Answer #1

Given:
Virtual Address size of the machine: 16bits
Page Size : 8Kb

Thus, before calculating each address is to converted into the number of bytes

Therefore
Virtual address size = 2^16 bytes
Page Size = 2^13 bytes

Now using the formula

Number of entries in page table = (virtual address space size)/(page size)

Number of pages = (2^16)/(2^13) = 2^3

Thus,
Number of pages of virtual address space = 2^3
