[#806] The minimum time delay required between the initiation of two successive memory operations is known as
Correct Answer

(A) memory cycle time

Explanation

Solution: The minimum time delay required between the initiation of two successive memory operations is known as memory cycle time. Because of this, the minimum time delay between the initiations of two independent memory operations is called cycle time.

[#807] Which of the following terms describe 1024 kilobytes?
Correct Answer

(B) Megabyte

Explanation

Solution: One thousand kilobytes (1000 KB) is equal to one megabyte (1 MB), where 1 MB is one million bytes. There are (from largest to smallest): Gigabytes (GB), Megabytes (MB), Kilobytes (KB), Bytes and Bit. But that really doesn't tell you much other than a gigabyte is bigger than a kilobyte.

[#808] The flow and timing to data to and from the microprocessor is regulated by
Correct Answer

(A) control pins

Explanation

Solution: The flow and timing to data to and from the microprocessor is regulated by control pins. Control pins are used in conjunction with a downspout and metal level control system to the regulate flow of molten metal from the distribution launder into moulds for rolling ingot and T-ingot casting processes.

[#809] The total number of messages handled by a computerized telephone system on a daily basis is an example of:
Correct Answer

(C) Volume

Explanation

Solution: In computer systems, especially in data processing and telecommunications, the term "volume" refers to the quantity of data or messages being handled or processed. The total number of messages handled by a computerized telephone system on a daily basis represents the amount of data or workload the system processes. This is best described as "volume" because it indicates the size or magnitude of data rather than how often (frequency) or whether it's being changed (updating). Frequency refers to how often something happens, not how much. Updating refers to changing or modifying existing data. Hence, only Option C correctly describes the situation.

[#810] An internal storage consisting of arrays of small rings of magnetic material called ferrite is
Correct Answer

(B) Magnetic core

Explanation

Solution: An internal storage consisting of arrays of small rings of magnetic material called ferrite is Magnetic core. Magnetic-core memory, also called core memory or magnetic-core storage, any of a class of computer memory devices consisting of a large array of tiny toruses of a hard magnetic material that can be magnetized in either of two directions. The two directions can represent either of the values, 0 or 1, in a binary bit.
