1. The capability of a transmission medium to transmit the maximum amount of data from one computer to another is called:

(a) Speed
(b) Bandwidth
(c) Resource sharing
(d) Protocol

2. The server which manages the network traffic is called:

(a) Dedicated server
(b) Print server
(c) Web server
(d) Network server

Answer :

  1. The capability of a transmission medium to transmit the maximum amount of data from one computer to another is called Bandwidth (b).

    Explanation:

    • Bandwidth refers to the capacity of a transmission medium to carry data. It is usually measured in bits per second (bps) and determines how much information can be sent over a network in a given amount of time. A higher bandwidth indicates a greater capacity to transfer data quickly and efficiently.
    • Let's think of it like a highway: the more lanes (bandwidth) there are, the more cars (data) can travel at the same time.

  2. The server which manages the network traffic is called a Network server (d).

    Explanation:

    • A Network server is specifically designed to manage network resources. This includes managing, directing, and controlling data flow within a network, ensuring that the network operates efficiently.
    • Other types of servers mentioned (like a web server or print server) have more specialized functions, but a network server is more general in managing network traffic.
