  • 2. 

    Internet uses

    • Packet switching

    • Circuit switching

    • Telephone switching

    • Telex switching

    Correct Answer
    A. Packet switching
    Explanation
    Packet switching is the correct answer because it is the method used by the internet to transmit data. In packet switching, data is divided into small packets and sent over the network individually. These packets can take different routes to reach their destination and can be reassembled at the receiving end. This method allows for efficient use of network resources and enables data to be transmitted in a more flexible and reliable manner compared to other switching methods like circuit switching, telephone switching, and telex switching.

    • A commonly agreed set of rules to communicate between computers

    • A World Wide Web

    Correct Answer
    A. A commonly agreed set of rules to communicate between computers
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a commonly agreed set of rules to communicate between computers. This is because the internet is a global network of computers that need to communicate with each other. In order for this communication to happen smoothly, there needs to be a set of rules or protocols that are agreed upon by all parties involved. These protocols ensure that data can be transmitted and received correctly, allowing for seamless communication between computers on the internet.

  • 10. 

    IP address is currently:

    • 4 bytes long

    • Available in plenty

    • 6 bytes long

    • Not assigned as it is all used up

    Correct Answer
    A. 4 bytes long
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 4 bytes long. An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. IPv4 addresses, which are currently in use, are represented by 32 bits or 4 bytes. IPv6 addresses, on the other hand, are represented by 128 bits or 16 bytes. Therefore, the given answer accurately states that IP addresses are currently 4 bytes long.

    • The intranets of two co-operating organizations interconnected via a secure leased line

    • An extra network used by an organization for higher reliability

    • An extra connection to internet provided to co-operating organization

    Correct Answer
    A. The intranets of two co-operating organizations interconnected via a secure leased line
    Explanation
    An extranet refers to the intranets of two co-operating organizations interconnected via a secure leased line. This means that two organizations have their own private networks (intranets) and they are connected to each other through a secure and dedicated connection (leased line). This allows the organizations to share information, collaborate, and communicate securely over the network. It is different from the internet as it is a private network limited to the two organizations involved.

    IP addresses are converted to:

    • A binary string

    • Alphanumeric string

    • A hierarchy of domain names

    • A hexadecimal string

    Correct Answer
    A. A hierarchy of domain names
    Explanation
    IP addresses are not directly converted to a hierarchy of domain names. Instead, domain names are used to represent and organize IP addresses in a hierarchical manner. Domain names provide a more human-readable and memorable way to access websites and resources on the internet, while IP addresses are the numerical addresses used by computers to identify and communicate with each other on the network.

    The packets of an internet message:

    • Take a predetermined path

    • Take a path based on packet priority

    • Go along different paths based on path availability

    • Take the shortest path from source to destination

    Correct Answer
    A. Go along different paths based on path availability
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "go along different paths based on path availability". This means that the packets of an internet message do not follow a predetermined path or a path based on priority. Instead, they are routed along different paths based on the availability of those paths. This allows for efficient routing of packets, as the network can dynamically choose the best available path for each packet at any given time.

    The time taken by internet packets:

    • Can be predetermined before transmission

    • May be different for different packets

    • Is irrelevant for audio packets

    Correct Answer
    A. Is irrelevant for audio packets
    Explanation
    The time taken by internet packets may vary for different packets, but it is irrelevant for audio packets. This means that the timing of audio packets is not crucial for their transmission and reception. Unlike other types of packets, such as data packets, where timing is important for proper functioning, audio packets can be transmitted and received without strict adherence to specific time intervals.
