Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

The flora and fauna of Cubbon Park captures our attention more than anything else. But when you take time to look closely at the statue, you will marvel at its sheer grandeur. Sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock, the 11 feet high marble statue is larger than life. It brings out the personality of Queen Victoria, who had been the Monarch of Great Britain from 1837 till 1901, depicting a rather proud, stern person with pronounced features.

In 1906, the statue was unveiled in the city by George Frederick Ernest Albert, Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall and York, making it stand in all its glory in its 111th year. Even though there is a wealth of history to the statue, and it was made to appear imposing, the busy Bengalureans would probably refer to it as just another landmark. As the workers are busy in discussion on the instructions given to them, life continues as usual in the Park.

The Bengalureans would refer to the Queen Victoria statue as ____________.

A) wealth of history	B) a landmark
C) Symbol of British rule	D) Bengaluru culture

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) a landmark

A) Fourth Generation	B) Third Generation
C) Second Generation	D) First Generation

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) First Generation

Explanation:

The First Generation Computers size was very large.

Since the First generation computers used 1000s of vacuum tubes that required lot of space made them gigantic in size. Single transistor could replace 1000 vacuum tubes and a single IC chip replaced 1000s of transistors made computers smaller and more speedy.

It is obvious that computers developed with more power, reliability, speed and smaller sizes due to the enhancement of technology.
