Which of the following statements is true about modem?
-
It amplifies the digital signals
-
It converts digital signals into analog signals and vice versa
-
It reduces the noise in analog signal
-
It converts AC current to DC current and vice versa
Correct Answer
A. It converts digital signals into analog signals and vice versaExplanation
A modem is a device that allows computers to connect to the internet. It works by converting digital signals from the computer into analog signals that can be transmitted over telephone lines or cable lines. On the receiving end, the modem converts the analog signals back into digital signals that the computer can understand. This allows for the transmission of data between computers and the internet. Therefore, the statement "It converts digital signals into analog signals and vice versa" is true.Rate this question:

Which of the following devices contains no moving parts and stores data in a digital format?
-
Solid-state drives
-
Cartridge tape drive
-
Floppy disk drive
-
Hard disk drive
Correct Answer
A. Solid-state drivesExplanation
Solid-state drives (SSDs) contain no moving parts and store data in a digital format. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) that use spinning disks to read and write data, SSDs use flash memory technology to store data electronically. This makes SSDs faster, more reliable, and less prone to physical damage or failure. Cartridge tape drives, floppy disk drives, and hard disk drives all have moving parts and do not store data in a purely digital format. Therefore, SSDs are the only option in the given list that fits the description.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements is true about a brownout?
-
It is the situation of voltage drop in power supply
-
It supplies power to the devices in case of a power failure
-
It is a brief decrease in voltage at the power source
-
It is a device used to filter out the effects of voltage spikes and surges
Correct Answer
A. It is the situation of voltage drop in power supplyExplanation
A brownout refers to a situation of voltage drop in the power supply. This means that the voltage level provided by the power source temporarily decreases, which can cause a reduction in the performance of electrical devices. Unlike a blackout where the power is completely cut off, a brownout still allows some level of power supply but at a lower voltage than normal. This can lead to dimming lights, slower device operation, and potential damage to sensitive electronics.Rate this question:

Which of the following protocols handles the reliable delivery of data?
-
TCP
-
ARP
-
IPX
-
UDP
Correct Answer
A. TCPExplanation
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is the correct answer because it is specifically designed to provide reliable delivery of data over a network. It ensures that data packets are delivered in the correct order, without errors, and with acknowledgment from the receiving end. TCP uses various mechanisms like sequencing, acknowledgment, and retransmission to guarantee reliable delivery, making it suitable for applications that require error-free and ordered data transmission, such as web browsing, file transfer, and email. In contrast, UDP (User Datagram Protocol) does not provide reliable delivery and is more suitable for applications where speed and efficiency are prioritized over reliability. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) and IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) are network protocols that handle different functions and do not specifically deal with reliable data delivery.Rate this question:

Your office uses Windows Vista. This morning, a patch was applied automatically. Suddenly, the users who have scanners attached to their computers complain that they cannot access the scanners. When you check their Device manager, you notice there is no excalmation point next to the scanner. What should you do now?
-
Reinstall Vista
-
Find a Vista compatible scanner
-
Manually unistall and reinstall the device driver
-
Roll back the patch
Correct Answer
A. Manually unistall and reinstall the device driverExplanation
The absence of an exclamation point next to the scanner in Device Manager indicates that there is no issue with the driver itself. Therefore, reinstalling Vista or finding a compatible scanner would not solve the problem. Since the issue occurred after a patch was applied, it is likely that the patch caused a conflict with the scanner driver. Manually uninstalling and reinstalling the device driver would refresh the driver and potentially resolve the issue. Rolling back the patch could also be a valid solution, but it is not mentioned in the given options.Rate this question:

-
The printer driver is unistalled from the laptop
-
The printer driver is not updated on the laptop
-
Printer is located at the distance of more than three feet from the laptop
-
The printing option is disable in the Control Panel on the laptop
Correct Answer
A. Printer is located at the distance of more than three feet from the laptopExplanation
The most likely cause of the issue is that the printer is located at a distance of more than three feet from the laptop. Infrared technology typically has a limited range, and if the printer is too far away, the laptop may not be able to establish a connection with it.Rate this question:

What iof the following is the most common method used by attackers to identify wireless networks?
-
Back door
-
Packet sniffling
-
Packet filtering
-
War driving
Correct Answer
A. War drivingExplanation
War driving is the most common method used by attackers to identify wireless networks. War driving involves driving around with a device that can detect and map out wireless networks in the vicinity. Attackers can then use this information to gain unauthorized access to the network or launch further attacks. This method is popular because it allows attackers to easily identify vulnerable networks and exploit them for their own purposes.Rate this question:

In which of the following conditions does BIOS need to be updated?
-
If users have to use new hardware features or options that are supported by motherboard, but not supported by the computer BIOS.
-
If the operating system installed on the computer has bugs
-
If the BIOS does not support new devices
-
If the software application installed on the computer stops responding frequently
Correct Answer(s)
A. If users have to use new hardware features or options that are supported by motherboard, but not supported by the computer BIOS.
A. If the BIOS does not support new devicesExplanation
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) needs to be updated in two specific conditions. Firstly, when users want to use new hardware features or options that are supported by the motherboard but not supported by the computer BIOS. This update ensures compatibility and functionality with the new hardware. Secondly, if the computer BIOS does not support new devices, updating the BIOS becomes necessary to enable support for these devices. In both cases, updating the BIOS allows users to take advantage of new hardware features and ensures compatibility with new devices.Rate this question:

Your customer is very concerned about security for Wi-Fi at his home. He wants to make sure that only computers, he has authorized can get on his Wi-Fi. What is the most appropriate security measure you can recommend?
-
A Firewall
-
WPA encryption
-
MAC Filtering
-
WEP encryption
Correct Answer
A. MAC FilteringExplanation
MAC Filtering is the most appropriate security measure to recommend in this scenario. MAC Filtering allows the customer to create a list of authorized devices by specifying their unique MAC addresses. Only devices with MAC addresses on the list will be able to connect to the Wi-Fi network, providing an extra layer of security and ensuring that only authorized computers can access the network. This measure helps to prevent unauthorized access and protect the customer's Wi-Fi network from potential security breaches.Rate this question:
