Correct Option: C

…is the first program run on a computer when the computer boots up

  1. System software

  2. Operating system

  3. System operations

  4. None


Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the sequence of events that occur when a computer boots up.

Option A) System software - This option is incorrect because system software refers to a collection of software programs that manage and control the computer's hardware resources. System software is not the first program run on a computer during boot-up.

Option B) Operating system - This option is correct because the operating system is the first program that is loaded into the computer's memory when the computer boots up. The operating system controls the computer's hardware and provides a platform for other software programs to run.

Option C) System operations - This option is incorrect because "system operations" is not a commonly used term and does not accurately describe the first program run on a computer during boot-up.

Option D) None - This option is incorrect because there is always a program that runs first when a computer boots up, and that program is the operating system.

The correct answer is B) Operating system. This option is correct because the operating system is the first program run on a computer when it boots up.

….share characteristics with both hardware and software

  1. Operating System

  2. Hardware

  3. Data

  4. Software


Correct Option: A

….is used in operating system to separate mechanism from policy

  1. Single level implementation

  2. Two level implementation

  3. Multi level implementation

  4. None


Correct Option: B

The operating system creates …. from the physical computer

  1. Virtual space

  2. Virtual computers

  3. Virtual device

  4. None


Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of virtualization in operating systems.

Option A) Virtual space - This option is incorrect because the operating system does not create virtual space from the physical computer. Virtual space typically refers to the allocation of memory to processes in order to create the illusion of having more memory than physically available.

Option B) Virtual computers - This option is correct because the operating system creates virtual computers, also known as virtual machines (VMs), from the physical computer. A virtual machine is a software emulation of a physical computer, which allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine.

Option C) Virtual device - This option is incorrect because although the operating system can create virtual devices, such as virtual network adapters or virtual disk drives, these are not created from the physical computer itself.

Option D) None - This option is incorrect because the operating system does create virtual computers from the physical computer.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) Virtual computers. This option is correct because the operating system creates virtual machines from the physical computer.

Swapping

  1. Works best with many small partitions

  2. Allows many programs to use memory simultaneously

  3. Allows each program in turn to use the memory

  4. Does not work with overlaying


Correct Option: C

Which of the following operating does not implement multitasking truly?

  1. Windows 98

  2. Windows XP

Where do you find user.dat?

  1. C:\windows

  2. C:\windows\system32

  3. C:\windows\system

  4. C:\


Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to have knowledge about the location of the "user.dat" file.

Option A) C:\windows - This option is the correct answer. The "user.dat" file is typically found in the C:\windows directory.

Option B) C:\windows\system32 - This option is incorrect because the "user.dat" file is not usually located in the system32 subdirectory.

Option C) C:\windows\system - This option is incorrect because the "user.dat" file is not typically found in the system subdirectory.

Option D) C:\ - This option is incorrect because the "user.dat" file is not usually located in the root directory (C:).

The correct answer is A) C:\windows. This option is correct because the "user.dat" file is typically found in the C:\windows directory.

MSD.exe does not have information on:

  1. Cache

  2. Video

  3. Operating System

  4. Com or port


Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand what MSD.exe is and what type of information it provides.

MSD.exe is a command-line tool in Windows that stands for Microsoft System Diagnostics. It provides detailed information about the hardware and software configuration of a computer system. When you run MSD.exe, it generates a report that includes information about various system components.

Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Cache - This option is correct because MSD.exe does not provide information specifically about the cache. The cache is a hardware component that temporarily stores data to improve system performance. While MSD.exe provides information about other hardware components like the CPU, memory, and storage, it does not include details about the cache.

Option B) Video - This option is incorrect because MSD.exe does provide information about the video or graphics card. The report generated by MSD.exe includes details about the installed video card, display resolution, and other video-related information.

Option C) Operating System - This option is incorrect because MSD.exe does provide information about the operating system. The report generated by MSD.exe includes details about the installed version of Windows, system files, and other operating system-related information.

Option D) COM or Port - This option is incorrect because MSD.exe does provide information about COM ports. The report generated by MSD.exe includes details about the available COM ports on the system and their configurations.

Therefore, the correct answer is A) Cache. MSD.exe does not have information on the cache.
