Correct Answer: (b) Arithmetic and Logical Unit, Register and Control Unit
Note:

Central processing unit consists of an Arithmetic and logic unit, Register and Control unit.

Control Unit this part controls the input and output devices

Arithmetic Logic Unit this is the part that does all the working out it does all the maths and makes the decisions.

Registers related to fetching information from RAM, a collection of storage registers located on separate chips from the CPL) Memory buffer register (MBR), Memory data register (MDR), Memory address register (MAR).

12. Which computer unit is considered the Computer's brain? [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-1) 18.03.2020 (Shift-III)]

Correct Answer: (b) CPU
Note:

The CPU is the brain of a computer, containing all the circuitry needed to process input, store data, and output results. The CPU is constantly following instructions from computer programs that tell it which data to process and how to process it. Without a CPU, we could not run programs on a computer.

13. Which of the following is also known as the brain of the computer? [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-1) 11.01.2017 (Shift-11) S.S.C. JE Civil Exam 23.03.2021 (Shift-11) C.P.O. S.I. 5.06.2016 (Shift-1)]

Correct Answer: (a) CPU
Note:

The CPU is the brain of a computer, containing all the circuitry needed to process input, store data, and output results. The CPU is constantly following instructions from computer programs that tell it which data to process and how to process it. Without a CPU, we could not run programs on a computer.

14. Which of the following is a part of the central processing unit of a computer? [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-I) 11.08.2021 (Shift-1)]

Correct Answer: (d) Memory registers
Note:

A memory register or register is a type of computer memory used by the Central Processing Unit (C.P.U.) to quickly accept, store, and transfer data and instructions to be used immediately.

15. The speed of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) is measured in ______ which represents a CPU cycle. [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-1) 18.03.2020 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (b) Hertz (Hz)
Note:

The CPU is made up of three main components, the control unit, the immediate access store and the arithmetic and logic unit. The speed of a CPU is measured in hertz (Hz). The clock speed is measured in cycles per second, and one cycle per second is known as I hertz.

16. In a computer, which unit is responsible for processing data and is also called the electronic brain of the computer? [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-I) 12.10.2020 (Shift-1)]

Correct Answer: (a) Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Note:

The Central processing unit (CPU) also called the brain of computer, is responsible for processing data. In a computer the processor is the centre of activity. The processor, as we noted, is also called the central processing unit (CPU). The central processing unit consists of electronic circuits that interpret and execute program instructions, as well as communicate with the input, output, and storage devices.

17. Which of the following is an input device? [S.S.C. Online Stenographer 14.09.2017 (Shift-2)]

Correct Answer: (d) Scanner
Note:

Among the given options, the scanner is an input device while the rest of the others are output devices. The scanner inserts data into the computer's memory in image form, which can be retrieved by the printer

18. Which of the following is an input device that utilises a light-sensitive detector to select objects on a display screen? [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-1) 18.03.2020 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (b) Light Pen
Note:

A Light Pen utilizes a light-sensitive detector to select objects on a display screen. A light pen is similar to a mouse, except with a light pen, you can move the pointer and select objects on the display screen by directly pointing to the objects with the pen.
