How many bit code is used by Murray code for TELEPRINTER machines.

Answer: B

Correct answer: 5

The Murray code, the teleprinter code standardised as ITA2, uses 5 bits per character. That gives \( 2^5 = 32 \) patterns - too few for letters, digits and punctuation together, so two of the patterns shift the machine between a letter case and a figure case, doubling the effective set.

Which type of system puts the user into direct conversation with the computer through a keyboard?

Answer: B

Correct answer: Interactive computer

In interactive working the user types at a keyboard, the machine responds at once, and the next entry depends on that response - a conversation. Batch processing accepts a job and returns results later with no dialogue at all, and time sharing describes how the processor is divided between users rather than the style of the exchange.

A computer assisted method for the recording and analyzing of existing or hypothetical systems is

Answer: B

Correct answer: Data flow

A data flow diagram records a system as processes, data stores and the flows between them, so an existing or a proposed system can be drawn and analysed before any code is written. Data capture, transmission and processing name individual operations on data, not a method of describing a whole system.
