Opcode     Addressing Modes      Register Address      Memory Address

 

(05)bits              (03) bits                       (03) bits                       (21) bits

< --------------------- ----- 32 bit Instruction Format --------------------------------------------------->

6 addressing modes will requires 03 bits in instruction format.

7 Register Address will require 03 bits in instruction format.

There are 2M words in memory.so we need 21 bits for representing memory address.

Out of total 32 bits, 21+03+03 gone just remaining 05 bits shows opcode.
