The 4-bit registers R1 and R2 initially have the following values. R1 : 1010 R2 : 1100 What is the content of R1 and R2 after execution of this micro-operation? R1 ← R1 ⊕ R2 ⊕ is a symbol of Ex-OR.

  1. A.

    R1 : 0110, R2 : 1100

  2. B.

    R1 : 1010, R2 : 0110

  3. C.

    R1 : 0110, R2 : 0110

  4. D.

    R1 : 1010, R2 : 1100

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Step 1: Perform Ex-OR operation between R1 (1010) and R2 (1100).

Step 2: Bit-by-bit Ex-OR: 1⊕1=0, 0⊕1=1, 1⊕0=1, 0⊕0=0.

Step 3: Result is 0110, which updates R1.

Step 4: R2 remains unchanged as 1100.
