General Knowledge(GK) (or) General Awareness

Welcome to the General Knowledge Section of Free Time Learning. As we are aware General Knowledge (GK) is a very important area in all the competitive exams held in the country. Nowadays, a good knowledge of general awareness is very important in clearing any competitive and government recruitment examinations.

These General Knowledge Question are very important and usefull to UPSC, IAS/PCS, UPPSC, IBPS, SBI, RBI, SSC, CGL, Railway, APPSC, TSPSC, KPSC, TNPSC, TPSC, UPPSC, MPSC, RPSC, BPSC, MPPSC, UKPSC, MPSC, and other competitive exams.

A)
Cp /Cv = R
B)
Cp – Cv = RJ
C)
Cp + Cv = RJ
D)
Cp –Cv = R/J

Correct Answer : Option (D) - Cp –Cv = R/J


There are two specific heats of gases- Specific Heat at Constant Pressure (Cp) and Specific Heat at Constant Volume (Cv). Heat supplied at constant pressure is used up in two ways: (a) for doing work in expansion and (b) for raising the temperature by 1o C, while at constant volume heat supplied is used only for rise of temperature. Therefore, Cp is always greater than Cv. They are related as: Cp-Cv = R/J. This relation is called Mayer’s Relation.

B)
Memory Management
C)
Networking
D)
Multiprogramming

Correct Answer : Option (B) - Memory Management


Memory management provides ways to dynamically allocate portions of memory to programs at their request, and free it for reuse when no longer needed. It enables the allocation of additional memory space or release of unwanted space at run time for optimizing the use of storage space. It provides flexibility in adding, deleting or rearranging data items at run time.

Correct Answer : Option (C) - Knowledge Processors


Fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence, make use of parallel processing and superconductors. Built around the concepts of logic programming, they will be applicable to knowledge information processing systems. The goal of the fifth generation is to develop the device which could respond to natural language input and are capable of learning and self-organization.

D)
Concatenation

Correct Answer : Option (D) - Concatenation


Concatenation is the process of appending one string to the end of another string. When we concatenate string literals or string constants by using the + operator, the compiler creates a single string. No run time concatenation occurs. However, string variables can be concatenated only at run time.

Correct Answer : Option (A) - interface card


A Network Interface Card (NIC) is a device that allows computers to be joined together in a network, typically a Local Area Network (LAN). The network interface card acts as an interpreter, allowing the machine to both send and receive data on a LAN. Information Technology (IT) specialists often use these cards to setup wired or wireless networks.

D)
Semiconductor technology

Correct Answer : Option (C) - Transistor technology


Transistor technology is the new buzzword in the computer world. Replacing silicon transistors with carbon nanotubes could make any electronic device — smartphones, laptops, tablets and supercomputers — smaller and more powerful using less energy than those built using silicon-based transistors. Scientists at Stanford University, in September 2013, announced to have built the first functioning computer that used only carbon nanotube transistors.
