Q.3 In the field of IT, FTP stands for:
A. File Transfer Protocol
B. File Transfer Protection
C. File Transfer Position
D. File Transfer Platform
Correct Answer) A: File Transfer Protocol
Description:
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) definition refers to a group of rules that govern how computers transfer files between systems over the internet. Businesses use FTP upload files to computers, and websites use FTP for the uploading and downloading of files from their servers. FTP works by opening two connections that link the computers trying to communicate with each other. One connection is designated for the commands and replies that get sent between the two clients, and the other channel handles the transfer of data. During an FTP transmission, there are four commands used by the computers, servers, or proxy servers that are communicating. These are “send,” “get,” “change directory,” and “transfer.

A USB flash drive[note 1] is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface. It is typically removable, rewritable and much smaller than an optical disc. Most weigh less than 30 g (1 oz). Since first appearing on the market in late 2000, as with virtually all other computer memory devices, storage capacities have risen while prices have dropped. As of March 2016, flash drives with anywhere from 8 to 256 gigabytes (GB) were frequently sold, while 512 GB and 1 terabyte (TB) units were less frequent. As of 2018, 2 TB flash drives were the largest available in terms of storage capacity.

A. Main memory
B. Beckup memory
C. Short term memory
D. Long term memory
Correct Answer) A: Main memory
Description:
Memory is the most essential element of a computing system because without it computer can’t perform simple tasks. Computer memory is of two basic types – Primary memory(RAM and ROM) and Secondary memory (hard drive, CD, etc). Random Access Memory (RAM) is primary-volatile memory and Read Only Memory (ROM) is primary-non-volatile memory.

Q.21 GW-BASIC is a programming language developed by Microsoft, GW stands for:
A. Gigabyte wiki
B. Gigabyte worm
C. Gate way
D. Graphics webmaster
Correct Answer) C: Gate way
Description:
GW-BASIC is a dialect of the BASIC programming language developed by Microsoft from IBM BASICA. Functionally identical to BASICA, its BASIC interpreter is a fully self-contained executable and does not need the Cassette BASIC ROM found in the original IBM PC. It was bundled with MS-DOS operating systems on IBM PC compatibles by Microsoft. The language is suitable for simple games, business programs and the like. Since it was included with most versions of MS-DOS, it was also a low-cost way for many aspiring programmers to learn the fundamentals of computer programming. Microsoft also sold a BASIC compiler, BASCOM, compatible with GW-BASIC, for programs needing more speed.
