Correct:
A
Explanation
FORTRAN (short for Formula Translation) is a high-level computer programming language developed by IBM in the 1950s. It was specifically designed for scientific, mathematical, and engineering applications. It is recognized as the first widely used high-level programming language and remains significant today in high-performance computing for tasks like weather prediction and computational physics.
- Option B and C: These are incorrect because FORTRAN is a general-purpose programming language, not a specific industrial assembly software or a computer hardware brand.
- Option D: This is incorrect. India's first supercomputer was PARAM 8000, developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), not DRDO.
