Computer Types Hierarchy

To arrange the computers by decreasing order of cost, speed, and size, we need to understand their general hierarchy in computing.

Ranking Computer Types

The general order from highest cost, speed, and size to lowest is:

  • Supercomputers (B): These are the most powerful, fastest, and typically largest and most expensive computers, designed for complex scientific and engineering computations.
  • Mainframe computers (C): Extremely powerful and expensive, used by large organizations for bulk data processing, transaction processing, and enterprise resource planning. They are generally slower and smaller than supercomputers but more powerful than mini-computers.
  • Mini computers (A): Mid-range computers, less powerful and costly than mainframes, often used by medium-sized businesses or for specific departmental tasks.
  • Micro computers (D): Also known as personal computers (PCs), these are the least expensive, slowest, and smallest, designed for individual users.

Decreasing Order Determination

Based on the hierarchy, the decreasing order of cost, speed, and size is:

  1. Super computers (B)
  2. Mainframe computers (C)
  3. Mini computers (A)
  4. Micro computers (D)

Thus, the correct sequence is B, C, A, D.
