Q1. True/False [10 marks]
1 Basic idea of RISC is to reduce number of machine instructions needed. (T )
2 Data is usually accessed from memory in n-bit groups, where n is called word length. (T )
3 Using 4-bit 2’s complement number, an overflow will result from the addition of (T )
(-7) + (- 2).
4 During the program execution, IR register is incremented to the point to next instruction (F )
5 Most computer operations are executed in the ALU but data operands are stored in memory (F )
unit during execution.
6 In sign extension, we extend new bits with only 0’s (F )
7 The main function of Program Counter (PC) register is to fetch and execute instructions (F )

Load R2,A
Load R3,B
Add R4,R2,R2
Store R4,C
