1. What is the main advantage of Modified Booth's Algorithm over the standard Booth's
Algorithm?
A) It reduces the size of the numbers.
B) It reduces the number of partial products generated during multiplication.
C) It uses subtraction instead of addition.
D) It speeds up division operations.
2. In Restoring Division, why is the divisor "restored"?
A) To handle negative numbers.
B) To avoid overflow.
C) To correct the result when the subtraction yields a negative result.
D) To adjust for floating-point precision.
3. What is the main difference between floating-point and fixed-point arithmetic?
A) Floating-point has a fixed range of numbers.
B) Fixed-point can represent numbers with larger ranges.
C) Floating-point has a dynamic range with normalized numbers.
D) Fixed-point performs faster arithmetic operations.
4. Which of the following is used to encode characters in multiple languages and
symbols beyond ASCII?
A) EBCDIC
B) UTF-8
C) ASCII
D) BCD
5. You are performing restoring division on two 4-bit unsigned binary numbers:
dividend = 1011 (11 in decimal) and divisor = 0010 (2 in decimal). What is the

the mean memory access time
A) 12 ns
B) 14 ns
C) 15 ns
D) 18 ns
10. A direct-mapped cache has 64 blocks and a block size of 16 bytes. The memory
address is 16 bits long. How many bits are used for the block offset and how many for
the index?
