The computer performs five basic operations which are input, process, output, storage, and control. Statement I: Operating system is a set of programs necessary to carry out operations for a specified application. An operating system (OS) is the program that, after being initially loaded into the computer by a boot program, manages all of the other application programs in a computer. The application programs make use of the operating system by making requests for services through a defined application program interface. In addition, users can interact directly with the operating system through a user interface, such as a command-line interface or a graphical User Interface. Hence, the statement I is false. Statement II: Hardware represents the physical and tangible parts of the computer. Hardware is the most visible part of any information system: the equipment such as computers, scanners, and printers that are used to capture data, transform it and present it to the user as output. Physical components that make up your computer are known as Hardware. Computer hardware includes the physical, tangible parts or components of a computer, such as the central processing unit, monitor, keyboard, computer data storage, graphic card, sound card, speakers, and motherboard. By contrast, the software is instructions that can be stored and run by hardware. Hence, statement II is correct. Therefore, Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
