The punched card used in the IBM system/3 contains.
The correct option is C 96 columns
The punched card used in the IBM system/3 contains
96 columns.
The IBM System/3 was an IBM midrange computer
introduced in 1969,[1] and marketed until 1985. It was produced by IBM
Rochester in Minnesota as a low-end business computer aimed at smaller
organizations that still used IBM 1400 series computers or unit record
equipment. The first member of what IBM refers to as their "midrange"
line, it also introduced the RPG II programming language.
In the late 1960s, IBM introduced a new, smaller, round-hole, 96-column
card format along with the IBM System/3 computer. These cards have tiny (1 mm),
circular holes, smaller than those in paper tape. Data is stored in 6-bit BCD,
with three rows of 32 characters each, or 8-bit EBCDIC. In this format, each
column of the top tiers are combined with two punch rows from the bottom tier
to form an 8-bit byte, and the middle tier is combined with two more punch
rows, so that each card contains 64 bytes of 8-bit-per-byte binary coded data.
