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 GUI and how does it differ from a CLI?
GUI (Graphical User Interface) lets users interact via icons, windows, and a mouse (e.g., Windows). CLI (Command Line Interface) requires typing text commands (e.g., MS-DOS, Linux terminal).
What is 'booting' and what is the difference between cold and warm booting?
Booting is the process of starting a computer and loading the OS into memory. Cold boot starts the computer from a powered-off state; warm boot restarts an already-running computer (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+Del).
What is virtual memory?
Virtual memory is a memory-management technique that uses part of the secondary storage (hard disk) as an extension of RAM, allowing the system to run programs larger than physical RAM.
Classify these into low-level and high-level languages: Python, Assembly, Machine code, Java, C++.
Low-level: Machine code (binary) and Assembly language. High-level: Python, Java, C++ (closer to human language, machine-independent).
What is the difference between source code and object code?
Source code is the human-readable program written in a high-level language. Object code is the machine-readable code produced after the source code is compiled/translated.
In MS Word, what is the keyboard shortcut to make text bold, italic, and underlined?
Bold = Ctrl+B, Italic = Ctrl+I, Underline = Ctrl+U.
What is the default file extension of MS Word documents (2007 and later)?
.docx (earlier versions used .doc). The 'x' indicates the XML-based Open format.
In MS Word, what shortcuts perform Copy, Cut, Paste, and Undo?
Copy = Ctrl+C, Cut = Ctrl+X, Paste = Ctrl+V, Undo = Ctrl+Z (Redo = Ctrl+Y).
In MS Excel, what is a cell, and how is its address (reference) written?
A cell is the intersection of a row and a column. Its address is written as the column letter followed by the row number, e.g., A1, B5, C10.
In MS Excel, write the formula to add the values in cells A1 through A10.
=SUM(A1:A10). All Excel formulas begin with an equals sign (=).
What are the MS Excel functions for average, count of numbers, maximum, and minimum?
=AVERAGE(range) for average, =COUNT(range) for counting numeric cells, =MAX(range) for the largest value, and =MIN(range) for the smallest value.
What is the default file extension of an MS Excel workbook (2007 and later)?
.xlsx (earlier versions used .xls). A workbook contains multiple worksheets.
In MS PowerPoint, what is the keyboard shortcut to start a slideshow from the beginning?
F5 starts the slideshow from the beginning; Shift+F5 starts from the current slide. Esc ends the slideshow.
What is the default file extension of an MS PowerPoint presentation (2007 and later)?
.pptx (earlier versions used .ppt). A single page is called a 'slide'.
What is the difference between a 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 regions/countries (the Internet is the largest WAN).
Name common network topologies.
Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, and Tree/Hybrid. Star topology connects all nodes to a central hub/switch and is the most common in LANs.
What is the difference between a hub, a switch, and a router?
A hub broadcasts data to all ports. A switch sends data only to the intended device (using MAC addresses). A router connects different networks and routes data between them (using IP addresses).
What is a protocol, and what does TCP/IP stand for?
A protocol is a set of rules governing data communication. TCP/IP = Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol, the basic communication suite of the Internet.
What is the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW)?
The Internet is a global network of interconnected computers (the infrastructure). The WWW is a system of interlinked hypertext documents (web pages) accessed via the Internet using browsers and HTTP.
What does a URL contain, and what do HTTP and HTTPS stand for?
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a web address (protocol + domain + path). HTTP = HyperText Transfer Protocol; HTTPS = HTTP Secure (encrypted using SSL/TLS).
Differentiate between a virus, a worm, and a Trojan horse.
A virus attaches to a file and needs user action to spread. A worm is standalone and self-replicates across networks without user action. A Trojan horse disguises itself as legitimate software to gain access.
What is phishing in cyber security?
Phishing is a fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information (passwords, card details) by impersonating a trustworthy entity, usually via fake emails, messages, or websites.
What is a firewall, and what is the difference between authentication and encryption?
A firewall is a security system that monitors and controls network traffic based on rules. Authentication verifies a user's identity (e.g., password/OTP). Encryption converts data into a coded form to prevent unauthorized reading.
Expand these banking-technology abbreviations: NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI, IFSC.
NEFT = National Electronic Funds Transfer; RTGS = Real Time Gross Settlement; IMPS = Immediate Payment Service; UPI = Unified Payments Interface; IFSC = Indian Financial System Code.
What this deck covers
The Computer Knowledge deck follows the RBI Assistant Computer Knowledge syllabus — 4 chapters and 14 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 12.8 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 147 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.
