Devices A and B have similar overall performance due to identical specifications in all three categories they were evaluated in. These devices, along with Device C, are also likely to consume more energy when running, due to their higher Energy Efficiency wattage rating of 53 W compared to Device D's 12 W.
The comparison of devices A and B shows that they have the same ratings in each category: Processing Speed (15 MHz), Storage Capacity (12 GB), and Energy Efficiency (53 W), making them similar in overall performance. Device C has a different configuration, with higher Storage Capacity but lower Processing Speed and identical Energy Efficiency when compared to A and B. Device D, on the other hand, stands out greatly with a high Processing Speed and Energy Efficiency, but it shares the same Storage Capacity with Device C. When it comes to energy consumption, the higher the Energy Efficiency rating in watts, the more energy the device will consume while running. A device rated at 53 watts will consume more energy than one rated at 12 watts. Thus, Devices A, B, and C, with an Energy Efficiency rating of 53 W, are likely to consume a lot of energy when they are on/running as compared to Device D which is rated at 12 W.
The probable question may be:
In a technological survey, four types of devices (A, B, C, and D) were evaluated based on three criteria: Processing Speed (in megahertz), Storage Capacity (in gigabytes), and Energy Efficiency (in watts). The table below shows the average ratings for each device in these categories:
Device Processing Speed (MHz) Storage Capacity (GB) Energy Efficiency (W)
A 15 12 53
B 15 12 53
C 12 15 53
D 53 15 12
Without doing any calculations, select all of the devices below that you can be certain have similar overall performance.
A) Device A and Device B
B) Device A and Device C
C) Device B and Device D
D) Device C and Device D
