Neco 2022 Data Processing Objective / Multiple Choice Medium Difficulty
Question 47 NECO • 2022 • DATA_PROCESSING • objective

In a data‑processing system the stages are Input, Validation, Processing, Storage, Output and Feedback. During a payroll run the Input stage correctly reads employee hours, but a software bug causes the Validation stage to accept any negative hour value, so the Processing stage computes salaries with negative hours and the Output stage prints a report showing some employees with negative net pay. Identify which stage(s) must be examined and corrected to eliminate the error, and explain why fixing only the Processing stage would not fully resolve the problem.

Answer Options

A. The Storage stage must be examined and corrected; fixing only the Processing stage would not prevent the negative hours from being stored.
B. Both the Input and Output stages must be examined and corrected; fixing only the Validation stage would not address the incorrect report formatting.
C. The Processing stage must be examined and corrected; fixing only the Validation stage would not stop the negative hours from being computed.
Correct Answer D. The Validation stage must be examined and corrected; fixing only the Processing stage would merely mask the bad data but would not prevent invalid (negative) hours from entering the system.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
The Validation stage must be examined and corrected; fixing only the Processing stage would merely mask the bad data but would not prevent invalid (negative) hours from entering the system.
