    Part A-Computer Organization
    Question 1 (25 Marks)

    a) A Digital Logic Circuit (DLC) is needed to identify integers which are exactly
    divisible by 2 or 3. The circuit should have four binary inputs and one output F. If
    those binary integers are exactly divisible by 2 or 3, the circuit should output high (1)
    or else the output should low(0) .Consider decimal zero is divisible by 2 or 3.
    i. Construct the truth table for the above mentioned circuit.
    ii. State the Boolean expression for the output F in sum of product (SOP)
    form.
    iii. Draw a K-map to indicate the SOP that you have written as the answer
    to part ii.
    iv. Obtain the simplified answer for the K-map that you have stated in part
    iii.
    v. Draw a circuit diagram based on the simplified answer that you have
    written as the answer to iv.
    b) Draw 2X5X2 PLA and indicate following expression on it. A’B’+A’B+AB

    Question 2 (25 Marks)

    a) Design the circuit diagram of 1-2 Decoder and write down the characteristic table of
    it.
    b) Draw a block diagram of parallel adder to represent addition of two binary numbers.
    c) Explain what an operating system is with aid of a diagram.
    d) Explain different methods to achieve security related to an operating system.
    e) Explain how data stored in accumulator can be transferred to a particular memory
    location, with aid of a diagram.
    f) Briefly explain the instruction execution life cycle aid of a diagram.

    Question 3 (25 Marks)
    a) Name the ISO-OSI seven-layers.
    b) Describe the type of task is offered by the Data Link layer.
    c) Briefly explain the processes at each layer when we send data from source computer
    to destination computer. Refer Figure 3.
