Q1Which statement best captures the relationship between the Internet and the World Wide Web?
There is a clear exam distinction: the Internet is the wider global network infrastructure, while the World Wide Web is only one service using it. Websites and web pages are accessed mainly through browsers using HTTP or HTTPS, but the same Internet also carries email, cloud storage, file transfer, video meetings, messaging and digital payments. Therefore, the statement that the Web is a service running on the wider Internet infrastructure is correct exactly.
Q2Read the Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Assertion (A): Rajasthan SSO reduces the need to create a separate username and password for each linked government service. Reason (R): In SSO, one authenticated user account can access many linked services through a common login layer. Choose the correct answer.
The SSO section says Single Sign-On means one authenticated user account can access many linked services without creating a separate username and password for each portal. Rajasthan SSO is described as a common login layer for multiple state government services, including recruitment-related and e-Mitra-linked access. This directly explains why separate credentials are reduced: the user proves identity once to the SSO system and connected services rely on that authentication according to their rules.
Q3Match the protocol or technology in List I with its use in List II. List I: 1. HTTPS 2. SMTP 3. POP3/IMAP 4. FTP List II: a. Receives or synchronises email b. Transfers files c. Transfers web pages with encryption d. Sends email Choose the correct code.
There is a direct protocol-use chain. HTTPS is the secure web-page transfer method because it uses encryption between browser and server. SMTP sends email from the sender's side to the mail system. POP3 and IMAP receive or synchronise email on a user's device, with IMAP useful when the same mailbox is used on more than one device. FTP is used for file transfer. Matching these stated uses gives HTTPS with encrypted web pages, SMTP with sending email, POP3/IMAP with receiving email, and FTP with file transfer.
Q4Match List I with List II. List I: 1. Router 2. Switch 3. Firewall 4. DNS List II: a. Filters traffic according to security rules b. Converts domain names into IP addresses c. Forwards data between networks d. Connects devices inside a LAN efficiently
The role of each item is defined by function. A router forwards data between networks, while a switch connects devices inside a LAN more efficiently by directing frames to the correct device. A firewall filters traffic according to security rules. DNS is not a filtering device; it maps readable domain names to IP addresses. The matching that pairs router with inter-network forwarding, switch with LAN connection, firewall with traffic filtering and DNS with name-to-address conversion is therefore the only complete match.
Q5Which statement best separates the Internet from the World Wide Web?
The Internet is a worldwide network infrastructure using common standards, while the World Wide Web is only one Internet service. Websites and web pages accessed through browsers belong to the Web. The same Internet also carries email, file transfer, cloud storage, video meetings, digital payments and e-governance services. Therefore, the statement that treats the Internet as the broader infrastructure and the Web as one service built on it captures the exact distinction.
