ISO/IEC 18004 : 2000 is the international standard for developing .................... .

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2020, SET Exam - 2020,

Answer: A

ISO/IEC 18004:2000 is the standard for the QR code.

The QR (Quick Response) code was created by the Japanese company Denso Wave in 1994, and ISO/IEC 18004 is the international standard specifying its symbology: the finder patterns, encoding modes, error correction levels and so on. Later editions updated the 2000 standard.

Biometrics, MARC (whose exchange structure is ISO 2709) and bibliographic records are covered by other standards, not by ISO/IEC 18004.

Which language is used for developing RDF ?

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2020, SET Exam - 2020,

Answer: D

RDF is written in RDF/XML.

RDF, the Resource Description Framework of the W3C, describes resources as subject-predicate-object triples. RDF/XML is the syntax defined by the W3C for writing RDF graphs as XML documents, and it was the original standard serialization; others, such as Turtle and JSON-LD, came later.

'RDF/HTML', 'HTML/RDF' and 'RDF/SGML' are not the standard RDF syntaxes. RDF is built on XML, not on HTML or SGML directly.

Assertion (A) : Work about Big data could also be found in Library.
Reason (R) : Library data needs to be transformed into information or knowledge.

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2020, SET Exam - 2020,

Answer: A

Both (A) and (R) are true.

Assertion A: libraries now hold and generate big data, including large digital collections, circulation and usage logs, research data and catalogue records at scale, and library work increasingly involves managing and analysing such data, so work about big data can be found in libraries.

Reason R: like any data, library data have value only when they are processed and analysed into information and knowledge, for example to understand use and plan services.

Both statements are true, so the options calling either one false are wrong.

Assertion (A) : Cloud computing does not facilitate external collaboration.
Reason (R) : Cloud computing causes libraries to provide innovative web services for users.

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2020, SET Exam - 2020,

Answer: D

(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Assertion A is false: cloud computing makes external collaboration easier, since documents, data and applications stored in the cloud can be shared and worked on by people in different places and organisations at once.

Reason R is true: cloud platforms let libraries offer innovative web services, such as cloud-hosted catalogues and discovery tools, digital repositories and shared storage, without maintaining their own servers.

The options calling A true or R false are therefore wrong.

Match the following :

List IList II
(a) Twitter(i) Collective Wisdom
(b) Wikipedia(ii) Audio streaming
(c) RSS feeds(iii) Microblog
(d) Podcast(iv) Alerts

Codes :

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: B

The correct matching is (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii).

  • Twitter is a microblog, built on short posts.
  • Wikipedia is built on collective wisdom, written and edited by its users.
  • RSS feeds deliver alerts when a website adds new content.
  • A podcast is a series of audio episodes streamed or downloaded.

The other codes reverse at least two pairs, for example calling Twitter audio streaming.

Which among the following is a free audio book site ?

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: C

The free audiobook site is Librivox.

LibriVox, founded in 2005, offers free audiobooks of public-domain works recorded by volunteers, and makes them available for download without charge.

Ebrary was a commercial e-book platform for libraries (now part of ProQuest Ebook Central), Virtua is an integrated library management system from VTLS, and Amazon sells audiobooks through Audible rather than offering a free audiobook library.

Assertion (A) : TCP is called as a reliable delivery protocol.
Reason (R) : TCP makes sure that whatever is sent by the sending machine is received intact by the destination.

Codes :

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: A

Both (A) and (R) are true.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is called a reliable, connection-oriented delivery protocol. It numbers the bytes it sends, requires acknowledgements, retransmits lost segments, discards duplicates and reorders segments, so the receiving application gets the data intact and in order.

That is exactly what the reason states, so both statements are true. UDP, by contrast, is the unreliable, connectionless protocol of the transport layer.

Match the following and find the correct answer from the codes given below :

List IList II
(a) RTF(i) Sun Microsystems
(b) PDF(ii) Aldus
(c) TIFF(iii) Microsoft
(d) AU(iv) Adobe

Codes :

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: B

The correct matching is (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i).

  • RTF (Rich Text Format) was developed by Microsoft.
  • PDF (Portable Document Format) was developed by Adobe.
  • TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was created by Aldus Corporation.
  • AU, the audio file format, was introduced by Sun Microsystems.

The other codes swap Microsoft and Adobe or misassign TIFF and AU.

Match the following and find the correct answer from the codes given below :

List IList II
(a) Delivery of packets from source to destination(i) Application layer
(b) Data transmission rate(ii) Data link layer
(c) Access to network resources(iii) Network layer
(d) Provide hop-to pop delivery(iv) Physical layer

Codes :

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: C

The correct matching is (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii).

  • Delivering packets from source to destination across networks is the job of the network layer.
  • The data transmission rate (bits per second) is defined at the physical layer.
  • Access to network resources for users and programs is provided by the application layer.
  • Hop-to-hop (node-to-node) delivery is the data link layer's task.

The other codes put source-to-destination delivery at the application or data link layer, which is wrong in the OSI model.

Virtual reality is described as an experience, which encompasses senses such as :

(i) Sight
(ii) Touch
(iii) Feeling
(iv) Smell

Codes :

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: A

The key's answer is (i) Sight and (ii) Touch.

Virtual reality creates an immersive, computer-generated environment. The senses it mainly engages are sight, through head-mounted displays, and hearing, with touch added through haptic gloves and controllers that give tactile feedback. Of the senses listed, sight and touch are the ones VR systems commonly address.

'Feeling' is not a sense distinct from touch, and smell is only rarely simulated in experimental systems, so codes including (iii) or (iv) are wrong.
