    Check the explanation

    Explanation:

    Here we have 64 bytes per block so, n = 6

    no of blocks = 512 nad 16-way set associate cache so

    no of set = 29/24 i. e 5

    So if get any address and to get individual fields we need to as follows:

    Block Offset = Memory Address mod 2n

    Block Address = Memory Address / 2n

    Set Index = Block Address mod 2s
