    What memory is Non-Volatile.(Hint: Programs related to operating system are stored here.)

    Explanation
    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.

    The CPU is also known as the what of the computer.

    Explanation
    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.

    What are these examples of?-Printer-Mouse-Moniter-Keyboard-Scanner

    Explanation
    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:

  • 5. 

    What type is this included in?-Wordprocessing-Spreadsheets-Games-DPT

    • Hardware

    • Software

    Correct Answer
    A. Software
    Explanation
    The question is asking about the type of the given item, which is "included in" a certain category. The options given are "Wordprocessing," "Spreadsheets," "Games," and "DPT." However, the correct answer is "Software," as it is a broader category that encompasses all the options mentioned. Therefore, the item being referred to is a type of software.

  • 6. 

    What is the Binary Code?

    • 2 and 3

    • 4 and 5

    • 77 and 99

    • 6 and 7

    • 0 and 1

    Correct Answer
    A. 0 and 1
    Explanation
    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.

  • 7. 

    How many bits to make a byte?

    • 8 bits

    • 14 bits

    • 5 bits

    • 7 bits

    • 10 bits

    Correct Answer
    A. 8 bits
    Explanation
    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:

  • 8. 

    1,000 kilobytes =

    • 1 byte

    • 1,000 gigabytes

    • 1 megabytes

    • 1,000 megabytes

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 megabytes
    Explanation
    The question asks for the equivalent of 1,000 kilobytes. Since there are 1,000 kilobytes in 1 megabyte, the correct answer is 1 megabyte.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    1,000 megabytes =

    • 1,000 gigibytes

    • 1 gigibyte

    • 1,000 kilobytes

    • 1 gigabyte

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 gigabyte
    Explanation
    1,000 megabytes is equal to 1 gigabyte. This is because there are 1,000 megabytes in a gigabyte.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What is the speed of the CPU?

    • Gerghertz

    • Megahertz

    • Bibahertz

    • Kilohertz

    Correct Answer
    A. Megahertz
    Explanation
    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.

    What is used for encoding alphabet?

    • Bits

    • Barts

    • Bytes

    • Bakes

    Correct Answer
    A. Bytes
    Explanation
    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.

  • 12. 

    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.

    1,000 characters are equal to what? (2 correct answers)

    • 1,000 bytes

    • 1 kilobyte

    • 1 gigabyte

    • 1 megabyte

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. 1,000 bytes
    A. 1 kilobyte
    Explanation
    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.
