Question 140 of 319

Which of the following represents features of a computer?

I. It is constructed from electronics components.

II. It has self regeneration capability.

IlI. It has facility for storage of data and programs.

IV. It has provision for input and output data.

 

  • A. I, Il and ll only
  • B. I, II and IV only
  • C. I, IIl and IV only
  • D. II, Ill and IV only.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation
The correct option for the question regarding the features of a computer is C. I, III, and IV only. Let's break down each statement to understand why this is the correct answer and why the other options are incorrect. Analysis of Each Statement
  1. Statement I: It is constructed from electronic components.
  2. Explanation: This statement is true. Computers are built using various electronic components such as transistors, capacitors, resistors, and integrated circuits. These components work together to perform computations and process data. The very nature of a computer relies on these electronic parts to function.
  3. Statement II: It has self-regeneration capability.
  4. Explanation: This statement is misleading. While some systems may have self-repair mechanisms (like error correction in memory), the term "self-regeneration" is not typically used to describe a feature of computers. Computers do not inherently possess the ability to regenerate or repair themselves without external intervention. Therefore, this statement is not a standard feature of computers.
  5. Statement III: It has facility for storage of data and programs.
  6. Explanation: This statement is true. Computers have various storage devices (like hard drives, SSDs, and RAM) that allow them to store data and programs. This is a fundamental feature of computers, as they need to retain information and instructions to perform tasks.
  7. Statement IV: It has provision for input and output data.
  8. Explanation: This statement is also true. Computers are designed to receive input (through devices like keyboards, mice, and scanners) and provide output (through monitors, printers, and speakers). This input-output capability is essential for user interaction and data processing.
Summary of Correct and Incorrect Options
  • Option A: I, II, and III only
  • Incorrect: While I and III are correct, II is not a valid feature of computers.
  • Option B: I, II, and IV only
  • Incorrect: Again, I and IV are correct, but II is not a valid feature.
  • Option C: I, III, and IV only
  • Correct: All three statements (I, III, and IV) accurately describe features of a computer.
  • Option D: II, III, and IV only
  • Incorrect: While III and IV are correct, II is not a valid feature.
Common Pitfalls
  • Misunderstanding the terminology: Terms like "self-regeneration" can be confusing. It's important to focus on widely accepted features of computers.
  • Overlooking the basic functionalities: Remember that storage and input/output capabilities are fundamental to any computer system.
Revision Summary
  • Computers are constructed from electronic components (Statement I).
  • They have the capability to store data and programs (Statement III).
  • They provide facilities for input and output (Statement IV).
  • "Self-regeneration capability" is not a standard feature of computers (Statement II is incorrect).
By understanding these features, you can better appreciate the fundamental characteristics that define a computer system.
