Question

If you press the key corresponding to letter a on the keyboard, what process is carried out inside the cpu to display the letter on the screen?

a. the cpu stores the keystroke as the letter ‘a’ and displays it on the screen.
b. the keyboard transfers the letter ‘a’ directly to the monitor, without passing through the cpu.
c. ‘a’ is converted to binary code, which the cpu processes. the computer then converts the code back ‘a’ for display.
d. ‘a’ is converted to special characters, which the screen translates back to ‘a’ for display.

Answer 1

The CPU converts the letter 'a' to binary code which it processes and sends to the monitor. The monitor then converts the binary code back to the letter 'a' and displays it on the screen.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you press the key corresponding to the letter 'a' on the keyboard, the process carried out inside the CPU to display the letter on the screen involves converting the letter 'a' to binary code. The CPU then processes this binary code and sends it to the monitor. The monitor then converts the binary code back to the letter 'a' and displays it on the screen.
