Comprehension

Consider a computer system connected with a transmission medium having minimum frequency 500 kHz and maximum frequency 1500 kHz. A user wants to upload a text document at the rate of 10 (1 page = 1600 characters and each character is of 8 bits) pages per 20 seconds. Simultaneously, he is also receiving data from the system from the transmission medium. On the basis of the above assumptions, answer the following questions:

Question: 1

What is the bandwidth of the transmission medium used?

Show Hint

The bandwidth of a transmission medium defines the range of frequencies it can carry and is crucial for determining data transfer rates.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The bandwidth of the transmission medium can be calculated using the Nyquist formula: \[ \text{Bandwidth} = \frac{\text{Maximum Frequency} - \text{Minimum Frequency}}{2} \] Given: - Maximum Frequency = 1500 kHz - Minimum Frequency = 500 kHz Thus, the bandwidth is: \[ \text{Bandwidth} = \frac{1500 \, \text{kHz} - 500 \, \text{kHz}}{2} = 1000 \, \text{kHz} \] Therefore, the correct answer is "1000 kHz."

Question: 2

Calculate the required data rate of the transmission medium.

Show Hint

When calculating the data rate, ensure to multiply the number of pages by the number of characters per page and the number of bits per character to get the total data transferred per second.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To calculate the required data rate, first calculate the total number of bits transferred per second. - Each page has 1600 characters, and each character is 8 bits. Therefore, each page has: \[ 1600 \times 8 = 12800 \, \text{bits} \] - The user wants to upload 10 pages per 20 seconds, so the number of bits uploaded per second is: \[ \frac{10 \times 12800}{20} = 6400 \, \text{bps} \] Therefore, the required data rate is 6400 bps, so the correct answer is "6400 bps."

Question: 3

Which type of data communication has been used in the present scenario?

Show Hint

Full duplex communication allows data to be transmitted and received simultaneously, which is commonly used in modern communication systems like telephones and network connections.
Updated On: Apr 24, 2025
  • Half duplex communication
  • Simplex communication
  • Duplex communication
  • Full duplex communication

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

In this scenario, the user is both uploading and receiving data simultaneously. This describes Full Duplex communication, where data can flow in both directions at the same time. In contrast, Simplex communication allows data to flow in only one direction, Duplex communication allows two-way communication but not simultaneously, and Half duplex communication allows two-way communication but only one direction at a time.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Full duplex communication."

Question: 4

How many number of bits the user wants to upload?

Show Hint

To calculate the number of bits to upload, multiply the number of pages by the number of characters per page, and then by the number of bits per character.
Updated On: Apr 24, 2025
  • 200 bits
  • 16000 bits
  • 8 bits
  • 128000 bits

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Each page contains 1600 characters, and each character is 8 bits. Therefore, the number of bits per page is: \[ 1600 \times 8 = 12800 \, \text{bits} \] Since the user wants to upload 10 pages, the total number of bits to upload is: \[ 10 \times 12800 = 128000 \, \text{bits} \] Therefore, the correct answer is "128000 bits."

Question: 5

The capacity of a transmission medium is measured in terms of _____ and _____.

Show Hint

To maximize the efficiency of a communication system, it's important to consider both the bandwidth of the transmission medium and the required data transfer rate.
Updated On: Apr 24, 2025
  • bits, character
  • bytes, frequency
  • Bandwidth, data transfer rate
  • Bandwidth, frequency

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The capacity of a transmission medium is primarily determined by its Bandwidth (the range of frequencies it can carry) and data transfer rate (the amount of data that can be transmitted per unit of time). Therefore, the correct answer is "Bandwidth, data transfer rate."
