All computer systems perform the following five basic operations for
converting raw input data into useful information-

1. Inputting: Process of entering data and instructions into a

computer system.
2. Storing: Saving data and instructions to make them readily
available for initial or additional processing as and when required.
3. Processing: Performing arithmetic operations (add, subtract,
multiply, divide, etc.) or logical operations (comparisons like equal
to, less than, greater than, etc.) on data to convert them into
useful information.
4. Outputting: Process of producing useful information or results for
a user, such as printed reports or visual displays.
5. Controlling: Directing the manner and sequence in which the
above operations are performed.
 Q.13

Consider the following options

A. Information consists of the raw facts and figures
