Answers


1.
Answer :       (a)
Reason : The AND, and OR functions are only two of a total of 16 possible functions formed with two binary variables. Therefore, for two variables n=2, and the number of possible Boolean functions is 16.
2.
Answer :       (a)
Reason : This means that it is not practical for use in systems requiring high-speed operations. The characteristic parameters for the CMOS gate depend on the power supply voltage VDD that is used. The power dissipation increases with increase in voltage supply. The propagation delay decreases with increase in voltage supply and the noise margin is estimated to be about 40% of the voltage supply value.
3.
Answer :       (a)
Reason : Consider the 20-bit logical address. The 4-bit segment number specifies one of 16 possible segments. The 8-bit page number can specify up to 256 pages, and the 8-bit word field implies a page size of 256 words. This configuration allows each segment to have any number of pages up to 256. the smallest possible segment will have one page of 256 words. The largest possible segment will have 256 pages, for a total of 256*256 = 65,536 which means 64K words.
4.
Answer :       (b)
Reason : Associative memories are expensive compared to random-access memories because of the added logic associated with each cell. Therefore, the simplest way to determine cache locations in which to store memory blocks is the Direct Mapping.
5.
Answer :       (d)
Reason : 2’s complement of -6  =  11111010
2’s complement of -13 = 11110011
Add the two numbers in their 2’s complement form, including their sign bits and discard any carry out of the sign (leftmost) bit position. So the answer is 11101101 (-19).
-6    11111010
-13  11110011
----------------------
-19  11101101
6.
Answer :       (e)
Reason : Program Counter (PC) keeps track of the instruction of the program stored in memory.
7.
Answer :       (a)
Reason :   The major components of CPU are Control Unit, Register Set, and Arithmetic Logic Unit.
8.
Answer :       (d)
Reason :   The next state is a complement state.
9.
Answer :       (e)
Reason : When R = 1 and S = 1, race will always end with Master Latch in the logic 1 state, but this will not be certain with real components.
10.
Answer :       (c)
Reason : Toggle flip-flop as it changes its output on each clock edge.
