Complete Questions and Answers

(i) Why is SRAM more efficient than DRAM?


SRAM is more efficient than DRAM because it is faster, consumes less power, and does not need
refreshing, making it ideal for cache memory.

(ii) What is the use of spreadsheet software?


Spreadsheet software (e.g., Excel) is used for data organization, calculations, graphing, and data
analysis.

(iii) How would you open an existing workbook?


To open an existing workbook in Excel, go to File > Open, then select the desired file from your
computer.

(iv) Write the function to calculate the average of cells (A1 to A5) in Excel.
The function to calculate the average of cells A1 to A5 in Excel:
=AVERAGE(A1:A5)

(v) Why is cache memory made using SRAM chips?


Cache memory is made using SRAM because it is faster, does not require refreshing, and has low
latency compared to DRAM.

(vi) Why is the I/O unit used to control the processor's communication with devices?
The I/O unit manages data transfer between the CPU and external devices, handling speed
differences and preventing data loss.

(vii) What are data transfer instructions?


Data transfer instructions move data between memory, registers, or I/O devices, e.g., MOV, PUSH,
POP, LOAD, STORE.

(viii) Define instruction register.


The Instruction Register (IR) holds the current instruction being executed, helps in decoding, and
sends it to the Control Unit for execution.

(ix) Describe two ways of spreading viruses.


Viruses spread through email attachments (infected files) and USB devices (infected drives), leading
to data loss and security risks.

(x) How is data security important?


Data security prevents unauthorized access, ensures data integrity, and protects sensitive
information from cyber threats.

(xi) List down two biometric techniques.


Two biometric techniques are fingerprint recognition (finger patterns) and face recognition (facial
features).

(xii) Why are search engines used over the internet?


Search engines help users find relevant web information quickly by indexing and ranking websites
efficiently.
