    What is firmware ?

    • A.

      Soft hardwre

    • B.

      IC chip with firm circuits

    • C.

      Hardware with instruction

    • D.

      Software with fermitation

    Correct Answer
    C. Hardware with instruction
    Explanation
    Firmware refers to a type of software that is embedded into a hardware device. It provides low-level control and instructions for the hardware, allowing it to perform specific functions. Unlike regular software, firmware is stored in non-volatile memory, such as ROM or flash memory, and remains intact even when the device is powered off. Therefore, the correct answer "hardware with instruction" accurately describes the nature of firmware, highlighting its close relationship with hardware devices and its role in providing instructions for their operation.

    What is 1 MB ?

    • A.

      1024 Bytes

    • B.

      1000 Kilo Bytes

    • D.

      10X24 Kilo Bytes

    Correct Answer
    C. 1024 Kilo Bytes
    Explanation
    1 MB is equivalent to 1024 kilobytes. In computer storage, memory, and data transfer, the binary system is used where each unit is a power of 2. Therefore, 1 MB is equal to 1024 KB, not 1000 KB. This is because 1024 is the closest power of 2 to 1000, making it the standard conversion factor.

It helps in understanding the flow of logic or operations in a program or system. By using different shapes and connectors, a flow chart provides a clear and concise representation of an algorithm, making it easier to analyze and communicate.
