Which among the following statements is incorrect about Central Processing Unit?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Arithmetic Logic Unit is responsible for taking the input, converting it into a signal, and storing it for further processing
- The statement that is incorrect about Central Processing Unit (CPU) is:
- "Arithmetic Logic Unit is responsible for taking the input, converting it into a signal, and storing it for further processing."
- The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) in a CPU performs arithmetic and logical operations on data, but it doesn't handle input conversion or data storage. Its primary role is to perform calculations and logical comparisons as directed by the control unit.
- The other statements are correct:
- The Control Unit controls the order in which instructions enter and leave the processor and how they are executed
- The ALU is often referred to as the "mathematical brain" of the computer.
- The Control Unit directs and manages operation sequences
