question 19 of 25
what are functions that a computers cpu performs by following
programmed directions?

a. collecting information, storing data on remote servers, and
increasing memory

b. performing calculations and sending and receiving data

c. measuring file size, limiting energy output, and supplying power to
a memory chip

d. storing data, creating instructions, and managing the computers
memory

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Collecting info, storing on remote servers (usually network/storage, not CPU), increasing memory (CPU doesn't do this) → Incorrect.
• Option B: CPU performs calculations (arithmetic/logic) and handles data transfer (sending/receiving) as per instructions → Correct.
• Option C: Measuring file size (OS/storage), limiting energy (power management), supplying power (hardware) → Not CPU functions → Incorrect.
• Option D: Storing data (memory/storage), creating instructions (programmers/compilers) → CPU executes, not creates → Incorrect.

Answer:

B. Performing calculations and sending and receiving data
