A ‘keyboard’ consists of function keys:
- (A) F1 to F10
- (B) F1 to F12
- (C) F1 to F14
- (D) F1 to F16
- (B) F1 to F12
A standard computer keyboard has function keys from F1 to F12. These 12 keys are at the top of the keyboard. They are made to perform specific shortcuts or special commands based on the software or operating system in use.
Which of the following devices converts computer image into printed image?
- (A) Keyboard
- (B) Mouse
- (C) Scanner
- (D) Printer
- (D) Printer
A printer produces hard copy documents and pictures from electronic files. It’s a form of output device that creates a tangible printed image of computer graphics or text that can be printed on paper or other things. There is no difference between how a printer works and much like the process of printing an electronic document once created on your computer.
How many bits (binary digits) does a character have?
- (A) 2 bits
- (B) 4 bits
- (C) 6 bits
- (D) 8 bits
- (D) 8 bits
Standard byte either 8-bit or octet represents character in modern computing, resulting in 256 possible character combinations. Original ASCII was 7-bits and had 128 characters, whereas most modern systems used 8-bit codes (either extended ASCII or UTF-8) which means that most letters, numbers and symbols have 256 unique values. Basic standard Unicode uses a single unit consisting of either 16 or 32 bits; however, 8 bits remains basic unit for representing a character in typical encoding scheme.
The technical term not related to computer systems:
- (A) Mouse
- (B) Virus
- (C) FIFO System
- (D) Winchester Disk
- (C) FIFO System
FIFO (First-In, First-Out) is an established approach to using logic and data within areas of computer science (for example; Data Structure and Scheduling). However, it is mainly considered an accounting and inventory management term for determining the value of stock and controlling how physical goods move.

In the field of computers, what is “BASIC”?
- (A) Programming Language
- (B) A Software
- (C) Software Coding
- (D) Course of Computer
- (A) Programming Language
Beginning at Dartmouth College in 1964 (John G. Kemeny & Thomas E. Kurtz) BASIC (Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) was created to make programming (using computers) easily accessible to non-science students. With a simple, English-like format, many people learned how to program via BASIC in the 1970s-1980s; hence, it became the de facto standard on early personal computers.
Which feature is used to control what type of data can be entered into a cell?
- (A) Error checking
- (B) Data validation
- (C) Go to special
- (D) Evaluate formula
- (B) Data validation
You can use Data Validation in Microsoft Excel as a way of controlling/restricting what types of data users may enter into a cell. Through this function, Data Validation allows you to define multiple rules, for example, allowing only whole numbers in a certain range; allowing only specific date(s); or allowing only selection(s) from a list of items defined by you on a drop down list. If a user attempts to enter a datum that does not fit into the criteria you have predefined, then you can have Excel prohibit that entry completely or give the user a warning message.
