Which of the following flags are set when 'JMP' instruction is executed ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

The JMP instruction transfers control to another address, and it does not do any arithmetic or logical operation on data, so it does not set or change any flag of the processor. The sign flag, carry flag and auxiliary carry flag are changed by arithmetic and logic instructions such as ADD or SUB, not by a jump. The keyed answer is that no flag is set.

Which of the following is a design criteria for instruction formats ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

All of these are design criteria for instruction formats: the size of instructions, the number of bits in the address fields, and the need for sufficient space in the format to express all the desired operations. The designer balances compact instructions against the range of operations and the address space that can be reached.

Since each single listed item is a criterion, choosing only one of them would leave out the others, so the answer is All of these.

Which is not a typical program control instruction ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

SHL (shift left) is not a typical program control instruction: it is a data manipulation instruction of the shift group. The answer is (C).

BR (branch) and JMP (jump) are the unconditional transfers of control, and TST (test) is used to set the status bits on which a conditional branch depends. These belong to the program control group, so (A), (B) and (D) are wrong.
