B.Balaji I can’t say about differences because lack of C experience. But I can say that Ruby uses pointer for a variable that adresses to the actual object. But it is not true for types like Boolean, Nil, Fixnum because they are not actually objects, they are immediate values https://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/programming_books/ruby_tutorial/Extending_Ruby_VALUE_as_an_Immediate_Object.html

I believe the question is vague. Are you able to provide a description to explain? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.geeksforgeeks.org/ruby-data-types/amp/

B.Balaji If we are talking about what is a variable itself, variable - pointer in memory. C pointers on 64bit machines - 8 bytes, 32bit - 4 bytes.
