Question

Which of the following is responsible for taking data to the ALU on the data-path?

Select one:
a. A Bus and C Bus
b. A Bus only
c. B Bus only
d. A Bus and B Bus
Which of the following components are used to control the operations of the processor, in timing with the signals that are received from the clock?
Select one:
a. Arithmetic Logic Unit
b. Clock Generator
c. Control Unit
d. Registers

Answer 1

The A Bus and B Bus are responsible for taking data to the ALU on the data-path, while the Control Unit is used to control the operations of the processor, in timing with the clock signals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The component responsible for taking data to the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) on the data-path is the combination of the A Bus and B Bus. These buses are responsible for carrying operands to the ALU where operations are performed.

As for the components that control the operations of the processor, in timing with the signals received from the clock, the correct answer is the Control Unit. The Control Unit interprets instructions from the computer's memory and then signals the ALU or other components to execute them.
