Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is Arithmetic Logic Unit.

Key Points

•  Register
  • A register is a quickly accessible location available to a computer's processor.
  • Registers usually consist of a small amount of fast storage.
  • Some registers have specific hardware functions and may be read-only or write-only.
• ​Arithmetic Logic Unit.
  • Arithmetic Logic Unit is a combinational digital circuit.
  • It performs arithmetic and bitwise operations on integer binary numbers.
  • ALU can be designed to perform complex functions.

Additional Information

• Central processing unit
  • It is the main processor or it is electronic circuitry that executes instructions comprising a computer program.
  • The CPU performs basic arithmetic logic, controlling, and input/output operations specified by the instructions in the program.
  • The individual physical CPU processor cores can also be multithreaded to create additional virtual or logical CPUs.
• Control Unit
  • The control unit is a component of a computer's central processing unit that directs the operation of the processor.
  • It tells the computer's memory, arithmetic logic unit.
  • The control unit may include a binary counter to tell the control unit's logic what step it should do.
• Memory unit
  • A memory unit is a component of a computer system.
  • It is used to store data, instruction and information.
  • It is also known as a main/primary/internal memory.
  • There are two types of memory-:
    1. Read only memory.
    2. Random-access memory.

The correct answer is Cache memory.

• ​Cache memory is a high-speed storage area for temporary storage.
  • It is the smaller and fastest memory component in the computer.
  • It is used during the reading and writing processes from the disk.
  • It acts as a buffer between RAM and the CPU.

Additional Information

• Flash drive is popularly known as a pen drive.
• A pen drive is also called a USB flash drive.
  • It is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface.
•  The RAM is a read/write memory.
  • The CPU can change the contents of the RAM at any time.
  • RAM is volatile.
• Read-Only Memory (ROM) is non-volatile and retains its information even after the power is turned off.

The correct answer is Machine Language.

Key Points

• Low-level languages are also known as Machine Language.
• A low-level programming language is a programming language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture commands or functions in the language map closely to processor instructions.
• Generally, this refers to either machine code or assembly language.

Additional Information

• Examples of low-level programming languages:
  • C and C++ are now considered low-level languages because they have no automatic memory management. 
• Low-level languages were developed first, and high-level languages came along later.
• High-level languages are more easily understood by humans mostly coding languages like Java.

The correct answer is Shell.

Key Points

• Program
  • It is a collection of instructions that are executed by a computer to perform a specific task.
  • It is generally written by a computer programmer in a programming language.
• Shell
  • It is a program that interprets commands and acts as an intermediary between the user and the workings of the operating system.
  • It will give a prompt for the user to type in a command, take the command, execute it, and then waits for another command.

Additional Information

• Communications
  • Computer communications is a process, where two or more computers or devices transfer data, instructions, and information.
  • The most common examples are Email, SMS chat, Social Networks, etc.
• Thread
  • It is a single sequence stream within processes.
  • Threads are executed one after another but give the illusion as if they are executing in parallel.
• File Modification
  • It refers to modifying the file and folder and it can be only be done by the administrator for a computer or the owner of a file or folder.

The correct answer is Terabyte.

• Among the options, Terabyte represents the largest amount of data.

​Key Points

• The memory of a computer is usually measured in bytes.
• Tera-represents the fourth power of 1000.
• A Terabyte is more precisely defined as 1,024 gigabytes.
• 1 TB equals 1,024 gigabytes (GB).
• The storage capacity of a hard disc is measured in Megabytes, Gigabytes, and Terabytes.
   

Additional Information

• Bit is the smallest unit of memory.
• Bit is the short form of Binary digit.
• Half byte is known as nibble.
  • 1 Nibble = 4 bits.
  • 1 Byte = 8 bits.
  • 1 Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes.
  • 1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobyte.
  • 1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabyte.
  • 1 Terabyte = 1024 Gigabyte in binary or (1 Gb in decimal).
