Objective questions
1) The main importance of ARM microprocessors is providing operation with,
a) Low cost and low power consumption
b) Higher degree of multi-tasking
c) Lower error or glitches
d) Efficient memory management
Answer:a
Explanation:The Stand alone feature of
the ARM processors is that theyre
economically viable.

2) ARM processors where basically

designed for
_______ .
a) Main frame systems
b) Distributed systems
c) Mobile systems
d) Super computers
Answer : c
Explanation:These ARM processors
are designed for handheld devices.

3) The address system supported by

ARM systems is/are ______ .
a) Little Endian b) Big Endian
c) X-Little Endian
d) Both a and b
Answer : d
Explanation:The way in which, the
data gets stored in the system or the
way of address allocation is called as
address system.

4) RISC stands for _________ .

a) Restricted Instruction Sequencing
Computer
b) Restricted Instruction Sequential
Compiler
c) Reduced Instruction Set Computer
d) Reduced Induction Set Computer
Answer : c
Explanation:This is a system architecture,
in which the performance of the system is
improved by reducing the size of the
instruction set.

5) The additional duplicate register

used in ARM machines are called as
_______ .
a) Copied-registers
b) Banked registers
c) EXtra registers
d) Extential registers
Answer:b
Explanation:The duplicate registers are
used in situations of context switching.

6) ARM stands for _____________ .

a) Advanced Rate Machines
b) Advanced RISC Machines
c) Artificial Running Machines
d) Aviary Running Machines
Answer : b
Explanation:ARM is a type of
system architecture.

7) The banked registers are used for,

a) Switching between supervisor and
interrupt mode
b) Extended storing
c) Same as other general purpose registers
d) Both a and c
Answer : a
Explanation: When switching from one
mode to another, instead of storing the
register contents somewhere else itll be
kept in the duplicate registers and the new
values are stored in the actual registers.

8) The instructions which are used to

load or store multiple operands are
called as _____ .
a) Banked instructions
b) Lump transfer instructions
c) Block transfer instructions
d) DMA instructions
Answer:c
Explanation:These instructions are
generally used to perform memory
transfer operations.

9) The ability to shift or rotate in the same

instruction along with other operation is
performed with the help of _________ .
a) Switching circuit
b) Barrel switcher circuit
c) Integrated Switching circuit
d) Multiplexer circuit
Answer:b
Explanation:These switching circuits are
used to basically switch fast and to
perform better.

10) Which of the two instructions sets the

condition flag upon execution ?
i) ADDS R0,R1,R2
ii) ADD R0,R1,R2
a) i
b) ii
c) Both i and ii
d) Insufficient data
Answer:a
Explanation:This instruction sets the
condition flag with out considering whether
an carry or overflow as happened or not.
