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
Explanation

In traditional computing data is represented in binary digits while in quantum computing it is represented in quantum bits or qubits, which is accurate.

A wearable activity tracker measuring steps and heart rate is a fitness or wearable device, not an example of WiMAX, which is a wireless broadband technology.

A collection of nodes doing environmental sensing, local computation and peer communication is a wireless sensor network, not a Geographic Information System.

Only the first description of these information-technology trends holds true.

Qubits exploit superposition to represent more than a single binary state at once.

A Geographic Information System instead stores and analyses spatial and geographic data.
