Q1. The smallest addressable unit of a digital image is called a:
- A) Voxel
- B) Pixel
- C) Texel only
- D) Dot pitch Answer: B
Pixel = picture element; voxel is 3D volume element.
Q2. Aspect ratio 16:9 means:
- A) Resolution is always 1920×1080
- B) Width:height = 16:9
- C) File is compressed 16/9
- D) Colour depth is 16 bits Answer: B
Aspect ratio is proportional width to height, not a fixed resolution.
Q3. Which is true for vector graphics?
- A) Built from a pixel grid
- B) Scale without pixelation
- C) Best only for photographs
- D) Cannot store colours Answer: B
Vectors use mathematical paths, so they scale cleanly.
Q4. JPEG images are typically:
- A) Lossless only
- B) Lossy compressed
- C) Vector format
- D) Uncompressed always Answer: B
JPEG commonly uses lossy compression suited to photos.
Q5. RGB colour model is primarily used in:
- A) Offset printing inks
- B) Display screens
- C) CMYK conversion only
- D) Spot-colour pantone only Answer: B
RGB is additive light model for monitors/cameras.
Q6. CMYK is associated with:
- A) Additive colour for LEDs
- B) Subtractive colour for printing
- C) HSV hue wheel only
- D) Binary images only Answer: B
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key(Black) — print inks.
Q7. Bresenham’s line algorithm is preferred over DDA mainly because it:
- A) Uses only floating-point maths
- B) Uses integer decision parameters
- C) Draws only circles
- D) Needs no pixels Answer: B
Bresenham avoids floating-point increments used in DDA.
Q8. Translation in 2D graphics means:
- A) Changing only colour
- B) Moving an object by offsets (tx, ty)
- C) Always rotating 90°
- D) Compressing the image file Answer: B
Translation adds displacements to coordinates.
Q9. Which multimedia component stores note events rather than sampled sound?
- A) WAV
- B) MP3
- C) MIDI
- D) MPEG-2 Audio Layer Answer: C
MIDI encodes performance events/instruments, not waveform samples.
Q10. MP3 compression for audio is generally:
- A) Lossless
- B) Lossy
- C) Vector-based
- D) Uncompressed PCM only Answer: B
MP3 discards less audible information (perceptual coding).
Q11. Which format is typically lossless for images?
- A) JPEG
- B) PNG
- C) MPEG-4 video
- D) MP3 Answer: B
PNG uses lossless compression; JPEG is lossy.
Q12. GSM in mobile communication refers to:
- A) Only satellite links
- B) A cellular 2G family (TDMA-based, widely cited)
- C) Exclusive Wi-Fi mesh
- D) Only Bluetooth pairing Answer: B
GSM = Global System for Mobile communications.
Q13. CDMA separates users primarily using:
- A) Different time slots only
- B) Different codes on shared spectrum
- C) Different HTML pages
- D) Different IP only Answer: B
Code Division Multiple Access uses coding to distinguish users.
Q14. Android is best described as:
- A) Apple’s closed desktop OS
- B) A mobile OS with Linux-based kernel
- C) Only a web browser
- D) A printer protocol Answer: B
Android is Linux-kernel-based mobile OS.
Q15. Bluetooth is mainly designed for:
- A) Global satellite internet
- B) Short-range personal area networking
- C) Replacing all cellular networks
- D) Only wired USB Answer: B
Bluetooth is short-range wireless PAN technology.
Q16. Wi-Fi commonly refers to:
- A) IEEE 802.11 WLAN family
- B) Only Bluetooth 5
- C) GSM voice codecs
- D) MIDI streaming Answer: A
Wi-Fi is wireless LAN based on IEEE 802.11.
Q17. Augmented Reality (AR) typically:
- A) Replaces the entire real world with a fully virtual one
- B) Overlays digital content on the real world
- C) Is identical to batch processing
- D) Means lossless compression Answer: B
AR enhances reality; VR immerses in a virtual environment.
Q18. Virtual Reality (VR) is characterized by:
- A) Paper documents only
- B) Immersive computer-generated environments
- C) Only SMS texting
- D) CMYK printing Answer: B
VR aims at immersion via HMD/simulated world.
Q19. Resolution 1920×1080 primarily indicates:
- A) Aspect ratio only
- B) Number of horizontal and vertical pixels
- C) Refresh rate in Hz
- D) File size in MB Answer: B
It is pixel dimensions (Full HD frame size).
Q20. Scaling with sx = 2, sy = 2 will:
- A) Move the object by 2 units
- B) Double the object’s size about the origin (typically)
- C) Rotate by 2 radians
- D) Convert RGB to CMYK Answer: B
Uniform scaling by 2 enlarges linear dimensions ×2.
Q21. Which is a graphics primitive?
- A) Deadlock
- B) Line / circle / polygon
- C) Foreign key
- D) Scrum sprint Answer: B
Primitives are basic drawable elements.
Q22. GIF format is especially known for:
- A) Unlimited true-colour lossless video
- B) Limited colour palette and simple animation support
- C) Only vector paths
- D) Only raw PCM audio Answer: B
Classic GIF: palette-based colours + simple animation.
Q23. Lossy compression means:
- A) Exact original can always be reconstructed
- B) Some information is permanently discarded
- C) Only text can be compressed
- D) No size reduction occurs Answer: B
Lossy trades perfect fidelity for smaller size.
Q24. HSV colour model parameters stand for:
- A) Hue, Saturation, Value
- B) Hyper, Scale, Vector
- C) Host, Socket, VLAN
- D) Hash, Salt, Verify Answer: A
HSV (or HSB) is used in design colour pickers.
