SSC CGL Tier II - 26 October 2023 • Computer • Q146

In computer registers, MAR stands for ______.
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Memory Address Register.

In computer systems, MAR refers to the Memory Address Register. This register is a key component of the CPU, responsible for holding the address of the memory location where data needs to be read from or written to. When the CPU needs to access memory, it places the address into the MAR. The MAR then communicates with the memory to perform the necessary action, either fetching data or writing new information.
