    • String variable

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. String variable
    Explanation
    A string variable is a type of variable that can hold a sequence of characters. It is represented by an alphabet and an '&' sign at the end. This type of variable is used to store textual data such as names, sentences, or any other combination of characters. It is different from numeric values or characters, as it can store a sequence of characters rather than just a single character or a numerical value. Therefore, the correct answer is string variable.

  • 10. 

    Which of the following printers consists of a steel band on which characters are embossed?

    • Line printer

    • Drum printer

    • Chain printer

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Chain printer
    Explanation
    A chain printer consists of a steel band on which characters are embossed. This band, known as the chain, contains the characters that need to be printed. As the chain rotates, the embossed characters strike an inked ribbon, transferring the ink onto the paper, thus creating the printed output. This mechanism allows for fast and reliable printing, making chain printers suitable for high-volume printing tasks. In contrast, line printers use a line of type to print characters, and drum printers use a rotating drum with characters engraved on its surface. None of these printers use a steel band with embossed characters.

    The language which uses opcodes instead of binary machine codes is called ________.

    • High level language

    • Machine language

    • Assembly language

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Assembly language
    Explanation
    Assembly language is the correct answer because it is a low-level programming language that uses mnemonic codes or opcodes instead of binary machine codes. It provides a more human-readable representation of machine language instructions, making it easier for programmers to write and understand code. High-level languages like C++ or Java are further away from machine code and use more abstract instructions, while machine language directly represents the binary instructions understood by the computer's hardware.

    Correct Answer
    A. 1976-85
    Explanation
    The computers of the fourth generation came into use between the years 1976-85. This period marked a significant advancement in computer technology, with the introduction of microprocessors and personal computers. The fourth generation computers were smaller, faster, and more affordable compared to their predecessors. This era also saw the development of graphical user interfaces (GUI) and the beginning of the modern computer era.

    Rate this question:

    The language in which data is represented in terms of dens and zeros and programs can be executed directly by the computer is called __________.

    • Assembly language

    • High level language

    • Binary coded language

    • Machine language

    Correct Answer
    A. Machine language
    Explanation
    Machine language is the correct answer because it refers to the language in which data is represented using binary code, consisting of ones and zeros. Programs written in machine language can be executed directly by the computer's hardware. Assembly language is a low-level language that uses mnemonic codes to represent machine language instructions. High-level languages are more user-friendly and require a compiler or interpreter to convert the code into machine language. Binary coded language is not a commonly used term in computer science.

    A. MDR
    Explanation
    The data read from the memory or that to be written in the memory is placed in the MDR (Memory Data Register). The MDR is a temporary storage location within the computer's memory system that holds the data being transferred between the CPU and the memory. It acts as a buffer, allowing the CPU to access and manipulate the data before it is written back to the memory or used for further processing.
