SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) is a small telecommunication earth station. The earth station is designed to transmit and receive data signals via a satellite signal in real time. “very small” refers to the size of the antenna on the VSAT dish. A VSAT transmits narrow and broadband signals to orbital satellites. With the help of sky transponder the data from the satellites is transmitted to different hubs and finally to the end user device. A VSAT end user needs a box that interfaces between the user’s computer and an outside antenna with a transceiver. They are used for Internet purpose, POS transaction, VoIP and many others.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol.
ARP discovers the hardware address, also called Media Access Control (MAC) address of a host from its known IP address.
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol(RARP) is used to get IP address by providing MAC address.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed data centers.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. A Pointer is a programming language object that stores a memory address of another variable in the memory. A pointer references a location in memory, and obtaining the value stored at that location is known as dereferencing the pointer.
S5. Ans. (a)
Sol. EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is PROM that can be erased and re-used using ultraviolet rays. It is built of array of floating-gate transistors individually programmed by an electronic device that supplies higher voltages than those normally used in digital circuits. It retains its data when its power supply is switched off so it is non-volatile.
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol.
Adware is a form of malware (malicious software) which presents unwanted advertisements to the user of a computer. It may be in the form of “pop-up” or “unclosable window” . It may automatically display or download advertising material such as banners or pop-ups when a user is online.
A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored in a user’s web browser while a user is browsing a website in the future. The data stored in the cookie can be retrieved by the website to notify the website of the user’s previous activity. They helps the websites in remembering the state of the website or activity that the user had done in the past. It is also called as a HTTP cookie, web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie.
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Mesh topology routes data sent through any of several possible nodes to the receiving node. It is expensive for setup as it connects every node to all nodes on the network. However, it is considered the most reliable because it is most redundant of all topology i.e. if one node fails, the network can route traffic to another node.
In a mesh topology every node is connected to every other node i.e., bidirectional links between each possible nodes. So, Total number of cable links with n nodes = n(n-1)/2
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. A B+ tree consists of a root, internal nodes and leaves. The root may be either a leaf or a node with two or more children. B + trees is a variant of original B Trees in which all records are stored in the leaves and all leaves are linked sequentially. A B+ Tree is utilized for implementing dynamic indexing on multiple levels. In this the data pointers are stored only at the leaf nodes of the tree so search process becomes more accurate and faster.
If target key value < internal node, then left side point is followed or,
target key value ≥ internal node, then the right side point is followed.
All the statements given above are true.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. The difference between phase and frequency modulation lies in the different definition of the modulation index.
Modulation index of FM is β = (K_f A_m)/f_m
Modulation index of PM is β = K_f A_m
S10. Ans.(c)
