The analytical engine intends to function for any mathematical action expressed in a finite number of steps. It includes both simple operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as well as more complex ones like algebra, calculus, and trigonometry.

Question : What is the full form of ALU?

Option 1: Alternative Logic Unit

Option 2: Arithmetic Logic Unit

Option 3: Arithmetic Least Unit

Option 4: Arithmetic Local Unit

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Arithmetic Logic Unit


Solution : The correct answer is the Arithmetic Logic Unit.

The ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is a key component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU), performing arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) and logical (comparisons and bitwise operations) operations on data.

Question : C. P. U. consists of ____.

Option 1: Arithmetic and Logical Unit and Register

Option 2: Arithmetic and Logical unit, Register and Control unit

Option 3: System Unit and Memory

Option 4: Hard disk and Control unit

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Arithmetic and Logical unit, Register and Control unit


Solution : The correct answer is Arithmetic and Logical Unit, Register and Control unit.

The CPU, or Central Processing Unit, serves as the computer's brain. It comprises three essential components: The ALU (Arithmetic and Logic Unit), Register, and Control Unit. The Control Unit is tasked with receiving input from peripheral devices and the processing system in handling the data. The ALU is responsible for executing all logical operations, thereby processing the data. Meanwhile, the Register stores data in the memory for future retrieval.

Question : Which component is mainly responsible for doing calculations on the computer?

Option 1: Random access memory

Option 2: Control unit

Option 3: Arithmetic logic unit

Option 4: Hard disk

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Arithmetic logic unit


Solution : The correct answer is the Arithmetic logic unit.

The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is a crucial computer element primarily tasked with performing arithmetic and logical computations. As an integral part of the Central Processing Unit (CPU), the ALU takes charge of various operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and other logical processes. Its pivotal role lies in the execution of program instructions and the manipulation of data within the computer system.

Question : Arithmetic and Logic Unit

I. perform Arithmetic operations

II. Store Data

III. Perform comparisons

IV Communicate with input devices

Which of the following is true?

Option 1: I only

Option 2: III only

Option 3: I and II

Option 4: I and III

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: I and III


Solution : The correct option is I and III.

The claim that the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) performs arithmetic operations, stores data, performs comparisons, and communicates with input devices is correct. The arithmetic and logical operations on the information stored in the computer's memory are carried out by the ALU.
