to enter Nepal in 2028 BS for census. Government of Nepal had brought this
computer on rent and later purchased for data processing in Bureau of Statistics.
After this computer, another ICL 2950/10, a British computer, was purchased by
the fund of UNDP and UNFPA for the census of 2038 BS is second computer in

2. BCD is
a. Binary Coded Decimal
b. Bit Coded Decimal
c. Binary Coded Digit
d. Bit Coded Digit
6. FORTRAN is
a. File Translation
b. Format Translation
c. Formula Translation
d. Floppy Translation
Explanation: EBCDIC is an 8-bit binary code for larger IBMs primarily mainframes
in which each byte represent one alphanumeric character or two decimal digits. 256
characters can be coded using EBCDIC.
2. BCD is
Correct Answer: a. Binary Coded Decimal
Explanation: BCD is a binary coded notation in which each of the decimal digits is
expressed as a 8-bit binary numeral. For example in binary coded decimal notation 12 is
0001 0010 as opposed to 1100 in pure binary.
Explanation: Transistors were used for second generation computers and integrated
circuits in third generation. First generation computers used vacuum tubes and valves
as their main electronic component. Vacuum Tubes were invented by Lee DeForest in
1908.
6. FORTRAN is
Correct Answer: c. Formula Translation
Explanation: There are three types of ROM namely, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM.
PROM can’t be reprogrammed, EPROM can be erased by exposing it in high intensity
ultraviolet light and EEPROM can be erased and reprogrammed electrically. It is not
needed to be removed from the computer to be modified.
Explanation: It is obvious that computers developed with more power, reliability, speed
and smaller sizes due to the enhancement of technology. First generation computers
used 1000s of vacuum tubes that required lot of space made them gigantic in size. Single
transistor could replace 1000 vacuum tubes and a single IC chip replaced 1000s of
transistors made computers smaller and more speedy.

b. Digital computer
c. Hybrid computer
d. Mainframe computer
Answers:
Explanation: Today’s computer fall under the fourth generation computers that uses
the LSI and VLSI Integrated Circuits. For fifth generation computers it is expected for
Ultra Large Scale Integrated Circuits (ULSI). The study for using Gallium Arsenide
instead of silicon chips is underway. Electrons can travel 5 times faster in Gallium
Arsenide compared to the silicon. Similarly, genetically engineered protein molecules
are being tried for processors. Fifth generation computers are expected to have artificial
intelligence, ability to use natural language.
Explanation: Computers can’t understand since they don’t have intelligence. Let’s hope
in fifth generation they will achieve artificial intelligence and be able to understand.
Explanation: Fifth Generation computers will have artificial intelligence and will be able
to understand making knowledge information processing system possible,
Explanation: Arithmetic logic and control unit along with memory unit forms a
complete central processing unit and central processing unit along with input/output
unit forms a computer system.
Explanation: Control unit or arithmetic logical unit alone can not represent the function
of brain to compare with neither does storage unit only. Central Processing Unit is the
combination of control, arithmetic logic and memory units thus can be compared with
brain 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 or
greater than.
Correct Answer: a. Arithmetic and Logic Unit
Explanation: Logical sub-unit of ALU performs all the comparisons such as less than
equal to or greater than. Arithmetic sub-unit of ALU performs calculations such as
addition, subtraction and so on.
Explanation: Automobile speed meter and clock with a dial and two hands are analog
devices. Speed meter works on speed of wheel and the later works on tension of dialed
spring.
10. The computer that process both analog and digital is called
Correct Answer c. Hybrid Computer
Explanation: Analog, Digital and Hybrid are the three classes of computers based on
the work or principle on which computer work. Hybrid computers can perform both the
tasks of analog computers as well as hybrid computers. These computers are used in
aircraft, hospitals where measuring physical quantities and converting them into digital
data to analyze is required.
