Which of the following cables is based on the total internal reflection?

  1. Twisted pair

  2. Fiber optic

  3. Coaxial cable

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Fiber optic is based on the principle of total internal reflection.

Which topology provides a common path to share by all the users?

  1. STAR

  2. HUB

  3. BUS

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

BUS topology provides a common path shared by many users.

Total connection between path sender and receiver information is also called _________.

  1. BUS

  2. NIC

  3. Circuit

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Total connection between path sender and receiver information is also called CIRCUIT.

Which layers of the OSI model are implemented in MAN?

  1. Bottom two layers

  2. Only physical layer

  3. Bottom three layers

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bottom three layers of OSI model are implemented by MAN. MAN size is greater than LAN so bottom three layers have the capabilities of proper delivery of packets.

Which of the following techniques is used to remove redundancy from continuous signals?

  1. Sampling

  2. Paging

  3. Both (1) and (2)

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sampling technique is used to remove redundancy from continuous signals and the amplitude signal is measured at equal intervals to generate a series of discrete pulses.

Which of the following is not a type of transmission?

  1. Full - Duplex

  2. Half - Duplex

  3. Simple - Duplex

  4. Routing - Duplex


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is not a type of transmission.

Why does satellite communication, facing a problem of propagation, delay?

  1. Due to weak signals

  2. Due to long distance travelled by signals

  3. Due to traffic

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Satellite communication suffers from propagation delays due to large distance travelled by signals.

Which term do we use when transmission occurs between computer and keyboard?

  1. Full Duplex

  2. Simplex

  3. Half Duplex

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In above condition only simplex is involved, i.e. only in one direction.

  1. Huge delay in propagation

  2. Lot of congestion

  3. Loss of packet

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Satellite communication suffers from propagation delay due to large distance travelled by the signals.

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

'M bit in a X.25 standard is set to 1' means there is more than one packet.

Which of the following channels in ISDN has the lowest data rate?

  1. V

  2. D

  3. B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

D channel is the lowest data rate because it is used for signaling with 16 kbps.
