File contains the updates to the current records.
-
A) master
-
B) transaction
-
C) record
-
D) update
Correct Answer
A. B) transactionExplanation
A transaction typically refers to a set of operations that are executed as a single unit. In the context of the given statement, a file containing updates to the current records would most likely be associated with a transaction. This is because the updates are likely to be performed together as a cohesive unit to ensure data integrity. The other options, such as master, record, and update, do not specifically imply a collection of operations or changes being made to the records.Rate this question:

In the early days of computers, tape was the only secondary storage, so all transaction processing was in mode.
-
A) real-time.
-
B) master file
-
C) batch
-
D) tape transfer
Correct Answer
A. C) batchExplanation
In the early days of computers, tape was the primary form of secondary storage. In batch processing, transactions are collected and processed together in groups or batches. This was the common mode of transaction processing at that time because it allowed for efficient use of resources and minimized the need for manual intervention. Real-time processing refers to immediate processing of transactions, while master file and tape transfer are not directly related to the mode of transaction processing in this context.Rate this question:

When electrical power is cut off, data and programs are lost in:
-
A) Secondary storage.
-
B) ROM.
-
C) Primary memory.
-
D) Operating system
Correct Answer
A. C) Primary memory.Explanation
When electrical power is cut off, data and programs are lost in primary memory. Primary memory, also known as main memory or RAM (Random Access Memory), is volatile memory that requires continuous power supply to retain data and programs. When the power is cut off, the data stored in primary memory is lost as it is not permanently stored. Secondary storage, such as hard drives or solid-state drives, and ROM (Read-Only Memory) are non-volatile and can retain data even without power. The operating system is responsible for managing the computer's hardware and software but does not store data or programs.Rate this question:
