Answer

a. A5 b. A5 c. DB

Work Step by Step

Let's go through each instruction: a. \( 25 \mathrm{~A} 5 \) This instruction loads the content of memory cell A5 into register 5. Given that memory cell A5 contains the pattern A5, the bit pattern in register 5 after executing this instruction will be A5. b. \( 15 \mathrm{CA} \) This instruction loads the content of memory cell CA into register 5. Since memory cell CA contains the pattern A5, the bit pattern in register 5 after executing this instruction will be A5. c. D508 This instruction moves the content of register 8 into register 5. Since register 8 contains the pattern DB, the bit pattern in register 5 after executing this instruction will be DB.
