b. 32 bits

c. 31 bits

d. 30 bits

Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 Processor 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4510U Processor (2.0GHz, 4MB L3 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM (1 DIMM) Memory Hard Disk Drive 1TB (5400RPM) hard drive Display Graphics 14.0-inch diagonal HD BrightView LED-backlit Display (1366x768) NVIDIA® GeForce 840M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory

Explanation / Answer

Q1

b. 1/(2 * 10 ^ 9) sec

as the frequency is 2GHz

Q2

c. 2 * 10^9

as the frequency is 2GHz and each instruction takes 1 cycle

Q3

c. 4 MB L3 Cache

Cache is the fastest memory

Q4

a. 2 GB as mentioned in the specifications

Q5

as the ram is 8GB and if we assume the location is byte addressed

hence 2^33=8G memory locations and hence 33 bits will be required

Do give a thumbs up
