Answer: C
q M
c
Explanation:- the length of an instruction that can be read or accessed at a time is referred to as
word length. M
353. Is 68000 computer Byte addressable?
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
Explanation:- the ability of a system to access the entire data of a process by reading consecutive
bytes is called as byte addressability

Explanation:- none.
355. The 68000 has a max of how many data registers?
A. 16
B. 20
C. 10
D. 8
Answer: D
Explanation:- the data registers are solely used for the purpose of storing data items of the process.

356. When an operand is stored in a register it is


A. stored in the lower order bits of the register
B. stored in the higher order bits of the register
C. stored in any of the bits at random
D. none of the mentioned
Answer: A
Explanation:- the data always gets stored from the lower order to the higher order bits, except in the
case of little endian architecture.

357. The 68000 uses address assignment.


A. big endian
B. little endian
C. x-little endian
D. x-big endian
Answer: A
Explanation:- the way the data gets stored in a memory is called an address assignment.

Answer: B
Explanation:- these instructions do not require the mentioning of any one type of addressing mode.

360. The instructions in 68000 can deal with operands of three different sizes.
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
Explanation:- the operands are of different sizes because of the difference in the values.

A. memory mapped
B. i/o mapped
C. buffer mapped
D. none of the mentioned
Answer: A
Explanation:- in this method, both the i/o device and the memory share a common address space.

D. both little & big endian
Answer: D
Explanation:- the way in which, the data gets stored in the system or the way of address allocation is
called as address system.

371. RISC stands for


A. restricted instruction sequencing computer
B. restricted instruction sequential compiler
C. reduced instruction set computer
D. reduced induction set computer
Answer: C
Explanation:- this is a system architecture, in which the performance of the system is improved by
reducing the size of the instruction set.

372. In the ARM, PC is implemented using


A. caches
B. heaps
C. general purpose register
D. stack
Answer: C
Explanation:- pc is the place where the next instruction about to be executed is stored.

373. The additional duplicate register used in ARM machines are called as
A. copied-registers
B. banked registers

C. extra registers
D. extential registers
Answer: B
Explanation:- the duplicate registers are used in situations of context switching.

374. The banked registers are used for


A. switching between supervisor and interrupt mode
B. extended storing
C. same as other general purpose registers
D. none of the mentioned
Answer: A
Explanation:- when switching from one mode to another, instead of storing the register contents
somewhere else it’ll be kept in the duplicate registers and the new values are stored in the actual
registers.
