MCQ 1.63 A software delay subroutine is written as given below :
DELAY : MVI H, 255D
MVI L, 255D
LOOP : DCR L
JNZ LOOP
DCR H
JNZ LOOP
How many times DCR L instruction will be executed ?
(A) 255 (B) 510
(C) 65025 (D) 65279
SOL 1.63 MVI H and MVI L stores the value 255 in H and L registers. DCR L decrements
L by 1 and JNZ checks whether the value of L is zero or not. So DCR L executed
255 times till value of L becomes ‘0’.
Then DCR H will be executed and it goes to ‘Loop’ again, since L is of 8 bit so no
more decrement possible and it terminates.
MCQ 1.64 In an 8085 A microprocessor based system, it is desired to increment the contents

INR M INX H
(C) INX D (D) INR M
XCHG XCHG
SOL 1.64 XCHG& exchange the contain of DE register pair with HL pair So
now addresses of memory locations are stored in HL pair.
INR M& Increment the contents of memory whose address is stored in
HL pair.
