b. Determine the data in each location of the ROM


12. A hypothetical CPU has a parallel address bus, a parallel data bus, a RD and WR active LOW signals. Two ROMs of size 4K words each and two RAMs of sizes 16K and 8K words, respectively, are to be connected to the CPU. The memories are to be so connected that they fill the address space of the CU as per the memory map shown in the figure. Assuming tat chip select signals are active LOW.
