NIMCET 2022 — Computer PYQ
NIMCET | Computer | 2022If a processor clock is rated as 2500 million cycles per second, then its clock period is
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
2.50×10−10 sec
- B.
1.00×10−10 sec
- C.
4.00×10−10 sec
4.00×10−10 sec
Explanation
The relationship between frequency (f) and time period (T) is defined by the reciprocal formula:
T=f1
Step 1: Identify the given frequency.
The processor is rated at 2500 million cycles per second (Hertz).
f=2500×106 Hz
f=2.5×109 Hz (or 2.5 GHz)
Step 2: Calculate the clock period (T).
T=2.5×1091 sec
To simplify the division, we can write 1 as 10×10−1:
T=2.510×10−1×10−9 sec
T=4×10−10 sec
∴Correct Option: C
