1,000 characters are equal to what? (2 correct answers)
- A.
1,000 bytes
- B.
1 kilobyte
- C.
1 gigabyte
- D.
1 megabyte
Correct Answer(s)
A. 1,000 bytes
B. 1 kilobyteExplanation
The correct answer is 1,000 bytes and 1 kilobyte. In computer science, a byte is a unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. It is commonly used for measuring the size of files and storage capacity. A kilobyte, on the other hand, is equal to 1,000 bytes. It is often used to describe the size of small files or storage devices. Therefore, both 1,000 bytes and 1 kilobyte are valid representations of 1,000 characters in the context of digital information.Rate this question:

What memory is Non-Volatile.(Hint: Programs related to operating system are stored here.)
Correct Answer(s)
ROM
Read only Memory
Read Only Memory
read only memoryExplanation
ROM is a type of memory that is non-volatile, meaning it retains its data even when the power is turned off. It is commonly used to store programs related to the operating system, as mentioned in the hint. The different variations of the answer, such as "Read only Memory" and "read only memory," all refer to the same concept of ROM being a non-volatile memory.Rate this question:

What is used for encoding alphabet?
- A.
Bits
- B.
Barts
- C.
Bytes
- D.
Bakes
Correct Answer
C. BytesExplanation
Bytes are used for encoding the alphabet. Bytes are a unit of digital information that consist of 8 bits. Each byte can represent a character or symbol, including alphabets, numbers, and special characters. By using bytes, computers can store and process textual data, including the alphabet, in a standardized and efficient manner.Rate this question:

What does RAM stand for?
Correct Answer
Random Access Memory
random access memoryExplanation
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is a type of computer memory that allows data to be accessed in any random order, rather than sequentially. This means that data can be read from or written to any location in the memory, making it faster and more efficient compared to other types of memory. RAM is volatile, meaning that its contents are lost when the computer is powered off or restarted. It is a crucial component in determining the speed and performance of a computer system.Rate this question:

How many bits to make a byte?
- A.
8 bits
- B.
14 bits
- C.
5 bits
- D.
7 bits
- E.
10 bits
Correct Answer
A. 8 bitsExplanation
A byte is a unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Each bit represents a binary value of either 0 or 1. Therefore, to make a byte, we need 8 bits.Rate this question:

What are these examples of?-Printer-Mouse-Moniter-Keyboard-Scanner
Correct Answer
Hardware
hard ware
Hard wareExplanation
These examples (printer, mouse, monitor, keyboard, scanner) are all types of hardware. Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system that can be touched and manipulated, as opposed to software which refers to the programs and instructions that run on the hardware.Rate this question:
- 10.
Give me a characteristic of Hardware.
Correct Answer
Something you can touch and see.
Something you can touch.
Something you can see.Explanation
Hardware refers to physical components of a computer system that can be touched and seen. It includes devices such as the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and CPU. These components are tangible and can be physically manipulated. Therefore, the characteristic of hardware being "something you can touch and see" accurately describes its nature.Rate this question:

What is the Binary Code?
- A.
2 and 3
- B.
4 and 5
- C.
77 and 99
- D.
6 and 7
- E.
0 and 1
Correct Answer
E. 0 and 1Explanation
The correct answer is 0 and 1. Binary code is a system of representing information using only two digits, 0 and 1. It is the foundation of digital technology and is used in computers and other electronic devices to store and process data. In binary code, each digit represents a power of 2, allowing for efficient and reliable data storage and manipulation.Rate this question:

The CPU is also known as the what of the computer.
Correct Answer
Brain
brainExplanation
The CPU is often referred to as the "brain" of the computer because it performs the majority of the processing tasks. It is responsible for executing instructions, performing calculations, and managing data flow within the computer system. Similar to how the brain controls and coordinates various functions in the human body, the CPU controls and coordinates the operations of the computer, making it a fitting analogy.Rate this question:

What is the speed of the CPU?
- A.
Gerghertz
- B.
Megahertz
- C.
Bibahertz
- D.
Kilohertz
Correct Answer
B. MegahertzExplanation
The speed of the CPU is measured in Megahertz. Megahertz is a unit of frequency that represents one million cycles per second. It is commonly used to measure the clock speed of a CPU, which determines how many instructions it can execute per second. A higher Megahertz value indicates a faster CPU speed, allowing for faster processing and better performance.Rate this question:
