Consider three floating point numbers A, B and C stored in registers RA, RB…

Interpretation and decoding:

• Assumption: the prompt repeats the RA line; interpret the values as A = 0xC1400000, B = 0xC1400000, and C = 0x41400000.

• Decode A = 0xC1400000: sign = 1 (negative), exponent field = 130 (e−127 = 3), mantissa = 1.5 ⇒ value = −1.5 × 2^3 = −12.

• Decode B = 0xC1400000: same bits as A ⇒ B = −12.

• Decode C = 0x41400000: sign = 0, exponent field = 130 (e−127 = 3), mantissa = 1.5 ⇒ value = +1.5 × 2^3 = +12.

Evaluate each statement using A = −12, B = −12, C = +12:

• A + C = −12 + 12 = 0 ⇒ true.

• C = A + B ⇒ 12 = (−12) + (−12) = −24 ⇒ false.

• B = 3C ⇒ −12 = 3 × 12 = 36 ⇒ false.

• (B − C) > 0 ⇒ −12 − 12 = −24, which is not > 0 ⇒ false.

Conclusion:

• The statement "C = A + B" is false, as shown above. However, two other arithmetic statements are also false given the decoded values. Therefore the question is ambiguous if it expects exactly one false statement; the numeric decoding shows multiple false statements under the reasonable interpretation of the given hex values.
