Question: 145 The ALU of a computer normally contains a number of high speed storage elements called
- semiconductor memory
- registers
- hard disk
- magnetic disk
- none of the above
Question: 146 Memories in which any location can be reached in a fixed(and short) amount of time after specifying its address is called
- sequential -access memory
- random-access memory
- secondary memory
- mass storage
- none of the above
Question: 147 Which of the following is the fastest
- CPU
- magnetic tapes and disks
- video terminal
- sensor, mechanical controllers
- none of the above
Question: 148 Modern computers do not work with decimal numbers. Instead they process binary numbers i.e; groups of 0s and1s because
