Which one is not TRUE among the below statements about Virtual Storage

  1. Implemented as a combination of real and auxiliary storage

  2. Code and data size independent of real memory

  3. Processor can not access large stimulated amount of real storage

  4. d.Data size is independent of real memory

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Virtual storage allows programs to use more memory than physically available by combining real storage with auxiliary storage like disk. Options A, B, and D describe true characteristics of virtual storage. Option C is NOT true because virtual storage specifically allows processors to access a larger simulated amount of storage than what physically exists.

AI explanation

The question asks which statement about virtual storage is NOT true. Virtual storage's entire purpose is to let the processor address a much larger amount of simulated (virtual) memory than physically exists as real storage, using a combination of real and auxiliary (disk) storage — that's the mechanism cited in the other options. So the statement 'Processor can not access large simulated amount of real storage' directly contradicts this core benefit and is the false one, making it the correct answer to 'which is NOT true.' The other three options correctly describe virtual storage: it combines real+auxiliary storage, and code/data size is independent of real memory size — both true statements about virtual memory systems (e.g., z/OS).
