This document contains a question bank for the course "Computer Organization" with questions divided into multiple units.
Unit 1 covers basic concepts like binary codes, logic gates, flip-flops and combinational circuits. Unit 2 focuses on integrated circuits including decoders, multiplexers and memory units. Unit 3 is about instruction codes, addressing modes and assembly languages. Unit 4 discusses I/O systems and transfer modes. The final unit covers auxiliary memory techniques such as cache, virtual memory and memory management hardware.
