Directions for Questions 11-15:
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 intomemory,
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.

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

6) 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

7) 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

8) 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

9) 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

Directions for Questions 10-14

Readthe 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
Circuitscontaining 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.

10) 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.

11) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) 11icroprocessors 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.

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

13) 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

14) "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
