(a) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
(5)
A computer is an electronic device for analysing or storing data and making calculations. It works like an
intelligent human brain in getting answers to the data fed to it. Whatever input is given to it, is stored by it
on its hard disk. Later on we get answers to it as per our input. It can do calculation on a large scale in no
time. All the big industrialists and government departments make use of the computers in order to make
their pay rolls and other work. The Indian Railways have computerised the whole system of reserving berths
and seats in railways trains. The Air Traffic is managed, controlled and supervised with the help of
computers. Again, it is the computer that shows the industrial, financial and commerical problems of
various organisations and the government computer has helped the scientists of the world to send a man
in space and to bring him back to earth. Numerous technical and mathematical problems are solved by the
computers. Computers are helping in data processing of land records of villages and towns all over the
country. They are used by the police force to detect crime and to arrest criminals. Computerised portraits
of the criminals are shown on the television and this results in their arrests. The record of the criminals,
thieves, terrorists and outlaws are maintained in the computers for reference. The various planning
commissions in the country use computers for resource planning and for exchanging information of the
data with each other. Computers have revolutionised the whole printing industry, photography,
cinematography, music industry and medical surgery.
