Bank Clerk Exam Computer Sample Questions

Bank Clerk Exam Computer Sample Questions

Parts of a computer : The parts of the computer can be grouped into Input devices, the Processor and the Output devices.

a) Input devices : Key board, mouse, joystick,
scanner, bar code reader etc. are called input devices. Data and
instructions need to be entered into the memory of the computer to
perform various tasks. . The input devices enable the users to input
the data into the system which is processed in the processor and
delivers the output.

b) Output devices : These are the devices through which the computer can provide the

results to the user. Printers, Monitor etc. are output devices.

c) Central Processing unit (CPU) : All the computing
in a computer is done by the Central Processing Unit and the Main
Memory of the computer. This is the brain of the computer. The input
from the input devices is fed into the CPU for processing. The CPU uses
software to process this input and sends the output to the output
devices. CPU consists of two parts viz.,

(i) Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) and

(ii) Control Unit

Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) : It is the part of
the CPU that does all the arithmetic and logical operations like
addition, subtraction, multiplication, division operations such as X
>Y etc.

Control unit : It coordinates all the operations of
the computer. It controls the input and output devices, the ALU and the
memory. It also ensures that instructions in the software are carried
out.

Memory Storage : The memory storage is of two types.

(1) Primary Memory and (2) Secondary Memory.

Primary Memory : This is the main memory of the computer and is linked to the CPU and is

part of the base unit. RAM and ROM are different divisions of the primary memory.

a) Read Only Memory (ROM) : This is meant for
information that is permanently required to run the computer and will
remain, even if the computer is switched off. This is important because
it contains all the information that the computer requires to start up.

b) Random Access Memory (RAM) : This is used for temporary storage. All the data and programs required for running a process are stored here, until

the process is over. More RAM storage space can make the computer work
faster. All the data o the RAM is lost when the power is turned off.

Secondary Memory : All the data and programmes which
are not running on the CPU are stored in the secondary memory. They are
copied into the RAM whenever they are required.

The commonly used secondary memory storage devices are disks and tapes.
There are three types of disks‐ Hard Disk, Floppy Disk and Compact
Disk. Hard disks are fitted into the computer whereas the floppy disks,
compact disks can be taken out and kept outside. A floppy can hold only
1.44 MB of information whereas compact disks can hold about 600 MB of
data.

The floppy drive is referred to as ‘A’ drive. If there is a second
floppy drive on the computer it is referred to as ‘B’ drive and the
hard disk is termed as ‘C’ drive. The alphabets D,E, F etc., are
reserved for additional hard drives that the computer may have.

Some storage devices. :

1. Floppy disk – 3 ½ inch diameter (previously we had 5 ¼ inch floppy
disks also) : It is divided into concentric circles called tracks and
the tracks are further divided into sectors. There is a small hole on
the disk called index hole which denotes the starting point of the
first sector. The 3 ½ inch floppy disks can store 1.44 MB or 2.88 MB of
information.

2. Hard Disk : The disk consists of a disk pack containing hard disks/platters stacked onto

one another. A single hard disk is made of metal and coated on both sides with

metallic oxide. Hard disks can store large volumes of data as compared
to floppy disks. Today we can see hard disks of capacity of 40 GB to
200 GB and even more. Portable (external) hard disks are also available
now.

3. Digital Audio Tape (DAT) : This is widely used in
our Bank for taking backups particularly in Bankmaster branches. It
looks like an audio cassette and can store large volume of data ranging
from 2 GB to 20 GB and even more.

4. CD ROM : These are also widely used now‐a‐days for
data storage, storing music, video (cinemas) etc. Compact Disk (CD) can
store up to 700 MB of data on it. Rewritable CDs are also available.
This is a form of optical storage.

5. DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) : DVDs also look like
CDs but can store much more data than that in CD. They can store 4.7 GB
data on it. Dual layer DVDs can store almost double the data that can
be stored on a normal DVD (single layer) i.e., up to 8.5 GB. Data
recording is accomplished by burning the laser beam on CDs and DVDs.

6. Pen Drives / Flash Drives : These are also storage
media ranging from 256 MB to 8 GB and more. These are very small and
portable and easy to carry volume of data.

and more. These are very small and portable and easy to carry volume of data.

9. Explain about ‘software’.

Software : Computer can not work on its own. It must be given instructions in sequence to

work. Such instructions in any computer language is called a computer programme. Software

refers to the set of programs that control the activity of processing by the computer. The

computer software is classified into two broad categories –

a) Application software : Also known as application packages. This is a set of one or more

programs that are developed or written to do a specific job. Eg. An application package of

a company to process its sales data and to generate various sales reports.

b) System software : Set of one or programmes which are developed to control the

operation of the computer system. These programs do not solve specific problems but

they are general programs which help the user in the use of the computer system.

Hardware and software of a computer are interdependent on each other. They are like the two

sides of the same coin. The hardware cannot work on its own and the software cannot be

used without the hardware.

10. Explain about ‘Operating Systems’.

We need a ‘system’ (a software program) which helps us to use the
computer effectively and efficiently. Such a software programme is
called “Operating System” (OS) software. Operating

System falls under the category of system software. A computer cannot
function without an operating system. The OS is the means by which a
user can communicate with the computer.

All input and output devices, all actions and processes inside the
computer are controlled by the OS. The OS communicates the user’s
instructions to all the parts of the computer.

An operating system is a set of programs designed to manage the entire
operations of a computer system. It does not do any specific work but
it is a general program which assists the user by doing the following
operations.

• controlling all of the operations including input/output operations, arithmetic operations

and internal movement of information.

• Communicating with peripheral devices (printers, disk and tape devices).

• Supporting the running of other software.

There are many operating systems like Unix, Linux, Mac, MS‐DOS, Windows etc.

11. Explain about ‘Microsoft Disk Operating System’ (MS‐DOS).

MS‐DOS is one of the most popular operating systems. Let us now have a look at some important MS‐DOS commands.

The command prompt : When you first turn on the
computer, you will see some cryptic information flash by. When the
information stops scrolling past, you will see the following :

This is called command prompt. The flashing underscore next to the
command prompt is called the cursor. The cursor shows where the command
you type will appear. DOS commands can be entered and executed one at a
time from the DOS prompt. The commands can be typed either in lower
case or upper case. You must press ‘enter’ key after every command you
type.

DOS commands are basically two types. They are ‐‐

A) Internal Commands : These are a few special commands that are automtically loaded into

the computer memory when the system is booted. Some important internal commands are listed below :

B) External commands : These are some of the DOS commands that are stored as files on the DOS system disk.

Some important and commonly used commands are briefly explained below:

1. DIR (Directory) : Displays a list of the files and
subdirectories that are in the directory you specify. When used without
parameters or swithces it gives the particulars such as file extension,
file size in bytes, date and time the file was last modified, total
number of files listed, their cumulative size and free space remaining
on the disk.

2. MD or MK DIR (MAKE DIRECTORY) : Used to create another directory in the drive in which we are working presently.

3. CD (CHANGE DIRECTORY) : We can switch over in to another directory from the present directory with the help of this command.

4. TYPE : With the help of this command we can view the contents of a file.

5. REN (RENAME) : Used to change the name of a file.

6. DEL (DELETE) & ERASE : to delete unwanted files from the directories this command is used. This command can be used in the following way.

7. RD or RMDIR (REMOVE DIRECTORY) : Used to remove the directory permanently from the computer. Syntax at the prompt is : RD .
However, before removing the directory, all the files in the directory
have to be deleted by using del or erase command. Then only the RD
command works and removes the directory from the computer.

8. COPY : This is one of the most useful commands. To
copy a file from one place to another place this command is used. Also
used to store files on to floppy disks.

9. DATE and TIME : These commands are used to see the
current date and time. The date and time can also be changed using
these commands if necessary.

10. FORMAT : Creates new root directory and file
allocation table for the disk. It can also check for bad areas on the
disk and it can delete all data on the disk.

11. UNFORMAT:Restores a disk that was erased by using ‘Format’ command.

12. DISKCOPY : Copies the entire contents of one
floppy disk to another floppy disk. Diskcopy writes over the existing
contents of the destination disk as it copies the new information to it.

13. XCOPY : Copies directories, their subdirectories
and files except hidden and system files. With this command, you can
copy all the files in a directory including the files in the
subdirectories of that directory. XCOPY source [destination]

14. SORT : Reads input, sorts data and writes the results to the screen, a file or another

device. SORT acts as a filter reading characters in a specified column and rearranging them in ascending or descending order.

15. TREE : Graphically displays the structure of a directory.

16. EDIT : Starts MS‐DOS editor, a text editor which is useful to create and edit ASCII text

files. MS‐DOS editor is a full screen editor that allows you to create, edit, save and print ASCII text files.

17. DELTREE : Deletes a directory and all its files and subdirectories.

18. FIND : Searches for a specific string of text in a file or files.

19. HELP : Starts MS‐DOS help.

20. MOVE : Moves one or more files to the location you specify. Can also be used to rename files and directories.

21. PATH : Indicates which directories MS‐DOS should search for executable files (programs).

22. PRINT : Prints a text file.

23. SCANDISK : Checks disks for damage and repairs them, if needed.

24. DEFRAG : Recognises the files on a disk to optimise disk performance. (This command

shall not be used while you are running Windows .)

25. CLS : Clears the screen.

12. What are wild characters?

WILDCARDS : A wildcard is a character that can
represent one or more characters in a file name. If you want to carry
out a task for a group of files whose names have some thing

common, you need not use the same command repeatedly for each file name
in the group. Wildcards can be used to specify groups of files. Two
wildcards are used in MS‐DOS. They are `*’ (asterisk) and `?’ (question
mark). The `*’ represents one or more characters that a group of files
has in common whereas the `?’represents a single character that a group
of files has in common.

Eg.

*.txt ‐ represents all files having a “.txt” extension.

letter.*‐ all files named “letter” with any extension R*.* ‐ all files
beginning with letter ‘R’ regardless of their extension ????.* ‐ all
files having four‐letter names with any or no extension. If `*’ is
used, when you specify a file name, MS‐DOS ignores letters that come
after the `*’ up to the dot (.). Eg. *m.exe would have the same result
as *.exe has. Similarly, if the `*’ is used in the extension, DOS
ignores the letters that apper afterward. Eg. Letter.*xt would have the
same result as letter.*.

13. Explain about the ‘Windows’ operating system.

This is a simple Operating System to learn and use. The user need not
memorise or type many commands. We find small pictures called icons on
the screen which can be used to run programs. This is called GUI
(Graphic User Interface). Microsoft Inc. of USA developed the Windows
Operating System. It has undergone many versions such as Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP and the latest version
is Windows Vista.

When we switch on the computer, the OS is the first software
programme that is loaded. This is called booting. After the process of
booting first the Windows opening screen and then another screen called
Windows Desktop appears. The small pictures on the desktop are called
icons. The icons represent application software that are stored in the
computer.

The name of the program is written below the icon.

At the bottom of the desktop we find a grey coloured strip called
task bar. On the left of the task bar is a button named Start. The
right side of the task bar shows the time. The task bar shows all the
programs that are currently running on the computer.

Mouse : We find an arrow shaped pointer on the
screen, the movement of which is controlled by moving the mouse. The
mouse has two buttons on it. Clicking the left button once indicates a
choice or selection. Clicking the left button twice in rapid succession
causes the selected application or command to run or begin operation

When we click on the start button on the task bar, a box with a list
of options opens up. This is called a Menu. As you move the mouse over
the choices in the menu, the item below the pointer is highlighted.

Window : A window is the part of the desktop that
is used by an application software. All application programs that we
use will have a window.

A window has six important parts.

• Border

• Title Bar ‐ contains minimize, maximize, close buttons

• Menu Bar ‐ contains menus with options for different tools

• Tool Bar ‐ contains icons of the tools of application which Are frequently used.

• Large empty white portion ‐ actual working area

• Status Bar ‐ at the bottom of the window.

Files & Folders : When you draw a picture or
write a letter using a computer, this picture or letter is stored in
digital form as a file. A file is a unit of stored data or programs. It
has a file name and a type for identifying it. The names may contain
file extensions.

A collection of files kept together is called a folder. It can
contain files of many types. Just as files, folders also have names.
Folders do not have extensions. A folder can have subfolders inside it.
(Sub‐folders are folders within folders.)

Windows Explorer : Windows explorer is an application in Windows 98 which is very useful
