Solution

The correct combination of statements regarding cache memory characteristics are:

  1. Cache memory is located between the RAM and the CPU.
  2. Cache hit rate is a measure of the percentage of requested data found in the cache.
  3. Cache coherence ensures consistency of data across multiple cache levels.

The incorrect statements are:

  1. Cache memory is larger than RAM in terms of storage capacity. This is incorrect because cache memory is typically smaller than RAM.
  2. L1 cache is typically larger but slower than L2 cache. This is incorrect because L1 cache is typically smaller and faster than L2 cache.
  3. Cache memory is non-volatile and retains data even when the power is turned off. This is incorrect because cache memory is volatile and does not retain data when the power is turned off.
