Which of the following options is specified by the X.25 packet-switching WAN standard?

  1. Synchronization of bits

  2. Congestion control

  3. Encoding scheme

  4. Interface between DTE and DCE

  5. Baud rate


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

X.25 defines a standard protocol for information exchange in packet mode between a DTE and a DCE (that is, between an individual user's equipment and the network provider's equipment).

Which of the following is a processor register that indicates where a computer is in its program sequence?

  1. Memory address register

  2. Program counter

  3. CPU Cache

  4. TLB

  5. Control unit

What type of data structure is a queue?

  1. LIFO linear data structure

  2. FIFO linear data structure

  3. LIFO non-linear data structure

  4. FIFO non-linear data structure

  5. GIGO non-linear data structure


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A queue is a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) data structure. In a FIFO data structure, the first element added to the queue will be the first one to be removed.. A queue is an example of a linear data structure, or more abstractly a sequential collection.

Which of the following data structures is used by the Breadth First Search algorithm to store intermediate results as it traverses the graph?

  1. Linked list

  2. Heap

  3. Queue

  4. Stack

  5. B-Tree


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Which of the following SQL commands can be used for inserting a new column into an existing table?

  1. Create table

  2. Insert

  3. Alter table

  4. Select

  5. Drop table


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This command is used for modifying the structure of an existing database. Changes like adding a new column, removing an existing column, changing the size of an existing column, etc. can be made by using this command.

Which of the following transformation processes moves all points of an object at a fixed distance in a specified direction?

  1. Visual

  2. Translation

  3. Scaling

  4. Rotation

  5. Shearing


Correct Option: B

What is the method of defining functions called, in which the function being defined is applied within its own definition?

  1. Macro

  2. Iteration

  3. Sub function

  4. Recursion

  5. Nested Function


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The most common application of recursion is in mathematics and computer science, in which it refers to a method of defining functions in which the function being defined is applied within its own definition. Specifically this defines an infinite number of instances (function values), using a finite expression that for some instances may refer to other instances, but in such a way that no loop or infinite chain of references can occur.

What is the OOP concept called, where different operators have different implementations depending on their arguments?

  1. Namespace

  2. Multiple inheritance

  3. Template

  4. Operator overloading

  5. Exception handling


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In object-oriented programming, operator overloading—less commonly known as operator ad-hoc polymorphism—is a specific case of polymorphism, where different operators have different implementations depending on their arguments. Operator overloading is generally defined by the language, the programmer, or both.

Abstract Window Toolkit is a part of which of the following programming languages?

  1. C

  2. C++

  3. Java

  4. FORTRAN

  5. LISP


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) is Java's original platform-independent windowing, graphics, and user-interface widget toolkit.
