📝 Sample Questions

Q1. What is the function of the CMA instruction in the 8085 program that finds the 2’s complement of N bytes?

🔹 A. It adds 1 to the accumulator.
🔹 B. It clears the accumulator.
🔹 C. It complements each bit of the accumulator (1’s complement).
🔹 D. It stores the accumulator to memory.

💡 Difficulty: easy | ✅ Correct: A

Q2. Why does the program copy the carry flag into register B after each addition instead of using the flag directly?

🔹 A. Because the 8085 cannot test the carry flag directly.
🔹 B. To preserve the carry across the next instruction that might modify flags.
🔹 C. To use B as a loop counter.
🔹 D. To store the result temporarily.

💡 Difficulty: medium | ✅ Correct: A

Q3. If the JNC (Jump if No Carry) instruction were removed from the loop, what incorrect behavior would most likely occur?

🔹 A. The program would skip the carry handling altogether.
🔹 B. The program would always treat the carry as zero.
🔹 C. The program would enter an infinite loop.
🔹 D. The program would overwrite the original data.

💡 Difficulty: hard | ✅ Correct: A
