A formula in cell E6 refers to cell A6. Cells A4, A5, and A6 are then merged The formula in cell E6 will now _____.
- A.
Use the value in the merged cell A4
- B.
Use the original value in A6
- C.
Use a zero in place of A6
- D.
Show the error value #Reff!
Correct Answer
C. Use a zero in place of A6Explanation
When cells are merged, the content of the leftmost cell is preserved, while the content of the other cells is discarded. In this case, since cells A4, A5, and A6 are merged, the content of cell A4 will be preserved, and the content of cells A5 and A6 will be discarded. Therefore, the formula in cell E6, which refers to cell A6, will now use a zero in place of A6.Rate this question:

C. The column is too narrow to show all the digital of the numberExplanation
If a cell shows "#######", it means that the column is too narrow to display all the digits of the number. When a cell contains a long number that cannot fit within the width of the column, Excel displays "#######" as a visual indicator that the number is too wide to be fully displayed. This is a common occurrence when the column width is not adjusted to accommodate the length of the number.Rate this question:

The primary device that a computer uses to store information.
- A.
Monitor
- B.
CPU
- C.
Hard disk
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. Hard diskExplanation
The hard disk is the primary device that a computer uses to store information. It is a non-volatile storage device that stores data magnetically on rotating disks. Unlike temporary storage devices like RAM, the hard disk retains data even when the computer is turned off. It is where the operating system, software, and user files are stored. The CPU and monitor are important components of a computer, but they do not directly store information like the hard disk does.Rate this question:

Mention the name of the ports that are used for devices which do not transmit data rapidly.
- A.
Parallel
- B.
Centronics
- C.
Serial
- D.
SCSI
Correct Answer
C. SerialExplanation
Serial ports are used for devices that do not transmit data rapidly. Unlike parallel ports, which can transmit multiple bits of data simultaneously, serial ports transmit data one bit at a time. This makes them suitable for devices that do not require high-speed data transmission, such as printers, scanners, and modems. Centronics and SCSI are examples of parallel ports, which are used for devices that require faster data transfer rates.Rate this question:

Where does the computer store information when it's turned off?
- A.
RAM
- B.
Monitor
- C.
Disks
- D.
Scanner
Correct Answer
C. DisksExplanation
When a computer is turned off, it stores information on disks. Disks, such as hard drives or solid-state drives, are non-volatile storage devices that retain data even when the power is switched off. This allows the computer to access the stored information again when it is turned back on. RAM, on the other hand, is a volatile form of memory that requires power to maintain data, so it cannot store information when the computer is turned off. Monitors and scanners are output and input devices respectively, and they do not store any information when the computer is powered off.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. RegistersExplanation
Registers are storage locations in the CPU that are used to store data and instructions temporarily. They are small, high-speed memory units that are directly accessible by the CPU. Registers are used to hold operands, intermediate results, and memory addresses during the execution of instructions. They play a crucial role in speeding up the execution of instructions by reducing the need to access slower main memory.Rate this question:
