Practice questions

Q1Match the file-system term with its correct meaning.

A File - storage volume; folder - file type suffix; path - named data
B File - named data; folder - organizes files; path - location
C Drive - file type suffix; extension - storage volume; folder - location
D Extension - command input; file - output screen; path - printer setting
Explanation

A file is named data, a folder or directory organizes files, and a path gives the location of a file or folder. A drive is a storage volume, and an extension such as .pdf or .jpg indicates file type, so options that interchange these terms fail.

Q2Which set contains only secondary storage devices?

A HDD, SSD, USB pen drive, memory card
B RAM, keyboard, SSD, monitor
C ROM, mouse, CD, speaker
D Scanner, microphone, DVD, printer
Explanation

Secondary storage is non-volatile long-term storage such as HDDs, SSDs, USB pen drives, memory cards, and optical discs. RAM and ROM are primary memory, while keyboard, mouse, scanner, microphone, monitor, printer, and speaker belong to input or output device categories.

Q3What does automatic operation mean in a computer?

A A user must type every instruction continuously until the job ends.
B The computer works only when no program is loaded.
C After the program and data are loaded and the job starts, the computer follows stored instructions without continuous human intervention.
D The operating system is removed so hardware can run alone.
Explanation

Automatic operation means the computer follows stored instructions after the program and data are loaded and the job is started. It does not mean constant typing by the user, working without a program, or removing the operating system.

Q4Which statement correctly describes RAM in a computer?

A It is volatile primary working memory used for active programs and data.
B It is secondary storage used for long-term retention.
C It stores BIOS startup instructions permanently.
D It keeps contents unchanged after power is switched off.
Explanation

RAM is volatile primary working memory, so it holds active programs and data only while power is available. Calling it secondary storage is wrong because long-term non-volatile retention belongs to HDDs, SSDs, pen drives, memory cards, and optical discs; firmware or startup instructions belong to ROM.

Q5Arrange these terminal types from least to most local processing capability: dumb terminal, smart terminal, intelligent terminal.

A Smart terminal, dumb terminal, intelligent terminal
B Intelligent terminal, smart terminal, dumb terminal
C Dumb terminal, intelligent terminal, smart terminal
D Dumb terminal, smart terminal, intelligent terminal
Explanation

Terminal classification here is based on local processing capability. A dumb terminal has zero local processing, a smart terminal has some local processing, and an intelligent terminal has full local processing.
