Computer Windows And DOS 2(TTA) - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Which of the following operating systems does not implement multitasking truly?

    • Windows 95

    • Windows 98

    • Windows XP

    • MS DOS

    Correct Answer
    A. MS DOS
    Explanation
    MS DOS does not implement multitasking truly. Unlike the other operating systems listed, MS DOS is a single-tasking operating system, meaning it can only run one program at a time. It does not have the capability to run multiple programs simultaneously or switch between them. This limitation makes it less efficient and less capable of handling multiple tasks compared to multitasking operating systems like Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows XP.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which command in DOS allows you to move one file from one location to another location

    • rename

    • copy

    • Move

    • Cp

    Correct Answer
    A. Move
    Explanation
    The "move" command in DOS allows you to move one file from one location to another location. This command is used to transfer a file from its current directory to a different directory or to rename a file while moving it to a different location. Unlike the "copy" command, which creates a duplicate of the file in the new location, the "move" command removes the file from its original location and places it in the specified destination. The "rename" command, on the other hand, is used solely for renaming files without changing their location.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which of the following file extension that suggests a backup copy

    • bak

    • Bas

    • com

    • txt

    Correct Answer
    A. bak
    Explanation
    The file extension "bak" suggests a backup copy because it is commonly used to indicate that a file is a backup or a copy of the original file. This extension is often added to the end of a file name to indicate that it is a backup version of the original file, which can be useful for recovering data in case the original file is lost or corrupted.

    Explanation
    Both "mkdir" and "md" are valid commands in DOS that create a directory. These commands are used to make a new directory or folder within the current directory. The "mkdir" command is short for "make directory" and the "md" command is short for "make directory" as well. Therefore, the correct answer is that both "mkdir" and "md" can be used to create a directory in DOS.

    Correct Answer
    A. Path
    Explanation
    The "path" command in DOS is used to provide access to the files in other directories. It allows the user to specify a list of directories in which the system will search for executable files. This is useful when the user wants to run a program that is located in a different directory than the current one. By setting the path, the user can easily access and execute files from different directories without having to specify the full path every time.

It provides options to set the size, type, and active status of the partitions. By using "fdisk", users can efficiently manage the storage space on their hard drive and organize it according to their needs.

    Swapping actually

    • Works best with most computers

    • Allows many programs to use memory simultaneously

    • allows each program in turn to use the memory

    • Does not work with overlaying

    Correct Answer
    A. allows each program in turn to use the memory
    Explanation
    Swapping allows each program in turn to use the memory. This means that when multiple programs are running simultaneously, swapping allows each program to take turns using the available memory. This is important because it ensures that each program has access to the resources it needs to run efficiently. Swapping involves moving data between the computer's memory and the hard disk, allowing the computer to free up memory for other programs when needed.

    A. .bat
    Explanation
    The .bat extension is a valid extension that a user is allowed to create on DOS. This extension is used for batch files, which are scripts that contain a series of commands to be executed by the operating system. Batch files are commonly used for automating repetitive tasks or running multiple commands in sequence.
