Comparing the time T1 taken for a single instruction on a pipelined CPU with time T2 taken on a non-pipelined but identical CPU, we can say that
Correct Answer: B
Question 3 Explanation:
PIPELINING SYSTEM:
Pipelining is an implementation technique where multiple instructions are overlapped in execution. It has a high throughput (amount of instructions executed per unit time). In pipelining, many instructions are executed at the same time and execution is completed in fewer cycles. The pipeline is filled by the CPU scheduler from a pool of work which is waiting to occur. Each execution unit has a pipeline associated with it, so as to have work pre-planned. The efficiency of pipelining system depends upon the effectiveness of CPU scheduler.
NON- PIPELINING SYSTEM:
All the actions (fetching, decoding, executing of instructions and writing the results into the memory) are grouped into a single step. It has a low throughput.
Only one instruction is executed per unit time and execution process requires more number of cycles. The CPU scheduler in the case of non-pipelining system merely chooses from the pool of waiting work when an execution unit gives a signal that it is free. It is not dependent on CPU scheduler.

T1 ≤ T2
T1 ≥ T2
T1 < T2
T1 is T2 plus the time taken for one instruction fetch cycle
