Answers



201.
Answer :   (a)
Reason :            All registers in a CPU are connected through ALU..
202.
Answer :   (b)
Reason :            Program Counter contains the address of the next instruction to be executed..
203.
Answer :   (e)
Reason :            The corresponding  between the main memory blocks and those in the cache is specified by a mapping function, because the basic characteristic of cache memory is fast access time. Therefore, very little or no time must be wasted when searching for words in the cache.
204.
Answer :   (c)
Reason :   Speakers can be called as a peripheral as all others are part of the system.
205.
Answer :   (b)
Reason :            The collection of address spaces in a physical memory is called address space.
206.
Answer :   (a)
Reason :            The Bus master is allowed to initiate data transfer on the bus.
207.
Answer :   (a)
Reason :            Transfer of one word data at a time using DMA transfer technique is called Cycle Stealing.
208.
Answer :   (b)
Reason :            Serial interface transfers one bit at a time, whereas others can handle more than one bit.
209.
Answer :   (b)
Reason :            In a  based addressing mode the displacement is the address field.
210.
Answer :   (b)
Reason :            Asynchronous data transfer
