hello varun
some of the answers you have posted are unbelievable !!! i mean i think some of them are wrong(like Q.No.1,7,8,9,10,11,12,18) will you justify these by some clarification or by sending some links corresponding to the questions.thax

Narender said...

hi...varun ..gd noon

plz..check my post again...

ans. of que no.19 was b i.e.(Unavailable for current context) in the post.
u highlight it as c...so make a correction..

thanks....

Hai..... Amarinder here.
The answer for 8th question is ALT+TAB.
U Can Check it on ur desktop or laptop by pressing those keys.

Thanks & Regards,
Amarinder.

hi...harpreet

Q-1....Personnel Department Now called human resources (HR) department..which is responsible for defining needs of an organization..for more...chk this link

http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/12514/careers_and_job_hunting/how_hr_works_to_get_the

_job_done.html

Q-7- in above cmnts 'graphics' makes clear each unit..API are used to communicate with OS's kernel..

Q-8 - Alt+Tab is used to switch to desired running app. by choosing it from Dialog Box
Alt+Esc...is used to cycle through order of applications in which they opened in taskbar...

Q-9..ALU is not a part of RAM.

Q-10
Laser Printer: - Laser printer uses LED-technology to obtain small particles of toner from a
cartridge onto paper. They produce high quality text and graphics on plain paper. They are generally more economical to use than the ink of inkjet printers.

Plotters Printer: - Plotter used for printing vector graphics picture. Unlike other printer
Plotters print by moving a pen across the surface of a piece of paper. Plotters printer is the
best way to produce color high-resolution vector-based artwork, or very large drawings efficiently.

for more check this link

Q-11 Buffer memory is other name of CPU's Cache Memory..which is fast than any type of Ram

Q-12 Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used to communicate to the original source, the errors encountered while routing the packets, and exercise control on the traffic.

check this link :
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gorry/course/inet-pages/icmp.html

Q-18 - Excel worksheet contain 65536 Rows it start from 1 instead of 0(as in case of memory array)
search google..also

at last u should mk cmnts in short forms..firstly, try to get information from internet/any othr source...be4 making cmnts...ok

bye.................Narender

Hello Narendra..

Very nice and knowledgeable quiz u presented here.. Very useful in all type of exams where we have general computer questions like Bank P.O, Clerk, MT and others..

One confusion regarding question no.5 if u can explain what are the 5 Arithematic operation CPU can perform.. I heard about addition and subtraction only with the help of these two operations it can perform all other operations..
Note : You ask only Arithematic operations not logical operations..

Check this

Maybe I interpret question wrongly.. Pls clarify the question..

Sorry to comment on excellent work you are doing..

Regards..

sir i want to know that wat r the overall percentage of marks(655 or 60%) one should score so that even if the inertview will be ok there will be fair chances of selection for a SC candidate
PLz provide me the info abut abov mentioned query
Thanks

hello Graphics..

1st of all five common AM operation are : ADD, MUL, DIV, SUB and Negation/Uniary operator(also performed by Arithmetic part of CPU) performed by each ALU of CPU.

ques. was abt how many types of am operations only... bt in concern to ur cmnts...

8-Bit ALU are rarely used in today's microprocessors which make use of SUB and ADD operations to perform MUL and DIV using shift operators heavily...

the modern Pentiums fetch data 64 bits at a time for their 32-bit ALUs.Data Width is the width of the ALU.An 8-bit ALU would have to execute four instructions to add two 32-bit numbers, while a 32-bit ALU can do it in one instruction which also is an actual reason of processor speed...more data bus are available to perform various types of ALU operations simultaneously...

32 bit Multiplication and Division ALU Design Based on RISC Structure which is a CPU design strategy....
