52. Which of the most appropriate match for the items in the first column with the items in the second column

List-IList-II
X. Indirect AddressingI. Array implementation
Y. Indexed AddressingII. Writing re-locatable code
Z. Base Register AddressingIII. Passing array as parameter

  • Option : A
  • Explanation : Indexed addressing is used for array implementation.
    Base register is used to relocatable code.
    Indirect addressing is done when array is passed as parameter.

54. Which of the following is/are true of the auto increment addressing mode ?
1. It is useful in creating self relocating code
2. If it is included in an Instruction Set Architecture, then an additional ALU is required for effective address calculation
3. The amount of increment depends on the size of the data item accessed.

  • Option : C
