This set of Computer Organization and Architecture Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “BUS Structure”.

1. The main virtue for using single Bus structure is ____________
a) Fast data transfers
b) Cost effective connectivity and speed
c) Cost effective connectivity and ease of attaching peripheral devices
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: By using a single BUS structure we can minimize the amount of hardware (wire) required and thereby reducing the cost.

2. ______ are used to overcome the difference in data transfer speeds of various devices.
a) Speed enhancing circuitory
b) Bridge circuits
c) Multiple Buses
d) Buffer registers
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: By using Buffer registers, the processor sends the data to the I/O device at the processor speed and the data gets stored in the buffer. After that the data gets sent to or from the buffer to the devices at the device speed.
