Question

Y2K problem relates to:

Answer & Solution

Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option C: To find out a suitable replacement when the last two digits of the year become zero zero

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “To find out a suitable replacement when the last two digits of the year become zero zero ”.
The Y2K problem was a potential issue where older computer systems, which stored years using only two digits (e.g., 98 for 1998), might interpret the year 2000 as 1900. This could have led to errors in calculations, data processing, and system failures.  

Therefore, the primary concern was to find a solution to handle the transition from two-digit to four-digit year representation.
