Which of the following networks covers the widest range?
Answer Details
The network that covers the widest range is the WAN (Wide Area Network). WAN covers a large geographical area, often spanning multiple cities or even countries. It connects multiple LANs (Local Area Networks) and MANs (Metropolitan Area Networks) together over a long distance through various communication channels like satellites, leased lines, or wireless links. In other words, WAN is like a superhighway that connects different LANs and MANs, allowing people and organizations from different parts of the world to communicate with each other. WANs are commonly used by large companies, governments, and universities for various purposes, such as sharing data, accessing remote resources, and connecting remote offices. On the other hand, LANs are used in small offices, homes, or buildings to connect devices within a small area, while MANs connect multiple LANs within a city or metropolitan area. PANs (Personal Area Networks) are even smaller networks used for personal devices like smartphones, laptops, and wearable devices, typically within a range of a few meters.
Question 5 Report
The computer memory is, measured in?
Answer Details
The computer memory is measured in "bytes". A byte is a unit of digital information that consists of eight bits. Each bit can represent either a 0 or a 1, and combinations of bits can be used to represent larger values, such as letters, numbers, and symbols. Computer memory, also known as RAM (Random Access Memory), is a type of volatile memory that is used to temporarily store data that the computer is currently processing. The amount of memory a computer has can affect its performance, as more memory allows the computer to store and process more data at once. Hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency, and nibble is a unit of measurement for data that consists of four bits. Therefore, neither of these units of measurement is used to measure computer memory. In summary, the computer memory is measured in bytes, which is a unit of digital information that consists of eight bits.

Question 15 Report
If the output signal of any logic gate is fed into an inverter, the results is? .
Answer Details
If the output signal of any logic gate is fed into an inverter, the result is the inverse of the output signal. An inverter is a logic gate that has one input and one output. It changes the logic state of the input signal to its complementary state at the output. If the input signal is a logic 1, the output signal is a logic 0, and if the input signal is a logic 0, the output signal is a logic 1. When the output signal of any logic gate is fed into an inverter, the logic state of the signal is inverted, which means that the output signal of the inverter will be the opposite of the output signal of the logic gate. Therefore, the result of feeding the output signal of any logic gate into an inverter is the inverse of the output signal.

A hub is a network device that connects multiple devices together to form a network, and it is responsible for transmitting data to all the devices connected to it. A modem is a device that connects a computer or network to the internet or other wide-area networks by converting digital signals into analog signals that can be transmitted over telephone lines or cable lines. A router is a network device that forwards data packets between computer networks, allowing devices on different networks to communicate with each other. It determines the best path for data transmission and ensures that data is sent to the correct destination. In summary, a port is not a network device, but a connection point on a network device that allows devices to communicate with each other.
Question 19 Report
In a network, the workstation is usually.connected to the?
Answer Details
In a network, a workstation is usually connected to a switch. A switch is a networking device that connects devices on a local area network (LAN) by using packet switching to forward and filter data to its destination. A switch is typically used to connect multiple devices together, such as computers, printers, and servers, in order to allow them to communicate with each other and share resources. When a workstation is connected to a switch, it can send and receive data to and from other devices on the same network. The switch helps to manage the flow of traffic on the network by directing data only to the intended recipient device, rather than broadcasting it to all devices on the network, which can reduce network congestion and improve performance. While a hub, modem, and router can also be used to connect devices to a network, a switch is the most common device used in modern networks due to its efficiency and ability to handle large amounts of network traffic. In summary, a workstation is usually connected to a switch in a network, which allows it to communicate with other devices on the same network and share resources.

Answer Details
The term "bus width" in data transfer refers to the number of wires in the bus that carry information to the processor at a time. In computing, a bus is a communication system that transfers data between different components inside a computer or between computers. The bus width determines how many bits of information can be transferred at once. It is usually measured in bits or bytes. For example, a computer with a 32-bit bus can transfer 32 bits of data at once. This means that it can transfer data faster than a computer with a 16-bit bus. Therefore, the correct option is "number of wires in the bus that carry information to the processor at a time".
Question 28 Report
Which of the following is the main advantage of intellectual property right?
Answer Details
The main advantage of intellectual property rights is the encouragement of innovations. Intellectual property rights grant legal protections and exclusive rights to the creators of new ideas, inventions, or artistic works, allowing them to profit from their creations and have control over their use. This encourages individuals and businesses to invest in research and development, as they know that they will have legal protection for their intellectual property, which can lead to the creation of new products and technologies that benefit society as a whole. Without intellectual property rights, there would be little incentive for individuals and businesses to invest in innovation, as they would not be able to reap the benefits of their creations.

A high level language can be converted to a machine language using?
Answer Details
A high level language can be converted to a machine language using a "compiler". A compiler is a software program that translates the code written in a high-level programming language such as Java, C++, or Python, into machine code that the computer can understand. The process of converting high-level code to machine code involves several steps, including lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantic analysis, code optimization, and code generation. The compiler takes the source code written in a high-level language and converts it into an executable program in machine code, which can be run on a computer. An editor is a software program used for creating and editing text files, but it does not have the capability to convert high-level code to machine code. A utility program is a general term used to describe any program that performs a specific task, but it is not specifically designed to convert high-level code to machine code. An operating system is the software that manages the hardware and software resources of a computer, but it does not perform the task of converting high-level code to machine code. In summary, a compiler is the software program that can convert high-level code to machine code, which is necessary for a computer to execute the program.

When browsing on the internet, a possible reason for. the message "page not found" is that?
Answer Details
A possible reason for the message "page not found" when browsing on the internet is that a connection between the client (the user's computer or device) and the server hosting the website has been lost. When a user types in a website address or clicks on a link, their web browser sends a request to the server hosting the website to send back the web page. If the server is not responding or there is a problem with the internet connection, the web browser may display a message such as "page not found" or "404 error". This can occur for a variety of reasons, including temporary internet connectivity issues, server downtime, or website maintenance. In some cases, the website may have been removed or the address may have been changed, resulting in the page no longer being available. In contrast, the weather conditions or speed of the web browser are not factors that typically affect the ability to access a web page. Multiple web pages loading at the same time may slow down the browsing experience, but it is unlikely to result in a "page not found" error. In summary, a possible reason for the message "page not found" when browsing on the internet is that a connection between the client and server has been lost or there is an issue with the server hosting the website.

Data loss in a computer cannot be prevented by the use of?
Answer Details
Data loss in a computer cannot be prevented by the use of a password. A password is a security measure that restricts access to a computer or its files, but it cannot prevent data loss due to hardware failure, software bugs, accidental deletion, or other factors that can corrupt or delete data. To prevent data loss, it is essential to have a backup system in place. A backup is a copy of important data that can be restored in case the original data is lost, damaged, or corrupted. A flash drive can be used as a backup storage device, but it is not a reliable backup solution as it can also fail or get lost. An antivirus program can protect a computer from viruses, malware, and other online threats, but it cannot prevent data loss due to hardware or software issues. Therefore, to prevent data loss, it is important to have a backup system in place and regularly back up important data.
