h. DEC BP r. MOV, AX, [BX]
i. DIV BL s. MOV [BX][SI], CL
j. SUB AX, DX
Q11. Show the result that will be in the affected registers or memory locations after each of the
following groups of instructions executes. Assume that each group of instructions starts with
the register and memory contents shown in figure 1.

a. ADD BL, AL d. MOV BX, 000AH

MOV [0004], BL MOV AL, [BX]
b. MOV CL, 04 SUB AL, CL

(e) Add 07H to DL.
(f) Multiply AL times BL.
(g) Copy AX to a memory location at offset 245AH in the data segment.
(h) Decrement SP by 1.
(i) Rotate the most significant bit of AL into the least significant bit position.
(j) Copy DL to a memory location whose offset is in BX.
(k) Mask the lower 4 bits of BL
(l) Set the most significant bit of AX to a 1, but do not affect the other bits.
(m) Invert the lower 4 bits of BL, but do not affect the other bits.
