Q. 5
Computer Aptitude Test
Difficulty: Hard

If in a computer, 16 bits are used to specify address in a RAM, the number of addresses will be:
A
216
B
65536
C
64K
D
Any above
✓ Correct
💡
Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
Calculation: 216=65,536.
To find the number of unique memory addresses that can be generated using a given number of address bits, we use the formula: $(\text{Number of addresses}=2^{n})$ Where \(n\) is the number of bits. Given \(n = 16\):
A ($2^{16}$): This represents the direct mathematical expression of the formula (\(2^{16}\)). (Note: In many standard digital electronics multiple-choice questionnaires, option A is printed as "216" due to a typo omitting the superscript formatting for $(2^{16})$).
B (65536): Evaluating the exponential formula gives exactly \(2 \times 2 \times 2 \dots = 65,536\) unique addressable locations.
C (64K): In computer memory architecture, \(1\text{ K}\) (Kilobyte/Kibi) is equal to $(2^{10} = 1,024)$. Dividing our total addresses by this unit gives:
$$(\frac{65,536}{1,024}=64)$$
