Q708

Perforated paper used as input or output media is known as

A.
Paper tape
B.
Magnetic tape
C.
Punched paper tape
Answer
D.
Card punch
E.
None of the above

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Punched paper tape is a form of perforated paper that was historically used as an input or output medium in early computing and telecommunication systems.

It stores data using patterns of holes punched in specific positions across the width of the tape, each row representing a character or instruction.

Paper tape (Option A) is a general term and may not explicitly refer to the punched version.

Magnetic tape is a different storage medium that uses magnetic signals, not perforations.

Card punch refers to punched cards, not tapes.

Therefore, the correct and most specific term for perforated paper used as input or output media is punched paper tape.
