In the 8085 Instruction set, there is a mnemonic RAL, which stands for Rotate Accumulator Left and involves the Carry flag in rotation.
In this operation, the bit which is coming out from the most significant place will be copied to the Carry flag bit and the previous carry bit will be moved to the least significant bit place of the accumulator.
Explanation
Given, AA H = 1010 1010
and CY = 0
0 1010 1010
On the first operation of the RAL command, the output, and CY flag is
1 0101 0100
0101 0100 = 54 H
and CY = 1
On the second operation of the RAL command, the output, and CY flag is
0 1010 1001
1010 1001 = A9 H
and CY = 0
So, the correct answer is option 2.
