1. (d) Assembly language is
mnemonic based low level language. Mnemonics are short codes of assembly
language which chosen to remind the programmer of the instructions of binary
machine-code which are apparently which are very hard to remember, write down,
or correct.

2. (e) Tianhe-2 is China’s
Supercomputer. It was the fastest until its position being taken up by Sunway
Tiahu Light as the Fastest Supercomputer.

3. (e) In 1960’s AT&T
introduces its Data phone, the first commercial modem. The first commercial
modem made for converting digital computer data at analog signals for
transmission across long distance networks.

4. (b) An API may be for a
web-based system, operating system, database system, computer hardware, or
software library. It is an acronym for Application Programming Interface. An
API specifies how software components should interact and APIs are used when
programming graphical user interface (GUI) components.

5. (d) BSODs appear when
Microsoft Windows encounters a critical error it can’t recover from, requiring
a reboot and possibly resulting in lost work. It stands for blue screen of
death. Blue screens are generally caused by problems with your computer’s
hardware or issues with its hardware driver software. A blue screen occurs when
Windows encounters a “STOP Error.” This critical failure causes Windows
to crash and stop working.

6. (e) Microsoft is a cloud
computing platform and infrastructure created by Microsoft for building,
deploying, and managing applications and services through a global network of
Microsoft-managed data centers. Azure was announced in October 2008 and
released on 1 February 2010 as Windows Azure, before being renamed to Microsoft
Azure on 25 March 2014.

7. (d) After a credit card
transaction has been authorized by the issuing bank by sending an authorization
code to the merchant, the settlement stage of the process begins. This is
called batch processing because a number (or batch) of transactions is settled
all at one time.

8. (d) WAN stands for Wide Area
Network. A wide area network (WAN) is a geographically distributed private
telecommunications network that interconnects multiple local area networks
(LANs). In an enterprise, a WAN may consist of connections to a company’s
headquarters, branch offices, collocation facilities, cloud services and other
facilities.

9. (c) Hybrid cloud is a cloud
computing environment which uses a mix of on-premises, private cloud and third party,
public cloud services with orchestration between the two platforms. By using a
Hybrid approach, companies can maintain control of an internally managed
private cloud while relying on the public cloud as needed.

10. (b) Pascal is an imperative
and procedural programming language designed in 1968/1969 and published in 1970
by Nicklaus Wirth as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good
programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.
