Which of the following makes a network insecured ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

Password capture makes a network insecure.

If an intruder obtains a user's password, he or she can log in as that user and read or alter data.

Encryption (option A) and static keys (option D) are security measures. A network interface card (option B) is just the hardware that connects a computer to the network.

A useful way to remember it is that the first two items protect data and the third is how data is lost: anyone holding a captured password has the same rights as its owner, so the network is open to misuse.

Which of the following three types of basic languages are used in computer programming ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

The three types of basic languages in computer programming are machine, assembly and high-level languages.

Machine language is binary code run directly by the processor. Assembly language uses mnemonics that an assembler translates, and high-level languages use English-like statements translated by a compiler or interpreter.

Option A and option B are not the standard classification. Option D lists three named languages, COBOL, BASIC and C, which are examples of high-level languages, not types.

Rich Text Format (RTF) is concerned with

(i) Formatting features like Font type, size, etc.
(ii) Transporting text documents across different computers.
(iii) Multimedia formatting.
(iv) Formatting based on binary concept.
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

Rich Text Format is concerned with formatting features and with transporting text documents across different computers, so (i) and (ii).

RTF stores font type, size, bold and so on, in a form that different word processors and operating systems can read.

It is not for multimedia (iii) and it does not use binary formatting (iv), since it is a text-based format. Options A, B and D include those.

RTF was developed by Microsoft so that documents could move between word processors without losing the look of the text.

Which of the following programming language is exclusively used for Artificial Intelligence ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

Prolog (Programming in Logic) is the language most closely tied to Artificial Intelligence, because it is built on logic and rule based inference and is used for expert systems, natural language work and knowledge representation.

C is a general purpose systems language, Java is a general purpose object oriented language, and J2EE is a Java platform for enterprise applications. None of them is designed exclusively for artificial intelligence.

To make a program safe, one should take care of

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

To make a program safe, one should take care of strong authentication and access controls, which decide who can run, read or change the program and its data. Without these, other safeguards can be bypassed by an unauthorised user.

Error checking, risk analysis and the vendor's credibility all help, but they are supporting measures. The keyed answer names the control that directly protects the program from misuse.

Which of the following are not the features of ISDN ?

i. Simultaneous Digital Transmission
ii. Set of communication standards
iii. Creates and combines packets
iv. Program to visit web pages
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

The statements that are not features of ISDN are iii and iv. ISDN is the Integrated Services Digital Network: it is a set of communication standards for simultaneous digital transmission of voice, video and data over telephone lines, so i and ii are features.

Creating and combining packets is the role of a packet assembler and not what defines ISDN, and a program to visit web pages is a browser, which is not part of ISDN. These two are therefore the exceptions.

Which of the following facilitate formal communication on the web ?

i. Wikis
ii. Chat
iii. RSS feeds
iv. Split screens
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

The keyed answer is i and iii: wikis and RSS feeds are the web tools listed that support formal communication, as the question defines it.

Chat is informal and real time conversation, and split screens are a display feature of a software window, not a means of communication. So the options which include ii or iv are wrong.

Formal communication on the web is planned, recorded and shared, which fits the wiki, where edits are recorded, and the RSS feed, which syndicates content. Chat is conversational, so it is informal.

Semantic Web is based on which of the following :

i. RDF
ii. Ontologies
iii. URL
iv. Cloud seeding
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

The Semantic Web is based on RDF (Resource Description Framework), ontologies and URLs (URIs) that identify resources, so i, ii and iii are correct.

Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique and has nothing to do with the Semantic Web. The options containing iv are therefore wrong.

The Semantic Web adds meaning to web data: RDF gives the structure of statements, ontologies define the vocabulary and relationships, and URLs (URIs) identify the things being described. These three together are what the layers of the Semantic Web stack rest on.

Which of the following are not web 2.0 Tools ?

i. Ontologies
ii. Facebook
iii. Intelligent Web
iv. RSS Feeds
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

The items that are not Web 2.0 tools are ontologies and the intelligent web: both belong with the Semantic Web (Web 3.0), so i and iii is the answer.

Facebook is a social networking site and RSS feeds are syndication tools, both typical Web 2.0 tools. The options naming ii or iv as the exceptions are wrong.

Web 2.0 tools are those that let users create and share content, such as social networking sites, blogs, wikis and feeds. Ontologies and the so called intelligent web depend on machine readable meaning, which belongs to the later Semantic Web generation.

Who are associated with the development of OSI Model ?

i. Charles Buchman
ii. ISO
iii. MIT, USA
iv. UCLA, California
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

The OSI model is associated with Charles Bachman and with ISO, so i and ii are correct. Bachman, then at Honeywell, led the layered design work that fed into the model, and the International Organization for Standardization published it.

MIT and UCLA are not associated with the development of the OSI model, so the options with iii or iv are wrong.

Charles Bachman led the layered architecture work at Honeywell that fed into the model, and ISO published the standard, so the person and the standards body are the two associations the key accepts.
