Explanation:

• Embargo on imports from India: The Roman senate laid an embargo on the import of Muslin from India as it was considered a menace to the city's morals.

Speed of Internet is measured in Gbps. 1 Gbps or “a gig” is 10 times faster and equal to 1,000 Mbps.

Key Points

• Speed of Internet is measured in Megabits per second.
• A megabit is 1 million bits of information.
• This is a standard measure of internet speed and 1 Mbps is 1,000 times faster than 1 Kbps.
• Not to be confused with megabytes (MB) which is a measure of size rather than bandwidth.
• Because a megabyte is larger than a megabit, and to avoid confusion, MB/s is not used to denote internet speeds.
• Breaking it down, a Giga speed connection means that you can download 1000 megabits of data per second, which is 100x faster than your average broadband connection.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct answer.

There are four different types of calculation operators in excel: arithmetic, comparison, text concatenation, and reference.

To perform basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, or multiplication-or to combine numbers-and produce numeric results the arithmetic operators are used.

When two values are compared by using comparison operators (=, <, >, …), the result is a logical value either TRUE or FALSE.

The ampersand (&) is used to join, or concatenate, one or more text strings to produce a single piece of text.

The reference operator (colon, comma, space) combine ranges of cells for calculations.

The correct answer is Email clients

Key Points

• Email Clients: These are examples of application software.
• They are programs that are used to read and send emails from your computer or mobile device.
• Examples include Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, or Gmail.
• They provide an interface for users to manage their online correspondence.

Additional Information

1. Device Driver: This is system software, not application software. Drivers are special types of software that allow specific hardware or peripherals (like a printer, keyboard, or mouse) to communicate with the system's operating system. They essentially translate commands so that the hardware understands what the system is asking it to do.
2. BIOS (Basic Input Output System): This is also system software. The BIOS is a low-level software embedded on a chip inside a computer and is the first software that runs when you turn on your computer. It initializes and tests all the system hardware, and then loads the operating system. It's fundamental for the basic operations of the computer.
3. Boot Program: This is part of system software as well. It's the initial set of operations that a computer system performs when power is switched on. The boot program loads the operating system into the computer's main memory or random access memory (RAM).

Application software refers to programs that help to accomplish tasks or operations that the user wants to execute, like email clients for sending and receiving emails.

In contrast, system software coordinates and controls the operations of the hardware and allows other software to run on the system. Device drivers, BIOS, and boot programs fall into this category.

The correct answer is ENIAC.

Key Points

• The first computer with no mechanical parts created by JW Mauchly and J Presper Eckert in 1943 was called the ENIAC.
• ENIAC stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer.
• It was the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, and it was used for a variety of purposes, including ballistics calculations, weather forecasting, and nuclear weapons research.
• The ENIAC was a huge machine, weighing 30 tons and taking up 1,800 square feet of space.
• It had 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, and 1,500 relays. It could perform 5,000 additions per second, which was a huge improvement over previous computers.
• The ENIAC was a major breakthrough in the development of computers, and it paved the way for the development of modern computers.

Additional Information

Here are some additional details about the ENIAC:

• It was built at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering.
• It was completed in 1945.
• It was decommissioned in 1955.
• It is now on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.

The correct option is (2)

Concept:-

Bytes:- Bytes are the best units of data on an external storage device.

Key Points

• A byte is an eight-binary digit long unit of data in the majority of computer systems. Most computers utilize bytes to represent characters like letters, numbers, and typographic symbols.
• Although they frequently offer instructions that can test and modify bits, computers are typically built to store data in units called bytes, which are multiples of bits.
• In a computer, the smallest unit of data is called a bit (short for binary digit). One of the binary values, 0, or 1, represents a bit.
• An external storage device, also known as auxiliary storage or secondary storage, is a container for all addressable data storage outside of the main storage or memory of a computer.
• Pen drives, CDs, and DVDs are a few examples of external storage devices. A pen drive is a tiny, independently powered device that attaches to a computer via a USB connector.​

The correct answer is option B: i and iii.
Explanation:
- A line printer prints an entire line at a time, which means it prints all the characters in a line simultaneously.
- It allows multiple copies to be taken at a time, which means it can print multiple copies of the same line without having to print each copy separately.
- However, a line printer is an impact printer, not a non-impact printer. Impact printers use a mechanism that physically strikes an inked ribbon against the paper to create an image, whereas non-impact printers use methods like heat or lasers to transfer the image onto the paper.
- Lastly, a line printer does not print one character at a time. It prints an entire line, not individual characters.
To summarize, a line printer prints an entire line at a time and allows multiple copies to be taken at once. Therefore, the correct answer is option B: i and iii.

IEEE 802.3ab and Gigabit Ethernet over UTP cabling
IEEE 802.3ab:
IEEE 802.3ab is a standard that defines the specifications for Gigabit Ethernet transmission over various types of cabling. It is also known as 1000BASE-T.
Gigabit Ethernet over UTP:
Gigabit Ethernet is a networking technology that provides data transmission at a rate of 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). It can be transmitted over various types of cabling, including unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables.
UTP Category 5, 5e, and 6:
UTP cables are commonly used for Ethernet networking. They consist of four pairs of twisted copper wires. The different categories of UTP cables indicate their performance characteristics, with higher categories providing better performance.
- Category 5: This is the most basic type of UTP cable and supports data transmission up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps).
- Category 5e: This enhanced version of Category 5 cable supports data transmission up to 1000 Mbps, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet.
- Category 6: This is an improved version of Category 5e cable and offers even better performance. It also supports data transmission up to 1000 Mbps.
1000 BASE-T:
1000BASE-T is the Gigabit Ethernet standard defined by IEEE 802.3ab for transmission over UTP cabling. It specifically refers to Gigabit Ethernet over Category 5, 5e, or 6 UTP cables.
Answer:
Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1000 BASE-T, as defined by IEEE 802.3ab, for Gigabit Ethernet transmission over UTP Category 5, 5e, or 6 cabling.
