Consider the following statements:
S1 : If capacity misses are most common then the designer should increase the cache associatively, in order to provide more flexibility when collision occurs.
S2 : To hold the inclusion, lower level cache will be write through.
Which of the statements are correct?

S1 : False

If capacity misses are most common then the designer should increase the cache size.

if conflict misses are most common then the designer should increase the cache associativity.

S2 : True 

When there are multiple levels of cache to hold inclusion(lower level data is the subset of higher level data) we should use Write through policy.

otherwise, inclusion property fails.
