Directions  for  Questions  11-15:  Read  the  passage  and  answer  the
questions  that  follow  on  the  basis  of  the  information  provided  in  the
passage.
Microprocessor  is  an  electronic  computer  Central  Processing  Unit  (CPU)
made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single
semiconductor  Integrated  Circuit  (IC).  Before  the  advent  of
microprocessors,  electronic  CPUs  were  made  from  individual  small-scale
Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By
integrating  the  processor  onto  one  or  a  very  few  large -scale  Integrated
Circuit  packages  (containing  the  equivalent  of  thousands  or  millions  of
discrete  transistors),  the  cost  of  processor  power  was  greatly  reduced.
The  evolution  of  microprocessors  has  been  known  to  follow  Moore's  Law
when it comes to steadily increasing performance over the years.
This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect
to  minimum  component  cost  will  double  in  about  18  months.  From
humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in
power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form
of  computer;  every  system  from  the  largest  mainframes  to  the  smallest
handheld  computers  now  uses  a  microprocessor  at  their  core.  .As  with
many advances in technology, the microprocessor was an idea wbose time
had  come.  Three  projects  arguably  delivered  a  complete  microprocessor
at  about  the  same  time:  Intel's  4004,  Texas  Instruments'  TMS1000,  and
Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer. . A computer-on-a-chip is
a  variation  of  a microprocessor,  which combines  the  microprocessor  core
(CPU),  some  memory,  and  I/O  (input/output)  lines,  all  on  one  chip.  The
proper  meaning  of  microcomputer  is  a  computer  using  a  (number  of)
microprocessor(s)  as  its  CPU(s),  while  the  concept  of  the  patent  is
somewhat more similar to a micro controller.

11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) Microprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B)  Integration  of  processing  power  on  chips  has  made  processing  power
cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small
scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret

14)  According  to  the  passage,  which  of  these  is  NOT  a  use  of
microprocessors?
A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers

15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:
A) 11icro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor

Directions  for  Questions  16-20:  Read  the  passage  and  answer  the
questions  that  follow  on  the  basis  of  the  information  provided  in  the
passage.
Dynamic Link Libraries Windows provides several files called dynamic link
libraries  (DLLs)  that  contain  collections  of  software  code  that  perform
common  functions  such  as  opening  or  saving  a  file.  When  Windows
application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends
a  message  to  Windows  with  the  names  of  the  DLL  file  and  the  function.
This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most frequently
used  DLLs  is  Windows  COMMDLG.DLL,  which  includes  among  others,  the
functions  to  display  File  Open,  File  Save,  Search,  and  Print  dialog  boxes.
The  application  also  sends  any  information  the  DLL  function  will  need  to
complete  the  operation.  For  example,  a  program  calling  the  Open  File
function  in  COMMDLG.DLL  would  pass  along  a  file  spec,  such  as  *.  *  or
*.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box's Filename text box.
The  application  also  passes  along  a  specification  for  the  type  of
information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL's
work is done. The application, for example, may expect return information
in  the  form  of  integers,  true/false  values,  or  text.  Windows  passes  the
responsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return information the DLL will need. The specific DLL
is loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At this point
the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the
operations  necessary  to  communicate  with  Windows  and,  through
Windows, with the PC's hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the
DLL  puts  the  return  information  into  memory,  where  it  can  be  found  by
the  application,  and  instructs  Windows  to  remove  the  DLL  routine  from
memory.  The  application  inspects  the  return  information,  which  usually
tells  whether  the  DLL  function  was  able  to  execute  correctly.  If  the
operation  was  a  success,  the  application  continues  from  where  it  left  off
before  issuing  the  function  call.  If  the  operation  failed,  the  application
displays an error message.

16) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware

17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D)  Searches  the  location  of  the  routine  and  instructs  the  application  to
execute it

18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use
a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B)  Just  the  name  of  the  DLL,  which  finds  in  turn  the  routine  to  be
executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D)  Name  of  the  DLL,  routine,  any  parameters  and type  of information  to
be returned

19)  According  to  the  passage,  while  the  DLL  routine  is  executing,  the
calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C)  Helps  the  DLL  routine  perform  by  communicating  with  Windows  and
through Windows with the PC's hardware
D)  Passes  all  responsibility  of  program  execution  to  the  DLL  and  is
removed from memory  

20) The DLL function after execution returns:
A)  The  parameters  and  information  into  memory,  where  it  can  be
inspected by the calling application
B)  Information  into  memory,  where  it  can  be  inspected  by  the  calling
application
C)  To  the  calling  application  the information  required  by  it  so  that it  can
inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether
the function operation was a success
