a) Carry flag will be set but zero flag will be reset


b) Carry flag will be reset but zero flag will be set
c) Both carry and zero flag will be reset
d) Both carry and zero flag will be set

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution: CMP B, compare A with B. If A<B, CY=1, Z=0

QUESTION 10:
While INX B instruction execute,

a) only carry flag will be affected


b) all flags will be affected
c) only carry and zero flags will be affected
d) no flags will be affected

Correct Answer: d

Detailed Solution: The flags (flip flop) are affected by the arithmetical and logical
operations in the ALU. Flags generally reflects the data conditions in the accumulator with
some exception. INX B is a instruction which increment the content of the register pair BC
by 1 and it does not affect any of the flags.

QUESTION 11:
