Which technology is applied in writing data onto a CD-RW disc to allow repeated overwriting? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which technology is applied in writing data onto a CD-RW disc to allow repeated overwriting?
A. Phase-change alloy material
B. Dye ablation
C. Floating gate transistor charging
D. Magnetic field reversal
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
CD-RW discs use a phase-change material that can transition between crystalline (reflective) and amorphous (absorbent) states via laser heating to clear or write data.

Question #1
What is the memory cache 'miss' penalty?
A. The financial cost of manufacturing faster cache chips.
B. The permanent loss of data due to system power fluctuations.
C. The reduction in processing speed when multiple applications compete for CPU space.
D. The extra time needed to fetch data from the slower main memory when it is not found in the cache.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
When the CPU looks for data in the cache and fails to find it (a cache miss), it suffers a time delay penalty because it must fetch that data from the slower system RAM.

Question #2
What size of storage data block is represented exactly by the term 'Kilobyte' (KB) in pure binary-scale computation systems?
A. 1024 Bytes
B. 512 Bytes
C. 2048 Bytes
D. 1000 Bytes

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In binary computer notation, a Kilobyte is calculated as $2^{10}$ bytes, which equals exactly 1024 bytes.

Question #3
What is the typical speed of a DVD drive at 16x?
A. 48.5 MB/s
B. 22.16 MB/s
C. 16 MB/s
D. 21.12 MB/s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
1x DVD is 1.32 MB/s, so 16x = 16 * 1.32 = 21.12 MB/s.
