The Computer knowledge or Computer awareness section has become an integral part of Bank Probationary Officers, Bank Clerk and Other Competitive Exams. As many people are thinking you shouldn't be a techie or a computer graduate to answer the computers section of the Bank Exams.In bank exams they are just checking whether you are familiar with computers or not... So its enough if you know the basic details of the computer (like what is it and how it works etc). The best thing with computer section is neither you shouldn't bang your head or waste time to solve the questions (as you do with Aptitude and Reasoning sections) nor you should irritate your mind daily (as you do with General Awareness section) ... you can just find out the answer with a simple glance at the given question. So automatically you can get more marks in less time.... The second best thing is the syllabus will be same for all bank exams. With a little preparation & Hardwork, you can score full marks in this section. Here we are giving you the complete details of the computers from basics with previous and practice papers of previous bank exams. Just read on.......... All the Best and Happy Reading :)

Computers Basics

Once upon a time, there was a sooper hero named Khan Kapoor Kumar. He was very inteligent (He thinks so). Hez proud of his name. But unfortunately people dont call him with his name. They call him Politician instead.. As days passed by, our sooper hero came to know that the reason behind the villagers treating him like a Politician is because, he lacks of a small organ called BRAIN. So he made an Ironbox and gave some electricity to it.

When he turned on the switch, it said YES, he marked it as 1

When he turned off the switch, it said NO, he marked it as 0

He became famous with this YES/NO Device. He added some circuits to it, so that it could perform some calculations. So he called it as Calculator. In-order to make his Ironbox remember calculations, he added some memory to it. And named it as Computer.

He added some Input Devices (Keyboard, Mouse, Scanner, Touch pad, Light-pen, Joystick) to it so that he can talk to it.

He added some Output Devices (Monitor, Speaker, Printer) to it so that the Ironbox can talk to him.

He felt happy because he developed a semi brain called Computer. So, he wanted to communicate with it.

He said "Hi"

It said "1011"

He said "How are you?"

It said "0110 1010 0101"

Then he realized that his Computer only can understand 1's and 0's. So he tried to talk in 1's and 0's language. Later he realized that its really hard to do that. So he attached a compiler to his Computer. The compiler converts his words into 1's and 0's and gives to the computer. And later converts the computer's response into our sooper hero's language.

Our hero felt that he almost Did it. But even our Compiler also cant understand our sooper Hero's language. So he developed some languages (C, C++, Java etc) to talk to the compiler.

So our sooper hero finally managed to build a Computer and Proved that hez a Brainless Brilliant.

How does Computer Work?

In this post we shall see some basic computer terminology which helps computer to work.

Input : Data / Information entered into the computer using various input devices.

Input Devices :

Keybord : To type the data
Mouse : To point and click the objects
Tracker Ball : Works similar to mouse, used by Graphic Designers
Scanners : Converts the Hardcopy into Softcopy (Simply scans paper documents and stores them in system)
Touchpad : The desktop which responds according to the Touch.
Light pens : Used to point the areas on the screen.
Joy Sticks : Used for Playing Videogames.

Input Devices

Output : Data / Information given by the computer. It displays on Monitor (Screen) / Prints via Printer / Generates sounds via Sound boxes and ofcourse stores the information in Disks.

Output Devices :

VDU : Video Display Unit. Also known as Monitor. Which displays output
Printers : There are many types of printers. These are used for converting the Soft-copy into Hard-copy (Printing the data on Paper)
Plotter : It is also similar to printer, but it can draw continuous point-to-point lines directly from vector graphics files or commands. So you can expect more clarity than printers.
Speakers : Gives the output in the Sound Signal form

OutPut Devices

Processing : The Processor/Central Processing Unit/CPU performs the operations with the help of ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit - which performs Mathematical and Logical Operations)

Storage : The Random Access Memory (RAM) or Memory temporarily stores your date while you are working with that.

Storage Devices :

Hard Disk : Internal Drive of High capacity which stores larger and important files including your Operating System.

The speed of the Hard disk is measured in milliseconds,
The capacity of the Hard Disk is measured in Giga Bytes (GB). You can get harddisks of 40-80GB now a days.
A Giga Byte is equalent to 1024 Mega Bytes (MB)

Floppy Disk : Its helps you to store smaller amount of data and take

It's speed is Very Very low.
Capacity normally 1.44 Mega Bytes (hardly you can store 6 or 7 wallpapers :P)

CD/CD ROM :

Slower than Hard Disks and Faster than Floppy Disks
Capacity 650+MB

DVD :

Slower than HardDisks but faster than CDs
Capacity upto 17Giga Bytes

Various Storage Devices
