31. In the following list of devices, which device is used in datalink layer?
- A. Repeaters
- B. Routers
- C. Application gateway
- D. Bridge
Explanation: A bridge operates at the OSI data-link layer and forwards frames using MAC addresses. Repeaters work at the physical layer, while routers work at the network layer.
Correct answer: Bridge32. In which mode can the computers that are associated send frames directly to each other?
- A. Adhoc mode
- B. Infrastructure mode
- C. Structured mode
- D. Anonymous mode
Explanation: In ad hoc mode, wireless devices communicate directly with one another without requiring an access point. Infrastructure mode normally sends communication through a wireless access point.
Correct answer: Adhoc mode33. The Network is overloaded with enormous data sent by many computers within the network. The inability of the network to deliver the data is termed as __________ .
- A. Access control
- B. Congestion
- C. Error propagation
- D. Deadlock
Explanation: Congestion occurs when traffic offered to a network exceeds its capacity, causing delays, packet loss, or inability to deliver data. Deadlock is a resource-waiting condition rather than ordinary network overload.
Correct answer: Congestion34. In IT networking, which of the following device is used in physical layer?
- A. Repeater
- B. Router
- C. Transport Gateway
- D. Bridge
Explanation: A repeater operates at the physical layer by regenerating and retransmitting signals. Routers and bridges work at higher layers, while a transport gateway is not a standard physical-layer device.
Correct answer: Repeater35. A collection of computers connected together is called______?
- A. Processing
- B. Network
- C. Chatting
- D. Centralized System
Explanation: A network is a group of computers and other devices connected so they can communicate and share resources. Processing and chatting describe activities, not the connected system itself.
Correct answer: Network36. Servers are computers that provide resources to other computers connected to a___________?
- A. Network
- B. Mainframe
- C. Supercomputer
- D. Client
Explanation: A server provides files, applications or other resources to computers connected to a network. The computers requesting those resources are clients.
Correct answer: Network37. What is the last step in data encapsulation ?
- A. User information is changed into data.
- B. Frames are placed into bits
- C. Segments are changed into datagram and packets.
- D. Packets are placed into logical frame.
Explanation: Encapsulation proceeds from data to segments, packets, frames, and finally bits for transmission over the physical medium. Therefore, placing frames into bits is the last listed step.
Correct answer: Frames are placed into bits38. How much headings in HTML?
- A. 2
- B. 4
- C. 6
- D. None of these
Explanation: HTML provides six heading levels, from h1, the most important, through h6, the least important. These tags structure headings rather than merely changing font size.
Correct answer: 639. which layer of OSI model used by router?
- A. layer 2
- B. layer 4
- C. layer 3
- D. All of above
Explanation: A router makes forwarding decisions using logical IP addresses, which is the main function of OSI Layer 3, the network layer. Layer 2 switching is primarily associated with bridges and switches.
Correct answer: layer 340. E-mail Stand for____________?
- A. Electronic mail
- B. External mail
- C. Electronic Messaging Advice and Information
- D. Both A and C
Explanation: E-mail is short for electronic mail, meaning messages sent electronically through a communications network. The expanded phrase in option C is not the standard meaning of e-mail.
Correct answer: Electronic mail
