The computer uses the .......... number system to store data and perform calculations.
- A.
Binary
- B.
Octal
- C.
Decimal
- D.
Hexadecimal
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. BinaryExplanation
The computer uses the binary number system to store data and perform calculations. In the binary system, numbers are represented using only two digits, 0 and 1. This is because computers use electronic circuits that can only represent two states, on and off. Each digit in a binary number is called a bit, and a group of 8 bits is called a byte. The binary system is fundamental to computer architecture and is used to encode and process all types of data, including text, images, and instructions.Rate this question:

B. Write-protect notchExplanation
The write-protect notch helps to protect floppy disks from data getting accidentally erased. This notch is a small opening on the side of the floppy disk that can be covered or uncovered. When the notch is covered, it indicates that the disk is write-protected, meaning that no new data can be written or saved onto the disk. This prevents any accidental erasure or overwriting of the existing data on the floppy disk.Rate this question:
