Question

Arrange the following computers in the decreasing order of their cost, speed and size: A. Mini computers, B. Super computers, C. Mainframe computers, D. Micro computers.

• A. C, B, A, D
• B. B, C, D, A
• C. B, C, A, D
• D. C, B, D, A

Hint:

Order by power and size: Super computer, Mainframe computer, Mini computer, Micro computer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Computers can be classified according to size, speed, cost and processing power. Super computers are the largest, fastest, and most expensive among the given categories. Mainframe computers are also very powerful, but generally less powerful and less expensive than super computers. Mini computers are smaller and less powerful than mainframe computers. Micro computers are the smallest and least expensive among the given options. Therefore, the decreasing order of cost, speed and size is: \[ \text{Super computers} \rightarrow \text{Mainframe computers} \rightarrow \text{Mini computers} \rightarrow \text{Micro computers}. \] Now match the letters: \[ B \rightarrow C \rightarrow A \rightarrow D. \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ B,\ C,\ A,\ D. \]
