1. Identify and explain the three major steps for effective file maintenance.

2. How do clock speed and word size determine the performance of a CPU?

3. which secondary storage devices are appropriate for :

a) Saving data during edit process.

b) Backup data and applications.

c) Distribute data and applications.

d) Transport data and applications.

e) Archive data and applications.

Solution

3) a) disk tapes

b) Internal/external Hard disk

c) portable USB drives

d) external hard disks

e) SSD /optical drives

2) Clock rate or speed is the rate at which instructions are executed.the faster is tye clock speed the higher is the number of instructions that can be executed per second.

The word size is the size of data that processor registers can hold at any point time for execution.

The larger the word size higher is number of instructions execited per second hence high performance.here the registers are cache registers.
