COMPUTER | MCQs

Explanation

When referring to data or storage device, writing is taking information and moving it to an alternate location.

For example, saving data onto a diskette is the same as writing information to a diskette.

Explanation

The Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) performs logical operations in the Central Processing Unit (CPU).

An arithmetic-logic unit is the part of a central processing unit that carries out arithmetic and logic operations.

Explanation

 To boot (to boot up, to start up or booting) a computer is to load an operating system (OS) into the computer's main memory or RAM.

Explanation

Explanation

  To play and hear sound on a computer, the following are required:

• Sound Card: A hardware component or integrated chip that processes audio signals and enables the computer to produce sound.
• Speakers: External or built-in devices that convert audio signals from the sound card into audible sound.

Explanation

The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and the Control Unit (CU)

They are both components of the Central Processing Unit (CPU), which is the brain of a computer

Explanation

Both software and physical parts work together to transfer data in a computer system.

Software parts, such as operating systems, device drivers, and data transfer protocols, manage and direct data transfer.

Physical parts, like buses, ports, cables, network interface cards, and storage devices, physically move the data.

Explanation

A buffer is a temporary storage area that holds data while it is being transferred between two devices or processed by the CPU.

It helps manage differences in data processing speeds between the CPU and peripheral devices, ensuring smooth data flow.

Explanation

AGP (Accelerator Graphics Port) is a high-speed interface designed specifically for graphics cards to enhance the performance of 3D graphics rendering.

It allows for faster data transfer between the graphics card and the motherboard compared to earlier technologies like PCI.

Explanation

In most graphic and word processing programs, the thickness of a line can be adjusted through the "Shape Style" or "Outline" options.

It allow users to modify the line's appearance.
