Question 1.

A package which can be downloaded via the Internet for testing purposes before buying is called

  1.    beta software
  2.    shareware
  3.    pirated software
  4.    backup copy
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> beta software
Beta software refers to a version of a software program that is made available to the public for testing purposes before its official release. The purpose of releasing beta software is to gather feedback from users and fix any bugs or issues before the official release. Beta software is usually free to download and use, but it may have some limitations or restrictions compared to the final version.
Here are some key points to explain the concept of beta software:
  • Development stage: Beta software is in the development stage and may not have all the features or functionality of the final version. It is not intended for general use but rather for testing and feedback.
  • Testing purposes: The main purpose of releasing beta software is to test it for bugs, compatibility, and usability issues. Users who try beta software can report any issues or suggestions for improvement to the software developer.
  • Feedback: By providing feedback, beta testers can help improve the final version of the software. Their feedback can influence the direction of the software's development and help ensure that the final product meets the needs and expectations of the users.
  • Limitations: Beta software may have limitations or restrictions compared to the final version, such as limited functionality or time restrictions. In some cases, beta software may also have bugs or other issues that can cause it to crash or malfunction.
  • Availability: Beta software is usually available for download via the Internet, making it accessible to a large number of users for testing.

In conclusion, beta software is a package that can be downloaded via the Internet for testing purposes before buying. The main purpose of beta software is to gather feedback from users and fix any bugs or issues before the official release of the software.

Question 8. Different computers are connected to a LAN by a cable and a/an
  1.    modem
  2.    interface card
  3.    special wires
  4.    telephone lines
  5.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> interface card
Question 9. The Token-Ring architecture was developed for a more efficient way to determine who should be transmitting at any one time. With Ethernet, collisions may take place, causing the transmitting computers to have to retransmit their data. The use of token guarantees that only one computer can transmit at a time. What happens as the network increases in size? Choose the best answer
  1.    An additional token is added for every 1,000 nodes
  2.    The speed of the Token-Ring network must be 16Mbps if the number of nodes is greater then 500
  3.    The network becomes less efficient
  4.    After the number of nodes exceeds 550, the Multistation Access Unit must be replaced by the more powerful Hyperstation Unified Bandwidth device
  5.    The network becomes more efficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> The network becomes more efficient
Question 10. A characteristic of a multiprogramming system is:
  1.    simultaneous execution of program instructions from two applications
  2.    concurrent processing of two or more programs
  3.    multiple CPUs
  4.    All the above
  5.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> concurrent processing of two or more programs
