NIMCET Previous Year Computer Awareness NIMCET 200: A CPU has an arithmetic unit that adds bytes and then setsits V,C and Z flag bits as follows : The V-bit is set if arithmetic overflow occurs. The C-bit is set if carry-out is generated from the mostsignificant bit during an operation. The Z-bitis set if the result is zero. What are the values of the V, C and Z flag bits respectively after the 8-bit bytes 11001100 and 1000 1111 are added?
