Which of the following sleep modes is the most power hungry mode?
- A.
S1
- B.
S2
- C.
S0

Correct Answer(s)
A. An unauthorized person gains entrance to the building where the companys database server resides and accesses the server by pretending to be an employee
C. An unauthorized person calls a user to be a system adminstrator in order to get the users passwordExplanation
The correct answer is "An unauthorized person gains entrance to the building where the company's database server resides and accesses the server by pretending to be an employee" and "An unauthorized person calls a user to be a system administrator in order to get the user's password". These two scenarios describe social engineering attacks. In the first scenario, the attacker manipulates their way into the building by impersonating an employee, gaining physical access to the server. In the second scenario, the attacker tricks a user into believing they are a system administrator and convinces them to disclose their password. Both of these attacks exploit human vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to systems or information.Rate this question:

It uses a key distribution center (KDC)
- B.
It protects a computer from a malicious software such as worms
- C.
It involves two or more methods as part of the authentication process
- D.
It is a process in which a client process and a server are required to prove their identities to each other before performing any application function
Correct Answer
C. It involves two or more methods as part of the authentication processExplanation
The correct answer is "it involves two or more methods as part of the authentication process". This means that multi-factor authentication requires the use of multiple methods or factors to verify the identity of a user. These factors can include something the user knows (such as a password), something the user has (such as a smart card), or something the user is (such as a fingerprint). By combining multiple factors, multi-factor authentication provides an extra layer of security compared to single-factor authentication methods.Rate this question:

An image scanner is a device that provides input by analyzing printed text, handwriting, or an object. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to convert physical documents into digital images, allowing the text or images to be edited, stored, or transmitted electronically. This makes it a useful tool for tasks such as document scanning, data entry, and image editing. Unlike a webcam, which captures live video, or other devices listed, an image scanner specifically focuses on analyzing printed text, handwriting, or objects.Rate this question:

Which fo the following substances are restricted under restriction of hazardous Substances (RoHS)?
- A.
Mercury(Hg)
- B.
Lead(Pb)
- C.
Iron(Fe)
- D.
Cadmium(Cd)
Correct Answer(s)
A. Mercury(Hg)
B. Lead(Pb)
D. Cadmium(Cd)Explanation
The substances that are restricted under the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) are Mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb), and Cadmium (Cd). These substances are considered hazardous to the environment and human health. The RoHS directive aims to limit the use of these substances in electrical and electronic equipment to reduce their negative impact on the environment and human well-being. Iron (Fe) is not restricted under RoHS as it is not considered hazardous in the same way as the other substances mentioned.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements about a riser card is true?
- A.
It is used to connect a computer in a network
- B.
It is used to connect extra microprocessors
- C.
It provides extra memory for expansion cards
- D.
It is used to extend slots for expansion cards.
Correct Answer
D. It is used to extend slots for expansion cards.Explanation
A riser card is a hardware component used to extend the slots for expansion cards in a computer. It allows additional expansion cards to be connected to the motherboard by raising them up vertically, providing more space for installation. This is particularly useful in compact computer cases where there is limited horizontal space for expansion cards. By using a riser card, users can add more functionality to their computer by connecting additional expansion cards such as graphics cards, sound cards, or network cards.Rate this question:

- A.
E book reader
- B.
Memory card reader
- C.
Smart card reader
- D.
Barcode reader
Correct Answer
B. Memory card readerExplanation
A memory card reader is used for accessing the data on Secure Digital SD card, MMC, and CompactFlash (CF). This device allows users to connect their memory cards to a computer or other device and transfer data between them.

Which of the following can be used to accomplish authentication? Choose all that apply
- A.
Biometrics
- B.
Enryption
- C.
Passwaord
- D.
Token
Correct Answer(s)
A. Biometrics
C. Passwaord
D. TokenExplanation
Biometrics, password, and token can all be used to accomplish authentication. Biometrics refers to using unique physical or behavioral characteristics of an individual, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, to verify their identity. Passwords are a common method of authentication where users must enter a secret code or phrase known only to them. Tokens, such as smart cards or key fobs, provide an additional layer of authentication by generating one-time passwords or digital signatures. By choosing any combination of these methods, organizations can ensure secure access to their systems and data.Rate this question:

Which of the following devices can cause great harm to ones life with lethal electric shocks? Choose two
- A.
SMPS
- B.
Floppy drive
- C.
Monitor
- D.
Keyboard
Correct Answer(s)
A. SMPS
C. MonitorExplanation
SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) and Monitor can cause great harm to one's life with lethal electric shocks. SMPS is responsible for converting the AC power from the wall outlet to the DC power required by the computer components. If not handled properly, it can deliver high voltage electric shocks. Similarly, monitors can store high levels of electrical charge which can be dangerous if mishandled. Floppy drives and keyboards, on the other hand, do not possess the same level of electrical risk.Rate this question:

Which of the following ports on a computer are used to connect a keyboard? Choose two
- A.
USB
- B.
DB-25
- C.
PS/2
- D.
DB-9
Correct Answer(s)
A. USB
C. PS/2Explanation
USB and PS/2 ports are used to connect a keyboard to a computer. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a widely used port that allows for easy plug-and-play connectivity. It is the most common port for connecting peripherals, including keyboards. PS/2 (Personal System/2) is an older port specifically designed for connecting keyboards and mice. While it is less commonly used nowadays, some keyboards still utilize PS/2 connections. DB-25 and DB-9 ports are not typically used for connecting keyboards, but rather for other purposes such as serial or parallel communication.Rate this question:

Which of the following features are related to power management? Choose two
- A.
Hot plugging
- B.
Hibernate mode
- C.
Standy mode
- D.
Safe mode
Correct Answer(s)
B. Hibernate mode
C. Standy modeExplanation
Hibernate mode and Standby mode are both related to power management. Hibernate mode allows the computer to save the current state and power off completely, while Standby mode allows the computer to enter a low-power state but still be quickly resumed. Both modes help to conserve power and extend battery life in laptops or reduce electricity usage in desktop computers. Hot plugging and Safe mode, on the other hand, are not directly related to power management. Hot plugging refers to the ability to connect or disconnect devices without rebooting, while Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode used to diagnose and fix software or driver issues.Rate this question:
