About this MCQ
This Hard Computer Fundamentals MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Select the correct name for: an observation stating that the number of transistors on a microchip tends to double approximately every two years.”
The accepted answer is A. Moore's Law. “Select the correct name for: an observation stating that the number of transistors on a microchip tends to double approximately every two years.” is answered by Moore's Law (option A). Option B (“Boot process”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Moore's Law. Option C (“Unicode”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Moore's Law. Remaining alternatives (CLI) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Moore's Law 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.
