F. Answer these questions.
1. Write names of any four places where computers are used.
Answer: Hospital, railway stations, airports and police stations.
2. What is IPO?
Answer: IPO stands for Input-Process-Output. A computer takes data as
an input, processes it and provides processed data as a useful
information known as output.
3. Distinguish between input and output devices.
Answer:
Input devices: These are used for entering data into the computer.
Computer Science
Grade 4
Output devices: These are used for displaying results of input data
after processing.
4. Write the names of any four input and output devices.
Answer:
Input devices – keyboard, mouse, scanner and touchpad
Output devices – monitor, printer, plotter and projector
5. What is scanner? Describe the types of scanners.
Answer: A scanner is used to transfer printed text or pictures into the
computer. There are two types of scanner – flatbed and barcode.
Flatbed: A flatbed scanner has a flat glass surface on which the
document or picture to be scanned is placed.
Barcode: A barcode scanner is used for reading printed barcodes which
are made on different products.
6. Describe the following:
a. Laser printer b. Plotter c. ALU d. MU
Answer:
a. Laser printer: A laser printer produces the best quality prints. It can
print more pages in a minute than a dot-matrix or an inkjet printer.
b. Plotter: A plotter uses a pen to print accurate and high-quality drawings
such as maps, banners, posters and blueprints of houses and buildings. It
is commonly used by engineers, architects and map-makers.

Grade 4
c. ALU: It does all the arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division) and logical (greater than, lesser than, equal to) calculations.
d. MU: It is a temporary memory of the CPU. It holds data and information
which is to be processed (input data) and results (output) of the processed
data.
