How many rows and columns are formed when we perform an
SQL join
operation by DepartmentID on the following table?
5 rows, 3 columns
4 rows, 3 columns
no rows and no columns since it would produce an error
10 rows, 2 columns
4
in the following query, what nodes does the "[:KNOWS]" match?
from ee to itself
bidirectionally (matches nodes going to or coming from ee)
only nodes that have incoming relations from ee
nodes that are connected to nodes that KNOWS ee
5
What happens if a single component (such as the NIC) fails on a NAS (Network Attached Storage)?
data can still be accessed
data will be shared to other components
no data can be accessed
data will be lost
6
What does a top of rack switch do?
routes traffic between different networks in separate data centres
replace routers by handling routing outsidethe rack environment
provides firewalls, so no need for firewalls in a rack
connects servers in a rack, and those servers to data centre network
7
In the tech stack for hypervisors, where do hypervisors sit?
below the applications but above the VMs
below the VMs but above the applications
below VMs but above the hardware
below the hardware
8
what Cypher clause can be used to query for a specific pattern of nodes and relationships in Neo4j
MATCH
SELECT
FIND
GET
9
Which of the following is
NOT
a benefit of virtualization?
Easing deployment and management of IT environments
Maximising resource utilisation
Reducing the need for physical hardware
Providing complete and robust application isolation
10
What happens if a disk array, switch or server fails on a SAN (Storage Area Network)?
data will be shared to other components
no data can be accessed
all data will be corrupted
data can still be accessed
11
which of the following is present in user space but
NOT
in kernel space
applications
CPU
devices
memory
12
Which of these best describes the
kernel space
?
all of the answers are correct
code in it is run in a protected area, ensuring stability and security
code running in it has complete access to hardware
it is where the kernel operates
13
The following Cypher code creates KNOWS relationships between nodes. What are the things in squiggly brackets?
attributes of each node in the relationship
label of the relationship
type of the relationship
attributes of the relationships
14
In the following Cypher query, what is "(ee:Person)"?
a node with label Person
a node with label ee that is of type Person
a node called ee
a node called ee with label Person
15
What do the first 3 pairs of a MAC address represent
NIC subnet mask
OA (Organization address)
NIC-Specific identifier
OUI (Organizationally Unique identifier)
16
Which of the following is true
switches connect both devices and networks together
routers connect devices in a network, switches connect networks together
routers connect both devices and networks together
switches connect devices in a network, routers connect networks together
17
which of the following is the
most
accurate about the linux kernel?
operates in user space so drivers can't affect system functions
manages hardware resources of apps through system calls
can only be compiled and distributed by the original creator
bypasses the need for a hypervisor since it can create and manage VMs
18
Which of these describes the role of an operating system
all of the answers are correct
Allocates resource like CPU, memory I/O devices
offers a user interface
controls the creation, deletion and access of files
19
which of these is a property of Storage Area Networks (SANs)?
easily extended because adding storage does not disrupt the SAN
connects users to the internet using distributed DNS routing
uses local hard drives attached directly to each server
shares files over HTTP or FTP protocols for general access
20
Which of the following is
NOT
a function performed by a kernel
interacts with hardware through device drivers
manages memory allocation and deallocation
provides a GUI for software
handles creation and termination of processes
21
Using cypher, create two people (Alice and Bob), and create a relationship where ”Alice follows bob"
CREATE (a:Person {name: ’Alice’})-[:FOLLOWS]->(b:Person {name: ’Bob’})
INSERT (a:Person {name: ’Alice’}), (b:Person {name: ’Bob’})-[:FOLLOWS]->(a)
CREATE (a:Person {name: ’Alice’})<-[:FOLLOWS]->(b:Person {name: ’Bob’})
CREATE (a:Person {name: ’Alice’}), (b:Person {name: ’Bob’})-[:FOLLOWS]->(a)
22
Regarding virtualisation, which of the following is
most
correct
Linux VMs do not require an underlying hypervisor
Type 1 hypervisors run on a server’s existing OS
Type 1 hypervisors have lower overhead than Type 2
Virtualisation removes the need for a physical NIC
23

NOT
in
kernel space
?
