1. UNIVAC is
Explanation: There are no computers with the name as in other options. UNIVAC was the first general purpose
electronic digital computer designed for commercial use, produced by Universal Accounting Company of John
Mauchly and J.P.Eckert in 1951.
Explanation: There are no objects with the name as in other options. CD-ROM is a non-volatile optical data storage
medium using the same physical format as audio compact disk, readable by a computer with a CD-ROM drive. The
standard 12 cm diameter CD-ROM store about 660 megabytes.
3. ALU is
Explanation: ALU is a unit in Central Processing Unit in a computer system that is responsible for arithmetic
calculations and logical operations. Apart from ALU, the CPU contains MU (Memory Unit) and CU (Control Unit).
4. VGA is
Explanation: VGA is a type of Graphics Adapter. Graphic Adapter is an electronic board that controls the display of a
monitor. This device helps the motherboard to work with the monitor and in VGA and SVGA the last letter ‘A’ stands
for ‘Array’ whereas in MDA, CGA, MCGA the last letter ‘A’ stands for ‘Adapter’.
5. IBM 1401 is
Explanation: After the invention of IC chips the development of computers plunged into next phase. Small Scale
Integration and Medium Scale Integration (SSI and MSI) were used in third generation of computers and Large Scale
Integration and Very Large Scale Integration (LSI and VLSI) are being used in fourth generation of computers. People
are now expecting ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) Circuits to be used for fifth generation computers.
Explanation: Microfloppy disks (3.5 inch) if it is high density (MF2HD) can store 1.44 MB and if it is low density
(MF2DD), it can store 720 KB. Mini Floppy disks (5.25 inch) if it is high density (MD2HD) can store 1.2 MB and low
density (MD2DD) stores 360 KB of data.
Explanation: IBM 1401, a second generation computer was brought in Nepal by the Government of Nepal paying One
Lakh and twenty five thousands per month to use in the census in 2028 B.S. Before this computer, Nepal was using a
calculating device called Facit for statistical tasks.
Explanation: There are three different classes of computer network namely, Local Area Network (LAN) that covers a
small geographical area such as a room, a building or a compound; Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) that has a
citywide coverage; and Wide Area Network (WAN) that covers the whole globe or beyond the globe.
Explanation: MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Reader) is kind of scanner that can scan and identify the writing of
magnetic ink. This device is used in banks to verify signatures in Checks.
Explanation: EBCDIC is an 8-bit binary code for larger IBMs primarily mainframes in which each byte represent
one alphanumeric character or two decimal digits. 256 characters can be coded using EBCDIC.
2. BCD is
Explanation: BCD is a binary coded notation in which each of the decimal digits is expressed as a 8-bit binary
numeral. For example in binary coded decimal notation 12 is 0001 0010 as opposed to 1100 in pure binary.
Explanation: ASCII is a code which converts characters – letters, digits, punctuations and control characters
such as Alt, Tab etc – into numeral form. ASCII code is used to represent data internally in micro-computers.
ASCII codes are 7 bits and can represent 0 to 127 and extended ASCII are 8 bits that represents 0 to 255.
Explanation: IBM-1401, CDC-1604 is second generation computer. ICL-2900 is a fourth generation computer.
EDSAC is important in the development of computer since it was the first computer to use John von. Neumann’s
Stored Program Concept. It used 3000 vacuum tubes and computers with vacuum tubes are of first generation
computers.
Explanation: Transistors were used for second generation computers and integrated circuits in third
generation. First generation computers used vacuum tubes and valves as their main electronic component.
Vacuum Tubes were invented by Lee DeForest in 1908.
6. FORTRAN is
Explanation: FORTRAN (Formula Translation) is one of the earlier High Level programming languages used to
write scientific applications. It was developed by IBM in 1956.
Explanation: There are three types of ROM namely, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM. PROM can’t be
reprogrammed, EPROM can be erased by exposing it in high intensity ultraviolet light and EEPROM can be
erased and reprogrammed electrically. It is not needed to be removed from the computer to be modified.
Explanation: It is obvious that computers developed with more power, reliability, speed and smaller sizes due to
the enhancement of technology. First generation computers used 1000s of vacuum tubes that required lot of
space made them gigantic in size. Single transistor could replace 1000 vacuum tubes and a single IC chip
replaced 1000s of transistors made computers smaller and more speedy.

Plotter
A plotter is a computer printing device for printing vector graphics. In the past, plotters were widely used in applications such as computer-aided design, though they
have generally been replaced with wide-format conventional printers. It is now commonplace to refer to such wide-format printers as "plotters," even though they
technically aren't. Plotter produces best quality graphics output.
AT Computers
Computer having 80286, 80386, 80486, Pentium and the later processors are AT Computers. There were XT computers with 8080 and 8088 processors. Personal
System/2 or PS/2 was developed by IBM to capture the PC market by introducing advanced propritary architecture. However, its memory module, keyboard/mouse
port etc. became a defacto standard in later computers.
Sequential Processing
Sequential processing is a way of doing jobs where each job is done in serial fashion. Some application are sequential by nature such as playing songs or video.
You can't jump randomely to any position and play. For example lets take three tasks - calculate total, percentage and division. You should first calculate total and
use it in percentage and use the result to determine division. These three tasks are to be done sequentially. Similarly, processing of grades or payroll processing
both have to go through sequential processing.
Processing
Processing is called to something where we make some modification to the given data either by calculating or by arranging or ordering or anything that would
produce the result by manipulating the given data. So, calculating, arranging, manupulating are processing taks. Data collection (gathering) does not involve any
sort of converting one data into other form, so it is not processing.
Software
Software are the applications or computer programs that runs the hardware and perform required user jobs. Software enhances the capability of hardware, means it
can make a computer do what it was not doing earlier. For example after you install a new software, your computer is capable to perform a new job. However,
software can't increase speed of CPU or space of RAM etc.
Sorting is the task of arranging data in required order - ascending or descending by numbers or alphabets.

7.Pick the one that is used for logical operations or comparisons such as less than equal to or greater than.
a.Arithmetic and Logic Unit
b.Control Unit
c.Both of above
d.None of above
Answers:
Explanation: Today’s computer fall under the fourth generation computers that uses the LSI and VLSI
Integrated Circuits. For fifth generation computers it is expected for Ultra Large Scale Integrated Circuits
(ULSI). The study for using Gallium Arsenide instead of silicon chips is underway. Electrons can travel 5 times
faster in Gallium Arsenide compared to the silicon. Similarly, genetically engineered protein molecules are
being tried for processors. Fifth generation computers are expected to have artificial intelligence, ability to use
natural language.
Explanation: ‘A computer is a slave in a box’. This is a saying due to the lack of intelligence in computer in spite
of their speed, accuracy, diligence and reliability. A computer can only perform instructed task in the way
already programmed. Thus, scientists are trying to develop artificial intelligence in computers so that they can
think and make decisions themselves. This is expected for fifth generation computers.
3. Which operation is not performed by computer
Explanation: Computers can’t understand since they don’t have intelligence. Let’s hope in fifth generation they
will achieve artificial intelligence and be able to understand.
Explanation: Fifth Generation computers will have artificial intelligence and will be able to understand making
knowledge information processing system possible,
Explanation: Arithmetic logic and control unit along with memory unit forms a complete central processing unit
and central processing unit along with input/output unit forms a computer system.
Explanation: Control unit or arithmetic logical unit alone can not represent the function of brain
to compare with neither does storage unit only. Central Processing Unit is the combination of
control, arithmetic logic and memory units thus can be compared with brain that controls the body, processes
its functions and remembers.
7. Pick the one that is used for logical operations or comparisons such as less than equal to or greater than.
Explanation: Logical sub-unit of ALU performs all the comparisons such as less than equal to or greater
than. Arithmetic sub-unit of ALU performs calculations such as addition, subtraction and so on.
Explanation: Analog computers works on the continuous electrical pulses and digital computers work on the
discrete electrical pulses. Analog computers need to process physical quantities such as temperature, pressure,
speed etc.
Explanation: Automobile speed meter and clock with a dial and two hands are analog devices. Speed meter
works on speed of wheel and the later works on tension of dialed spring.
10. The computer that process both analog and digital is called
Explanation: Analog, Digital and Hybrid are the three classes of computers based on the work or principle on
which computer work. Hybrid computers can perform both the tasks of analog computers as well as hybrid
computers. These computers are used in aircraft, hospitals where measuring physical quantities and converting
them into digital data to analyze is required.
