Question 18 of 319

Fig.3 is a flowchart. Use it to answer the question below

The part labelled II represents______

  • A. Decision Symbol
  • B. Read/Write Symbol
  • C. Process Symbol
  • D. Stop/End Symbol

Correct Answer: C

Explanation
To determine what the part labeled II represents in the flowchart, we need to understand the different symbols commonly used in flowcharts and their meanings. Explanation of Flowchart Symbols
  1. Decision Symbol (A): This symbol is typically represented as a diamond shape. It indicates a point in the process where a decision must be made, leading to different paths based on the outcome (e.g., Yes/No, True/False).
  2. Read/Write Symbol (B): This symbol is usually depicted as a parallelogram. It represents input or output operations, such as reading data from a user or writing data to a display or file.
  3. Process Symbol (C): This symbol is represented as a rectangle. It indicates a process or operation that is being performed, such as calculations, data manipulation, or any action that transforms input into output.
  4. Stop/End Symbol (D): This symbol is often shown as an oval or rounded rectangle. It signifies the termination of the flowchart, indicating that the process has completed.
Analyzing the Correct Option Given that the current recorded correct option is C (Process Symbol), we can conclude that the part labeled II in the flowchart represents a process where some action is being taken. This could involve calculations, data processing, or any other operation that modifies or utilizes the data in the flowchart. Why Option C is Correct
  • Shape Recognition: If the part labeled II is a rectangle, it confirms that it is a process symbol. This is a standard representation in flowcharts.
  • Contextual Understanding: If the flowchart is showing a sequence of operations, the rectangle would logically represent a step where something is being done, which aligns with the definition of a process.
Why Other Options are Incorrect
  • Option A (Decision Symbol): If the part labeled II were a decision symbol, it would need to be a diamond shape. Since we are identifying a rectangle, this option is not applicable.
  • Option B (Read/Write Symbol): This option would be valid if the symbol were a parallelogram. Since we are identifying a rectangle, this option is also not applicable.
  • Option D (Stop/End Symbol): This symbol would typically be an oval or rounded rectangle. If the part labeled II is a rectangle, it cannot represent the end of the flowchart.
Summary of Key Points
  • Flowcharts use specific symbols to represent different types of actions or decisions.
  • The rectangle represents a process, making option C the correct choice for part II.
  • Decision symbols (diamonds), read/write symbols (parallelograms), and stop/end symbols (ovals) are distinct and do not apply in this case.
Revision Summary
  • Flowchart Symbols: Understand the meanings of different flowchart symbols (decision, process, read/write, stop/end).
  • Shape Identification: Recognize that rectangles indicate processes.
  • Contextual Clarity: Ensure the context of the flowchart aligns with the symbol's meaning.
  • Elimination of Options: Use the shape and function of the symbol to eliminate incorrect options effectively.
