Match List - I with List - II. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :List - I (operating system concepts) List - II (characteristics) (A) Paging (I) Evicts least recently used process (B) LRU (Least Recently Used) (II) Extends physical memory (C) C-SCAN (III) Logical to physical mapping (D) Virtual Memory (IV) Circular disk access
(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
The items are four standard operating-system mechanisms for memory and disk management.
(A) Paging — the logical address space is divided into pages and a page table maps each page to a physical frame, i.e. logical to physical mapping: (A)-(III).
(B) LRU (Least Recently Used) — a replacement policy that evicts the page (the item that has gone unused longest) that was least recently used: (B)-(I).
(C) C-SCAN — the disk head services requests in one direction only and then jumps back to the start, treating the cylinders as a circular list: (C)-(IV).
(D) Virtual Memory — uses secondary storage to give processes an address space larger than RAM, so it extends physical memory: (D)-(II).
Codes that call LRU circular disk access or paging an eviction policy mismatch these mechanisms, so the other three codes fail.
(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II) option is correct.

What is the most appropriate function of Memory Management Unit (MMU) ?
In a paged memory management algorithm, the hit ratio is 70%. If it takes 30 nanoseconds to search Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) and 100 nanoseconds (ns) to access memory, the effective memory access time is
In the context of Binding which one of the following is incorrect?
In a paging system, it takes 30 ns to search translation Look-a-side Buffer (TLB) and 90 ns to access the main memory. If the TLB hit ratio is 70%, the effective memory access time is :
Which of the following statement(s) regarding a linker software is/are true ?
I. A function of a linker is to combine several object modules into a single load module.
II A function of a linker is to replace absolute references in an object module by symbolic references to locations in other modules.
A memory management system has 64 pages with 512 bytes page size. Physical memory consists of 32 page frames. Number of bits required in logical and physical address are respectively :
A specific editor has 200 K of program text, 15 K of initial stack, 50 K of initialized data, and 70 K of bootstrap code. If five editors are started simultaneously, how much physical memory is needed if shared text is used ?
Computational circuitry in a CPU is referred to as the ____________
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: Major advantage of DRAM is that the capacitor cell never loses its charge and hence there is no need to refresh periodically.
Reason R: When DRAM is being refreshed, the data cannot be accessed.
