Computer Fundamentals Questions and Answers

Answer: C

Correct answer: Optical disk

A CD-ROM stores data as pits and lands pressed into a reflective layer and reads them with a laser beam, so it is an optical disk. Magnetic disks record by magnetising a coating and read it with a head, and a magneto-optical disk combines both techniques - a laser to heat the spot, a magnetic field to write it.

Answer: B

Correct answer: is taking page frames from other working sets

Page stealing is the memory manager taking a frame away from one process’s working set to satisfy another’s page fault. It is a sign that memory is over-committed, not that the system is well tuned, and it leads to thrashing if it goes far enough.

One gigabyte is equal to how many megabytes ?

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1024

Each step in the traditional binary hierarchy multiplies by 1024, since \(2^{10} = 1024\). So 1024 bytes make a kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes a megabyte and 1024 megabytes a gigabyte.
