Which of the following statements relevant to the trends in modern information technology is/are correct? Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
- 1. In traditional computing data is represented in binary digits, while in quantum computing data is represented in quantum bits or qubits
- 2. A wearable device capable of activity tracking that measures data such as the number of steps walked and heart rate is an example of WiMAX
- 3. A collection of nodes capable of environmental sensing, local computation and communication with peers or high-performance nodes is called a Geographic Information System (GIS)
A1 only ✓ Correct
B2 only
C1 and 3 only
D2 and 3 only
Correct answer: (A) 1 only — Only the statement about binary digits and qubits is correct, so the answer is 1 only.
Explanation
★Only the statement about binary digits and qubits is correct, so the answer is 1 only.
★In traditional computing data is stored as binary digits, or bits.
★In quantum computing data is represented as quantum bits, or qubits, so statement 1 is correct.
★A wearable step and heart rate tracker is a fitness device, not an example of WiMAX.
★WiMAX is a long distance wireless broadband technology, so statement 2 is false.
★A collection of sensing nodes is a wireless sensor network, not a GIS, so statement 3 is false.
