Q. Second generation computers are made of
Transistors
Vaccum Tubes
VLSI
LSI

Explanation:

Transistors replaced vacuum tubes and ushered in the second generation of computers. The transistor was invented in 1947 but did not see widespread use in computers until the late 1950s. The transistor was far superior to the vacuum tube, allowing computers to become smaller, faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient and more reliable than their first-generation predecessors. Though the transistor still generated a great deal of heat that subjected the computer to damage, it was a vast improvement over the vacuum tube. Second-generation computers still relied on punched cards for input and printouts for output.
Second-generation computers moved from cryptic binary machine language to symbolic, or assembly, languages, which allowed programmers to specify instructions in words. High-level programming languages were also being developed at this time, such as early versions of COBOL and FORTRAN.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz) from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks (PANs). Invented by Dutch electrical engineer Jaap Haartsen, working for telecom vendor Ericsson in 1994.

Q. ______ is the high speed memory used in the computer.
Cache
Hard Disk
RAM
BIOS

Explanation:

Computers use different types of memory. Some are fast, others are slow.
is a type of memory that stores data temporarily while the computer is running. It's fast but loses its data when the computer is turned off.
A is a permanent storage device that holds information even when the computer is off. It's much slower than RAM.
is a very fast type of memory that's even faster than RAM. It stores frequently accessed data to make the computer work quicker.
is a program stored in a special type of memory that starts up the computer. It's not primarily used for general data storage.
Therefore, the answer choices that represent high-speed memory are RAM and Cache. However, is significantly faster than RAM.

Q. Window's settings are recorded in
WINDOWS.INI
SYSTEM.INI
WIN.INI
GROUP.INI

Explanation:

The win.ini file is a Windows system file used with Microsoft Windows 3.x and 9x initialization that loads from the C:Windows directory and loads settings each time Windows boots. For example, the communication drivers, wallpaper, screen saver, languages and fonts are loaded each time the win.ini initializes. If this file becomes corrupt or bad, Windows will either not load, or have several errors as it loads.

Q. ________ keys are present on the top row of the keyboard.
Function
Numeric
Type writer
Navigation

Explanation:

The function keys, also called the F-keys or Fn keys, are located in the top row of nearly all computer keyboards. They typically contain at least F1 through F12, but may include to F16 on some keyboards. The function that each key provides depends on what program is currently running, and certain keys may provide no function at all.

Q. The memory which is programmed at the time it is manufactured is
RAM
ROM
EPROM
PROM

Explanation:

ROM is an acronym for Read-Only Memory. It refers to computer memory chips containing permanent or semi-permanent data. Unlike RAM, ROM is non-volatile; even after you turn off your computer, the contents of ROM will remain. Almost every computer comes with a small amount of ROM containing the boot firmware.

Q. Operating System is the most common type of _________ software.
Application
Communication
Word Processing Software
System

Explanation:

An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs.
After being initially loaded into the computer by a boot program, manages all the other programs in a computer. The other programs are called applications or application programs. The application programs make use of the operating system by making requests for services through a defined application program interface (API).

Q. RAM chips
All of the above
store data indefinitely unless you delete it
allow the computer to store data electronically
are secondary memory

Explanation:

A RAM chip is a microchip used as RAM storage for computers and other devices. This is the actual chip that is soldered onto small circuit boards in order to create RAM cards or sticks, and it is rated for performance and capacity differently, depending on the model and manufacturer.

Q. A typical modern computer uses
Magnetic cores for secondary storage
LSI chips
Magnetic tape for primary memory
More than 10,000 vaccum tubes

Explanation:

Large-scale integration (LSI) is the process of integrating or embedding thousands of transistors on a single silicon semiconductor microchip.

Q. GUI stands for
Graph Use Interface
Graphical Universal Interface
Graphical User Interface
Graphical Unique Interface

Explanation:

A Graphical User Interface is a computer interface that allows users to interact with a device through graphical elements such as pictures and animations, as opposed to text-based commands.

Q. The most advanced form of ROM is?
Cache Memory
PROM
RAM
EEPROM

Explanation:

(EEPROM) is a special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge. Like other types of PROM, EEPROM retains its contents even when the power is turned off. Also like other types of ROM, EEPROM is not as fast as RAM.
EEPROM is similar to Flash Memory (sometimes called flash EEPROM). The principal difference is that EEPROM requires data to be written or erased one byte at a time whereas flash memory allows data to be written or erased in blocks. This makes flash memory faster.

Q. Which was an early mainframe computer?
BRAINIA
UNIC
FUNTRIA
ENIAC

Explanation:

ENIAC(Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was amongst the earliest electronic general-purpose computers made. It was Turing-complete, digital and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.

Q. What does a system bus do?
carries out instructions
allows the user to communicate with the computer
stores data and instructions
connects various components within the computer

Explanation:

A system bus is a single computer bus that connects the major components of a computer system, combining the functions of a data bus to carry information, an address bus to determine where it should be sent, and a control bus to determine its operation.

Q. Which one of the following is not an application software package?
Adobe Pagemaker
Open Office
Microsoft Office
Red Hat Linux

Explanation:

Red hat Linux is not an application software package. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a Linux-based operating system from Red Hat designed for businesses. RHEL can work on desktops, on servers, in hypervisors or in the cloud.

Q. When was the first e-mail sent?
1971
1974
1969
1963

Explanation:

Sent by computer engineer in , the email was simply a test message to himself. The email was sent from one computer to another computer sitting right beside it in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but it traveled via ARPANET, a network of computers that was the precursor to the Internet.

Q. A collection of 8 bits is called
Nibble
Record
Word
Byte
