    [FONT=&quot]Can anyone correct me with this question [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Consider a virtual memory system with the following parameters: [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]32-bit virtual address [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]8-kbyte virtual page size => 212[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]linear page table [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]32-bit Page Table Entry PTE [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]a. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Draw a diagram of the 32-bit address showing the length and placement of all bit fields. [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Page number is 20 bit and Offset is 12 bits[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]How many virtual pages are available in this system? [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]my answer is [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]= 32-12 = 20 [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]= 220[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Assuming that 16 bits in the page table entry (PTE) is used for flags,[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] what is the maximum size of the physical memory (in bytes) this system can support? [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]= 16+12= 28[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]= 228[/FONT]


    [FONT=&quot]b. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Describe the steps in translating the following virtual address: 0x 004E C01A. You have to base this description on specific values extracted from the given address. If you make any assumptions, you have to state them explicitly.[/FONT]

    my answer was in this image but i am not so sure
