ANSWERS :

Q.1. What are the five basic operations performed by the computer?

The five fundamental operations performed by a computer are as follows:

I. Data Input – Accepting data from the user or another source.

II. Data Storage – Retaining data for immediate or future use.

III. Data Processing – Manipulating or transforming data according to specified


instructions.

IV. Data Retrieval – Accessing stored data whenever required.

V. Output Generation – Presenting the processed results in the desired format.

Q.2. Define ALU, CU and CPU.

The core components that define the processing power of a computer system are
defined as follows:

• ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit): The internal electronic circuit of the CPU that
executes all mathematical calculations (like addition and subtraction) and logical
data comparisons (like matching values or sorting numbers).

• CU (Control Unit): The central coordinator of the computer system that acts as a
supervisor, directing the flow of data, managing the sequence of instructions, and
regulating all internal hardware communication.
• CPU (Central Processing Unit): The primary electronic chip—often called the
"brain" of the computer—that combines the ALU, the CU, and internal registers to
interpret instructions, process data, and execute software programs.
