Answer: 7. Explanation:- Generally the structure of a memory chip=Number of Row × Number of column (M*N) The number of address line required for row decoder is n where M=2^n or n=Log(base2) M. As per information given in the question: M=N So M*N= M*M= M^2=16k = 2^4 * 2^10 => M^2 = 2^ 14 M=128 n=...

Ans is 7; as 16Kb=2^4*2^10=2^14 now memory = 2^(m*n);(m is no of column and n is no. of row) here m=n so 2^14=2^7*2^7 m=n=7
