Question 1
Which property is used to change the background color ?
1. background-color
2. bgcolor
3. bg-color
4. color
Answer
background-color
Reason — The background-color property is used to change the background color of an element. For
example,
h1 {background-color : yellow; }
Question 2
Which property is used to increase and decrease the text size ?
1. font-width
2. font-size
3. text-width
4. text-size
Answer
font-size
Reason — font-size property is used to increase and decrease the text size in the following way:
h3 {font-size : 8pt; }
Question 3
What would this CSS rule do ?
p { color:red;
}
1. Make the background of all paragraphs red.
2. Make the fonts of all paragraphs red.
3. Make all text boxes red.
4. Make the border of all paragraphs red.
Answer
Make the fonts of all paragraphs red.
Reason — The breakup of the rule is as follows:
p is a selector in CSS, which targets all <p> elements. In HTML, <p> elements represent
paragraphs.
{} encloses the declaration block, which contains one or more property-value pairs.
color:red; is a property-value pair within the declaration block. Here,
the color property is set to red, which means the text color of all <p> elements will be
changed to red.
So, applying this CSS rule to an HTML page would result in all paragraphs being displayed with red
text color.
Question 4
What would this CSS rule do ?
h2 { font-size:2em;
}
1. Make fonts in a specific h2 tag double in size.
2. Make fonts in all h2 tags double in size.
3. Make fonts in all h2 tags double in size and italic.
4. Make all fonts that are size 2, empty.
Answer
Make fonts in all h2 tags double in size.
Reason — The breakup of the rule is as follows:
h2 is a selector in CSS, which targets all <h2> elements. In HTML, <h2> represents a
heading level 2.
{} encloses the declaration block, which contains one or more property-value pairs.
font-size:2em; is a property-value pair within the declaration block. Here, the font-
size property is set to 2em. The value 2em means the font size will be twice the size of the
default font size.
So, applying this CSS rule to an HTML page would result in all heading level 2 elements (<h2>) being
displayed with a font size that is twice the default font size.
Question 5
How do you link an external stylesheet to a page.
1. <link href='somefile.css'>
2. <link rel='stylesheet' src='somefile.css'>
3. <script rel='stylesheet' href=' somefile.css'> </script>
4. <link rel='stylesheet' href='somefile.css'>
Answer
<link rel='stylesheet' href='somefile.css'>
Reason — The correct syntax is explained below:
<link> is an HTML tag used to include external resources, such as stylesheets.
rel='stylesheet' is an attribute that specifies the relationship between the current
document and the linked resource. In this case, it indicates that the linked resource is a
stylesheet.
href='somefile.css' is the attribute that specifies the location (URL or file path) of
the external CSS file. In this case, it points to a file named "somefile.css".
By using this <link> tag with the correct attributes, we can connect an external CSS file (such as
"somefile.css") to our HTML document, allowing the styles defined in the CSS file to be applied to the
web page.
Question 6
Which one of these name and value declarations would not work ?
1. margin:20px 0 0 30%;
2. margin;20px 30%:
3. margin:20px 30%;
4. margin:20px 23px 5% 30px;
Answer
margin;20px 30%:
Reason — In CSS, declarations follow the format of property: value;. The value is assigned to
the corresponding property, separated by a colon : and terminated by a semicolon ;.
The option margin;20px 30%: has an incorrect syntax. The semicolon ; should be a
colon : before the value and the colon : at the end should be a semicolon ;.

Question 14
What is CSS style rule? How do you define it ?
Answer
A CSS rule is a single statement in a style sheet that identifies what should be styled (the selector) and
how those styles should be applied (the declaration).
We define a rule by writing the selector tag without angle brackets. The properties and their values are
written in the following syntax:
selector { propertyname : value ; propertyname : value ; ...}
For example, if we want <H3 tag to have font face Arial and red color then we define the style rule as
follows:
h3 { font.family : Arial ; color : red ; }
Question 15
What are three ways of creating style rules? Give examples of each.
Answer
The three ways of creating style rules are as follows:
1. Inline — Styles are embedded right within the HTML code they affect. For example,
<h3 style = "font.family = Arial ; color = red ">
2. Internal — Styles are placed within the header information of the web page and then affect all the
corresponding tags on the page. For example,
<HEAD>
<STYLE TYPE = "TEXT/CSS">
h3 { font.family : Arial ; color : red ; }
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
3. External — Styles are coded in a separate document, which is then referenced from within the
header of the actual web page. For example, let there be a CSS file named sample.css :
h3 { font.family : Arial ; color : red ; }
p { font.family : Times New Roman ; color : blue ; }
...and so on...
To link sample.css file to an HTML document, we use the <link tag in the following manner:
<HEAD>
<LINK REL = "STYLE SHEET" TYPE = "TEXT/CSS" HREF = "SAMPLE.CSS">
</HEAD>
Question 16
What is the Cascading order of different style types ?

Question 17
Where do you place the code to associate a Web page with an external style sheet ?
Answer
To associate a Web page with an external style sheet, we place the code in the head tag in the following
manner :
<HEAD>
<LINK REL = "STYLE SHEET" TYPE = "TEXT/CSS" HREF = "SAMPLE.CSS">
</HEAD>
where, sample.css is the name of the CSS file.
