Explanation / Answer

1.The register that holds the actual data to be read from or written to a given memory address is called:
a. memory address register
b. index register
c. memory buffer register
d. none of these

Ans:C

memory buffer register is used to hold data to be read from or written to a given memory address

2.There are ____________ General Purpose registers in MIPS
a. 8
b. 16
c. 32
d. 64

ANS:C

there are 32 general purpose register each of size 32 bit.

3.3. If a system's entire set of microoperations consists of 92 statements, how many bits must be used for its microoperation code?
a. 7
b. 8
c. 64
d. 92

Ans: A

7 bits will be used. Because of 27 =128. and we need 92 statements so 7 bits will be required.

4. How are conditional statements handled in MIPS Architecture?
a. LW / SW
b. IF / ELSE
c. BEQ / BNE
d. ADD / SUB
Ans:C

BEQ / BNE are used to handle conditional statements in MIPS Architecture.

5. The _______ connects the CPU to memory.
a. backplane bus
b. I/O bus
c. expansion bus
d. system bus

ANS: B

the system bus (also known as the frontside bus, memory bus, local bus or host bus) is used to connect the CPU to main memory. I/O buses is used to connect the CPU and RAM with all other components,
