    • Field/column

    • Row & chart

    • None of above

    Correct Answer
    A. Row & column

    Which application program is called data base program?

    • Excel

    • Word

    • PowerPoint

    • Access

    Correct Answer
    A. Access
    Explanation
    Access is the correct answer because it is an application program specifically designed for managing and manipulating databases. It allows users to create, edit, and organize data in a structured manner, making it an essential tool for data management and storage. Unlike Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, which are primarily used for other purposes such as spreadsheets, documents, and presentations respectively, Access focuses solely on database functionality.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    To save a document in different location use.

    • Save

    • Save as

    • Save as web page

    • All of above

    Correct Answer
    A. Save as
    Explanation
    Save as is the correct answer because it allows the user to save a document in a different location by giving them the option to choose a specific folder or directory to save the file in. The other options, Save and Save as web page, do not provide the ability to choose a different location and instead save the document in its current location or as a web page respectively. Therefore, Save as is the most appropriate option for saving a document in a different location.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    We create new document from:

    • File/New tab

    • File/New

    Correct Answer
    A. File/New
    Explanation
    To create a new document, we use the "File/New" option. This option allows us to start a new document from scratch. The other options mentioned, such as "File/New tab" and "Format/New option," do not specifically refer to creating a new document. Therefore, the correct answer is "File/New."

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The fastest printer is

    • Laser printer

    • Dot matrix printer

    • Inkjet printer

    • None of above

    Correct Answer
    A. Laser printer
    Explanation
    A laser printer is the fastest printer compared to the other options mentioned. Laser printers use a laser beam to create an electrostatic image on a drum, which attracts toner and transfers it onto paper. This process is much faster than the mechanisms used in dot matrix and inkjet printers. Dot matrix printers use a matrix of pins to strike an inked ribbon and create characters, while inkjet printers spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper. Both of these methods are slower than the laser printing process, making the laser printer the fastest option.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Where is footnote placed?

    A. Bottom of the page
    Explanation
    Footnotes are typically placed at the bottom of the page. This allows for easy reference and provides additional information or citations without disrupting the flow of the main text. Placing footnotes at the bottom of the page also helps to maintain the overall visual organization and readability of the document.

    Correct Answer
    A. Peripheral devices
    Explanation
    Peripheral devices are the devices that connect the CPU (Central Processing Unit) and the users. These devices include input devices, such as keyboards and mice, as well as output devices, such as monitors and printers. They act as intermediaries between the CPU and the users, allowing users to interact with the computer system and providing input and output capabilities. Therefore, peripheral devices are the correct answer as they facilitate the connection between the CPU and users.
