Computer Awareness Memory Management Easy

Decreasing the RAM of a computer typically leads to which of the following outcomes?

(A) Virtual memory increases
(B) Page faults increses
(C) Page faults decreases
(D) Segmentation faults occurs.
✓ Correct Answer: Option B Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

With less RAM, fewer pages of each process can be kept in main memory at the same time.

So the pages a program needs are more often not in memory, and the OS must bring them from disk. That means page faults increase (and the system may start thrashing).

Answer: (B)
