Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications. Cloud computing is comparable to grid computing, a type of computing where unused processing cycles of all computers in a network are harnesses to solve problems too intensive for any stand-alone machine.
2. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer Hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a component of the system software in a computer system.
3. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
A programming language is a formal language that specifies a set of instructions that can be used to produce various kinds of output.
Note: Programming languages generally consist of instructions for a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that implement specific algorithms.
4. Answer - Option C
Explanation -

A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows. This diagrammatic representation illustrates a solution model to a given problem.
2. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
Bridges operate at the Data Link layer of the OSI Model. They can distinguish between local and remote data,So data travelling from one work station to another in the same segment doesn’t have to cross the bridge. Bridges operate on MAC –Layer addresses. They’re protocol independent. So they transfer data between workstations without having to understand the protocol.
3. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Load measures the amount of traffic on a particular network relative to the total capacity of the network /link/route. Load measures the bandwidth consumed by current traffic on a given network/route. Load is the difference between the total bandwidth and the available bandwidth of the network.

Symbolic code is a program code unrelated to the hardware of a particular computer and requiring conversion to the code used by the computer before the program can be used.
3. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
A data warehouse is organized around important subject areas. A data warehouse (DW or DWH), also known as an enterprise data warehouse (EDW), is a system used for reporting and data analysis. DWs are central repositories of integrated data from one or more disparate sources.
A data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant and non-volatile collection of data in support of management's decision making process.
4. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
A database query language allow user to interactively interrogate the database ,analyze in data and update it according to the users privileged on data.
5. Answer - Option D
