Consider the following two statements.
S1 : Destination MAC address of an ARP reply is a broadcast address.
S2 : Destination MAC address of an ARP request is a broadcast address.
Which one of the following choices is correct?
A five-stage pipeline has stage delays of 150, 120, 150, 160 and 140 nanoseconds. The registers that are used between the pipeline stages have a delay of 5 nanoseconds each.
The total time to execute 100 independent instructions on this pipeline, assuming there are no pipeline stalls, is ______ nanoseconds.
Consider the following instruction sequence where register R1, R2 and R3 are general purpose and MEMORY[X] denotes the content at the memory location X.

Assume that the content of the memory location 5000 is 10, and the content of the register R3 is 3000. The content of each of the memory locations from 3000 to 3010 is 50. The instruction sequence starts from the memory location 1000. All the numbers are in decimal format. Assume that the memory is byte addressable.
After the execution of the program, the content of memory location 3010 is ______
Consider a computer system with a byte-addressable primary memory of size 232 bytes. Assume the computer system has a direct-mapped cache of size 32 KB (1 KB = 210 bytes), and each cache block is of size 64 bytes.
The size of the tag field is ______ bits.
