1. Which of the following is not a major structural components of the Computer? A. CPU C. Operating system B. System bus D. Memory 2is the part of CPU that performs all the arithmetic and logic operations. A. RAM C. ALU B. BUS D. Register 3. x86 processors havearchitecture. A. Harvarod C. AMD B. Vax D. Von Neumann 4. Ais used to temporarily store data and then shift it. A. ALU C. data bus B. register D. Program counter 5. The is used to transfer data from I/O module to CPU. A. I/O bus C. control bus B. data bus D. address bus

Explanation / Answer

1. C - OS

An operating system is not a structural component of a computer. OS is used to manage the hardware of a computer but an OS by itself is not necessary for the structural design of it. Without the other 3, the computer cannot perform its operations at the hardware level

2. C - ALU

All Arithmetic and Logic operations in a computer are performed by a combinational circuit called the ALU. The ALU performs required operations on the data bits transferred to it.

3. D - Von Neumann

Though x86 processors are considered as a combination of both Harvard and Von Neumann architectures, x86 is more of Von Neumann architecture than Harvard

4. B - Register

While performing operations, small bytes of data are stored in the register for faster accessing temporarily and once done, they are moved back to the memory

5. A - I/O bus

Both I/O bus and data bus are used to transfer data to the CPU but I/O bus interacts with peripherals for transfer of data while the data bus is restricted for data transfer between memory and CPU
