Asked In Exam: BPSC TRE 2.0

Options

  • A. ANSI
  • B. ASCII
  • C. EBCDIC
  • D. More than one of the above
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

B. ASCII

Detailed Explanation

Explanation:

When you press a key on the keyboard, it is converted into a binary code that the computer understands. ASCII is the standard encoding system commonly used to represent characters (like letters, numbers, symbols) in bits.

  • ANSI is more of a standards organization, not directly used for encoding keystrokes.
  • EBCDIC is used mainly in older IBM systems, not common in modern computers.

So, the correct choice is ASCII.
