Validation of programs is used to check that data is

  1. In right format

  2. Of right type

  3. Within possible value ranges

  4. All of above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data validation is a process of ensuring data have undergone data cleansing to ensure they have data quality i.e they are both correct and useful. Apart from data cleansing the data must be within possible value range that ensures smooth and effective functioning of the space satellite. Hence all the three option are correct.

Why would a switch be used in a network in preference to a HUB ?

  1. To reduce the network traffic

  2. To prevent the spread of all viruses

  3. To connect a computer directly to the internet

  4. To manage password security at the work station


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A switch can be used in a network in preference to HUB because a switch helps far better than a HUB to reduce the network traffic.
