94. In 8051, which instruction complements the accumulator?
A. CPL A
B. CLR A
C. SETB A
D. COM A
Answer: A. CPL A
Explanation: CPL A complements each bit of the accumulator (logical NOT).
95. How many general-purpose registers are there in 8085?
A. 4
B. 6
C. 8
D. 7
Answer: B. 6
Explanation: 8085 has 6 general-purpose 8-bit registers: B, C, D, E, H, and L.
96. In 8051, which pins are used to interface external memory?
A. Port 0 and Port 2
B. Port 1 and Port 3
C. Port 0 and Port 3
D. Port 2 and Port 3
Answer: A. Port 0 and Port 2
Explanation: Port 0 provides data/address multiplexed lines, Port 2 provides higher
address lines.
97. Which flag is not available in 8051?
A. Carry
B. Zero
C. Parity
D. Auxiliary Carry
Answer: B. Zero
Explanation: 8051 has Carry, Auxiliary Carry, Overflow, and Parity — but not a Zero
flag.
98. 8085 is which type of processor?
A. 4-bit
B. 8-bit
C. 16-bit
D. 32-bit
Answer: B. 8-bit
Explanation: 8085 is an 8-bit processor with a 16-bit address bus.
99. What is the machine cycle time if clock frequency of 8085 is 3 MHz?
A. 1 µs
B. 0.67 µs
C. 1.5 µs
D. 2 µs
Answer: B. 0.67 µs

Explanation: Machine cycle = T-state × 3. 1 T-state = 1/3 MHz = 0.33 µs ⇒ 1 machine

cycle = 3 × 0.33 = ~0.67 µs.
100. In 8051, which instruction sets the carry flag?
A. SETB C
B. SETB A
C. ORL C
D. CPL A
Answer: A. SETB C
Explanation: SETB C sets the Carry flag (bit PSW.7) to 1.
