Question

Which of the following statements about computer memory is/are correct?

1. RAM is volatile memory, meaning it loses data when power is turned off.
2. ROM is used to store essential instructions required for the computer to boot.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. **RAM (Random Access Memory)** is a volatile memory type, which means it loses all stored information when the power supply is cut off. It temporarily holds data and programs that the CPU needs while the computer is running.

2. **ROM (Read-Only Memory)** is non-volatile memory that retains its contents even when the computer is powered down. It stores critical instructions, such as the BIOS or firmware, which are necessary for the initial booting of the computer.

3. Since both statements correctly describe the nature and function of RAM and ROM respectively, the correct answer is that **both statements 1 and 2 are true**.

**Answer:** Both 1 and 2
