The rainbow-colored apple with a bite (often thought of as the 'original') was actually created later in 1977 by Rob Janoff.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The Nokia 9000 Communicator, released in 1996, was indeed the first widely available mobile phone with internet capabilities, not a Samsung model. The Nokia 9000 featured email, fax, and web browsing functionality through its integrated modem and keyboard. Samsung's early internet-capable phones came later, making the 'almost fiction' option correct about both the year and the actual manufacturer.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Intel is the world's largest semiconductor chip manufacturer by revenue, producing microprocessors, chipsets, and other integrated circuits. While Apple designs chips for their products, they don't manufacture at Intel's scale. IBM exited the semiconductor manufacturing business, and Dell doesn't manufacture chips - they use Intel and AMD processors in their computers. The question tests knowledge of the semiconductor industry landscape.

Multiple choice general knowledge
  1. Prasad Jain

  2. Jug Suraiya

  3. Steve Jobs

  4. Sepoy Mutiny

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Steve Jobs co-founded Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) with Steve Wozniak in 1976. While the iPad was introduced in 2010 during Jobs' second tenure as CEO, he was the driving force behind Apple's product vision including the iPad development. The question phrasing is slightly imprecise as Jobs co-founded Apple, not specifically the iPad, but among the options, Steve Jobs is the only person connected to Apple's product development. The other options are unrelated - Prasad Jain and Jug Suraiya are Indian journalists, and 'Sepoy Mutiny' refers to the 1857 rebellion.
