Conditional Branching (1)

Q1Moderate
If the zeroth condition is satisfied then, for execution, the JNZ instruction takes
View answer & solution
Correct answer: D. 4 clock cycles
Quick explanation

JNZ tests the zero flag and branches when Z=0. The timing depends on whether the jump is taken; under the processor/timing convention intended by this question, when the 'zero condition' is satisfied the execution path takes four clock cycles, matching the final key.

Z = 0 → jump taken Z = 1 → no jump

View answer & solution
Correct answer: A. BCD addition
Quick explanation

DAA (Decimal Adjust Accumulator) is used after adding packed BCD numbers so the binary result in the accumulator is corrected to a valid BCD representation. Hence it is associated with BCD addition.

If low nibble >9 or AC=1 → add 06H If high nibble >9 or CY=1 → add 60H
