Question

Consider the following statements about a computer mouse:
(1) It has a tail.
(2) It is an input device.
(3) It hibernates in winter.
Which of them relates to a computer mouse?

a)
only (1)
b)
only (2)
c)
only (3)
d)
Both (1) and (2)

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer

Understanding the Computer Mouse
The question presents three statements about a computer mouse and asks us to identify which of them are true. Let's analyze each statement to clarify why option 'B' is the correct answer.
Statement Analysis

(1) It has a tail.
- This statement is misleading. While some traditional computer mice had a cord (often referred to as a 'tail'), many modern mice are wireless and do not have any physical tail. Thus, this statement is not universally true for all computer mice.
(2) It is an input device.
- This statement is accurate. A computer mouse is indeed an input device used to interact with a computer, allowing users to navigate, click, and perform various actions on the screen.
(3) It hibernates in winter.
- This statement is irrelevant and incorrect. A computer mouse does not hibernate in winter as it is an electronic device, not a living creature. It operates based on user interaction regardless of the season.

Conclusion
Based on the analysis above:
- Only statement (2) is true.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' which states 'only (2)'.
In summary, the computer mouse is an essential tool for inputting commands into a computer, while the other statements do not apply accurately to its characteristics.
