What the quiz covers
Computer organisation and architecture is a high-weight GATE CSE subject, and its numericals on pipelines and caches are favourites. The 25 questions are grouped into 10 areas, shown above each question: CPU, ISA, Addressing modes, Pipelining, Memory, I/O, Arithmetic, Control unit, Data representation, Performance.
A sample question explained
"A cache has a 90% hit ratio, 10 ns access and 100 ns main memory (simple model: hit 10 ns, miss 110 ns). The average time is" The answer is 20 ns. 0.9 × 10 + 0.1 × 110 = 20 ns. Read each cache numerical carefully: some questions count the miss time as the main memory time alone, others as cache plus memory.

Study tips
- Solve each numerical on paper before choosing; the formulas matter more than the options.
- Make a one-page sheet of pipeline and cache formulas.
- Aim for at least 20 out of 25 on two separate attempts before you treat Computer organisation as revised; one lucky score can hide gaps.
Questions and options are shuffled on each attempt, so a retake is a fresh test. The Computer organisation questions were written by Uncodemy for practice; they aren't copied from any exam or company test.
