    Question



    Given below are two statements
    Statement I: The contents of most forms of RAM are volatile, thus making them unsuitable for long term data storage.
    Statement II: Hard disk has faster access of data in comparison to RAM as well processor registers.
    In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

    A.

    Both Statement I and Statement II are true

    B.

    Both Statement I and Statement II are false

    C.

    Statement I is true but Statement II is false

    D.

    Statement I is false but Statement II is true

    Correct option is C

    Statement I is true: RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile, meaning it loses its data when the computer is turned off, making it unsuitable for long-term storage.
    · Statement II is false: RAM and processor registers provide much faster access to data than hard disks. Hard disks are much slower compared to RAM and processor registers.
    Information Booster:
    1. Volatile memory loses its content when power is lost. RAM is an example of volatile memory.
    2. Processor registers are the fastest form of memory, followed by RAM, and then hard disks.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Non-volatile memory, such as SSDs and hard drives, retains data even when power is off.
