24 sample cards from the Computer Knowledge deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
What is a DBMS?
A Database Management System is software to create, store, manage, and retrieve data in a database (e.g., Oracle, MySQL, MS Access, SQL Server).
In a relational database, what are a row and a column called?
A row is a record (tuple); a column is a field (attribute). Data is stored in tables (relations).
What is a Primary Key in a database?
A column (or set of columns) that uniquely identifies each record in a table; it cannot be null or duplicated.
What does SQL stand for and what is it used for?
Structured Query Language; it is the standard language used to create, query, update, and manage relational databases.
What is the difference between LAN, MAN, and WAN?
LAN (Local Area Network) covers a small area like an office; MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) covers a city; WAN (Wide Area Network) covers large areas/countries (e.g., the Internet).
Name the common network topologies.
Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, Tree, and Hybrid topology.
In a Star topology, what central device connects all nodes?
A hub or switch; all nodes connect to this central device, so if it fails the whole network fails.
What is a protocol in networking, and name one common example.
A protocol is a set of rules governing data communication. Examples: TCP/IP, HTTP, FTP, SMTP.
What does the Internet's TCP/IP protocol suite do?
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) ensures reliable, ordered delivery of data; IP (Internet Protocol) handles addressing and routing of packets between devices.
What does an IP address do and name its two versions?
An IP address uniquely identifies a device on a network. IPv4 is 32-bit (e.g., 192.168.1.1); IPv6 is 128-bit.
What is a URL and what does HTTP/HTTPS stand for?
URL = Uniform Resource Locator (web address). HTTP = HyperText Transfer Protocol; HTTPS is the secure (encrypted) version.
Name common web browsers and what a search engine is.
Browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari. A search engine (e.g., Google, Bing) is a tool/website used to find information on the web.
What do the email protocols SMTP, POP3, and IMAP do?
SMTP sends outgoing mail; POP3 downloads mail to one device (removing from server); IMAP syncs mail across multiple devices (kept on server).
In email, what is the difference between CC and BCC?
CC (Carbon Copy) sends a visible copy to others; BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) sends a hidden copy so other recipients cannot see those addresses.
What is malware and name common types.
Malware is malicious software designed to harm/exploit systems. Types: virus, worm, Trojan horse, spyware, ransomware, adware.
What is the difference between a virus and a worm?
A virus attaches to a file and needs a host/user action to spread; a worm is standalone and self-replicates across networks without user action.
What is phishing?
A cyber attack using fake emails/websites that impersonate trusted entities to trick users into revealing sensitive data like passwords or bank details.
What is a firewall?
A network security system (hardware or software) that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing traffic based on security rules, acting as a barrier against unauthorized access.
What is the purpose of antivirus software?
To detect, prevent, and remove malware (viruses, worms, Trojans) from a computer (e.g., Norton, McAfee, Quick Heal).
What do the abbreviations CPU, ALU, and CU stand for?
CPU = Central Processing Unit; ALU = Arithmetic Logic Unit; CU = Control Unit.
What do the abbreviations RAM, ROM, and BIOS stand for?
RAM = Random Access Memory; ROM = Read Only Memory; BIOS = Basic Input Output System.
What do the abbreviations USB, HTTP, and HTML stand for?
USB = Universal Serial Bus; HTTP = HyperText Transfer Protocol; HTML = HyperText Markup Language.
What do the abbreviations PDF, GUI, and OS stand for?
PDF = Portable Document Format; GUI = Graphical User Interface; OS = Operating System.
What do the abbreviations LAN, WAN, and ISP stand for?
LAN = Local Area Network; WAN = Wide Area Network; ISP = Internet Service Provider.
What this deck covers
The Computer Knowledge deck follows the IBPS RRB Computer Knowledge syllabus — 3 chapters and 12 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 21.3 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 119 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
