Q: Which of the following are two types of DNS (Domain Name System) records ?(i) Request(ii) Responses(iii) Question(iv) ResourcesCodes :

The answer is (iii) and (iv) are correct.A DNS message is made up of records of two kinds: question records, which state what is being asked (name and type), and resource records, which carry the data, such as A, MX or NS records, in the answer, authority and additional sections.Request and response describe kinds of messages (query and reply), not kinds of records, so the codes with (i) or (ii) are wrong.

Q: Arrange the following networks according to their year of establishment :(i) CSNET(ii) NSFNET(iii) ARPANET(iv) ANSNETCodes :

The order is (iii) (i) (ii) (iv): ARPANET, CSNET, NSFNET, ANSNET.ARPANET began in 1969. CSNET, the Computer Science Network, followed in 1981, NSFNET in 1985-86, and ANSNET, run by Advanced Network and Services to take over the NSFNET backbone, in the early 1990s.Codes starting with NSFNET or ANSNET put a later network before ARPANET, and code (A) places ANSNET second.

Q: Match the following :List IList II(a) Google(i) Hive(b) Samsung(ii) Playstation VR(c) HTC(iii) Gear VR(d) Sony(iv) CardboardCodes :

The correct matching is (a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii).Google's virtual reality viewer is Cardboard, Samsung's headset is the Gear VR, and Sony's is PlayStation VR. HTC's headset is the Vive, printed in the paper as 'Hive', which leaves item (i) for HTC.The other codes give PlayStation VR or Gear VR to the wrong company.

Q: Assertion (A) : In 1995 the Federation National Council referred the internet as global information system.Reason (R) : Every minute information published in the world is available on the internet.Codes :

The answer is (A) is true but (R) is false.On 24 October 1995 the Federal Networking Council (printed here as 'Federation National Council') passed a resolution defining the term Internet as the global information system linked by the IP address space and supporting TCP/IP communications. The assertion is therefore true.The reason is false: a great deal of published information, including much subscription, archival and print-only material, is not available on the internet, let alone every minute's output.

Q: Which of the following provides IaaS ?(i) Rackspace(ii) Duraspace(iii) Liblime(iv) Amazon Web ServiceCodes :

The answer is (i) and (iv) are correct: Rackspace and Amazon Web Services.Infrastructure as a Service rents out computing infrastructure, such as virtual servers, storage and networks. Amazon Web Services (with EC2 and S3) and Rackspace are well-known IaaS providers.DuraSpace is a not-for-profit organisation behind repository software such as DSpace and Fedora, and LibLime is a company supporting the Koha library system; neither provides IaaS.

Q: Match the following :List IList II(a) Amazon Web Service(i) GPLv3(b) Eucalyptus(ii) Proprietary(c) Openstack(iii) Apache2(d) Gigaspaces cloudify(iv) Open sourceCodes :

The correct matching is (a)-(ii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv).Amazon Web Services is a proprietary commercial cloud. Eucalyptus, an open-source platform compatible with AWS, was released under GPLv3; OpenStack is licensed under the Apache 2.0 licence; and GigaSpaces Cloudify is open source.Code (B) gives Eucalyptus the Apache licence and Cloudify GPLv3, and the others mark Amazon Web Services as open source or GPL.

Q: In ............, the bandwidth of a channel is shared by a number of independent signals.

The answer is Frequency division multiplexing.In frequency division multiplexing, the total bandwidth of a channel is divided into separate frequency bands, and each independent signal is carried in its own band at the same time, as in radio broadcasting or cable television.Time division multiplexing gives each signal the whole bandwidth in turn for short time slots, space division uses separate physical paths, and code division lets signals share the band by using different codes.

Q: Characters encoded in ISCII need ................. bits for each character.

ISCII needs 8 bits per character.The Indian Script Code for Information Interchange is an 8-bit code: the lower 128 positions keep the 7-bit ASCII characters and the upper 128 positions hold the letters of the Indian (Brahmi-based) scripts, so one byte encodes each character.Six bits allow only 64 characters, too few for both sets. Sixteen bits per character is the basic Unicode (UTF-16) unit, and 32 bits is UTF-32, both larger than ISCII uses.

Q: Expressing the algorithm is a pictorial form is called ................ .

An algorithm in pictorial form is a Flowchart.A flowchart shows the steps of an algorithm as standard symbols joined by arrows: ovals for start and end, rectangles for processing, parallelograms for input and output, and diamonds for decisions.A program is the algorithm written in a programming language, not a picture. 'Diagram' is too general a word. A parallelogram is only one symbol inside a flowchart, used for input and output.

Q: .................... is a client server application that identifies each host on the internet with a unique user-friendly name.

The application is the DNS (Domain Name System).DNS is a client-server application: a resolver on the user's machine asks name servers to map a user-friendly domain name such as www.example.org to the numerical IP address that identifies the host.TELNET is a remote login application. TCP is a transport-layer protocol and IP the network-layer protocol that carries the numerical addresses DNS returns. Neither of them gives hosts readable names.

Which of the following are two types of DNS (Domain Name System) records ?

(i) Request
(ii) Responses
(iii) Question
(iv) Resources

Codes :

A.(i) and (ii) are correct
B.(ii) and (iii) are correct
C.(iii) and (iv) are correct
D.(i) and (iv) are correct

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2024, SET Exam - 2024,

Answer: C

The answer is (iii) and (iv) are correct.

A DNS message is made up of records of two kinds: question records, which state what is being asked (name and type), and resource records, which carry the data, such as A, MX or NS records, in the answer, authority and additional sections.

Request and response describe kinds of messages (query and reply), not kinds of records, so the codes with (i) or (ii) are wrong.
