  1. In a 14" TV or computer monitor, the dimension of 14" stands for
    1. the length of the screen
    2. the breadth of the screen
    3. the diagonal of the screen
    4. the maximum length of the screen
Correct Option: C

The size of a display is usually by monitor manufacturers given by the diagonal, i.e. the distance between two opposite screen corners. This method of measurement is inherited from the method used for the first generation of CRT television, when picture tubes with circular faces were in common use. Being circular, only their diameter was needed to describe their size. Since these circular tubes were used to display rectangular images, the diagonal measurement of the rectangle was equivalent to the diameter of the tube’s face.
