Basic Computer Architecture Quiz

What are the main functions of a computer?

• Input, Processing, Memory, Output

• CPU, RAM, Software, Internet

• Input, Output, Graphics, Communication

• Hardware, Software, Data, Storage

What is an example of input in a computer system?

• Turning up speaker volume

• Displaying an image on a monitor

• Printing a document

• Saving a file

How is input data converted for processing?

• It is directly executed by the CPU.

• It is converted into binary code (0s and 1s).

• It is stored permanently in memory.

• It is printed directly on a printer.

What does the CPU primarily do?

• Stores data temporarily

• Controls all hardware and software components

• Outputs data to the monitor

• Converts binary into decimal

Which type of memory is used to temporarily store data?

• Secondary memory

• Permanent memory

• Primary memory

• Cache memory

What is the primary purpose of secondary memory?

• Storing temporary data during calculations

• Permanently storing files like photos and documents

• Enhancing the speed of the CPU

• Processing binary data

Which component performs arithmetic and logical operations in a CPU?

• Registers

• Cache memory

• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)

• Floating Point Unit (FPU)

What is the role of cache memory in a CPU?

• Performing complex calculations

• Storing frequently accessed data for quick retrieval

• Permanently saving files

• Managing input and output operations

What does a multi-core processor enable?

• Higher resolution graphics

• Faster memory storage

• Efficient simultaneous task execution

• Enhanced power consumption
