Which of the following is a characteristic of a hard disk's platter?
A. It is a non-removable part of an SSD
B. It stores data in flash cells
C. It rotates at a constant speed
D. It is made of silicon
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)

Question #1
Which mathematical base forms the underlying structural logic of standard computer memory capacity measurements?
A. Base 8 (Octal)
B. Base 2 (Binary)
C. Base 16 (Hexadecimal)
D. Base 10 (Decimal)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Computer systems process binary logic states (0 and 1). Thus, memory capacities naturally scale using powers of 2 (e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64).
