QUESTION 8:
Accumulator based microprocessor example are

a) Intel 8085
b) Motorola 6809
c) A and B
d) None of these

Correct Answer: c

Detailed Solution:

QUESTION 9:
In 8085 microprocessors, the instruction CMP B has been executed while the content of the
accumulator is less than that of register B. As a result

a) Carry flag will be set but zero flag will be reset

b) Carry flag will be reset but zero flag will be set
c) Both carry and zero flag will be reset
d) Both carry and zero flag will be set

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution: CMP B, compare A with B. If A<B, CY=1, Z=0

QUESTION 10:
While INX B instruction execute,

a) only carry flag will be affected

b) all flags will be affected
c) only carry and zero flags will be affected
d) no flags will be affected

Correct Answer: d

Detailed Solution: The flags (flip flop) are affected by the arithmetical and logical
operations in the ALU. Flags generally reflects the data conditions in the accumulator with
some exception. INX B is a instruction which increment the content of the register pair BC
by 1 and it does not affect any of the flags.

QUESTION 11:
Temporary registers in 8085 are
a) B and C
b) D and E
c) H and L
d) W and Z

b) Add register or memory to accumulator
c) Add immediate to accumulator
d) None of the above

Correct Answer: b

Detailed Solution:

QUESTION 13:
SBB instruction
a) Subtract source and borrow from accumulator
b) Subtract immediate from accumulator
c) Subtract immediate from accumulator with borrow
d) None of the above

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution:

QUESTION 14:
LXI D, 56FEH means

a) Store 56FEH into the D Register

b) Move 56FEH t o the D Register
c) Store 56FEH into the DE Register Pair
d) Move 56FEH to the DE Register Pair

Correct Answer: c

Detailed Solution:

QUESTION 15:
MVI K, 20F is an example of

a) Immediate addressing mode

 NPTEL Online Certification Courses

b) Register addressing mode

c) Direct addressing mode
d) Indirect addressing mode

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution: In this mode, the 8/16-bit data is specified in the instruction itself as
one of its operands. For example: MVI K, 20F: means 20F is copied into register K.
