MIPS Assembly Language.

(Q1) Imagine that you have a branch instruction with an offset equal to 16₁₀ (0000000000010000₂), and the PC contains the address 30010₁₀

If the branch is taken, which will be the new address stored in the PC?

(a) 30074

(b) 30026

(d) 30078

The new content of Program counter will the current address + the offset.

The Address Offset = 16₁₀

Current location of PC = 30010₁₀

Therefore,

When the branch gets executed, The PC will jump to the memory location 30010 + 16 = 30026₁₀.
