• Internet Protocol:
  • Internet Protocol (IP) is a set of rules that govern how data is sent and received over the internet.
  • It functions by assigning a unique address to each device connected to the internet, known as an IP address.
  • IP is responsible for routing data packets from the source to the destination, ensuring that the data reaches the correct recipient.

The correct answer is Optical Character Recognition
Key Points

• OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, is a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files, or images captured by a camera, into editable and searchable data.
• OCR software identifies characters (letters, numbers, symbols) in the text and digitally replicates them so they can be edited or processed by a computer.
• How it works:
  • Image Capture: An image or a scanned document containing text is input to the OCR system.
  • Character Detection: OCR software analyzes the image, breaking it down into light and dark areas to identify characters.
  • Recognition Process: Using pattern recognition, machine learning, or neural networks, OCR identifies individual characters and converts them into corresponding text.
  • Text Output: The recognized text is output in a format that can be edited, such as a Word document or a plain text file.
  • Applications of OCR include converting physical books to digital text, automating data entry, and enabling digital searching of text in scanned documents.

URL:

• URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and is used to specify addresses on the World Wide Web.
• A URL is the fundamental network identification for any resource connected to the web (like images or sound files).

A URL has the following format:

The extension '.temp' is used for temporary files. 

Temporary files:

• It is also known as a foo file, a temporary file, or temp file
• When a file is being created or modified this type of file is created to hold information only.
• Temporary files are used to store and move data, manage settings, help recover lost data, and manage multiple users. 
• The temporary file remains in existence until the program is closed.
• The name of the file varies on the program or opening system used. For example, Microsoft word uses a tilde and a dollar sign (e.g., ~$example.doc) for a temporary file, Programs in Linux use '.foo' file extension.​

The correct answer is Fiber Distributed Data Interface

Key Points

• Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is a standard for data transmission that utilizes a fiber optic cable. It was developed in the mid-1980s by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to exploit the high-speed capabilities of fiber optics in local area networks (LANs).
• FDDI was primarily used as a high-speed backbone technology due to its support for high bandwidth. It operates over a dual ring network — meaning, it has a primary and a secondary communication ring. Information typically flows on the primary ring in one direction, with the secondary ring serving as a backup in case of a primary ring failure, hence the term "dual" in its name.
• FDDI uses a token ring protocol to control access to the network and allows data to be transmitted at speeds of up to 100 mbps up to 200 kilometers. It has mostly been superseded in favor of newer, higher-speed technologies such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi, but its principles are still used and applicable in certain contexts.

The correct answer is Terabyte

Key Points

• A Terabyte (TB) is a unit of digital information storage that is commonly used to express data capacity for different kinds of computer or digital storage, such as hard drives, SSDs, and memory cards.
• To provide some context, one terabyte is equivalent to 1024 gigabytes (GB), or 1,073,741,824 kilobytes (KB), or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, given that digital storage is typically calculated in base 2.
• Some sectors like disk storage and data transmission may measure a terabyte as 1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000) bytes, based on the decimal system, but the base-2 representation is more common in terms of computer memory and file sizes.

Option 3 is correct, i.e. Basic Input Output System.

• BIOS (basic input/output system) is the program a personal computer's microprocessor uses to get the computer system started after you turn it on.
• It also manages data flow between the computer's operating system and attached devices such as the hard disk, video adapter, keyboard, mouse and printer.
• BIOS is a firmware, in short. It is stored on a chip on a part of the computer motherboard and is basically a set of instructions that run to help load the operating system.

The technology powering the display on your phone or even your TV is a lot different than it was even ten years ago. From phones to TVs, the screens used could be either a display based on OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology or LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology.

Liquid Crystal Display:

• LCD stands for “Liquid Crystal Display”.
• It is a combination of two states of matter, the solid and the liquid. LCD uses a liquid crystal to produce a visible image.
• LCD’s technologies allow displays to be much thinner when compared to a cathode ray tube (CRT) technology.
• It is composed of several layers which include two polarized panel filters and electrodes.
• These screens work on the principle of blocking light rather than emitting light. LCD’s requires backlight as they do not emit light by them.
• Most of the electronic devices mainly depend on liquid crystal display technology for their display.

Hence, it can be concluded from the given points that the acronym LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display.

The correct answer is

Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) :

• In computing, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a combinational digital circuit that performs arithmetic and bitwise operations on integer binary numbers.
• This is in contrast to a floating-point unit (FPU), which operates on floating-point numbers.
• It is a fundamental building block of many types of computing circuits, including the central processing unit (CPU) of computers, FPUs, and graphics processing units (GPUs)

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS):

• UPS, or in its long-form, uninterruptible power supply, is a power supply that contains a battery that keeps IT running once power is lost.
• UPSs also have the capability to help reduce the impact of power surges.
• Hence, statement II that UPS stands for Uniform Power Source is incorrect.

ATM is an electronic banking terminal that enables consumers to conduct simple transactions without the assistance of a teller or branch personnel.

Key Points

• ATM stands for Automated Teller Machine. 
• ATMs are convenient because they allow customers to do self-service operations.
• The first ATM was installed in a Barclay's Bank branch in London in 1970.
• It connects through Interbank communications networks which were developed in the 1970s. 
• Atm performs several functions such as cash dispense, paying routine bills, fees, and taxes, updating passbooks, printing or ordering bank statements, etc.

​Thus, In electronic banking, ATM stands for Automated Teller Machine.

Additional Information

Component of ATMS: 

• Card reader
• Keypad
• Printer
• Cash dispenser
• Screen

Key Points

The expansion of csv - Comma Separated Variables  is incompatible.

Comma Separated Values:

• The acronym "csv" stands for Comma Separated Values, not Comma Separated Variables as mentioned in the option.
• Comma Separated Values is a plain text file format used to store and exchange tabular data, where each value is separated by a comma.
• It is a simple and widely supported file format for data storage and data exchange between different software applications.

On the other hand, the expansions of the other options are compatible with their respective acronyms:

• rtf - Rich Text Format: RTF is an acronym for Rich Text Format, which is a document file format that allows for the formatting of text and images. It is a widely used format that preserves the formatting and layout of a document, making it compatible across different word processing software.
• pdf - Portable Document Format: PDF stands for Portable Document Format, which is a file format used for presenting documents in a manner that is independent of the software, hardware, or operating system being used. PDF files can contain text, images, and other elements and are widely used for sharing documents electronically.
• png - Portable Network Graphics: PNG is an acronym for Portable Network Graphics, which is a file format for storing raster graphics (bitmap images). It supports lossless compression and is commonly used for displaying images on the web. PNG files can have transparent backgrounds and support a wide range of colors.

Therefore, the incompatible pair is option 1) csv - Comma Separated Variables.
