Where is the system BIOS stored?
- A.
On a ROM chip.
- B.
In standard RAM.
- C.
In CMOS RAM.
- D.
On the primary hard drive.
Correct Answer
A. On a ROM chip.Explanation
The system BIOS is stored on a ROM chip. ROM stands for Read-Only Memory, which means that the data stored in it cannot be modified or erased. The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is responsible for initializing and controlling the hardware components of a computer system. It contains the instructions that allow the computer to start up and perform basic functions before the operating system takes over. Storing the BIOS on a ROM chip ensures that it remains intact even when the computer is powered off, providing a stable and reliable source of instructions for the system.Rate this question:

When installing a pata hard disk in a computer, which of the following jumper setting do not apply?
- A.
Master
- B.
Slave
- C.
Cable select
- D.
Chkdsk
Correct Answer
D. ChkdskExplanation
The jumper settings Master, Slave, and Cable select are used to specify the role of the PATA hard disk in the computer's IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) interface. The Master setting is used when the hard disk is the primary drive, the Slave setting is used when it is the secondary drive, and the Cable select setting allows the computer to automatically determine the roles based on the physical cable connections. On the other hand, chkdsk is a command used in Windows operating systems to check and repair file system errors on a disk, but it is not a jumper setting for the hard disk.Rate this question:

MR. Tej want to apply for ip address for a small compny having not more than 100 computerinb their network. which class of ip address he should apply for?
- A.
Class D
- B.
Class A
- C.
Class B
- D.
Class C
Correct Answer
D. Class CExplanation
For a small company with not more than 100 computers in their network, MR. Tej should apply for a Class C IP address. Class C IP addresses are designed for small networks and can support up to 254 hosts per network. They have a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which allows for 256 possible network addresses. This is sufficient for MR. Tej's company as it falls within the range of 1 to 126, making it suitable for small-scale networks. Class A and Class B addresses are typically used for larger networks, while Class D addresses are reserved for multicast addresses.Rate this question:

...........................terminal emulation protocol that enables a user at one site to simulate a session on a remote host.
- A.
Telnet
- B.
FTP
- C.
HTTP
- D.
POP3
Correct Answer
A. TelnetExplanation
Telnet is the correct answer because it is a terminal emulation protocol that allows a user to establish a remote connection to a host computer. It enables the user to simulate a session on the remote host, giving them access to the command line interface and the ability to execute commands as if they were physically present at the remote site. FTP, HTTP, and POP3 are not terminal emulation protocols and do not provide the same level of remote access and control as Telnet.Rate this question:
