Computer Hardware Devices Questions
A
Correct answer
Explanation
A printer is the output device that produces paper copies of digital documents. The CPU processes data, a mouse is for input, and a DVD is for storage.
-
Desktop computer.
-
Laptop computer
-
An analogue computer
-
A mainframe computer
B
Correct answer
Explanation
A laptop computer is portable and designed for mobile use, making it ideal for sales representatives who work away from the office. Desktop computers are not portable, mainframes are for enterprise use, and analogue computers are specialized.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
When a user enters touch mode (by touching the screen), any currently focused widget loses focus. In touch mode, widgets don't maintain focus states since touch interaction doesn't use focus navigation like keyboard or trackball input. The focus system is primarily for non-touch input methods.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Touch mode in Android means the interface is being controlled via touch input rather than a keyboard/trackball. In touch mode, widgets like buttons don't show focus indicators because users tap directly on items rather than navigating to them.
-
BLUETOOTH_READ
-
BLUETOOTH_ADMIN
-
BLUETOOTH_WRITE
-
None of above
B
Correct answer
Explanation
BLUETOOTH_ADMIN is the required second permission for advanced Bluetooth operations like device discovery and modifying Bluetooth settings. BLUETOOTH alone only permits basic Bluetooth connections without these administrative capabilities.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Output devices are those that let the computer communicate information TO you, such as monitors, printers, and speakers. They display or present processed information from the computer to the user.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Input devices allow users to enter or put information INTO the computer. Examples include keyboards, mice, scanners, and microphones, all of which send data to the computer for processing.
-
COPY
-
EYES
-
SCANNER
-
DOWNLOAD
C
Correct answer
Explanation
A scanner is an input device that optically captures text, images, or bar codes and converts them into digital format for computer processing. Unlike eyes which are biological, or copy/download which are operations, a scanner physically reads documents into the computer.
-
RAM
-
PRINTER
-
KEYBOARD
-
MONITER
-
Sensitive
-
Forward
-
Fetch
-
Position
D
Correct answer
Explanation
In Sybase cursor declarations, valid keywords and attributes include SENSITIVE (for sensitive cursors that reflect changes), FORWARD (for forward-only cursors), and FETCH (the operation to retrieve rows). 'Position' is not a cursor keyword or attribute - while you can fetch at specific positions, there is no 'POSITION' keyword in cursor syntax. Cursors have attributes like SCROLL, INSENSITIVE, and FORWARD_ONLY.

Output
-
Input/Output
-
Variable
-
All the above
A,B,C,D
Correct answer
Explanation
Informatica transformations have five port types: Input (receive data), Output (pass transformed data), Input/Output (pass through unchanged), Variable (internal temporary storage), and group ports (for aggregator/normalizer). The question lists the four main port types.
-
It provides format independence
-
It is used to create screen maps
-
It provides device independence
-
It is an assembler program that formats terminal screens.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
BMS (Basic Mapping Support) is a CICS component for device-independent screen definition, not an assembler program. BMS provides format independence (maps separate from logic) and device independence (same map works for different terminals). Option D incorrectly states BMS is an assembler program - it's actually an interpreter within CICS that processes BMS maps.
-
Peripheral
-
Clip art
-
Highlight
-
Execute
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Peripherals are auxiliary devices that connect to and work with a computer but are not part of the core computer system. Examples include printers, scanners, external drives, keyboards, mice, and monitors - often added to expand functionality.
-
FastEthernet Measuring Device
-
Flashing Media Diode
-
Fluorescent Multi-Layer Disc
-
Flash Media Driver
C
Correct answer
Explanation
FMD stands for Fluorescent Multi-Layer Disc, an optical disc format developed by Constellation 3D that used fluorescent materials to store data in multiple layers, theoretically offering much higher capacity than DVDs or CDs, though it never achieved commercial success.
-
Cathode RGB Tube
-
Cathode Ray Tube
-
Cathode Random Tube
-
Cathode Read Tube
B
Correct answer
Explanation
CRT stands for 'Cathode Ray Tube,' the technology used in traditional computer monitors and televisions before LCD/LED screens became common. The term 'Ray' is correct - it refers to the ray of electrons that scans across the screen. 'RGB', 'Random', and 'Read' are incorrect expansions.
