A. 3080

B. 4004
C. 8080

D. 8086

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The Intel 4004 is a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) released by Intel Corporation in 1971. It
was the first commercially available microprocessor by Intel. The 4004 was the first in a long
line of Intel CPUs. The chip design started in April 1970, when Federico Faggin joined Intel, and
it was completed under his leadership in January 1971.

31. Window's settings are recorded in

A. WINDOWS.INI

B. WIN.INI

C. SYSTEM.INI

D. GROUP.INI

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The win.ini file is a Windows system file used with Microsoft Windows 3.x and 9x initialization
that loads from the C: Windows directory and loads settings each time Windows boots. For
example, the communication drivers, wallpaper, screen saver, languages and fonts are loaded
each time the win.ini initializes. If this file becomes corrupt or bad, Windows will either not
load, or have several errors as it loads.

C. 1971

D. 1974

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Sent by computer engineer Ray Tomlinson in 1971, the email was simply a test message to him.
The email was sent from one computer to another computer sitting right beside it in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, but it traveled via ARPANET, a network of computers that was the precursor to
the Internet.

34. Operating System is the most common type of _________ software.

A. Communication

B. Application

C. System

D. Word Processing Software

Answer: Option C
Solution:
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software
resources and provides common services for computer programs. After being initially loaded
into the computer by a boot program, manages all the other programs in a computer. The other
programs are called applications or application programs. The application programs make use of
the operating system by making requests for services through a defined application program
interface (API).
