Question 1: Why is it necessary to provide the segment and offset address in case of FAR jump?
Answer:
Segment and offset must be given to a far jump. Because, sometimes we may need to go from one code segment to another, and near and short jumps cannot take us there. Far jump must be used and a two byte segment and a two byte offset are given to it. It loads CS with the segment part and IP with the offset part.
