Question 4 Explanation: 
 
1.TRUE- XML is a structured way of 
         organizing content.
2.FALSE- XML is CASE SENSITIVE whereas 
          HTML is NOT case sensitive. 
3.TRUE- XML facilitates User Defined tags
        whereas HTML has only Pre-Defined
        tags 
4.FALSE- XML tags MUST be closed while HTML 
         tags may NOT be closed.




Question 5
In a web server, ten WebPages are stored with the URLs of the form http://www.yourname.com/var.html; where, var is a different number from 1 to 10 for each Webpage. Suppose, the client stores the Webpage with var = 1 (say W1) in local machine, edits and then tests. Rest of the WebPages remains on the web server. W1 contains several relative URLs of the form “var.html” referring to the other WebPages.

Which one of the following statements needs to be added in W1, so that all the relative URLs in W1 refer to the appropriate WebPages on the web server?
A
<a.href: “http://www.yourname.com/”, href: “...var.html”>
B
<base href: “http://www.yourname.com/”>
C
<a.href: “http://www.yourname.com/”>
D
<base href: “http://www.yourname.com/”, range: “...var.html”>

Question 6
Consider an XML file called intro.xml and a document type definition (DTD) file intro.dtd as follows:


intro.xml


<?xml version = "1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE myMessage SYSTEM "intro.dtd"›

<myMessage>

<message>Welcome to XML</message>

</myMessage>

intro.dtd

<! ELEMENT myMessage (message)>

<! ELEMENT message (#PCDATA)>


A validating parser will classify intro.xml as


A


Well-formed and validated


B


Well-formed but not validated


C


Validated but not well-formed

Question 6 Explanation: 
 

The difference between well-formed and valid XML is simple: Valid XML has a DTD associated with it and has been verified against all the rules contained in the DTD in addition to being well-formed. Merely well-formed XML, on the other hand, is not necessarily valid, although it may be. In order to know the rules for a well formed document click here


Question 7
Given below are several usages of the anchor tag in HTML.

    
	
  1. 

    <A HREF = "http://www.gate.ac.in/HTML/BASIC/testpage.html">Test Me</A>
    

    2. 
	
  2. 

    <A HREF = "/BASIC/testpage.html">Test Me</A>
    

    3. 
	
  3. 

    <A HREF = "testpage.html">Test Me</A>
    

    4. 
	
  4. 

    <A HREF = "testpage.html#test">Test Me</A>
    

    5. 


Which of the above are valid?
A
I and II only
B
I and III only
C
I, II and III only
D
I, II, III and IV

Question 7 Explanation: 
 
I is valid because the link given in href tag is a valid link. 
The link given is an absolute url and hence holds correct.



II is valid because the link given in href tag is relative url. 
It redirects the user corresponding to the domain name of the current page. 
If you are on domain name of geeksforgeeks as http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/ 
then it will take you to http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/BASIC/testpage.html and 
if you are on http://google.com/ then it will take you 
to http://google.com/BASIC/testpage.html



III is valid because it takes you to the page corresponding to the 
current url of the page. Please note that if we use / before testpage.html, 
then it is respect to domain not the complete url.



IV is valid because it takes you to the container with class/name as 
test on the same page.
Question 8
Consider the three commands : PROMPT, HEAD and RCPT.
Which of the following options indicate a correct association of these commands with protocols where these are used?

B

D

Question 8 Explanation: 
 PROMPT-  Toggles prompting. Ftp prompts during multiple file transfers to allow you to selectively retrieve or store files  //Used for FTP transfers

HEAD- The <head> element can include a title for the document, scripts, styles, meta information, and more //Used in HTML to transfer data across HTTP protocol

RCPT- You tell the mail server who the recipient of your message is by using the RCPT command //Related to mail so,SMTP

 
Question 9


A HTML form is to be designed to enable purchase of office stationery. Required items are to be selected (checked). Credit card details are to be entered and then the submit button is to be pressed.

A


Only GET


B


Only POST


C


Either of GET or POST


D


Neither GET nor POST

Question 9 Explanation: 
 

Reasons: GET is NOT SECURE, whatever data you transfer is goes as part of URI and that's why it's visible to whole world, you can not send any confidential data using this method. POST sends data as part of HTTP request body, which can be encrypted using SSL and TLS. This is the reason all confidential data from client to server is transferred using POST method e.g. username and password when you login to internet banking, or any online portal.

</Book>
<Book>
<type value = "FICTION"/>
<accno>0024154807</accno>
</Book>



Given below are several possible excerpts from "library.dtd". For which excerpt would the above specification be valid?




A
<!ELEMENT Book (title+, type, accno)>
<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT type EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST type value (BROCHURE/FICTION/TECHNICAL)>
