Answer:

instruction execution time = 5 micro seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

number of states 20

Clock period is 250 ns

where ns is nano seconds

instruction execution time is given as

instruction execution time = number of states * clock period

putting all value to get required answer

instruction execution time = 250* 20 = 5000 ns = 5 micro second

instruction execution time = 5 micro seconds
