31. In the following list of devices, which device is used in datalink layer?

  • A. Repeaters
  • B. Routers
  • C. Application gateway
  • D. Bridge

Explanation: A bridge operates at the OSI data-link layer and forwards frames using MAC addresses. Repeaters work at the physical layer, while routers work at the network layer.

Correct answer: Bridge

32. In which mode can the computers that are associated send frames directly to each other?

  • A. Adhoc mode
  • B. Infrastructure mode
  • C. Structured mode
  • D. Anonymous mode

Explanation: In ad hoc mode, wireless devices communicate directly with one another without requiring an access point. Infrastructure mode normally sends communication through a wireless access point.

Correct answer: Adhoc mode

33. The Network is overloaded with enormous data sent by many computers within the network. The inability of the network to deliver the data is termed as __________ .

  • A. Access control
  • B. Congestion
  • C. Error propagation
  • D. Deadlock

Explanation: Congestion occurs when traffic offered to a network exceeds its capacity, causing delays, packet loss, or inability to deliver data. Deadlock is a resource-waiting condition rather than ordinary network overload.

Correct answer: Congestion

34. In IT networking, which of the following device is used in physical layer?

  • A. Repeater
  • B. Router
  • C. Transport Gateway
  • D. Bridge

Explanation: A repeater operates at the physical layer by regenerating and retransmitting signals. Routers and bridges work at higher layers, while a transport gateway is not a standard physical-layer device.

Correct answer: Repeater

35. A collection of computers connected together is called______?

  • A. Processing
  • B. Network
  • C. Chatting
  • D. Centralized System

Explanation: A network is a group of computers and other devices connected so they can communicate and share resources. Processing and chatting describe activities, not the connected system itself.

Correct answer: Network

36. Servers are computers that provide resources to other computers connected to a___________?

  • A. Network
  • B. Mainframe
  • C. Supercomputer
  • D. Client

Explanation: A server provides files, applications or other resources to computers connected to a network. The computers requesting those resources are clients.

Correct answer: Network

37. What is the last step in data encapsulation ?

  • A. User information is changed into data.
  • B. Frames are placed into bits
  • C. Segments are changed into datagram and packets.
  • D. Packets are placed into logical frame.

Explanation: Encapsulation proceeds from data to segments, packets, frames, and finally bits for transmission over the physical medium. Therefore, placing frames into bits is the last listed step.

Correct answer: Frames are placed into bits

38. How much headings in HTML?

  • A. 2
  • B. 4
  • C. 6
  • D. None of these

Explanation: HTML provides six heading levels, from h1, the most important, through h6, the least important. These tags structure headings rather than merely changing font size.

Correct answer: 6

39. which layer of OSI model used by router?

  • A. layer 2
  • B. layer 4
  • C. layer 3
  • D. All of above

Explanation: A router makes forwarding decisions using logical IP addresses, which is the main function of OSI Layer 3, the network layer. Layer 2 switching is primarily associated with bridges and switches.

Correct answer: layer 3

40. E-mail Stand for____________?

  • A. Electronic mail
  • B. External mail
  • C. Electronic Messaging Advice and Information
  • D. Both A and C

Explanation: E-mail is short for electronic mail, meaning messages sent electronically through a communications network. The expanded phrase in option C is not the standard meaning of e-mail.

Correct answer: Electronic mail
