Question 2 Report
The following symbols are used in flowcharting except the?
Answer Details
The answer is "close symbol." Flowcharts are diagrams that are used to represent the flow of a process or system. They use different symbols to represent different elements of the process, such as starting points, decision points, and actions. Terminal symbols, also known as start/end symbols, are used to indicate the beginning or end of a process or flowchart. Process symbols are used to represent actions or steps in the process, while input/output symbols are used to represent data inputs or outputs. However, there is no such thing as a "close symbol" in flowcharting. There are, however, symbols such as the decision symbol, which is used to indicate a point in the process where a decision needs to be made based on a condition or set of conditions. In summary, the correct answer is "close symbol" because there is no such symbol used in flowcharting.

You can tell which cell is active because its border is highlighted with a different color or pattern. When you start typing, the data will be entered into the active cell.
Question 7 Report
Three major types of language translators are?
Answer Details
The three major types of language translators are: Assembler, Compiler, and Interpreter. An Assembler is a translator that converts assembly language code, which is a low-level programming language, into machine language code that a computer can understand and execute. Assembly language is specific to a particular computer architecture, so an assembler is also specific to that architecture. A Compiler is a translator that converts high-level programming language code, which is more human-readable, into machine language code that a computer can understand and execute. The process of compilation involves several stages, including lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantic analysis, code generation, and optimization. Once compiled, the resulting machine code can be run repeatedly without needing to recompile the source code. An Interpreter is a translator that works by executing high-level programming language code directly, without the need to first compile it into machine language code. Interpreters translate code line-by-line, executing each line immediately before moving on to the next one. This process is slower than compilation, but it allows for greater flexibility and interactivity during development, as changes to the source code can be tested immediately without needing to recompile.
Question 8 Report
In BCD encoding system, 25, will be represented as?
Answer Details
In BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) encoding system, 25 will be represented as 00100101. BCD is a system that represents each digit of a decimal number with its equivalent binary code. In BCD, each decimal digit is represented by a four-bit binary code. Therefore, the decimal number 25 is represented in BCD as follows: The binary representation of 2 is 0010, and the binary representation of 5 is 0101. So, combining the binary codes for both digits, we get 0010 0101, which is equivalent to the decimal number 25 in BCD representation. Therefore, the correct option is 00100101.

In this case, the map of Nigeria is a visual representation of the geographic features and boundaries of the country. It shows the different regions, states, and cities within Nigeria, as well as its neighboring countries and bodies of water. The map uses a combination of colors, symbols, and labels to convey information about Nigeria's geography in a clear and easily understandable way.
Question 15 Report
Machine Language instructions are expressed in?
Answer Details
Machine language instructions are expressed in binary. Binary is a system of representing numbers using only two digits, 0 and 1. Computers understand and process data in binary form, making it the most basic and fundamental language for computers. Machine language instructions are written using binary code, which the computer can directly execute without any further translation.
Question 18 Report
Which of the file organization methods can be accessed both randomly and sequentially?
Answer Details
The file organization method that can be accessed both randomly and sequentially is the Indexed Sequential Files. Indexed Sequential Files use an index to organize data records, allowing for both sequential and random access. The records are stored in sequence based on a primary key field, and the index keeps track of the location of each record. This allows for sequential access by reading the records in order, or random access by searching for a specific record based on its key value. For example, imagine a library catalog that is organized using an Indexed Sequential File. The books in the library are stored in order by their call numbers (i.e., the primary key field), and an index is kept that maps each call number to its location in the library. A patron could browse the catalog sequentially by looking at each book in order, or they could search for a specific book by using the index to find its location. Overall, Indexed Sequential Files provide the flexibility of both sequential and random access, making them a popular choice for applications that require both types of access.
Question 20 Report
Modern computers compared to earlier computers are?
Answer Details
Modern computers are faster and smaller compared to earlier computers. They can perform many tasks much faster and have more storage capacity for things like music, videos, and photos. They also often come in compact designs that make them more portable. However, it is important to note that technology is constantly evolving, so it's possible for there to be newer computers that are even faster and smaller than current ones.

Question 24 Report
Data that is copied from an application is store the?
Answer Details
Data that is copied from an application is stored in the clipboard. The clipboard is a temporary storage location that allows you to copy and paste information between different applications or within the same application. When you copy data, it is stored in the clipboard, which is a type of memory that holds the data until you paste it elsewhere. Once you paste the data, it is removed from the clipboard, and the clipboard is ready to store new data. Therefore, the clipboard acts as a buffer that allows you to move information from one place to another, making it a useful tool for working with multiple applications or files.

To hold row and column titles in places so that they do not scroll when the user scrolls a worksheet, click the?
Answer Details
To hold row and column titles in place so that they do not scroll when the user scrolls a worksheet in Microsoft Excel, you can use the Freeze Panes command on the Windows menu. This command allows you to select a row or column that you want to keep in place, and then freeze that row or column so that it remains visible when you scroll through the rest of the worksheet. This feature is helpful when you have a large spreadsheet with many rows and columns, and you want to keep the headers or labels in view as you work with the data. The other options listed in the question (Hold Titles, Split, and Show Grid) do not have the same function as Freeze Panes and will not allow you to hold row and column titles in place.

Question 38 Report
A Collection of software that allows the computer to operate is called?
Answer Details
The collection of software that allows a computer to operate is called an Operating System (OS). An Operating System is a software that manages computer hardware and provides common services for computer programs. It acts as an interface between the hardware components of the computer and the applications that run on it. The operating system is responsible for managing resources such as memory, CPU time, and input/output operations. It also provides a user interface that enables users to interact with the computer and run applications. General-purpose software and specific software are not appropriate terms to describe the collection of software that allows a computer to operate. General-purpose software refers to software that can perform a variety of functions, such as word processing, spreadsheet management, and email communication. Specific software, on the other hand, is designed to perform a particular task, such as graphic design or accounting. Utility software, on the other hand, refers to software that performs specific tasks to maintain the performance and functionality of a computer system, such as virus scanners, disk defragmenters, and backup tools. However, utility software alone cannot allow a computer to operate; it needs an operating system to function. Therefore, the collection of software that allows a computer to operate is called an Operating System.
Question 39 Report
Effects of file insecurity include the following except?
Answer Details
The effects of file insecurity include virus infection, file corruption, and data loss. However, encrypted data is not an effect of file insecurity. When files are insecure, they can be easily infected by viruses and malware, which can cause harm to the computer and compromise sensitive data. File corruption can occur due to various reasons such as hardware failure, software errors, or virus attacks. This can lead to files becoming unreadable or unusable, which can cause significant inconvenience and loss of important information. Data loss is also a common effect of file insecurity, which can occur due to accidental deletion, system failure, or hardware damage. Encrypted data, on the other hand, is a security measure that is used to protect files and data from unauthorized access. It is not an effect of file insecurity, but rather a way to prevent file insecurity from happening. Encryption involves converting the original data into a code that is unreadable without a specific decryption key. This helps to ensure that sensitive data is kept safe and secure, even if the files themselves are compromised.
Question 41 Report
The output of a NAND gate is 1 when?
Answer Details
A NAND gate is a logic gate that produces an output of 0 only when all its inputs are 1. In all other cases, the output is 1. So, if any of the inputs is 0, the output will be 1. If all the inputs are 1, the output will be 0. To put it another way, the NAND gate behaves like an "inverted AND" gate. It produces an output of 1 when any of the inputs is 0, and only produces an output of 0 when all the inputs are 1. This behavior makes the NAND gate a very useful building block in digital circuits, as it can be used to implement any other logical function.

Question 45 Report
Data transfer can be initiated through the following media except?
Figure 1 28. The topology
Answer Details
Data transfer cannot be initiated through trunking pipe. Trunking pipes are used to protect and route cables, but they are not capable of initiating data transfer themselves. On the other hand, coaxial cable, fibre cable, and twisted pair cable are all examples of media that can be used to initiate data transfer. Coaxial cable uses a central conductor surrounded by insulation and a grounded shield to transmit signals, while fibre cable uses thin strands of glass or plastic to transmit light signals, and twisted pair cable uses pairs of copper wires twisted together to transmit electrical signals. Each of these media has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which one to use will depend on factors such as distance, bandwidth requirements, and cost.

The scanner and the floppy disk are?
Answer Details
A scanner and a floppy disk are respectively an input device and a storage device. A scanner is a device used to convert a physical document or image into a digital format. It works by using a light source to capture an image and then digitize it. This means that it takes information from the physical world and converts it into a form that a computer can understand and process, making it an input device. On the other hand, a floppy disk is a type of removable storage device used to store and transfer data. It works by using magnetic storage to store data on a disk that can be easily removed and used in another computer. This means that it takes information from the computer and stores it in a physical form that can be accessed later, making it a storage device.
