Second Generation computers were developed duringCorrect Answer: 1956 to 1965Explanation: Second generation computers used transistors as their main electroniccomponent. Transistor was invented by Bell Lab Scientists John Burdeen, WalterBrattain and William Shockley in 1947 and won the Nobel Prize in 1956 but it was notused in computers till 1956. The second generation continued until the implementationof IC chips invented by Jack Kilby in Texas Instruments in 1958.9. The computer size was very large inCorrect Answer: a. First GenerationExplanation: It is obvious that computers developed with more power, reliability, speedand smaller sizes due to the enhancement of technology. First generation computersused 1000s of vacuum tubes that required lot of space made them gigantic in size. Singletransistor could replace 1000 vacuum tubes and a single IC chip replaced 1000s oftransistors made computers smaller and more speedy.10. Microprocessors as switching devices are for which generation computersCorrect Answer: Fourth GenerationExplanation: Microprocessors further revolutionized the development of computers.Personal microcomputers were possible due to the microprocessors. The firstmicroprocessor called Intel 4004 was developed by American Intel Corporation in 1971.Microprocessors are used in the computers of fourth generation computers._______________________________________________

2014-15 [ ]

Explanation: Today’s computer fall under the fourth generation computers that usesthe LSI and VLSI Integrated Circuits. For fifth generation computers it is expected forUltra Large Scale Integrated Circuits (ULSI). The study for using Gallium Arsenideinstead of silicon chips is underway. Electrons can travel 5 times faster in GalliumArsenide compared to the silicon. Similarly, genetically engineered protein moleculesare being tried for processors. Fifth generation computers are expected to have artificialintelligence, ability to use natural language.2. Artificial Intelligence is associated with which generation?Correct Answer: c. Fifth GenerationExplanation: ‘A computer is a slave in a box’. This is a saying due to the lack ofintelligence in computer in spite of their speed, accuracy, diligence and reliability. Acomputer can only perform instructed task in the way already programmed. Thus,scientists are trying to develop artificial intelligence in computers so that they can thinkand make decisions themselves. This is expected for fifth generation computers.3. Which operation is not performed by computerCorrect Answer: d. UnderstandingExplanation: Computers can’t understand since they don’t have intelligence. Let’s hopein fifth generation they will achieve artificial intelligence and be able to understand.4. Fifth generation computer is also known asCorrect Answer: a. Knowledge information processing systemExplanation: Fifth Generation computers will have artificial intelligence and will be ableto understand making knowledge information processing system possible,5. Central Processing Unit is combination ofCorrect Answer: d. Arithmetic logic and control unitExplanation: Arithmetic logic and control unit along with memory unit forms acomplete central processing unit and central processing unit along with input/outputunit forms a computer system.6. The brain of any computer system isCorrect Answer: c. Central Processing Unit

2014-15 [ ]

Explanation: Control unit or arithmetic logical unit alone can not represent the functionof brain to compare with neither does storage unit only. Central Processing Unit is thecombination of control, arithmetic logic and memory units thus can be compared withbrain that controls the body, processes its functions and remembers.7. Pick the one that is used for logical operations or comparisons such as less than equal to orgreater than.Correct Answer: a. Arithmetic and Logic UnitExplanation: Logical sub-unit of ALU performs all the comparisons such as less thanequal to or greater than. Arithmetic sub-unit of ALU performs calculations such asaddition, subtraction and so on.8. Analog computer works on the supply ofCorrect Answer: a. Continuous electrical pulsesExplanation: Analog computers works on the continuous electrical pulses and digitalcomputers work on the discrete electrical pulses. Analog computers need to processphysical quantities such as temperature, pressure, speed etc.9. Digital devices areCorrect Answer: a. Digital Clock.Explanation: Automobile speed meter and clock with a dial and two hands are analogdevices. Speed meter works on speed of wheel and the later works on tension of dialedspring.10. The computer that process both analog and digital is calledCorrect Answer c. Hybrid ComputerExplanation: Analog, Digital and Hybrid are the three classes of computers based onthe work or principle on which computer work. Hybrid computers can perform both thetasks of analog computers as well as hybrid computers. These computers are used inaircraft, hospitals where measuring physical quantities and converting them into digitaldata to analyze is required.__________________________________________________
