Question



Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Static RAM is typically used for PC's main memory while Dynamic RAM is used for CPU cache.
Reason R: Static RAM is faster and more expensive than Dynamic RAM.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

A.

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B.

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

C.

A is true but R is false

D.

A is false but R is true

Correct option is D


Assertion (A): False. Static RAM (SRAM) is used for CPU cache, while Dynamic RAM (DRAM) is used for a PC's main memory.
Reason (R): True. SRAM is faster and more expensive than DRAM, making it suitable for cache memory.
Information Booster:
1. Static RAM (SRAM):
· Retains data as long as power is supplied.
· Faster and more expensive.
· Used in CPU cache and registers.
2. Dynamic RAM (DRAM):
· Stores data using capacitors that need constant refreshing.
· Slower and cheaper.
· Used in main memory (RAM).
Additional Knowledge:
· SRAM uses flip-flops for storage, while DRAM uses capacitors.
· DRAM is more common in PCs due to its cost efficiency.
