Question 3

Consider the following statements.

    I. Daisy chaining is used to assign priorities in attending interrupts.
    II. When a device raises a vectored interrupt, the CPU does polling to identify the source of the interrupt.
    III. In polling, the CPU periodically checks the status bits to know if any device needs its attention.
    IV. During DMA, both the CPU and DMA controller can be bus masters at the same time.

Which of the above statements is/are TRUE?

A
I and IV only
B
I and II only
C
III only
D
I and III only
Question 3 Explanation: 
Statement-I is true as daisy chaining is used to assign priorities in attending interrupts.
Statement-II is false as vectored interrupt doesn’t involve polling but non-vectored interrupt involves polling.
Statement-III is true as polling means that CPU periodically checks the status bits to know if any device needs attention.
Statement-IV is false as during DMA only one of the CPU or DMA can be bus master at a time.
Correct Answer: D
