Domain Name
MAC Address
Hostname
IP Address
ExplanationIP addresses are logical identifiers used to route data packets across networks.
Decryption
Authentication
Encryption
Hashing
ExplanationEncryption is the technique of encoding data to secure it from unauthorized access.
Webcam/Digital Camera
Scanner
Barcode Reader
Plotter
ExplanationA webcam or digital camera captures optical images and converts them into digital data that the computer can process.
To manage hardware resources and coordinate processes
To provide the graphical user interface (GUI) for the user
To manage the internet connection settings and protocols
To write and compile application-specific code
ExplanationThe Kernel is the core component of the OS that handles the crucial functions of resource management (CPU, memory, I/O).
Spreadsheet calculations
Vector graphic information
Editable structured text and data
Portable document content
ExplanationPDF (Portable Document Format) is designed to ensure documents look consistent regardless of the software or hardware used to view them.
Graphical Utility Integration
General User Interface
Graphical User Interface
Global Utility Information
ExplanationGUI refers to the visual system of icons, buttons, and windows used for interacting with the computer.
Transport Layer
Data Link Layer
Network Layer
Physical Layer
ExplanationThe Network Layer, using protocols like IP, handles logical addressing and determines the best path (routing) for data packets across interconnected networks.
RAM
ROM
Flash Memory
Cache Memory
ExplanationRAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory, meaning it loses its data when the power supply is removed. ROM retains data even without power.
Normalization
Referential Integrity
Atomicity
Concurrency Control
ExplanationNormalization is the process of structuring a database to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity, solving issues like repeated entity data.
Defining the structure and content of a webpage.
Creating interactive client-side scripts and dynamic behavior.
Handling server-side logic and database interactions.
Specifying the visual presentation and layout of the elements.
ExplanationCSS dictates how HTML elements look—their colors, fonts, spacing, and arrangement—without changing the underlying structure (which is the role of HTML).
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Random Access Memory (RAM)
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
Motherboard Chipset
ExplanationThe CPU is often called the 'brain' of the computer as it processes instructions and performs calculations (ALU).
Global Image File
Graphics Interchange Format
General Information File
Graphic Internet File
ExplanationGIF is a popular image format recognized for supporting animation and a limited color palette.
110
98
108
112
ExplanationThe pattern is (Previous Number * 2) + 2. Thus, 54 * 2 + 2 = 110.
CARBUNI
CANDUTT
CALCAUT
CADICUT
ExplanationThe code follows a pattern where each letter is replaced by the first letter of the word's code (D->C, E->A, L->N, etc.).
SSH (Secure Shell)
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
ExplanationHTTP is the foundation protocol for client-server communication on the World Wide Web.
36
28
56
49
ExplanationThe relationship is squaring the number (4 squared is 16; 7 squared is 49).
Uniform Remote Link
Universal Resource Link
Uniform Resource Locator
User Retrieval Layer
ExplanationURL is the standard format used to specify the location of a resource on the World Wide Web.
Rule
Justice
Law
Compassion
ExplanationJustice, Law, and Rule are aspects of formal societal governance, while Compassion is an emotion or moral quality.
A square with a shaded diagonal
A triangle with a dotted base
A rectangle with a shaded corner
A circle divided into four quarters
ExplanationIn standard visual reasoning tests (like those for NTS/FPSC), the sequence often involves a simple transformation or shift. Given the pattern, the third figure typically reverts to a basic shape like a divided circle.
Strawberry
Mango
Grape
Watermelon
ExplanationThe relationship is between a category of fruit (Apple/Orange) and a representative fruit (Banana/Mango), which are common, distinct items.
ROM (Read-Only Memory)
Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Cache Memory
RAM (Random Access Memory)
ExplanationRAM is volatile memory, meaning its contents are lost when power is removed. ROM contains permanent, non-volatile data.
100 meters
125 meters
75 meters
150 meters
ExplanationLet L be the length of the train and S be the speed. (L/15 = 150/(25-15)). L = 75 meters.
2-1-20-8-3 (using letter position)
2-20-1-8-3
2-1-20-8-3 (mapping only consonants)
2-1-20-8-3
ExplanationThe logic is based on direct alphabetical positioning (A=1, B=2, etc.), as exemplified by the standard coding required in competitive exams.
Translate high-level programming code into machine code
Store temporary data during processing
Manage the flow of instructions between memory and CPU
Perform mathematical calculations and logical operations
ExplanationThe ALU is the component responsible for all basic calculations (arithmetic) and comparison operations (logic).
WOWBSVWZ
VOWBSVZZ
VOWBSVZZ
VOWBSVJJ
ExplanationThe code applies a sequential shift (+1, +1, -1, +1, -1, etc.) across the letters of the word.
Notebook
Eraser
Scale
Pencil
ExplanationPencil, Eraser, and Scale are typically used as small, single-purpose tools; a Notebook is an item for recording.
