Multiple choice questions in all papers and sections will contain four answers, of which only one
is correct. The types of questions in a paper may be based on following logic:
(i) Recall:
These are based on facts, principles, formulae or laws of the discipline. The candidate is
expected to be able to obtain the answer either from his/her memory of the subject or at most
from a one-line computation.Example
(ii) Comprehension:
These questions will test the candidate's understanding of the basics of his/her field, by requiring
him/her to draw simple conclusions from fundamental ideas.
(iii) Application:
In these questions, the candidate is expected to apply his/her knowledge either through
computation or by logical reasoning.
Example
These can be linked questions, where the answer to the first question of the pair is required in
order to answer its successor. Or these can be common data questions, in which two questions
share the same data but can be solved independently of one another.
Q.60 Which of the following lines of the data cache will be replaced by new blocks in accessing
the array for the second time?
(A) line 4 to line 11 (B) line 4 to line 12
(C) line 0 to line 7 (D) line 0 to line 8
The questions based on the above four logics may be a mix of single stand alone statement /
phrase / data type questions, combination of option codes type questions or match items types
questions.
