traditional blog a blogger will write his or her comments
about a given topic and other users may view and sometimes
comment on the bloggers work. A reverse blog is written
entirely by the users, who are given a topic. The blog posts are
usually screened and chosen for publication by a core group
or the publisher of the blog.

17. Identify which statements is INCORRECT about
EPROM?
(A) EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory.
(B) It is volatile in nature.
(C) It comes in several sizes and storage capacities.

it.
Ans: (B)
Explanation: EPROM (erasable programmable read-only
memory) is programmable read-only memory (programmable
ROM) that can be erased and re-used. Erasure is caused by
shining an intense ultraviolet light through a window that is
designed into the memory chip. (Although ordinary room
lighting does not contain enough ultraviolet light to cause
erasure, bright sunlight can cause erasure. For this reason, the
window is usually covered with a label when not installed in
the computer.

converts it into decimal form for the end users.

15
 (A) Only Statement 1
(B) Only Statement 2
(C) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2
(D) Neither Statement 1 nor Statement 2
Ans: A)
Explanation: An input device sends information to a computer
system for processing, and an output device reproduces or
displays the results of that processing. Input devices only
allow for input of data to a computer and output devices only
receive the output of data from another device.

24. Identify the following: -- It is used as main memory in

personal computers.
-- Inside its chip, each memory holds one bit of information.
-- It is made up of two parts, a transistor and a capacitor.
(A) Audio RAM (B) Static RAM
(C) Video RAM (D) Dynamic RAM
Ans: (D)
Explanation: Dynamic RAM is the most common type of
memory in use today. Inside a dynamic RAM chip, each
memory cell holds one bit of information and is made up of

16
two parts: a transistor and a capacitor. These are, of course,
extremely small transistors and capacitors so that millions of
them can fit on a single memory chip. The capacitor holds the
bit of information -- a 0 or a 1 (see How Bits and Bytes Work
for information on bits). The transistor acts as a switch that
lets the control circuitry on the memory chip read the
capacitor or change its state.

understandable by computer CPU and does not need a
translator program.

(A) High level language

(B) Fourth generation language

(C) Machine language

(D) Assembly language

Ans: (C)
Explanation: Human being can speak many languages but
computer only know machine language i.e. the language of 0
or 1 so to communicate with computer there is High level
language which is used as translator.

26. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of second
generation computers over first generation computers?
(A) No need of AC (B) More faster
(C) Generated less-heat (D) More reliable
Ans: (A)
Explanation: Second generation (1956 - 1963)
The second generation of computers saw the use
of transistors instead of vacuum tubes. Transistors were
widely used in computers from 1956 to 1963. Transistors
were smaller than vacuum tubes and allowed computers to be
smaller in size, faster in speed, and cheaper to build.
The first computer to use transistors was the TX-0 and was
introduced in 1956.

one place to another.
(D) All are correct
Ans: (C)
Explanation: A solar charger is a charger that employs solar
energy to supply electricity to devices or batteries. They are
generally portable.
Solar chargers can charge lead acid or Ni-Cd battery banks up
to 48 V and hundreds of ampere-hours (up to 4000 Ah)
capacity. Such type of solar charger setups generally use an
intelligent charge controller. A series of solar cells are
installed in a stationary location (ie: rooftops of homes, base
station locations on the ground etc.) and can be connected to a
battery bank to store energy for off-peak usage. They can also
be used in addition to mains-supply chargers for energy
saving during the daytime.

pattern recognition or sensors.
(B) A device based on human machine interface mechanism
that work only when the authorized user places its palm on it.
(C) A measurement used to give rating to biometric devices.
(D) Both (A) and (B)
Ans: (A).
Explanation: An electronic nose is a device intended to detect
odors or flavors.
Over the last decades, "electronic sensing" or "e-sensing"
technologies have undergone important developments from a
technical and commercial point of view. The expression
"electronic sensing" refers to the capability of reproducing
human senses using sensor arrays and pattern
recognition systems. Since 1982,[2] research has been
conducted to develop technologies, commonly referred to as
electronic noses, that could detect and recognize odors and
flavors.
