Question

In the following question https://gateoverflow.in/192674/made-easy-test-series

Why has block offset being considered as 4bits? It is mentioned in the question that memory is word addressable

data words are word-addressable.

Then why are we not computing the bits reserved for each field in terms of words rather than bytes?

Shouldnt the block offset be 2 bits as 4 words are present in a block?

Comments

Please help.!

Yes I felt the same.

Here everything should be converted in to word i.e. 4 byte addressable
