Identify the correct concept described as: a computer design model in which program instructions and data share the same memory.
Difficulty: Hard
About this MCQ
This Hard Computer Fundamentals MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Identify the correct concept described as: a computer design model in which program instructions and data share the same memory.”
The accepted answer is B. Von Neumann architecture. “Identify the correct concept described as: a computer design model in which program instructions and data share the same memory.” is answered by Von Neumann architecture (option B). Option A (“Input device”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Von Neumann architecture. Option C (“Byte”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Von Neumann architecture. Remaining alternatives (ASCII) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Von Neumann architecture is identified. Computer Fundamentals questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Computer Fundamentals recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
