Question

Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE regarding computer network?
(A) Interspace is a software that allows multiple users in a client-server environment to communicate with each other by sending and receiving data of various types.
(B) IP address is a unique permanent value associated with a network adapter called a NIC.
(C) A computer network is an interconnection among two or more computers or computing devices to share data and resources.
(D) The term ’Workstation’ refers to the most powerful computer of the network that facilitates sharing of data, software, and hardware resources on the network and has more memory, processing power, and storage than a normal node.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (C) and (D) only
• B. (A), (B), and (C) only
• C. (A) and (C) only
• D. (B) and (D) only

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine which statements are true regarding computer networks, let's evaluate each of the given statements: 

1. Statement (A): Interspace is a software that allows multiple users in a client-server environment to communicate with each other by sending and receiving data of various types.
   This statement is true. Interspace is indeed a software application that enables communication between users in a client-server setup, facilitating the sharing of different types of data.
2. Statement (B): IP address is a unique permanent value associated with a network adapter called a NIC.
   This statement is false. An IP address is a unique identifier for a device on a network, but it is not inherently permanent. It can be dynamically assigned by DHCP or manually configured, and it can change over time, especially in environments that use dynamic IP addressing.
3. Statement (C): A computer network is an interconnection among two or more computers or computing devices to share data and resources.
   This statement is true. The primary function of a computer network is to connect multiple devices to enable data and resource sharing.
4. Statement (D): The term ’Workstation’ refers to the most powerful computer of the network that facilitates sharing of data, software, and hardware resources on the network and has more memory, processing power, and storage than a normal node.
   This statement is misleading. In networking, a workstation generally refers to a client computer on the network, usually more powerful than a standard desktop computer, but not necessarily the central or most powerful computer which is typically the server.

Based on this analysis, the correct statements are (A) and (C). Thus, the correct answer is: (A) and (C) only

Answer 2

The correct statements about computer networks are (A) and (C) only.

Additional Context:

• (A) Interspace:
  • Client-server communication software (True)
  • Enables multi-user data exchange
• (B) IP Address:
  • Not necessarily permanent (can be dynamic/DHCP)
  • NIC (Network Interface Card) is hardware, not an address
• (C) Computer Network Definition:
  • Accurate description of networking purpose
  • Includes devices beyond just computers
• (D) Workstation:
  • Incorrect - describes a server's role
  • Workstations are normal nodes, not necessarily powerful
• Key Networking Concepts:
  • Protocols govern data exchange (TCP/IP)
  • Topologies define network layouts

Correct Answer: (3) (A) and (C) only.
