18 Dec, 2023
Solving GATE Previous Year’s Questions (PYQs) not only clears the concepts but also helps to gain flexibility, speed, accuracy, and understanding of the level of questions generally asked in the GATE exam, and that eventually helps you to gain good marks in the examination. Previous Year Questions help a candidate practice and revise for GATE, which helps crack GATE with a good score.
Computer Organization & Architecture Previous Year GATE Questions help in analyzing the question pattern of a subject and marking scheme as well as it helps in time management which overall increases the score in the GATE exam. With regular practice of PYQs, candidates can easily crack GATE with a good GATE Score.
Before 2006, questions asked in GATE were mainly theoretical, but in recent years, the questions asked were multiple-choice questions with a single correct option or multiple correct options. We are looking to provide the multiple-choice questions that are asked in GATE.
Computer Organization & Architecture GATE Previous Year Questions
In this article, we are mainly focusing on the Computer Organization & Architecture GATE Questions that are asked in Previous Years with their solutions, and where an explanation is required, we have also provided the reason.
In Computer Organization & Architecture, we will deal with the following concepts. We have also provided GATE Previous Year’s Questions on these topics. Here is the list of those topics along with their links.
Below mentioned are the links to the Computer Organization & Architecture PYQ’s pages. On each page, you will get the questions asked in COA along with the years asked.
Also, here we are going to discuss some basic PYQs related to Computer Organization & Architecture.

(C) is flagged when the carries from the sign bit and the previous bit match
(D) none of the above
Solution: Correct answer is (B)
For more, refer to GATE-CS-2002 | Question 21.
