Instructions to Candidates: Answer all questions in this Section.

1. Using the two basic operations load and store, show how a simple compute device can
evaluate S = (A + B) – (C - D).
2. What is the advantage of using Multi-bus architecture?
3. Suppose you have a color represented as a red, green, blue triple, with each component an
integer between 0 and 255 represented as an 8-bit unsigned binary number. The red
component is 10010011, the green 11111000, and the blue 00001111. What happens if, in
