Intel's Pentium IV is a microprocessor, not an operating system — statement 1 is wrong. During booting, the operating system is the first software loaded into memory — statement 2 is correct. Digital computers do serve scientific as well as business and administrative applications, unlike analogue computers — statement 3 is correct. A micro-computer is a complete small computer, not another name for a microprocessor — statement 4 is wrong. Hence 2 and 3 are correct — (B).
