Which of the following electronic technologies is the key technology for making the third-generation electronic computer? (This question was dropped by NTA and marks were awarded to all candidates.)
ATransistor based
BIntegrated circuit (IC) based ✓ Correct
CVacuum tube based
DMicroprocessor based
Correct answer: (B) Integrated circuit (IC) based — This question was dropped by NTA, and the defensible key is the integrated circuit.
Explanation
★This question was dropped by NTA, and the defensible key is the integrated circuit.
★The third generation of computers used integrated circuits in place of transistors.
★A single integrated circuit packed many transistors and other components together.
★So the intended answer is integrated circuit based technology.
★The printed option wording was faulty, so the question was removed from scoring.
★All candidates were awarded marks for it.
