Hints & Solutions
1. Solution (1) in the form of 0s & 1s. Computer is a programmable
Charles Babbage is known as the father of electronic device that stores, retrieves, and
computers. He with his experiment made a processes the data.
revolutionary change which digitalized the Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
calculation for the first time ever.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1. 5. Solution (3)
Intelligence is not the property of the computer. It
2. Solution (1) works on the commands provided.
Commonly Operated Machine Used in Technical Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
and Educational Research is the correct
abbreviation for the term “COMPUTER”. 6. Solution (3)
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1. The time span between the moment a computer
requests that data be transferred from a disc system
3. Solution (3) to the primary storage and the moment the
First generation of computers used Vacuum Tubes procedure is finished is known as Disk Access
as the main component of the system. It had a time Time.
period of 1940-56. Examples – ENIAC, UNIVAC, Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
EDVAC etc.
Second generation of computers used Transistors as 7. Solution (2)
the main component of the system. It had a time A digitizer serves the purpose given in the question.
period of 1956-63. Examples–IBM 1620, UNIVAC Digitizers are generally used in the area of
1108 etc. Computer-Aided Design by architects and
Third generation of computers used Integrated engineers to design cars, buildings, etc.
Circuits as the main component of the system. It had Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
a time period of 1964-71. Examples – Honeywell,
IBM 360 etc. 8. Solution (1)
Fourth generation of computers used Large Scale It is a personal assistance package that allows for
Integration and Very Large-Scale Integration as the the same. It helps in planning and managing their
main components of the system. It had a time period schedules, contacts, finances, and inventory of
of 1971-2010. Examples – Star -10000, PDP-11, important terms.
Cray-1(Supercomputer) etc. Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
Fifth generation of computers used Ultra Large-
Scale Integration as the main component of the 9. Solution (1)
system. It had a time period of 2010-present. This happens in time-sharing. In this, users were
Examples – Desktops, Laptops, Notebooks etc. able to interact with the computer and could share
Hence, the correct answer is option 3. its information processing resources.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
4. Solution (4)
Computer is a machine or device that can be 10. Solution (4)
programmed to perform arithmetic or logic There are three types of computers basically on the
operation sequences automatically. Computer basis of operation: Analog, Digital, and Hybrid.
understands only binary language which is written Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
