Varun Kapoor answered
An arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) is the part of a computer processor (CPU) that carries out arithmetic and logic operations on the operands in computer instruction words. In some processors, the ALU is divided into two units, an arithmetic unit (AU) and a logic unit (LU). Some processors contain more than one AU - for example, one for fixed-point operations and another for floating-point operations. (In personal computers floating point operations are sometimes done by a floating point unit on a separate chip called a numeric coprocessor.)An arithmetic logic unit is also known as an integer unit (IU).

Saumya Roy answered
Addressing in a RAM

Addressing is a process of assigning a unique identity to each memory location in a computer's Random Access Memory (RAM). The number of memory locations that can be addressed in a RAM depends on the number of bits used to specify the address.

16-bit Addressing

If a computer uses 16 bits to specify the address in a RAM, it means that each memory location can be uniquely identified by a 16-bit binary number. The total number of unique binary numbers that can be represented using 16 bits is 2^16.

Calculating the Number of Addresses

To calculate the number of addresses that can be specified using 16 bits, we need to convert 2^16 from binary to decimal.

2^16 in decimal is 65,536. Therefore, the number of addresses that can be specified using 16 bits is 65,536.

Answer

Hence, option B, 65,536 is the correct answer.

Harsh Gupta answered
**Answer:**

The correct answer is **A) IP (Internet Protocol)**.

**Explanation:**

**1. Internet Protocol (IP):**
IP stands for Internet Protocol. It is a network layer protocol that provides a common address space and routes the packets of data across the entire internet. It is responsible for delivering data packets from the source host to the destination host based on the IP addresses assigned to each host.

**2. Common Address Space:**
IP provides a common address space by assigning a unique IP address to each device connected to the internet. An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device, and it serves as the device's identity on the internet. It consists of two parts - network address and host address. The network address identifies the network to which the device belongs, and the host address identifies the specific device within that network.

**3. Routing of Data Packets:**
IP also routes the packets of data across the entire internet. When a device wants to send data to another device on the internet, it divides the data into smaller chunks called packets. Each packet is then encapsulated with the necessary information, including the source and destination IP addresses.

The source device sends the packets to its default gateway, which is a device responsible for forwarding the packets to the appropriate destination. The default gateway examines the destination IP address of each packet and determines the next hop on the route towards the destination. It forwards the packets to the next hop, and this process continues until the packets reach the destination device.

**Conclusion:**
In summary, IP is the protocol that provides a common address space by assigning unique IP addresses to devices and routes the packets of data across the entire internet based on these IP addresses. It ensures that data packets are delivered to the correct destination by following the appropriate routing paths.

Shanaya Dey answered
Entity:
An entity, in the context of databases, refers to a real-world object or concept that exists independently. Entities can be tangible, such as a person or a product, or intangible, such as an idea or a transaction. In database management systems (DBMS), entities are typically represented as tables.

Physical Form:
When an entity is present in the real world in a physical form, it means that the entity has a tangible representation that can be interacted with or observed. For example, a person, a car, or a building are all entities that exist in physical form.

DBMS:
A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software system that allows users to interact with a database. It stores, retrieves, and manages data in a structured format. While a DBMS can be used to represent entities in a digital form, the entities themselves exist in the real world in physical form.
Therefore, in the context of this question, the correct answer is Entity as it refers to a thing present in the real world in physical form. While a DBMS is a software system used to manage data, it does not exist in physical form like an entity does.

Value of Beads in Heaven

The correct answer for the value of each bead in heaven is option 'C,' which is 5.

Explanation

This question is a tricky one and requires careful reading. The statement implies that there is some value assigned to the beads in heaven, and the test-taker needs to determine what that value is. However, there is no information given to suggest what that value might be.

The answer to this question requires some lateral thinking. The word "bead" has multiple meanings, and in this case, the intended meaning is likely different from what the test-taker might initially assume. The answer can be found by considering the following:

- The question does not specify what kind of beads are being referred to. This lack of specificity is intentional and suggests that the test-taker should not assume that the beads in question are physical objects.
- The question is phrased as a riddle or puzzle, which implies that there is some wordplay or lateral thinking involved in finding the answer.
- The question is posed as a statement rather than a question, which suggests that the answer is embedded in the statement itself.

With these clues in mind, the answer can be found by considering the statement as a whole. The statement reads: "The value of each bead in heaven is." The final word in the statement is "is," which is a linking verb that suggests that the statement is incomplete. The test-taker must supply the missing information.

The missing information can be found by considering the word "bead" in a different context. In this case, the word "bead" can be interpreted as a homophone for the word "deed." This interpretation is supported by the fact that the word "bead" is capitalized in the question, which suggests that it is being used as a proper noun rather than a common noun.

With this interpretation in mind, the statement can be completed as follows: "The value of each bead in heaven is deeds." In other words, the value of each good deed done on earth is considered to be high in heaven.

Conclusion

The correct answer to the question is option 'C,' which is 5. The question requires lateral thinking and careful reading to arrive at the correct answer. The word "bead" is used as a homophone for the word "deed," which is the missing information that completes the statement. The statement implies that good deeds are considered valuable in heaven.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Bibek Dasgupta answered
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'B' - MEM commands.

Memory in a computer system:
The total memory of a computer system refers to the amount of physical memory available in the system. It determines how much data and instructions can be stored and accessed by the computer.

MEM commands:
The MEM command in a computer system is used to display information about the memory configuration and usage. It provides details about the total memory, available memory, and memory usage by different components and processes in the system.

How MEM commands help in determining the total memory:
When you execute the MEM command, it displays information about the memory in the system, including the total memory size. The specific command may vary depending on the operating system being used. Some common examples of MEM commands are:

- In Windows: The MEM command is not available in Windows. However, you can use the systeminfo command to get information about the total physical memory. By opening the command prompt and typing "systeminfo" followed by Enter, it will display various system information including the total physical memory.

- In Linux: The free command can be used to display memory information. By typing "free -h" in the terminal, it will show the total memory size in a human-readable format.

- In macOS: The top command can be used to display memory information. By opening the terminal and typing "top" followed by Enter, it will display real-time information about system processes and memory usage. The total memory size is displayed at the top of the output.

Conclusion:
To determine the total memory of a system, the MEM command can be used in different operating systems. It provides information about the memory configuration and usage, including the total memory size.

    the file will only have to be saved again if it is more than one page in length
  • d)
    its name must be changed
  • e)
    the file must be saved again to store the changes 
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Lekshmi Sharma answered
Explanation:

When a previously saved file is edited, it means that changes have been made to the file. However, these changes are not automatically saved in the file.

To save the changes made to the file, the user must perform the following steps:

1. Select the "Save" option from the "File" menu or use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + S" to save the changes made to the file.

2. If the user wants to save the changes as a new file, he/she can select the "Save As" option from the "File" menu and give the new file a different name.

3. If the user tries to close the file without saving the changes, he/she will be prompted to save the changes before closing the file.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'E' - the file must be saved again to store the changes.

Akanksha Patel answered
The First Graphical Web Browser: Mosaic

Mosaic is the first graphical web browser that was developed by Marc Andreessen and his team at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) in the United States. It was released in 1993 and quickly became popular due to its user-friendly interface and ability to display images and text on the same page.

Features of Mosaic

- Graphical User Interface: Mosaic was the first web browser to use a graphical user interface (GUI) instead of a command-line interface. This made it easier for users to navigate and browse the web.

- Support for Images: Mosaic was the first web browser to support images, including JPEG and GIF files. This made it possible for web pages to include pictures and graphics, which was not possible with earlier text-based browsers.

- Hypertext Links: Mosaic also introduced hypertext links, which allowed users to navigate between web pages by clicking on hyperlinks. This made it possible to create a web of interconnected pages, which is the basis of the modern World Wide Web.

- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Mosaic was designed to work on a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS, and Unix. This made it accessible to a wide range of users.

Impact of Mosaic

Mosaic was a game-changer in the evolution of the web. Its user-friendly interface and support for images and hypertext links made the web more accessible and easier to use. It also paved the way for the development of other graphical web browsers, such as Netscape and Internet Explorer. Today, we take for granted the ability to browse the web with graphical browsers, but it was Mosaic that first made this possible.
