Which of the following examples most appropriately represents the 'Speed' characteristic of the computer?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Calculation and generation of salary slips of thousands of employees of an organization.
Explanation:
● The characteristic of Speed in a computer refers to its ability to perform a huge number of calculations or process large volumes of data in a fraction of a second.
● Option (a) "Calculation and generation of salary slips of thousands of employees" best illustrates Speed because it involves processing a large volume of data very quickly, a task that would take humans a very long time.
Information Booster:
● Option (b) refers to Accuracy (precision in calculations).
● Option (c) refers to Diligence (ability to work without fatigue or loss of concentration).
● Option (d) refers to Versatility (ability to perform different types of tasks).
Additional Knowledge:
● Computer speed is often measured in MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per Second) or FLOPS (Floating Point Operations Per Second).
