b. Statement 2 is Correct, but Statement 1 is Incorrect.
c. Both statements are Correct.
d. Both statements are Incorrect
Correct Answer: c

Detailed Solution: Both statements are correct regarding Geospatial Cloud concept. So, the correct
option is (c). Refer to Lecture 35.

QUESTION 4:
Which of the following statements is false about Code offloading using cloudlet?
Statement 1: The architecture reduces latency by using multi-hop network.
Statement 2: It potentially lowers battery consumption by using short range radio.
a. Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is incorrect
b. Statement 2 is correct but Statement 1 is incorrect
c. Both the statements are correct
d. Both the statements are incorrect.

Correct Answer: b

Detailed Solution: The architecture reduces latency by using a single-hop network and potentially
lowers battery consumption by using Wi-Fi or short range radio. So, the correct option is (b).
Lecture 32, 20:40.
QUESTION 5:

Which of the following is/are a feature(s) of Mobile Cloud Computing?

a) Uses lesser mobile device resources because applications are cloud-supported

b) Reduces reliability with information backed up and stored in the cloud
c) Mobile devices connect to services delivered through an API architecture
d) Facilitates slower development, delivery and management of mobile apps

Correct Answer: a, c
Detailed Solution: Mobile cloud computing features are: Facilitates the quick development,
delivery and management of mobile apps. Uses fewer device resources because applications are
cloud-supported. Mobile devices connect to services delivered through an API architecture.
Improves reliability with information backed up and stored in the cloud. So, the correct options are
(a) and (c). Lecture 31, 13:14.

QUESTION 6:
Which of the following statement(s) is/are FALSE about Fog Computing?

a) Fog nodes present near to the end-user

b) Fog computing enables real-time applications
c) Fog nodes’ response time is much higher than Cloud’s
d) Network routers, WiFi Gateways will not be capable of running applications

Correct Answer: c, d
Detailed Solution: Fog nodes present near to the end-user, Fog computing use for real-time
applications, Fog nodes’ response time is much lower than cloud server, network routers, WiFi
Gateways will be capable of running applications. So, the correct options are (c), (d).

QUESTION 7:
Which of the following options is correct about geographic information?
Statement 1: Geographic information could be static or dynamic.
Statement 2: Geographic information varies in scale.
Statement 3: Population of a city/town is a static geographic information
a. Statement 1 & 2 are True, but Statement 3 is False.
b. Statement 2 & 3 are True, but Statement 1 is False.
c. Statement 1& 3 are True, but Statement 2 is False.
d. All the statements are True.

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution: Population of a city is a dynamic geographic information. Lecture 35, 5:54.

_______.

a) One Hop, Multiple Hop

b) One Hop, One Hop
c) Multiple Hop, One Hop
d) Multiple Hop , Multiple Hop

Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution: Distance between the client and server in Cloud Computing is of multiple hop
and Fog computing is one hop. Refer Lecture 34.

QUESTION 10:
Match the following tables related to Mobile Cloud Computing key components:
Table – I Table – II

Table – I Table – II

1. Profiler i. Collects results of split execution and

2. Solver combine, and make the execution
3. Synchronizer details transparent to the user

ii. Monitors application execution to collect

data about execution time, power

consumption, network traffic
iii. The task of selecting which parts of an app
runs on mobile and cloud

a. 1. -> (ii), 2. -> (iii), 3. -> (i)

b. 1. -> (iii), 2. -> (i), 3. -> (ii)
c. 1. -> (i), 2. -> (ii), 3. -> (iii)
d. 1. -> (ii), 2. -> (i), 3. -> (iii)
Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution:
Profiler monitors application execution to collect data about the time to execute, power
consumption, network traffic. Solver has the task of selecting which parts of an app runs on
mobile and cloud. Task of synchronizer modules is to collect results of split execution and
combine, and make the execution details transparent to the user. So, the correct option is (a).
