Consider the following program segment. Here R1, R2 and R3 are the general purpose registers.
Assume that the content of memory location $$3000$$ is $$10$$ and the content of the register $$R3$$ is $$2000$$. The content of each of the memory locations from $$2000$$ to $$2010$$ is $$100.$$ The program is loaded from the memory location $$1000.$$ All the numbers are in decimal.
Assume that the memory is byte addressable and the word size is $$32$$ bits. If an interrupt occurs during the execution of the instruction $$''INC$$ $$R3'',$$ what return address will be pushed on to the stack?
