View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

In banded rows/columns, even and odd rows/columns are displayed with another color.

Why this answer is correct

The correct option is (3)

In banded rows/columns, even and odd rows/columns are displayed with another color.

Key Points

  • Banded rows signify that after one row, another row will be in a different color, and so on.
  • In MS Word, the banded column feature is used to differentiate the formatting of even columns from topic columns.
  • Your worksheet's data may be easier to scan if you use color banding, which is the practice of adding a different color to alternate rows or columns.
  • You can quickly apply a pre-made table format to format different rows or columns. When rows and columns are added using this technique, alternative row or column shading is automatically applied.
  • When an Excel sheet contains a lot of data, color banding makes it simpler for the human eye to distinguish between rows and columns.
  • Rows and columns can be banded together to create alternating bands of colored or textured rows and columns.
  • To select something, tap anywhere on the table. To choose a whole row or column, drag the selection handle after tapping once more to select the first cell in the row or column.

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Static

Why this answer is correct

The correct option is (3)

Static

Concept:-

SRAM stands for static random access memory.

Key Points

  • As long as power is being provided, SRAM (static RAM), a form of random access memory (RAM), keeps data bits in its memory.
  • A particular kind of memory found in semiconductors is known as static random-access memory. SRAM is immobile. It can function without a human periodically refreshing it.
  • N registers are contained in a static random access memory (SRAM), and each is addressed by log N address bits A. Due to the fact that the underlying flip-flops are "static," they are what gives SRAM its moniker.
  • Flip-flops, a bistable circuit made up of four to six transistors, make up static RAM (SRAM). Until the opposite value is put in a flip-flop, the bit it previously stored is retained.

Additional Information Symmetric:- A balanced and proportionate likeness between two halves of an object is referred to as symmetry. It implies that one half is the other's mirror image.

Synchronous:- Synchronous learning entails virtually attending a weekly class meeting at the same time as your instructor and classmates, even though you will be learning from a distance.

Key Points

  • An I-Node is a type of data structure used by UNIX operating systems to store crucial data about files in a file system.
  • Because they contain information that is always required, such as ownership and protection, I-Nodes are found on discs and are always valid.
  • A predetermined number of I-Nodes are also created when a file system is formed in UNIX. The I-Node table typically receives 1% of the entire file system's disc capacity.

Additional Information

  • A kernel memory object called Vnode operates similarly to the UNIX file interface, opening, reading, writing, and closing files.
  • On an operating system that is similar to Linux or Unix, a PID is an acronym for a process identification number.
  • Every newly formed process is given a PID by default.
  • On a system similar to Unix, a process is nothing more than a running instance of a program, and each process has a distinct PID.
