List - I (System Name) List - II (Year/Time period) A. The Mark I computer I. 1951 B. IBM-701 II. 1953 C. IBM-650 III. 1937-44 D. The Universal Automatic Computer One (UNIVAC - I) IV. 1952
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
This question requires matching historical computer systems from List - I with their corresponding development or operational years from List - II.
Matching Early Computer Systems with Their Time Periods
We need to align each computer system with its correct year or time period. Let's examine each item based on the provided correct answer:
A. The Mark I computer Match (List - I Item A)
The Mark I computer, also known as the Harvard Mark I, was an electromechanical computer. Its development spanned several years, starting in the late 1930s and completed in 1944. Therefore, the time period 1937-44 (List - II Item III) is the correct match.
Match: A - III
B. IBM-701 Match (List - I Item B)
The IBM-701, known as the Defence Calculator, was IBM's first commercial scientific computer. It was announced in 1952. The provided correct answer matches it with 1952 (List - II Item IV).
Match: B - IV
C. IBM-650 Match (List - I Item C)
The IBM-650 was one of the first mass-produced computers. It was announced by IBM in 1953. The correct match according to the options is 1953 (List - II Item II).
Match: C - II
D. The Universal Automatic Computer One (UNIVAC - I) Match (List - I Item D)
The UNIVAC I (Universal Automatic Computer I) was the first American commercial electronic digital computer. Its first commercial delivery was in 1951. The correct match is 1951 (List - II Item I).
Match: D - I
Final Correct Matching
Based on the analysis aligning with the provided correct option:
| List - I System | List - II Year/Time Period | Match |
|---|---|---|
| A. The Mark I computer | III. 1937-44 | A - III |
| B. IBM-701 | IV. 1952 | B - IV |
| C. IBM-650 | II. 1953 | C - II |
| D. UNIVAC - I | I. 1951 | D - I |
This corresponds to the option A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
