    What has an aspect ratio of 11:6?

    Explanation
    EGA (Enhanced Graphics Adapter) is a computer display standard that was introduced in the 1980s. It has an aspect ratio of 11:6, which means that for every 11 units of width, there are 6 units of height. This aspect ratio is specific to EGA and is different from other display standards such as VGA or SVGA, which have different aspect ratios.

    What kind of RAM fits on a laptop motherboard

    • DIMDIM

    • SODIMM

    • TYS DIM

    • SOSOLIDIM

    Correct Answer
    A. SODIMM
    Explanation
    SODIMM stands for Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Module. It is a type of RAM that is specifically designed to fit on laptop motherboards. Unlike regular DIMM modules, which are used in desktop computers, SODIMMs are smaller in size and have a different pin configuration that allows them to be compatible with the limited space available in laptops. Therefore, SODIMM is the correct answer as it is the type of RAM that fits on a laptop motherboard.

    Biometric Sensors...........................

    • Identify the user's emotional characteristics which relays that on to the mainframe data-combobulatronical system. if the access is invalid. a self destruct sequence is initiated.

    • Identify the user's taste for strongbow or other apple based alchoholic beverages

    • Identify the user's password which then relays it to the operating system.

    • Identify the user's physical characteristics, such as fingerprints or retinas

    Correct Answer
    A. Identify the user's physical characteristics, such as fingerprints or retinas
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Identify the user's physical characteristics, such as fingerprints or retinas." This is because biometric sensors are specifically designed to capture and analyze unique physical characteristics of individuals, such as fingerprints or retinas. These characteristics are then used to verify the identity of the user and grant access to a system or device.

    .................. allows the program to be broken into smaller parts that can be loaded as needed by the operating system. It also allows individual programs to be multitasked.

    • Multithreading

    • Multiplying

    • Rhubarb

    • Multiprocessing

    Correct Answer
    A. Multithreading
    Explanation
    Multithreading allows a program to be divided into smaller parts called threads, which can be loaded as needed by the operating system. This allows for better utilization of system resources and enables individual programs to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, known as multitasking.

    • Provides a backup battery to help protect against potential power problems.

    Correct Answer
    A. Provides a backup battery to help protect against potential power problems.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Provides a backup battery to help protect against potential power problems." This means that an SPS (presumably referring to a Standby Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a device that includes a backup battery to provide power in case of a power outage or other power problems. It helps protect against potential power problems by ensuring that critical devices or systems can continue to operate even when the main power source is unavailable.

    • Actuator

    • Lemon Shark

    • Cylinder

    • Spindle

    Correct Answer
    A. Cylinder
    Explanation
    A cylinder is a stack of tracks lined up one on top of another. This term is commonly used in computer storage systems, particularly hard drives, to describe the arrangement of data storage tracks. The tracks are stacked vertically, with each track containing multiple sectors for storing data. This design allows for efficient and compact storage of large amounts of data.

    The total distance of cable (In Miles) on an FDDI dual ring is.....

    • 60 Miles

    • 62 Miles

    • 61 Miles

    • 70 Miles

    Correct Answer
    A. 62 Miles
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 62 Miles. FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) is a network technology that uses dual rings for data transmission. Each ring has a length of 30 miles, and they are connected to form a complete loop. Therefore, the total distance of cable on an FDDI dual ring is twice the length of one ring, which is 60 miles.

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 to the power of 60
    Explanation
    An exabyte is a unit of digital information that is equal to 2 to the power of 60 bytes. This means that an exabyte is a very large amount of data, equivalent to 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes.

    What are the two files NTLDR loads to make up the core of Windows XP?

    Correct Answer
    ntoskrnl.exe hal.dll ntoskrnl hal goats cheese
    Explanation
    NTLDR (NT Loader) is a program in Windows XP that is responsible for loading the operating system. It loads two files, namely "ntoskrnl.exe" and "hal.dll", which together form the core of Windows XP. These files are essential for the proper functioning of the operating system. The option "ntoskrnl hal" is incorrect as it does not include the file extension ".exe" for "ntoskrnl". The option "goats cheese" is irrelevant and does not relate to the question.
