QUESTION 6:
What is the status of the zero flag and the contents of the accumulator after execution of the
following 8085 assembly code? Assume that contents of all other registers and memory
locations are unknown.

MVI A, 65H

MVI B, 32H

CMP B

a. 0, 65H

b. 1, 65H

c. 0, 33H

d. 1, 00H

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution:

Contents of the accumulator is unchanged after execution of CMP (compare) instruction

QUESTION 7:
How many bytes does the following set of instructions occupy?
MVI A, 35H
MVI B, 23H
ADD B
a. Three bytes
b. Six bytes
c. Five bytes
d. Four bytes

Correct Answer: c

Detailed Solution:

MVI is an instruction with immediate data and it occupies two bytes of memory, one for the
opcode and the other one for the immediate data. Thus, the first two instructions occupy four
bytes of memory.

However, ADD B is an instruction with register as an operand and it occupies one byte of
memory. Thus, the total amount of memory occupied by the given set of instructions is five
bytes.

QUESTION 8:
For the 8085 assembly language program given below, the content of the accumulator after the
execution of the program is

3000 MVI A, 45H

3002 MOV B, A

3003 STC

3004 CMC

3005 RAR

3006 XRA B

a. 00H

b. 45H

c. 67H

d. E7H

QUESTION 9:
In 8085 microprocessor, which mode of addressing does the instruction CMP M use?

a. Direct addressing

b. Register addressing

c. Indirect addressing

d. Immediate addressing

Correct Answer: C

Detailed Solution: Compare memory with accumulator ( CMP M) : This is a 1-byte instruction.
It compares the data in the register or memory with the contents of accumulator. It uses
indirect addressing mode.

QUESTION 10:
Between DCR and DCX instructions, the status flags are affected by

a. Only DCR
b. Only DCX
c. Both DCR and DCX
d. Neither DCR nor DCX

Correct Answer: A

Detailed Solution:

QUESTION 11:
After the execution of the given statements, determine the status of flag register content.
MVI A, #0BFH
ADI A, #1BH

a. 11010001
b. 01011011
c. 01000000
d. 10100001

Correct Answer: C

Detailed Solution:

MOI A, #0BFH ( BFH is move in register A)

ADI A, #1BH ( Adding 1BH with accumulator content)

BF 10111111

+1B 00011011

DA 11011010

CY =0 , as there is no carry after MSB

AC = 1 , as there is carry after 4 bits

P = 0 , as their odd number of 1.

The status of PSW is 01000000.

instruction is 1.4 𝝻s, then the number of T- states needed for executing the instruction is

a. 1
b. 6
c. 7
d. 4

QUESTION 13:
What are the states of the Auxiliary Carry (AC) and Carry Flag (CY) after executing the
following 8085 program?

MVI H, 5DH
MVI L, 6BH
MOV A, H
ADD L

a. AC = 0 and CY = 0
b. AC = 1 and CY = 1
c. AC = 1 and CY = 0
d. AC = 0 and CY = 1

Correct Answer: c
 NPTEL Online Certification Courses

Detailed Solution: First we load 5D in L register but we have not stored it to the
accumulator So, when we load 6B in L register, it overwrites 5D in L register and the
same value 6BH is copied to accumulator
Now A = 6BH
L = 6BH
ADD L i.e. A = A + L
It will generate internal carry i.e. B + B = 22 i.e. 22 – 16 = 6
adding 2 to 6 + 6 => we get 14 => D
Hence answer is D6
Since there is internal carry only, no final carry as 14 < 16
So, Auxiliary carry flag(AC) = 1
Carry Flag(CY) = 0

QUESTION 14:
Contents of the stack pointer (SP) after executing following instructions?
LXI SP, 3FFFH
PUSH B
HLT
a. SP = 3FFDH
b. SP = 4000H
c. SP = 4001H
d. SP = 3FFEH

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution:

contents of the SP decremented by two after executing PUSH instruction.

QUESTION 15:
The 8085 has two instructions for dealing with subroutines
a. PUSH and RET
b. CALL and RET
c. PUSH and CALL
d. None of the above
Correct Answer: b
