Which of the following is a type of memory that is used for the CPU's Level 2 (L2) cache? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a type of memory that is used for the CPU's Level 2 (L2) cache?
A. SRAM
B. SDRAM
C. DRAM
D. Flash
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
L2 cache is also built with SRAM for speed, though it may be larger and slightly slower than L1.

Question #1
What is the purpose of error-correcting code (ECC) memory?
A. To increase memory speed
B. To detect and correct data corruption
C. To reduce power consumption
D. To increase memory capacity

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
ECC memory includes extra parity bits to detect and correct single-bit errors, improving data integrity, especially in servers.

Question #2
What is the typical data rate of a Blu-ray drive (1x speed)?
A. 4.5 MB/s
B. 36 MB/s
C. 11 MB/s
D. 7.5 MB/s

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
1x speed for Blu-ray is defined as 36 MB/s (or 36 Mbps? Actually, it's 36 Mbit/s? Wait: 1x Blu-ray is 36 Mbps (4.5 MB/s). Let's check: 1x DVD is 11.08 Mbps (1.32 MB/s), 1x CD is 150 KB/s. Blu-ray 1x is 36 Mbps = 4.5 MB/s. But common speeds are faster. Let me verify: Actually, 1x Blu-ray = 36 Mbit/s (4.5 MB/s). Some sources say 36 Mbit/s = 4.5 MB/s. So option A (4.5 MB/s) is correct. However, I've also seen 1x Blu-ray = 36 MB/s? Let's recall: Blu-ray standard defines 1x at 36 Mbps (megabits per second). So 4.5 MB/s. So correct answer is A: 4.5 MB/s.

Question #3
What is the name of the high-speed data transfer mechanism that allows specific hardware subsystems to access main system memory independently of the central processing unit?
A. Paging Protocol
B. Bus Mastering
C. Interrupt Request (IRQ)
D. Direct Memory Access (DMA)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
DMA (Direct Memory Access) allows peripherals like network cards or graphics adapters to read/write directly to system RAM without routing the data through the CPU, reducing processor overhead.
