The protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network is called ________.
Answer: DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses, subnet masks, gateway, and DNS settings to devices joining a network. Eliminates manual configuration errors and simplifies network management. Uses DORA process: Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge.
Which feature allows UPI users to link multiple bank accounts to a single VPA?
- UPI Lite
- Multi-Bank VPA
- Account Aggregator
- Not supported
Answer: Multi-Bank VPA
UPI allows linking multiple bank accounts to one Virtual Payment Address (VPA). Users can select default account or choose at transaction time. Simplifies management, enables fund routing flexibility, and maintains single identity across banks. Managed securely via NPCI's central switch.
Using public Wi-Fi without a VPN exposes your data to potential eavesdropping.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Public Wi-Fi networks often lack encryption, allowing attackers on same network to intercept unencrypted traffic (HTTP, emails, credentials). VPN creates encrypted tunnel protecting data in transit. Best practice: avoid sensitive transactions on public Wi-Fi, use HTTPS, enable firewall, and connect via VPN.
Which key is used to toggle between uppercase and lowercase typing?
- Shift
- Caps Lock
- Ctrl
- Alt
Answer: Caps Lock
Caps Lock toggles alphabetic keys to produce uppercase letters without holding Shift. Shift produces uppercase only while pressed. Caps Lock indicator (LED) shows active state. Useful for typing headings or acronyms; accidental activation is a common user frustration.
The technology that uses light pulses to transmit data through thin glass fibers is called ________ Communication.
Answer: Optical Fiber
Optical Fiber Communication transmits data as light pulses through glass/plastic fibers, offering high bandwidth, low attenuation, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Backbone of modern internet, undersea cables, and BharatNet. Enables high-speed broadband, 5G backhaul, and data center interconnects.
Aadhaar-based e-KYC eliminates the need for physical document verification in many services.
- True
- False
Answer: True
e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) uses Aadhaar authentication to verify identity digitally, reducing paperwork and processing time. Enabled for banking, telecom, pensions, and subsidies. Consent-based and secure, with audit trails. Supreme Court guidelines ensure privacy and purpose limitation.
Which SQL keyword is used to combine rows from two or more tables based on related columns?
- UNION
- JOIN
- MERGE
- COMBINE
Answer: JOIN
JOIN combines rows from multiple tables using related columns (usually primary/foreign keys). Types: INNER JOIN (matching rows), LEFT/RIGHT JOIN (all rows from one side), FULL OUTER JOIN (all rows). Essential for normalized database queries retrieving related data across tables.
The technology that allows a single physical server to run multiple isolated operating systems is called ________.
Answer: Virtualization
Virtualization uses hypervisor software to create multiple virtual machines (VMs) on one physical server, each running independent OS. Improves resource utilization, enables testing, disaster recovery, and cloud infrastructure. Types: full virtualization, para-virtualization, containerization (Docker).
Which practice helps prevent unauthorized access to Wi-Fi networks?
- Using default password
- Disabling SSID broadcast
- WEP encryption
- Open network
Answer: Disabling SSID broadcast
Disabling SSID broadcast hides network name from public scans, adding obscurity layer. However, strong security requires WPA3 encryption, complex password, MAC filtering, and regular firmware updates. WEP is broken; default passwords are easily guessable; open networks offer no protection.
A static IP address never changes, while a dynamic IP address can change periodically.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Static IP is manually configured and remains constant, used for servers, printers, remote access. Dynamic IP is assigned by DHCP server and may change on reboot/lease expiry, typical for home users. Static IPs cost more but provide reliability for services requiring consistent addressing.
Which UPI feature allows recurring payments for subscriptions?
- UPI Lite
- UPI AutoPay
- UPI International
- UPI QR
Answer: UPI AutoPay
UPI AutoPay enables mandate-based recurring payments for subscriptions (OTT, utilities, mutual funds). Users set amount, frequency, and validity; payments execute automatically without manual intervention each time. Enhances convenience while maintaining security with transaction limits and notifications.
The shortcut key to refresh a webpage in most browsers is ________.
Answer: F5 or Ctrl+R
F5 or Ctrl+R refreshes/reloads the current webpage to fetch latest content from server. Ctrl+F5 performs hard refresh bypassing cache. These shortcuts improve productivity when checking for updated information or troubleshooting loading issues.
Which technology enables real-time language translation in video calls?
- OCR
- NLP
- Speech Synthesis
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Real-time translation combines: Speech Recognition (audio to text), NLP (translation between languages), and Speech Synthesis (text to audio). Advanced systems also use context understanding and lip-sync for natural output. Used in global collaboration tools and accessibility features.
Chandrayaan-3's lander was named 'Vikram' after Dr. Vikram Sarabhai.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Vikram lander (Chandrayaan-3) honors Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, father of India's space program. The rover was named 'Pragyan' (wisdom). Successful landing on Aug 23, 2023 made India the 4th nation to soft-land on Moon and first near south pole.
Which encryption standard is recommended by NIST for securing classified information?
- DES
- 3DES
- AES-256
- RC4
Answer: AES-256
AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit key) is approved by NIST for top-secret information. Provides strong security against brute-force attacks. DES/3DES are deprecated; RC4 has known vulnerabilities. AES is efficient in both hardware and software implementations.
The mobile app for booking LPG cylinders under Digital India is called ________.
Answer: PAHAL/MyLPG
