Q1. In which generation of microprocessors is a VLSI chip (32-bit) used?
A First
B Second
C Third
D Fourth Correct
Explanation
The fourth generation of microprocessors is associated with VLSI technology and wider 32-bit processing. Earlier generations used less dense integration and lower capability chips: the first generation was based on early small-scale designs, the second moved ahead with improved integration, and the third generation is generally linked with more advanced but still pre-VLSI development. VLSI allowed a very large number of transistors to be placed on a single chip, enabling compact and more powerful processors. Hence the generation asked here is the fourth.
