33. Which one of the following is NOT a computer term? [Uttarakhand P.C.S. (Pre) 2002-03]

Correct Answer: (d) MODE

Solution:Computer is of two types: (i) Analog Computer (ii) Digital Computer. Computer languages are expressed in Binary Code. Chip is a part of computer hardware.

(a) BINARY CODE: A fundamental system in computing that uses combinations of 0s and 1s to represent data and instructions.
(b) CHIP: A small piece of semiconductor material containing integrated electronic circuits, essential components in computers.
(c) MODE: While "mode" is a general English word and can be used in the context of computers (e.g., "safe mode," "edit mode"), it isn't a core, specific computer term in the same way the others are. It describes a state or way of operating rather than a fundamental component or concept.
(d) ANALOGUE: A type of signal or system that uses continuous physical quantities to represent data, as opposed to the discrete values used in digital computers. While relevant to the history and contrast with digital computing, it's not a term specific to the workings of a digital computer itself.

Therefore, "MODE" stands out as the least specific and fundamental computer term among the options.
