Accountancy Part ADatabase Management System for Accounting

Select the default extension of MS Access (2007) file:

Answer & explanation

Correct answer: option 1

The correct answer is Option (1) → .accbd

Note 1: The NCERT exercise (MCQ 9) itself prints “.accbd”, a misprint for “.accdb”, the default extension of an Access 2007 file given in the book’s text; the paper took the option from that exercise.

Note 2: This question is from the pre-rationalised NCERT book. The topic is not there in the latest NCERT book (2026-27), but it is still in the CUET 2026 syllabus, so do not skip it.

NCERT (Pre-rationalised edition):
Exercises – “… 9. The default extension of MS Access (2007) file is : a. .accbd b. .exl c. .doc d. .exe”

NCERT (Pre-rationalised edition):
Creating a Database – “… Also note that even if you do not type the default extension “.accdb” with the file name, it will be automatically added by the application.”
