Q1Consider the following statements about web browsers. Statement 1: A web browser is used to access and display web pages. Statement 2: Pressing F5 in most browsers refreshes the currently opened web page. Statement 3: A web browser directly assigns IP addresses to all computers on the Internet. Which of the statements given above are correct?
A browser such as Chrome, Edge or Firefox is client software used to request, receive and display web pages. So Statement 1 is correct. F5 is the standard refresh key in mainstream browsers, so Statement 2 is also correct. Statement 3 adds an unrelated networking function. IP addresses are assigned through network configuration and services such as DHCP, not by the browser. Therefore, only Statements 1 and 2 are correct.
Q2Which statement correctly distinguishes the Internet from the World Wide Web?
The Internet is the underlying global network that connects computers, servers and smaller networks. The World Wide Web is not the whole Internet; it is a service that uses the Internet to access interlinked web pages through browsers. The stem asks for a distinction, so the correct option must keep the larger network and the web-page system separate. Email, file transfer and other services can also use the Internet. Hence option B states the standard relationship accurately.
Q3Assertion (A): A website address beginning with HTTPS is generally safer for sending login details than the same site over plain HTTP. Reason (R): HTTPS uses encryption to help protect data exchanged between the browser and the web server. Choose the correct answer.
The assertion is about safety while sending login details. HTTPS means that HTTP is being used with a security layer that encrypts the communication between the browser and the web server. This does not guarantee that every website is honest, but it does protect data in transit better than plain HTTP. The reason states exactly this encryption point, so both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
Q4Match List I with List II. List I: I. DNS II. Browser III. Hyperlink IV. Search engine List II: 1. Opens and displays web pages 2. Converts domain names into IP addresses 3. A clickable link to another resource 4. Finds web pages using keywords
DNS stands for Domain Name System and translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses used by computers. A browser such as Chrome or Edge opens and displays web pages. A hyperlink is a clickable connection that takes the user to another page, file or resource. A search engine finds web pages after the user enters keywords. Matching these functions gives I-2, II-1, III-3 and IV-4. This is why option A is the only fully correct sequence.
Q5Match List I with List II. List I: I. Web browser II. Search engine III. Internet service provider IV. IP address List II: 1. Helps users find information on the Web 2. Displays web pages to the user 3. Provides Internet connectivity to customers 4. Numeric address used to identify a device on a network Choose the correct code.
A web browser, such as Chrome or Edge, is used to display web pages. A search engine helps users search for information available on the Web. An Internet service provider supplies Internet connectivity to customers through broadband, fibre, mobile data, or similar services. An IP address is the numeric address used to identify a device on a network. Therefore the correct matching is I-2, II-1, III-3 and IV-4.
