one organisation. The college computer lab — a row of PCs, a printer, a switch — is a LAN. A MAN covers a city; a WAN covers a country or the world (the Internet is a WAN).
Q. 66. A MAN typically covers —
MAN प्रायः ढकता है —
A MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) covers a city — larger than a lab LAN, smaller than a country-wide WAN. A LAN is one lab or building; a WAN uses hired long-distance links. The three types named are LAN, MAN and WAN.
Q. 67. A WAN is not merely a large LAN because a WAN typically —
WAN केवल बड़ा LAN नहीं क्योंकि WAN प्रायः —
A WAN (Wide Area Network) is large, even global. It typically uses hired links — leased lines, ISDN, later the public Internet — rather than cables the college itself laid inside one room. Speed is often lower than a LAN; routing matters because the path is long. Railway reservation talking to a far server is WAN.
Q. 68. If the shared backbone of a bus network breaks —
Bus नेटवर्क की साझा रीढ़ टूटे तो —
Bus topology uses one shared backbone cable; every station taps it. If that backbone breaks, the whole bus is silent. Only one station should speak at a time or packets collide.
Q. 69. In star topology each station has its own cable to —
Star टोपोलॉजी में प्रत्येक स्टेशन की केबल जाती है —
In star topology each station has its own cable to a central hub or switch. A hub repeats every incoming bit to every port; a switch forwards a frame only toward the destination port. A modern college lab is almost always a star around a switch. If one PC cable fails, the others live; if the centre fails, all stop.
Q. 70. A hub differs from a switch because a hub —
Hub switch से अलग है क्योंकि hub —
A hub repeats every incoming bit to every port. A switch forwards a frame only toward the destination port, so other PCs are not flooded with that traffic. A modern college lab is almost always a star around a switch, not around a hub.
Q. 71. In ring topology each station joins —
Ring टोपोलॉजी में प्रत्येक स्टेशन जुड़ता है —
Ring topology: each station joins two neighbours in a loop. A token or a turn to speak travels the ring. A single break can stop the ring unless a second ring is built for backup.
Q. 72. Full mesh topology means —
Full mesh टोपोलॉजी का अर्थ है —
Mesh: many stations link to many others. Full mesh means every pair has a link — very reliable, very expensive, used where a WAN must not fail. Partial mesh is fewer extra links. If one link fails, other paths still run.
Q. 73. A bridge joins —
ब्रिज जोड़ता है —
A bridge joins two LAN segments that speak the same protocol (two Ethernet wings of one college). It forwards frames that belong on the other side and keeps local traffic local. A router joins different networks and chooses a path by address. A gateway joins unlike protocols or naming — a translator at the door. A modem turns digital bits into a telephone wave.
Q. 74. A router’s job is to —
राउटर का काम है —
A router joins different networks and chooses a path. The Internet is a mesh of routers. A campus router decides whether a packet for the result server goes out on the college WAN link. It reads addresses and forwards; it does not merely repeat every bit to every cable.
Q. 75. A gateway joins —
गेटवे जोड़ता है —
A gateway joins networks that do not share the same protocol or the same way of naming — a translator at the door. An e-mail gateway between two mail systems is the picture. All gateways route; not every router is a full gateway. Gateway is the most “different-to-different” of bridge / router / gateway.
Q. 76. A modem’s job is to —
मॉडेम का काम है —
A modem (modulator–demodulator) turns the computer’s digital bits into a wave a telephone line can carry, and back again. Dial-up Internet used a modem on a phone line. It is both input and output. A modem does not choose Internet routes; a router does.
Q. 77. ISDN is —
ISDN है —
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is a digital telephone-network service that can carry voice and data on the same subscriber line, faster and cleaner than an analogue modem call. It is a WAN access method: the college or office rents ISDN from the telecom.
Q. 78. A leased line is —
लीज्ड लाइन है —
A leased line is a dedicated circuit the organisation rents for exclusive, always-on use between two points — Bikaner campus to a city data centre, or a bank branch to the mainframe. You do not dial each time. Cost is for the line, not per call. WANs of railways and universities often sit on leased lines.
Q. 79. Videoconferencing differs from teleconferencing because videoconferencing —
वीडियोकॉन्फ्रेंसिंग टेलीकॉन्फ्रेंसिंग से अलग है क्योंकि वीडियोकॉन्फ्रेंसिंग —
Teleconferencing is a meeting held over a telecommunications link so that people in more than one place take part at the same time; voice is the minimum. Videoconferencing is that meeting plus live pictures: each site needs a camera, a microphone, speakers or headphones, and enough bandwidth. Both are applications of networks, not a fifth type of LAN/MAN/WAN.
Q. 80. Anil buying one Rapidex from a publisher’s website is —
Anil का प्रकाशक की वेबसाइट से एक Rapidex खरीदना है —
E-commerce is buying and selling of goods and services using computers and networks. B2C is a firm selling to a person: the publisher’s site selling one Rapidex to Anil. B2B is firm to firm. C2C is consumer to consumer. C2B is consumer to business. G2G is government office to government office, inside e-governance, not a shop sale.
Q. 81. Checking a university result on a website is e-governance as —
वेबसाइट पर विश्वविद्यालय परिणाम देखना ई-गवर्नेंस है —
E-governance is government using IT to serve citizens, business and other offices: information, forms, licences, results. Checking a university result, filling an exam form online, or a railway reservation against a government carrier is G2C (government to citizen). G2B is tenders and tax filing for firms; G2G is office to office. The aim is less queue, a recorded trail, the same rule for every roll number.
Q. 82. EDI is —
EDI है —
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the computer-to-computer exchange of standard business documents — purchase order, invoice, despatch note — in an agreed format, without retyping on paper at each end. It is older than a shopping website; it is a B2B link. Electronic funds transfer (EFT) on EDI networks moves money as a message when the EDI invoice matches.
Q. 83. Electronic payment systems include —
इलेक्ट्रॉनिक भुगतान प्रणालियों में शामिल हैं —
An electronic payment system is any accepted way to pay without handing cash across a counter. The named forms are credit card (pay later, the bank lends), debit card (pay now from the account), smart card (a chip that holds value or identity), electronic cheque, and e-cash / stored-value wallet. Paying an exam fee online is a payment; darkening OMR bubbles is not.
Q. 84. Computer ethics is —
कंप्यूटर नीति है —
Computer ethics is the set of principles that say what is right and wrong when you use a computer, a network or data. The machine is fast and has no feelings, so a person must bring the rule. Ethics is the habit that should stop the act even when no invigilator is in the lab. Law can punish; ethics is the ought.
Q. 85. PAPA in computer ethics names —
कंप्यूटर नीति में PAPA नाम करता है —
PAPA names four doors: Privacy (who may see roll 2145’s marks), Accuracy (a wrong print-out is not “the computer’s opinion”), Property (who owns the notes file or a program), and Access (who is allowed to log in).
Q. 86. Cyber law is —
साइबर विधि है —
Cyber law is the law that covers acts done with computers, computer systems, computer networks and data in electronic form. Ordinary law still applies (theft, defamation), but electronic records needed a statute. Ethics is the ought; cyber law is the must, with a court. In India that statute is the IT Act 2000.
Q. 87. The Information Technology Act, 2000, came into force in India on —
सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी अधिनियम, 2000, भारत में लागू हुआ —
The Information Technology Act, 2000 came into force in India on 17 October 2000. An amendment in 2008 added and tightened several offences. The lab PC is not outside the law.
Q. 88. The 2008 amendment to the IT Act —
IT Act का 2008 संशोधन —
The IT Act 2000 came into force on 17 October 2000. An amendment in 2008 added and tightened several offences, including those named with software piracy, intellectual property, child abuse and related computer crimes.
Q. 89. The IT Act gives legal recognition to —
IT Act कानूनी मान्यता देता है —
The Act gives legal recognition to electronic records and to digital signatures (later also electronic signatures). A filled exam form or a notice on an official site can stand the way a signed paper can, if the conditions of the Act are met. It names a Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) for digital-signature certificates.
Q. 90. Software piracy is —
सॉफ्टवेयर पाइरेसी है —
Software piracy is the unauthorised copying, use, distribution or sale of a program: installing one licensed copy on every lab PC without the licence that allows it, sharing a paid installer on a pen drive, or selling burned CDs. Softlifting is using a single-user copy on many machines; counterfeiting is fake boxes; internet piracy is upload or download of paid software. A pirated copy can also carry a virus.
Q. 91. Copyright as intellectual property protects —
बौद्धिक संपदा के रूप में कॉपीराइट बचाता है —
Intellectual property is the legal name for creations of the mind. Copyright protects original writing and software from unauthorised copy. A patent can protect a new invention. A trademark protects a name or sign that identifies a product. Copying a classmate’s HTML page and putting your roll on it is a copyright wrong as well as an ethics wrong.
Q. 92. On child abuse as named with the IT Act, the duty is —
IT Act के साथ नामित बाल शोषण पर कर्तव्य है —
The IT Act (sharpened by the 2008 amendment) names using a computer or network to harm a child in this way as an offence. The duty is: do not create, keep, share or seek such files; report through the college or the police if they appear on a lab PC.
Q. 93. Social engineering attacks —
सोशल इंजीनियरिंग हमला करती है —
Social engineering tricks a person into giving access, a password, a roll number, a card detail or a click — it does not break the CPU. Phishing is a fake e-mail or page that looks like a bank, a result portal or a scholarship site. Pretexting is a phone or message in a false role. Baiting is a “lost” pen drive in the lab. Do not give passwords or OTPs to a page or a person you did not seek; check the URL; ask the college office, not the mail.
Q. 94. Phishing is —
Phishing है —
Phishing is a fake e-mail or page that looks like a bank, a university result portal or a scholarship site (“confirm roll 2145 and your password”). It is a form of social engineering: it tricks the person, not the chip. Check the URL; do not give passwords or OTPs to a page you did not seek; ask the college office, not the mail.
Q. 95. Artificial Intelligence is —
कृत्रिम बुद्धि है —
Artificial Intelligence is the branch of computer science that tries to make machines do tasks that, when a person does them, we call intelligent: reason, learn from examples, understand language, see, plan. John McCarthy’s wording (1956) is programs that behave as if they have intelligence. It is not “any fast computer.” A lab PC adding 36 and 64 is arithmetic, not AI.
Q. 96. Alan Turing (1950) asked whether —
Alan Turing (1950) ने पूछा क्या —
Alan Turing (1950) asked whether a machine could imitate a person’s answers well enough to pass a test. The name AI is tied to the Dartmouth meeting, 1956, and John McCarthy. The 1980s brought expert systems and Japan’s fifth-generation project.
Q. 97. The name AI is tied to —
नाम AI बँधा है —
The name AI is tied to the Dartmouth meeting, 1956, and John McCarthy. Alan Turing (1950) asked whether a machine could imitate a person’s answers well enough to pass a test. The 1980s brought expert systems and Japan’s fifth-generation project.
Q. 98. An expert system is —
Expert system है —
An expert system uses rules taken from a human expert, used in medical or technical advice. It was a main AI application of the 1980s. Other AI applications include robotics, natural language, computer vision, diagnosis support, games, spam filters and maps.
Q. 99. A named disadvantage of AI is —
AI की नामित हानि है —
Named disadvantages: the machine has no common sense unless we have encoded or taught it; garbage in, garbage out still applies; errors can look confident; cost of data and machines; jobs change; privacy can shrink (a vision system that reads faces is also a watch). A program does not carry ethics by itself. Advantages beside those limits: speed on huge search, and the same advice at 2 a.m. as at noon.
Q. 100. Which is AI in day-to-day life?
रोज़मर्रा में AI कौन-सा है?
Day-to-day AI includes predictive text and auto-correct, voice assistants, maps that pick a road, spam filters, a shopping site that suggests another book, face unlock, captions on a video. Opening an MGSU notice in a browser is not itself AI. Asking a voice tool to read that notice aloud is the daily face of the field. The machine still has no feelings and no unprogrammed rule.
Pass line is 36%. A non-scientific calculator is allowed.
