Which one of the following is an application of Artificial Intelligence?
- A.Database management system
- B.Operating system
- C.Natural language processing
- D.Register
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is C, Natural language processing. NLP is the branch of artificial intelligence that lets computers understand, interpret and produce human language.
Artificial intelligence covers systems that perform tasks normally needing human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning and understanding speech or text. Natural language processing powers machine translation, voice assistants, chatbots, spam filters and speech-to-text tools. Other well-known applications of AI are computer vision, face recognition, expert systems, robotics and recommendation engines.
A is wrong because a database management system such as MySQL or Oracle stores, organises and retrieves data by fixed rules; it is ordinary system software, not AI. B is wrong because an operating system like Windows or Linux manages hardware, memory and files for other programs. D is wrong because a register is a small, very fast storage location inside the CPU, a hardware part rather than an application of any kind.
Exam tip: AI applications = NLP, computer vision, expert systems, robotics, speech recognition; DBMS and OS are system software.

- A.1 and 2
- B.1 and 3
- C.2 and 3
- D.2 and 4

LTE is commonly marketed as 3G and VoLTE is commonly marketed as advanced 3G. 2. LTE is data-only technology and VoLTE is voice-only technology. Select the correct answer using the code given below.
- A.1 only
- B.2 only
- C.Both 1 and 2
- D.Neither 1 nor 2
Show answer
Neither statement describes the real difference between the two. LTE is a fourth-generation mobile broadband standard and is sold to customers as 4G, not 3G. VoLTE is not a separate network at all: it is a way of carrying voice calls as data packets over that same LTE network, using…

- A.1000 kilobytes
- B.1024 megabytes
- C.1200 megabytes
- D.10000 kilobytes
Show answer
In the binary system every step up the ladder of memory units is a factor of 2 raised to 10, that is 1024, so one gigabyte holds 1024 megabytes.
