Corresponding to Eigenvalue  = 2, let us find the Eigenvector [A - ] x̂ = 0 x [ ][x ] [ ] x Putting in above equation we get, x [ ][x ] [ ] x Which gives the equations, 5x x x =0 . . . . . (i) x =0 . . . . . (ii) 3x = 0 . . . . . (iii) Since eqa (ii) and (iii) are same we have 5x x x =0 . . . . . (i) x =0 . . . . . (ii) Putting x = k, we get x = 0, x = k and 5x k =0

[Ans. B] SUB 1: MVI A, 00H → H CALL SUB 2 → program will shift to SUB 2 address location SUB 2: INR A →A = 00H + 01H=001H RET → returned to main program The contents of Accumulation after execution of the above SUB 2 is 01H

[Ans. D] Address 2020H: The contents of lower and higher address lines are same i.e. 20H. So, this indicates that the technique is I/O mapped I/O. Data 24H: This indicates that the content of accumulator is 24 H, which have to sent to I/O port. ̅ (Logic High): ̅ high indicates that this is input/output operation. ̅̅̅̅ (Logic High): ̅̅̅̅ logic high indicates that read operation is inactive. ̅̅̅̅̅ (Logic Low): ̅̅̅̅̅ logic low indicates that write operation is active. So, by observing all the operations the appropriate instruction is OUT20H.

[Ans. A] To select 2-4 line decoder, A15 = 0 To select the DAC, b2 should be active, i.e. A14 = 0 and A13 = 1. Reset all address lines can be either 0 or 1. So, address can be 001x xxxx xxxx xxxx Out of four choices this is satisfied by 3000 H only.

[Ans. D] The designed characteristics and requirements of the fabricated oxide can be mainly influenced by the used oxidant species. With dry oxidation, normally high-quality thin oxide films are produced. During wet oxidation, the silicon water is settled to a water vapour temperature. Wet oxide grow really fast compared to any oxidation, which is the biggest advantage.
