Technology – MCQ – GK Questions

Q: Which physical system is commonly used for implementing qubits in quantum computers?

All of these – Leading qubit implementations: superconducting (IBM, Google), trapped ions (IonQ), photonic (Xanadu). Each has trade-offs in coherence, scalability, error rates.

Q: Which regulation requires data breach notification within 72 hours in the EU?

GDPR – GDPR Article 33 requires breach notification to supervisory authority within 72 hours of awareness. Critical for incident response compliance.

Q: Which attack manipulates training data to cause targeted misclassifications during inference?

Both A and B – Data poisoning injects malicious samples; backdoor attacks embed triggers that activate misclassification. Both compromise model integrity during training.

Q: Which Kubernetes security feature restricts pod capabilities to prevent privilege escalation?

Both A and B – Security Context defines pod/container privileges; Pod Security Standards enforce baseline/restricted policies. Both critical for container security.

Q: Which technology enables continuous authentication by analyzing user behavior patterns?

Both A and B – Behavioral biometrics analyzes typing, mouse movements; adaptive authentication adjusts requirements based on risk. Both enable continuous verification in Zero Trust.

Q: Which Indian initiative aims to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030?

Panchamrit Strategy – Panchamrit (five nectars) announced at COP26 includes: 500 GW non-fossil capacity, 50% energy from renewables, 1 billion tonne CO2 reduction, net-zero by 2070.

Q: Which brain-inspired feature enables neuromorphic chips to achieve ultra-low power consumption?

Both A and B – Neuromorphic chips use spiking neurons that fire only when needed, and event-driven computation that processes only changes. Critical for edge AI with tight power budgets.

Q: Which quantum algorithm provides exponential speedup for factoring large integers?

Shor's Algorithm – Shor's Algorithm factors integers in polynomial time on quantum computers, threatening RSA encryption. Requires fault-tolerant quantum computers not yet available at scale.

Q: Which regulation requires explicit consent for processing sensitive personal data in the EU?

Both A and B – GDPR requires explicit consent for special category data; ePrivacy Directive covers electronic communications. Both emphasize user control and transparency in data processing.

Q: Which defense technique trains ML models with adversarial examples to improve robustness?

All of these – Adversarial defenses: adversarial training includes perturbed examples, defensive distillation smooths outputs, randomized smoothing adds noise. All improve robustness against adversarial attacks.
