The following are some events that occur after a device controller issues an interrupt while process $$L$$ is under execution.

$$(P)$$ The processor pushes the process status of $$L$$ onto the control stack.
$$(Q)$$ The processor finishes the execution of the current instruction.
$$(R)$$ The processor executes the interrupt service routine.
$$(S)$$ The processor pops the process status of $$L$$ from the control stack.
$$(T)$$ The processor loads the new PC value based on the interrupt.

Which one of the following is the correct order in which the events above occur?

A
$$QPTRS$$
B
$$PTRSQ$$
C
$$TRPQS$$
D

A $$32$$-bit wide main memory unit with a capacity of $$1$$ $$GB$$ is built using $$256M\,\, \times \,\,4$$-bit $$DRAM$$ chips. The number of rows of memory cells in the $$DRAM$$ chip is $${2^{14}}.$$ The time taken to perform one refresh operation is $$50$$ nanoseconds. The refresh period is $$2$$ milliseconds. The percentage (rounded to the closest integer) of the time available for performing the memory read/write operations in the main memory unit is __________.

The instruction pipeline of a $$RISC$$ processor has the following stages: Instruction Fetch $$(IF),$$ Instruction Decode $$(ID),$$ Operand Fetch $$(OF),$$ Perform Operation $$(PO)$$ and Writeback $$(WB).$$ The $$IF,$$ $$ID,$$ $$OF$$ and $$WB$$ stages take $$1$$ clock cycle each for every instruction. Consider a sequence of $$100$$ instructions. In the $$PO$$ stage, $$40$$ instructions take $$3$$ clock cycles each, $$35$$ instructions take $$2$$ clock cycles each, and the remaining $$25$$ instructions take $$1$$ clock cycle each. Assume that there are no data hazards and no control hazards.

The number of clock cycles required for completion of execution of the sequence of instructions is ______.
