Consider the following comparison instruction:TST R0, R1, ASR #1 ; R0 = 0x12345678 and R1 = 0xDB97530F(i) Appraise the value of the condition flags (N, Z, C, V) after the execution of the instruction. Use the values of R0 and R1 provided in the instruction comment.(ii) The conditional branches are BHS, BLO, BLT and BPL. From the condition flag bits appraised in Question 2(b)(i), determine which of the above conditional branches will be executed.
