Q: 1 How many basic types of lists are there in HTML?

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 4

  4. 5

[ Option B ]

In HTML, a list is used to group related items so that content becomes more organized and readable. HTML provides three basic types of lists, each with its own semantic meaning and tags.
Unordered List (<ul>):

  • Used when the order of items does not matter.
  • Items are usually shown as bulleted points.

Ordered List (<ol>):

  • Used when the order matters.
  • Items are shown as numbered or lettered items.

Description List or Definition List (<dl>, <dt>, <dd>):

  • Used to show name–value or term–definition pairs.
  • Each term is marked by <dt> and its description by <dd>.

Q: 2 The main container for the HTML tags <tr>, <td>, and <th> is ________.

  1. <body>

  2. <group>

  3. <data>

  4. <table>

[ Option D ]

In HTML, the tags <tr> (Table Row), <td> (Table Data), and <th> (Table Header) are all used to define the structure of a table, and they must be enclosed within the <table> tag.
The <table> tag acts as the main container, inside which rows and cells are created to organize data in tabular form.

Q: 3 Consider the following HTML code
<table>
<tr><td>Name</td></tr>
<tr><td>Class</td></tr>
</table>
What will it print?

  1. A table with ONE row and TWO columns.

  2. A table with TWO rows and FOUR columns.

  3. A table with TWO rows and ONE column in each row.

  4. A table with ONE row and ONE column.

[ Option C ]

In HTML:

  • <table> defines a table.
  • <tr> defines a table row.
  • <td> defines a table cell (column).

In the given code, there are two <tr> tags, which means two rows.
Each row contains only one <td> tag, which means each row has only one column.
So the table structure becomes:

Name
Class

Q: 4 The correct sequence of HTML tags for starting a webpage is –

  1. Head, Title, HTML, Body

  2. HTML, Body, Title, Head

  3. Head, Title, HTML, Body

  4. HTML, Head, Title, Body

[ Option D ]

The correct and standard sequence of HTML tags to start a web page is:

  • <html> - The root element that wraps the entire HTML document.
  • <head> - Contains meta-information about the document like the title, scripts, and styles.
  • <title> - Specifies the title of the web page shown in the browser tab.
  • <body> - Contains the visible content that is displayed on the web page.

This sequence ensures proper structure and rendering of the web page in browsers.

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Page Title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- Displayable Content -->
  </body>
</html>

In HTML, a link between two web pages is called a hyperlink. Hyperlinks are created using the anchor tag, written as <a>. The <a> tag uses the href attribute to specify the destination page, for example:
<a href="surakumcq.html">Suraku MCQ</a>
So whenever you want to create a clickable link from one HTML page to another, you use the <a> tag.

  1. <a name= : "">A</a>

  2. <a> B </a>

  3. <a href="http://www.example.com">example</a>

  4. <a url= "http://www.example.com">example</a>

[ Option C ]

In HTML, a hyperlink is created using the <a> (anchor) tag. The href attribute specifies the URL of the page the link goes to. The text between the opening <a> and closing </a> tags is the clickable part that the user sees.

<a href="https://www.surakuacademy.com">Suraku Academy</a>

  1. <th>

  2. <td>

  3. <tr>

  4. <caption>

[ Option D ]

In HTML tables, the <caption> tag is used to provide a title or description for the table, and it allows nesting of other HTML tags such as <b>, <i>, <span>, etc. inside it for formatting and styling the description.

Q: 14 Closing tag is compulsory in all elements of

  1. HTML

  2. XML

  3. Both of the above

  4. None of the above

[ Option B ]

In XML (eXtensible Markup Language), every element must have a properly closed tag. XML is very strict about syntax rules. If a tag is opened, it must either be closed with a corresponding closing tag or be written as a self-closing tag.
E.g.:

  • Pair Tag: <name>Suresh Kulahry</name>
  • Self-Closing Tag : </name>

If a closing tag is missing, the XML document becomes invalid.
In contrast, HTML is more flexible. Some HTML elements do not require closing tags, such as:

  • <br>
  • <hr>
  • <img>

Browsers can often interpret HTML even if closing tags are missing. Therefore, closing tags are compulsory in XML, not in all HTML elements.
