    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following is not one of the three essential elements for a patent to be granted for an invention?

    • Be a product.

    • Be new to the public.

    • Involve an inventive step.

    • Be capable of industrial application

    Correct Answer
    A. Be a product.
    Explanation
    To be granted a patent for an invention, it must meet three essential elements: being new to the public, involving an inventive step, and being capable of industrial application. However, being a product is not one of these essential elements. This means that an invention does not necessarily have to be a physical product to be eligible for a patent. It could be a process, method, or even a software program. As long as it meets the other three criteria, it can still be considered for a patent.

    • Semi-deteched

    • Organic

    • Embedded

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Organic
    Explanation
    The given answer is "Organic". In the COCOMO (COnstructive COst MOdel) software development model, the "Organic" type refers to small teams with nominal experience. This type of software development project typically involves a small number of developers who have worked together before and have a good understanding of the problem at hand. The project is relatively straightforward and does not require complex or specialized skills. Therefore, the answer "Organic" is the most appropriate choice based on the given information.

    Explanation
    GIT is the correct answer because it is a widely used software tool for version control system. It allows multiple developers to collaborate on a project by keeping track of changes made to the codebase. GIT provides features like branching, merging, and conflict resolution, making it easier for teams to manage and track changes to their code. It is known for its speed, flexibility, and reliability, which is why it is a popular choice among developers for version control.

    Patent is a form of

    • Tangible Property

    • Intellectual Property

    •  Industrial property

    • Both (b) and (c) 

    Correct Answer
    A. Both (b) and (c) 
    Explanation
    A patent is a form of intellectual property that grants exclusive rights to an inventor for their invention. Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols, names, and designs used in commerce. Industrial property, on the other hand, refers specifically to patents, trademarks, and industrial designs. Therefore, a patent falls under both intellectual property and industrial property categories.

    A software initially developed in English language is converted to Japanese Language. This is called

    • Internationalization

    • Localization

    • Both

    • None of the Above

    Correct Answer
    A. Localization
    Explanation
    Localization refers to the process of adapting a software or product to a specific language, culture, and target market. In this case, the software initially developed in English has been converted to Japanese language, which means it has been localized to suit the Japanese market and language preferences. Localization involves translating text, adapting graphics and images, and making cultural adjustments to ensure the software is user-friendly and culturally appropriate for the target audience. Therefore, the correct answer is Localization.

    Cost estimation Method are

    • Algorithmic cost modelling

    • Expert judgement

    • Estimation by analogy

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because all three methods mentioned - algorithmic cost modelling, expert judgement, and estimation by analogy - are commonly used cost estimation techniques. Algorithmic cost modelling involves using mathematical models or algorithms to estimate costs based on various parameters. Expert judgement relies on the knowledge and experience of experts in the field to estimate costs. Estimation by analogy involves comparing the current project with similar past projects to estimate costs. Therefore, all three methods are valid and commonly used in cost estimation.

    The first prototype model is changed and updated to get product in _______________prototyping method

    • Incremental 

    • Throw away

    • Spiral

    • Waste 

    Correct Answer
    A. Throw away
    Explanation
    In the throw away prototyping method, the first prototype model is created and used as a learning tool. It is then discarded or "thrown away" after its purpose of gathering feedback and identifying potential improvements is fulfilled. This allows for a fresh start with a new prototype that incorporates the lessons learned from the previous one. This method is particularly useful when the requirements and design of the product are unclear or likely to change significantly.
