Question

When the accumulated data from various sources is processed in one slot it is called:

• A. Batch processing
• B. Data validation
• C. Real time processing
• D. Processing and Revalidation

Hint:

Batch processing is efficient for routine and periodic tasks like salary processing or electricity billing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Batch Processing is a method where data is collected and stored over time and then processed together in one go.
It is useful when:
- Large volumes of data are handled
- Immediate output is not required
- Example: Payroll run, Bank clearing, Utility billing
In contrast:
- Real-time processing handles data instantly as it arrives
- Data validation checks for correctness
- Processing and Revalidation is not a formal processing method
Thus, the correct term for accumulated, grouped processing is Batch Processing.
