What is the unit of measurement for memory speed in RAM? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

What is the unit of measurement for memory speed in RAM?
A. Both A and C
B. MHz
C. MB/s
D. MT/s
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
RAM speed is often measured in MHz (cycles per second) and MT/s (megatransfers per second) for DDR modules, where the effective data rate is double the clock frequency.

Question #1
Which type of memory is directly accessible by the CPU without going through the bus?
A. Cache
B. RAM
C. Registers
D. Hard disk

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Registers are internal to the CPU and are directly accessible by the CPU's arithmetic/logic unit, providing the fastest possible access.

Question #2
What is the relationship between access speed and storage capacity across the standard computer memory hierarchy?
A. Lower capacity devices always exhibit the slowest access times.
B. Access speed and capacity are completely identical metrics across all levels.
C. Devices with larger capacities always feature the fastest access speeds.
D. As storage capacity increases, the relative access speed generally decreases.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In the memory hierarchy, the fastest options (registers, cache) are small and expensive, while large capacity options (HDDs, SSDs) are farther from the CPU and have slower access speeds.

Question #3
Which of the following is an example of primary storage?
A. CD-ROM
B. Pen drive
C. RAM
D. Hard disk

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Primary storage (or main memory) includes RAM and cache, which are directly accessible by the CPU. Secondary storage includes hard disks, optical discs, and pen drives.
