"Bit Banding is a technique that uses two different regions of the address space to reference the same physical data. Within the primary bit-band region, each address corresponds to a single byte of data; within the bit-band alias, each address corresponds to a single bit of that same data.To access a particular bit in the bit-band region, its corresponding bit-band alias address is calculated as:bit-band alias address = bit-band base + 128 word offset + 4 bit number"
Suppose you have an integer variable "A"starting at memory address 0x(2000 A000). Give the fewest number of possible instructions that will set bit 17 of the variable A to 1:

a) Without bit-Banding:
b) With bit-Banding:
