    What is missing the word?RANDOM ____________ MEMORY

    Explanation
    The missing word in the given question is "access" or "ACCESS". In computer science, "random access memory" (RAM) refers to a type of computer memory that allows data to be read from or written to in any order, regardless of the physical location of the data. The word "access" or "ACCESS" accurately completes the phrase and conveys the idea of being able to retrieve or store data in a non-sequential manner.

    Can we use Floppy disk to save Data?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. YES
    Explanation
    Floppy disks were commonly used in the past as a storage medium for saving data. They were small, portable, and had a decent amount of storage capacity for that time. However, with the advancement of technology, floppy disks have become obsolete and are no longer widely used. Most modern devices do not have floppy disk drives, and more efficient and reliable storage options like USB flash drives and cloud storage have replaced floppy disks. Therefore, while it is technically possible to use a floppy disk to save data, it is not practical or commonly done in today's digital age.

    Also Known as the "Non-Volatile" Memory

    • RAM

    • RAN

    • ROM

    • RAT

    • ROME

    Correct Answer
    A. ROM
    Explanation
    ROM stands for Read-Only Memory, which is a type of non-volatile memory. Non-volatile means that the data stored in ROM is retained even when the power is turned off. Unlike RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM cannot be modified or written to by normal computer operations. It contains permanent instructions that are programmed during manufacturing and cannot be changed or erased by normal computer operations. Therefore, ROM is commonly referred to as the "Non-Volatile" Memory.
