Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is BIOS.

BIOS is not a computer operating system.

Important Points

• BIOS (basic input/output system)
  • It is a program that is used by a computer's microprocessor to start the computer system after it is powered on.
  • It also manages data flow between the computer's operating system (OS) and attached devices, such as the hard disk, video adapter, keyboard, mouse and printer.

Key Points

• The Unix
  • A Unix family is a diverse group of operating systems, with sub-categories including System V, BSD, and Linux.
  • The name "UNIX" is a trademark of The Open Group which licenses it for use with any operating system that has been shown to conform to their definitions. 
• macOS 
  • It is an open core graphical operating system.
  • It is developed, and marketed, and sold by Apple Inc.
• Microsoft Windows
  • It is a family of proprietary operating systems designed by Microsoft Corporation.
  • It is primarily targeted at Intel architecture based computers.

Additional Information

• Operating system
  • An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware, software.
  • An operating system is a large and complex system.
  • OS system components include:
    • File,
    • Process,
    • Memory,
    • I/O device management.

Logic:

Wall, Roof, and Beam are parts of a Room.

But, 

House is a collection of Rooms.

Important PointsBeam means a long, sturdy piece of squared timber or metal used to support the roof or floor of a building.

Hence, house is the odd one out.

The correct answer is Single-User Operating System.

Important Points

• Single-User Operating System
  • Performs a single task for Single-user.
  • This operating system is designed to manage the computer so that one user can effectively do one thing at a time.
  • Examples include Microsoft Windows.

Additional Information

• The different types of Operating System:
• Batch Operating System
  • There is no direct communication between the computer and the OS.
  • There is an intermediate, the Operator.
  • The operator distributes the work into batches.
• Real-Time Operating System
  • The processing time is very small between the user’s command and the output such that there is no operator.
• Time-Sharing Operating System
  • Multiple people at various computers can use a program at the same time.
• Distributed Operating System
  • When two or more systems are connected to each other and one can open each other's files.
• Embedded Operating System
  • These special Operating systems are built into larger systems.
  • They are limited to single specific functions like an ATM.
• Network Operating System
  • They have one main server which is connected to other client servers.
  • It provides a secure operating system for working with multiple users.

The correct answer is Copper and Tin.
Key Points

• Bronze
  • Bronze is an alloy traditionally composed of copper and tin.
  • Bronze is of exceptional historical interest and still finds wide applications.
  • It was made before 3000 BC, though its use in artifacts did not become common until much later.
  • The proportions of copper and tin varied widely (from 67 to 95 percent copper in surviving artifacts), but, by the Middle Ages in Europe, certain proportions were known to yield specific properties.
  • An alloy described in an 11th-century Greek manuscript in the library of St. Mark’s, Venice, cites a proportion of one pound copper to two ounces of tin (8 to 1), approximately that used for bronze gunmetal in later times.
  • Some modern bronzes contain no tin at all, substituting other metals such as aluminum, manganese, and even zinc.

Additional Information

• Copper and Silver
  • The best-known copper-silver alloy is sterling, which is 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper.
  • In England sterling, silver is traditionally identified by the hallmark of a lion passant.
  • Coin silver is an alloy of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper.
  • For jewelry and ornaments, 85–90 percent silver (and the balance copper) is frequently used.
  • Dental alloys of 60–70 percent silver, 18–25 percent tin, 2–14 percent copper, and 0.5–2 percent zinc are amalgamated with varying quantities of mercury to form the filling materials for cavities in teeth.
• Copper and zinc
  • Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, of historical and enduring importance because of its hardness and workability.
  • The earliest brass was called calamine brass, which dates to Neolithic times.
  • It was probably made by the reduction of mixtures of zinc ores and copper ores.
  • In ancient documents, such as the Bible, the term brass is often used to denote bronze, the alloy of copper with tin.
• Copper and Lead
  • Leaded bronzes contain from 4 to 25 percent lead plus additions of copper and tin, and some copper-lead bearing alloys contain up to 40 percent lead.
  • All these bearing alloys are sufficiently soft so that lubrication failure does not result in damage to the bearing.
  • Lead-based bearing alloys are also known as lead-based babbitt metals or white metals.
  • These are usually antimonial lead with widely variable additions of tin or copper (or both) and arsenic to increase strength.
  • One such alloy is commonly used for railroad-car journal bearings, contains 86 percent lead, 9 percent antimony, and 5 percent tin.
  • Many alloys of lead and alkaline-earth metals, such as calcium and sodium, also are widely used as bearing materials.

Flood is overflow of water. In the same way, drought is a continuous dry period of weather.
