QUESTION 5:
Which of the following is/are TRUE for Mobile Cloud Computing?
a) Facilitate quick development, delivery and management of mobile apps
b) Users requires large number of device resources
c) Supports limited number of development approaches and devices
d) Improves reliability with information backed up and stored in the cloud

Correct Answer: a, d
Detailed Solution: Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) facilitate quick development, delivery and
management of mobile apps. MCC improves reliability with information backed up and stored in
the cloud.

c) higher, less
d) higher, large
Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution: Fog Computing has lower probability to attack on data enrouter and required
large number of server nodes than Cloud Computing.

QUESTION 7:
What is/are TRUE about Mobile Cloud Computing(MCC)?
a) MCC should increase the mobile’s battery lifetime by reducing power consumption
b) MCC should optimize the cost of network usage and server usage
c) MCC should take longer time to finish the application compared to local execution
d) MCC should not bother about the security of data while offloading it to server
Correct Answer: a, b
Detailed Solution: MCC must reduce energy usage and extend battery life. It should not take
longer to finish the application compared to local execution. Cost of network usage and server
usage must be optimized. As offloading transfers data to the servers, MCC ensure confidentiality
and privacy of data, how to identify methods which process confidential data. So, the options (a)
and (b) are true about MCC.

QUESTION 8:
_________ ensures the ability to exchange / obtain the information to be
“consumed”.
a) Data Level Interoperability
b) Security Level Interoperability
c) Service Level Interoperability
d) None of the above

Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution: Service Level Interoperability ensures the ability to exchange
/ obtain the information to be “consumed”. So, the correct option is (c).

QUESTION 9:

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

c) Fog nodes’ response time is much higher than cloud server

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 10:
Which of the followings is/are feature(s) of Mobile Cloud Computing?
a) Use less mobile device resources because applications are cloud-supported
b) Reduce 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).
