31. The device by which data are transferred by telephone with the help of binary signals is – [U.P.P.C.S. (Pre) 2002 , U.P.P.C.S. (Mains) 2007]

Correct Answer: (a) Modem
Solution:

Modem, short for Modulator/Demodulator, is a hardware device that allows  a computer to send and receive information over telephone line by converting digital signal into an analog signal and analog into digital. Thus, modem perform modulation and its is required for sending and receiving data between computers around the world through telephone lines.

32. Which of the following performs, modulation and demodulation? [Chhattisgarh P.C.S. (Pre) 2019]

Correct Answer: (c) Modem
Solution:

Modem, short for Modulator/Demodulator, is a hardware device that allows  a computer to send and receive information over telephone line by converting digital signal into an analog signal and analog into digital. Thus, modem perform modulation and demodulation, its  required for sending and receiving data between computers around the world through telephone lines.

35. A modem converts: [M.P.P.C.S. (Pre) 2017]

Correct Answer: (c) Both (A) and (B)
Solution:

MODEM stands for MOdulator- DEModulator. It's a device that converts digital signals from the computer into analog signals suitable for transmission over telephone lines (modulation) and vice versa (demodulation). This allows computers to communicate with each other or access the internet using the telephone network.

36. Such a device which converts data into impulses and transmits it through a terminal to a computer or computer to terminal over telephone line, it is: [U.P. Lower Sub. (Pre) 2013, U.P.U.D.A/L.D.A. (Pre) 2002]

Correct Answer: (d) Modem
Solution:A modem is the device that performs this crucial conversion between the digital data of a computer and the analog signals that can be transmitted over a telephone line. It modulates the digital data into impulses for transmission and demodulates incoming impulses back into digital data that the computer can understand.

37. A modem is a hardware device that interfaces: [Uttarakhand Lower Sub. (Pre) 201 , Uttrakhand U.D.A/L.D.A. (Mains) 2006]

Correct Answer: (d) Telephone lines and computer equipment.
Solution:

Modem, short for Modulator/Demodulator, is a hardware device that allows  a computer to send and receive information over telephone line by converting digital signal into an analog signal and analog into digital. Thus, modem perform modulation and its is required for sending and receiving data between computers around the world through telephone lines.
