4. Which of the following device is used to connect two systems, especially if the systems use different protocols ?

hub

bridge

gateway

repeater

Answer: gateway

Explanation:

gateway is used to connect two systems, especially if they use different protocols. Gateways are networking devices that translate data from one format or protocol to another format or protocol. They are used to connect networks that use different communication protocols or data formats, such as connecting a local area network (LAN) to the internet.


5. Which of the following types of channels moves data relatively slowly ?

wideband channel

voiceband channel

narrowband channel

broadband channel

Answer: narrowband channel

Explanation:

Narrowband channel moves data relatively slowly. Narrowband channels have a relatively low bandwidth, typically less than 64 kilobits per second (Kbps). They are commonly used for low-speed communication applications, such as voice communication or basic data transmission.


6. The Internet is ?

a large network of networks

an internal communication system for a business

a communication system for the Indian government

a communication system for some states of India

9. If you wish to extend the length of the network without having the signal degrade, you would use a ?

resonance

router

gateway

repeater

Answer: repeater

Explanation:

The correct answer is (d) repeater. A repeater is a device that is used to regenerate or amplify signals in order to extend the length of a network without degrading the quality of the signal. Repeaters are commonly used in wired and wireless communication systems.


10. To connect a computer with a device in the same room, you might be likely to use ?

a coaxial cable

a dedicated line

a ground station

None of these

Answer: None of these

Explanation:

To connect a computer with a device in the same room, the most common method used is to use a type of cable called a "patch cable" or "Ethernet cable". This type of cable is typically a twisted-pair cable with an RJ45 connector on each end. It is used to connect devices to a local area network (LAN) or to connect a device directly to another device, such as a computer to a printer or a computer to a switch.
