1. Printer speed matters on how many characters it
can print in a minute or for faster printers, how
many pages it can print in a minute. Thus, b. PPM
(Page per Minute) is the correct answer.
2. Joysticks are cursor control devices like mouse that
are used in gaming. It sends instructions to the
computer so that user can instruct movements and
clicks on the screen. Thus, it is an input device.
3. The full form of CAD is computer aided design. It
is the use of computer systems to aid in the
creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of
a design. If you work in the architecture, MEP, or
structural engineering fields, you’ve probably used
2D or 3D CAD programs. These programs can help
you explore design ideas, visualize concepts
through photorealistic renderings, and simulate how
a design will perform in the real world. AutoCAD
software was the first CAD program, and it is still
the most widely used CAD application.
4. The ratio mentioning horizontal pixels by vertical
pixels such as 1024 x 800 is known as aspect ratio.
PPM – Page per minute, DPI – Dots per inch and
BIT – Binary digits are completely irrelevant to the
context. Thus, option a. Aspect Ratio is the correct
answer.
5. In ASCII table, the character ‘a’ is coded as 65.
Please refer to
http://www.theasciicode.com.ar/ascii-printable-
characters/capital-letter-a-uppercase-ascii-code-
65.html for complete ASCII codes.
6. Central Processing Unit comprises to the control
unit, arithmetic and logical unit and memory unit.
But the option c. Hard Disk is a secondary storage
device or the backup storage device. Thus it is not
within CPU in computer architecture.
7. Among the given options, DVD, Hard Disk, RAM
and Cache, the option d. Cache is the fastest
memory. DVD is the slowest and Hard Disks are
slower than RAM. Between RAM and Cache the
later is faster. RAM are not fast enough to cope up
the speed of processors. To meet the speed
requirement a small high speed memory is placed
in between RAM and Processor so that the RAM
and Cache combined can serve processor speed.
8. In one second there are 1000 milliseconds. So, in
10 seconds there are 10 x 1000 = 10000 milli-
seconds.
9. POST stands for Power on Self Test. POST is a
process in booting that checks every devices
connected to find if they are in working condition
or not. If it finds any device not working, it will
report the error; otherwise proceed to load system
files so that computer gets booted.
10. Usually bound transmission media are faster than
the unbound ones. Satellite is slower as it’s nature.
Microwave are faster than satellite connection but
can’t surpass the cables. Cat6 cables are much
faster and popular in local area networks. But
Optical fiber cables are the fastest as it uses the
light technology rather than electricity. In Fiber
Optics, the photons (light pulses) travel to represent
data while in others it is the electrons. As you know
light travels much faster than electricity.
11. IP Address in version 4 such as 192.168.32.15
comprises of 32 bits or 4 octets (each one separated
by a dot) which means 4 bytes. So option c. 4 Bytes
is correct answer.
12. Optical fiber contains a glass tube covered with
protective cover. Because the light pulses travel in
fiber optics, it is less prone to EMI (electro-
magnetic interference). Obviously it can transmit to
longer distance and can offer much more
bandwidth when compared with copper wires. But
the cable and other required equipments for fiber
optics are much more expensive. Thus, option c. is
correct answer for this question.
13. For Class C networks or Class 3 networks first 3
octets (first 24 bits) are allocated to represent
network while the last octet represents the host (PC
or network device). Thus the default subnet mask
for class 3 network is 255.255.255.0
Subnet mask 255.0.0.0 is for class A network
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 is for Class B network
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is for class C network
14. In DOS we use ‘copy’ command to copy files.
Type command is used to display the contents of a
file. REN command changes the name of file
(rename). DISKCOPY is to copy entire disks and
create a duplicate disk.
15. Copying hidden system files to another disk means
we need to create a boot disk or we need to transfer
system files to the new disk and for that the
command required is SYS. Thus option b. sys is the
correct answer. COPY command is to copy files
not the hidden system files. REN command is the
rename a file. DISKCOPY is to create the duplicate
disk. Diskcopy will copy everything not only the
hidden system files.
16. Because we require to delete the directory, option
b. Del and option e. Erase are invalid. The option c.
Deltree has /f option with it which is to delete files.
Thus option a. Deltree is correct answer.
17. The given option a. FDISK is used to partition
disks not to check and fix errors. We don’t have
any command like FIXDISK as in option d.
Between option b. CHECKDISK and option c.
SCANDISK, I’ll choose SCANDISK as correct
 answer. Though newer version of Windows
supports chkdsk command and they are much
improved but the question contains scandisk as an
option so, it’s an old question.
18. There is no file in DOS named run.bat and
config.bat. So option a & b are invalid. Config.sys
file contains the configuration details that are
loaded after the booting. Autoexec.bat is a program
file in DOS that runs automatically when computer
is booted. Thus option d. Autoexec.bat is the
correct answer.
19. Undelete/all is the command that lists all files that
are deleted. Option ‘a’ and option ‘c’ will try to
recover all the files.
20. Macros are the small programs in Office
applications to automate repeating tasks. Templates
are stored content and formats so that you can
create frequently required objects quickly. Mail
Merge is the process of merging the data source
with main document so that you can send same
letter to multiple recipients at once. Thus, option b.
mail merge is the correct answer.
21. Superscript is not font style. It is font effect.
Regular, Bold and Italics are the font styles.
22. Page Setup dialog box contains options for
changing margins. Thus Option ‘c’ is the correct
answer.
23. In MS Word, Ctrl+F9 is used to insert field code.
Alt+F9 toggles the field code or field value. F9 key
updates the fields. Shift+F9 display the field code
of selected field only. So, option a. Alt+F9 is the
correct answer.
24. Tab stop buttons are on the left of horizontal ruler.
Split buttons are on the top of vertical scroll bar and
to the right of horizontal scroll bar. View buttons
are to the left of horizontal scroll bar and Indicators
are on the status bar. So, option c. View buttons is
the correct answer.
25. Go to Format » Dropcap menu and in the Dropcap
dialog box choose Dropped preset then increase the
‘lines to drop’ spinner box. The maximum number
you can select there is 10. Thus option b. 10 is the
correct answer.
26. Ctrl + H displays the find and replace dialog box.
Ctrl +F is for Find. Ctrl + R aligns paragraph to the
right. Ctrl+Shift+F opens Fonts dialog box. So,
option c. Ctrl+H is the correct answer.
27. You can select the character and then press
Ctrl+Shift+= to superscript it. So option b. is the
correct answer.
28. By default MS Word has 1 inch top margin, 1 inch
bottom margin and portrait in orientation. Thus all
of above is the correct answer.
29. F7 key is used to check spelling errors. Alt +F7
opens spelling & grammar context menu. Shift+F7
opens thesaurus. Thus option a. F7 is the correct
answer.
30. Gutter margin is the extra space specified for
binding purpose. It can be on the left, right, top or
bottom depending upon the orientation and whether
single or both face printing. So, for easy
understanding, gutter is margin that is added to the
binding side of a page when printing.
31. Normal, Expanded and Condensed are the options
available for character spacing in Font dialog box.
So option c. Loosely is not available.
32. Columns are generally of two types, newspaper
style and parallel. For parallel style columns we can
use Table in MS Word. And for newspaper style
column we have Columns command. So option ‘b’
is correct for this question.
33. If both the column name and row number of a cell
reference are fixed, it is known as absolute
reference. To indicate the column name or row
number can’t change, we use $ symbol before the
name or number. For example $A$1. So it is option
‘a’ correct!
34. Accessing is acquiring reach up to the required
place. Referencing means point to some object in
another place (you know cell references, don’t
you?). Updating is to change value to reflect
present context. Functioning probably means
operating. Among the given options b. Referencing
is the correct answer.
35. Though the number of available rows in 2007 and
later are increased significantly, however, in Excel
2003, we have only 65636 (it’s a special number
isn’t it? Do you know why 2^16 is special?)
36. Array formula allows you to perform multiple
calculations in a single cell. So option c. Array
Formula is the correct answer.
37. Simply dragging can select adjacent cells in Excel.
But if you need to select multiple non-adjecent
cells, you can hold CTRL key and click/drag the
required cells.
38. In excel we have =COUNTIF() function that counts
based on condition specified. Thus, option ‘a’ is the
correct answer.
39. You can create a chart in separate sheet known as
chart sheets. However if you prefer to embed the
chart in worksheet itself, you can use embedded
chart.
40. In Excel we have Conditional functions (IF,
COUNTIF etc.), Statistical Functions (MAX, MIN,
AVEREAGE etc.), Financial Functions (PV, FV,
PMT etc.) but there’s no Graphical functions. So,
option ‘c’ is correct answer.
41. MID() is a text function that extracts from specified
character position (first argument) the specified
number of characters (the second argument). So in
 question =mid(“regression”,3,2), it needs to extract 3. Background color or effects applied on a document is not
2 characters from 3rd Thus the result will be ‘gr’ visible in
42. Data validation is the technique that defines a set of
values acceptable for the field. Verification is to a. Web layout view
check whether the given data is suitable or not. b. Print layout view
Acceptance is to receive given data. Setting is the c. Reading view
configuration values. So, option ‘c’ is correct d. Print preview
answer.
43. Values in Primary key field must be unique. Thus, 4. End key in word document
obviously option ‘b’ is correct answer.
44. Selecting simply means select the cells to perform
some action. Filtering is to display only those a. moves the cursor at the end of the linke
records that meet the specified criteria. Separating b. moves the cursor end of the paragraph
and Differentiating is not any technical term in c. moves the cursor end of the document
spreadsheet calculation. d. none of above
