RAM (Random Access Memory) is the hardware in a computing device where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept.
Q.3 What is another common name for a flash drive?
Pen Drive
Hard drive
SSD
None of these
Explanation
Flash drives are frequently called pen drives or thumb drives because of their small, portable size and USB connectivity.
Q.4 Which of the following types of memory is essential to start the computer?
Primary
Secondary
HDD
None of these
Explanation
Primary memory (specifically the firmware in ROM/BIOS) contains the startup instructions needed to boot the computer.
Q.5 Which of the following is classified as read/write memory?
RAM
ROM
HDD
None of these
Explanation
RAM is read/write memory because it allows the computer to both read stored data and write new data to it during operation.
Q.6 Which of the following is memory that can only be read but not written to during normal operation?
RAM
ROM
HDD
None of these
Explanation
ROM stands for Read-Only Memory; its contents are typically hard-coded and cannot be easily modified by the computer.
Q.7 The fundamental language that a computer can understand and execute directly is called?
Machine
C
C++
None of these
Explanation
Machine language consists of binary code (0s and 1s) that the CPU can execute without further translation.
Q.8 What does a standard floppy disk contain for data organization?
Circular tracks only
Sectors only
Both A & B
None of these
Explanation
Like most magnetic storage media, floppy disks are organized into concentric circles called tracks and pie-shaped wedges called sectors.
Q.9 A CD-ROM is primarily classified as which type of component?
Storage Device
Memory Register
Semiconductor
None of these
Explanation
A CD-ROM is an optical storage device used to store large amounts of digital data.
Q.10 From which of these media is information retrieval typically faster?
Floppy Disk
Hard Disk
CD-ROM
None of these
Explanation
Hard disks have significantly higher rotation speeds and data transfer rates compared to older floppy disks.
Q.11 In terms of data retention, ROM is considered a ________ memory.
Permanent
Temporary
Volatile
None of these
Explanation
ROM is non-volatile, meaning it retains its data permanently even when the power is turned off.
Q.12 What is the standard physical shape of a CD?

Oval
Square
None of these
Explanation
Compact Discs are manufactured as flat, circular (round) discs.
Q.13 Storage devices are designed to store a large amount of?
Words
Data

Q.14 What does the abbreviation CD stand for?
Compact Disk
Common Disk
Current Disc
None of these
Explanation
CD stands for Compact Disk, an optical medium used for storing digital data.
Q.15 How many bits are equal to 1 kilobit in the context of binary measurement?
1000 bits
1024 bits
1048 bits
None of these
Explanation
In the binary system used by computers, 1 kilobit is 2 to the power of 10, which equals 1024 bits.
Q.16 Which storage technique is utilized by a CD-ROM drive?
Magnetic storage technique
Optical storage technique
Solid state storage technique
None of these
Explanation
CD-ROMs use optical technology, where a laser reads microscopic pits and lands on the disc surface.
Q.17 Which of the following is an example of volatile memory?
RAM
ROM
CD
None of these
Explanation
RAM is volatile memory, meaning all stored information is lost when the computer’s power is turned off.
Q.18 What does the acronym ROM stand for?
Read only memory
Read on Memory
Red only Memory
None of these
Explanation
ROM stands for Read-Only Memory, which refers to storage media that is difficult or impossible to modify.
Q.19 Static and Dynamic (SRAM and DRAM) are types of which memory?
ROM
RAM
SSD
None of these
Explanation
Static RAM and Dynamic RAM are the two main variations of Random Access Memory used in modern systems.
Q.20 Among the following, which unit represents the highest storage capacity?
Bit
Byte
MB
GB
Explanation
In the hierarchy of storage units, a Gigabyte (GB) is much larger than a Megabyte (MB), which is larger than a Byte or a Bit.
