For the given circuit, which of the following is correct?

The number 5 is being written to the memory at address location 203.
The chip has not been enabled, since the EN terminal is 0; therefore, nothing will be written to the chip and the output is tri-stated.
Decimal 10 is being written into memory location 211.
The read/write line is LOW; therefore, decimal 5 is being stored at memory location 211.

What is the significance of the inverted triangles on the outputs of the device in the given figure?

They represent inverters and mean that the outputs are active-LOW.
They represent buffers and mean that the outputs can drive 40 TTL loads, instead of the normal 10.
It means that the outputs will be active only if a change has occurred at that memory location since the last read/write cycle.
The outputs are tristated.
