A stack data structure can be implemented using an array or a linked list.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Stacks can be implemented with arrays (fixed size, O(1) access) or linked lists (dynamic size, O(1) push/pop at head). Choice depends on requirements: arrays are cache-friendly; linked lists avoid overflow. Understanding implementation trade-offs is important for data structure design questions.
Which HTML attribute specifies the character encoding for a web page?
- charset
- encoding
- meta
- content-type
Answer: charset
<meta charset='UTF-8'> in HTML <head> specifies character encoding. UTF-8 supports virtually all languages and symbols. Proper encoding prevents display issues and security vulnerabilities like XSS. Fundamental for internationalization and web security awareness in exams.
The Linux command to display disk usage of files and directories is ________.
- Code
- Canary
- Stratified
- du
Answer: du
du (disk usage) shows space used by files/directories. Common options: du -h (human-readable), du -sh /path (summary). df shows filesystem-level free space. Essential for storage management, identifying large files, and optimizing disk usage in system administration tasks.
Which technology enables bidirectional power flow between electric vehicles and the grid?
- Fast Charging
- Wireless Charging
- Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)
- Battery Swapping
Answer: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)
V2G allows EVs to discharge stored energy back to the grid during peak demand, acting as distributed storage. Supports grid stability, renewable integration, and provides revenue to EV owners. Requires smart chargers and regulatory framework. Emerging topic for energy and transportation questions.
The DPDP Act 2023 applies to processing of personal data outside India if it involves profiling of individuals in India.
- True
- False
Answer: True
DPDP Act has extraterritorial application: it governs processing of digital personal data (1) within India, and (2) outside India if it relates to offering goods/services or profiling individuals in India. Aligns with GDPR's approach. Critical for multinational compliance and data sovereignty questions.
Which operation has O(1) time complexity in a well-implemented hash table?
- Search
- Insert
- Delete
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Hash tables provide average-case O(1) for search, insert, and delete by computing index via hash function. Worst-case O(n) occurs with many collisions. Load factor < 0.75 and good hash functions maintain performance. Understanding complexity trade-offs is essential for algorithm design questions.
The JavaScript event that fires when a web page has fully loaded is ________.
- Engineering Task Force / IETF
- DOMContentLoaded / load
- DID / Decentralized Identifiers
- Indigenization / Self-Reliance
Answer: DOMContentLoaded / load
DOMContentLoaded fires when HTML is parsed (without waiting for styles/images); load fires when all resources (images, CSS) are fully loaded. Choosing appropriate event ensures scripts execute at right time. Critical for web performance and user experience optimization questions.
Which Linux command is used to compress files using gzip?
- zip
- tar
- gzip
- compress
Answer: gzip
gzip compresses individual files using DEFLATE algorithm, producing .gz extension. tar bundles multiple files (often combined with gzip as .tar.gz). zip creates .zip archives compatible across platforms. Understanding compression tools is essential for backup, storage optimization, and file transfer in system administration.
Energy-efficient buildings in India are certified under the GRIHA rating system.
- True
- False
Answer: True
GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) is India's national rating system for green buildings, developed by TERI and Ministry of New & Renewable Energy.
