Question

Information is defined as :-
1. Processed Data
2. Unprocessed Data
3. Raw-facts
4. None of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Processed Data

The correct answer is Processed Data.

• The data are defined as numbers that represent measurements from the real world. Datum is a single measurement.
  • We often read the news like 20 centimetres of continuous rain in Barmer or 35 centimetres of rain at a stretch in Banswara in 24 hours or information such as New Delhi – Mumbai distance via Kota – Vadodara is 1385 kilometres and via Itarsi - Manmad is 1542 kilometres by train. This numerical information is called data. It may be easily realised that there is a large volume of data available around the world today.
  • However, at times, it becomes difficult to derive logical conclusions from these data if they are in raw form. Hence, it is important to ensure that the measured information is algorithmically derived and/or logically deduced and/or statistically calculated from multiple data. Information is defined as either a meaningful answer to a query or a meaningful stimulus that can cascade into further queries. 
• Information is a processed form of data. It is organized, meaningful, and useful.
