Detailed explanation-1: -1) A typical computer system is equipped with a hierarchy of memory subsystems, some internal to the system and some external.–> This statement is true. It is true that a computer system is equipped with hierarchy of memory subsystems, some internal to the system and some external.
Detailed explanation-2: -Computer systems contain a number of different buses that provide pathways between components at various levels of the computer system hierarchy. A bus that connects major computer components (processor, memory, I/O) is called a system bus.
Detailed explanation-3: -An obvious characteristic of memory is its capacity. For internal memory, this is typically expressed in terms of bytes (1 byte = 8 bits) or words. Common word lengths are 8, 16, and 32 bits. External memory capacity is typically expressed in terms of bytes.
