Answer to question number 1
a. The Fibonacci code series is provided below:
ORG 100
Input // the user needs to Input the number
Store N // the user inputs the number of terms to be printed
Store Ctr // It stores the counter variable in the accumulator
Loop1, Clear
Load Ctr // The counter is loaded into the processor form the accumulator
Subt C1 // The counter is subtracted by c1
Store Ctr
Load F2 // F2 is loaded into the accumulator
Add F1 // F1 is added
Store F3 // F3 is stored into the accumulator
Load F1 // F1 is loaded into the accumulator
Add F1 // F1 is added
Store F3 // F3 is stored into the accumulator
Load F1 // F1 is loaded into the accumulator
Store F2 // F2 is stored into the accumulator
Load F3
Store F1
Load Ctr
Skipcond 400 // Check condition is skipped here

Load Ctr
Output
Load N // Output is N
Output
Load F1 // the Final output is placed
Output
Halt // control halts

Machine displayed the error value at number 24 because of 23 which is
considered as threshold value of machine. Therefore, for n= 23 is a maximum number
which can provide correct result.
Answer to question number 2
Number of possible instructions is 2^11=2048
Given that the size of the address field is 4.
Number of 2-addressing instruction = 6×2^4 ×2^4 =1536
Number of 1-addressing instruction = 30×2^4 =480
Number of accommodations left = 2048 – 2016 = 32
