Q90. Which Word printing option is used when selecting specified page numbers rather than the entire document?

[SSC CGL Tier-II 2022 (held 2 March 2023)]

1. Print All Pages
2. Print Current Page
3. Print Selection
4. Custom Print

Answer: D. Custom Print

Explanation: Custom Print allows users to specify particular pages or ranges, such as 2-4 and 8, instead of printing every page. Print Current Page outputs the active page, while Print Selection restricts output to selected text where supported.

Q89. Which Excel reference identifies column A, row 10?

[SSC CGL Tier-II 2022 (held 2 March 2023)]

1. A-10
2. 10A
3. A10
4. A:10

Answer: C. A10

Explanation: Excel cell references normally place the column letters before the row number, so A10 indicates column A and row 10. Formulas can then use this reference directly. Dollar signs may be added to lock a row or column during copying.

Q88. In Word 365, shading changes what property of selected text or paragraph?

[SSC CGL Tier-II 2022 (held 2 March 2023)]

1. Colour around the text
2. Background colour behind the text
3. Colour of the characters
4. Font size

Answer: B. Background colour behind the text

Explanation: Shading applies a fill or background colour behind selected text or a paragraph. Font Color changes the characters themselves, and borders can create lines around paragraphs. These separate controls let document authors highlight material without changing its wording.

Q87. Which storage medium is sometimes described as an electronic disk?

[SSC CGL Tier-II 2022 cycle (held 2 March 2023)]

1. USB stick
2. Network storage server
3. Solid-state drive
4. External USB hard drive

Answer: C. Solid-state drive

Explanation: A solid-state drive uses integrated circuits rather than moving magnetic platters to retain data. Its electronic storage and lack of mechanical read heads make it different from a traditional hard drive, even though both appear as disks to an operating system.

Q86. Which high-speed storage element inside the CPU holds data during immediate processing?

[SSC CGL Tier-II 2022 cycle (held 2 March 2023)]

1. Arithmetic Logic Unit
2. Auxiliary memory
3. Control unit
4. Registers

Answer: D. Registers

Explanation: Processor registers are tiny, extremely fast storage locations used for operands, addresses and intermediate results. An ALU performs calculations; a control unit coordinates instruction execution. Neither performs the same short-term storage role as a register file.

Q85. Which statement about cache is wrong?

[SSC CGL Tier-II 2022 cycle (held 2 March 2023)]

1. It may retain short-term data
2. It permanently stores all user data
3. It is faster than main RAM
4. Its capacity is usually small

Answer: B. It permanently stores all user data

Explanation: A processor cache is small and relatively fast, holding temporary copies of selected instructions or data. It is not designed for permanent personal-file storage. Information normally persists on nonvolatile devices such as SSDs, hard drives or memory cards.

Q84. Which memory communicates most directly with the CPU in the conventional primary-versus-secondary-memory classification?

[SSC CGL Tier-II 2022 cycle (held 2 March 2023)]

1. Cache
2. Backup
3. Main memory
4. Auxiliary memory

Answer: C. Main memory

Explanation: Main memory holds active program instructions and data for processor access; secondary or auxiliary memory retains larger collections of data more persistently. Modern CPUs include caches that mediate many accesses, but in the traditional classification the answer is main memory.

Q83. Which register retains an instruction fetched in advance but not yet ready for immediate execution?

[SSC CGL Tier-II 2022 cycle (held 2 March 2023)]

1. Current Instruction Register
2. Memory Address Register
3. Program Counter
4. Instruction Buffer Register

Answer: D. Instruction Buffer Register

Explanation: In classic processor instruction sequencing, an Instruction Buffer Register holds a prefetched instruction awaiting execution. The Current Instruction Register holds the instruction actively being interpreted. The Memory Address Register specifies an address, and the Program Counter tracks instruction order.

Q82. A conventional VGA connector has how many signal-contact holes?

[SSC CGL Tier-II 2022 cycle (held 2 March 2023)]

1. 10
2. 12
3. 18
4. 15

Answer: D. 15

Explanation: The familiar blue VGA connector has fifteen contacts arranged in three rows of five. VGA is an analogue video interface historically common for linking monitors and projectors to computers. It differs physically and electrically from HDMI and DisplayPort.

Q81. Which Word print option specifies a custom list of pages?

[SSC CGL Tier-II 2022 cycle, held 2 March 2023]

1. Print All Pages
2. Print Current Page
3. Print Selection
4. Custom Print

Answer: D. Custom Print

Explanation: Custom printing lets the user select page ranges or particular page numbers for output. Printing a current page or highlighted selection is narrower and does not express arbitrary page lists.
