A Central Processing Unit (CPU) contains

  • A.A card reader and a printing device.
  • B.An analytical engine and a control unit.
  • C.A control unit and an arithmetic/logic unit.
  • D.An arithmetic logic unit and a card reader.

Answer: C

Correct answer: A control unit and an arithmetic/logic unit.

The CPU is conventionally described as those two parts. The control unit fetches, decodes and sequences instructions; the arithmetic and logic unit performs the calculations and comparisons.

Registers are usually counted with them, and modern processors add cache and several execution units, but the two-part description remains the standard model. Card readers and printers are peripherals, outside the processor entirely, and "analytical engine" is Babbage's term for a whole machine.
