Question : A supercomputer would be used for which one of the following applications?
Option 1: Business computing
Option 2: Desktop publishing
Option 3: Weather forecasting
Option 4: Computer-aided designing
Correct Answer: Weather forecasting
Solution : The correct option is weather forecasting.
A supercomputer would be utilised for weather forecasting.

Question : Which type of insulator is used in high-voltage applications?
Option 1: Suspension type
Option 2: Pin type
Option 3: Strain type
Option 4: Post type
Correct Answer: Suspension type
Solution : The correct option is the Suspension type
High-voltage gearboxes use suspension-type insulators. Porcelain discs joined together and can transmit larger voltages from suspension-type insulators. Straight-running transmission lines employ pin-type insulators. Bridges over rivers are examples of significant mechanical strains that handle strain-type insulators, which are suspension insulators suspended horizontally. Post-type insulators have a strong defence against punctures.
