Four steps of Machine cycle.
Fetch - Retrieve an instruction from the memory.
Decode - Translate the retrieved instruction into a series of computer commands.
Execute - Execute the computer commands.
Store - Send and write the results back in memory.
Instruction cycle
The sequence of operations that the cpu has to carry out while execution is called instruction cycle.
Fetch - Retrieve an instruction from the memory.
Decode - Translate the retrieved instruction into a series of computer commands.

Machine Cycle: The necessary steps to a fetch, a read or a write operation constitute a Machine cycle.
Instruction Cycle: The necessary steps that a CPU carries out to fetch an instruction and necessary data from the memory, and to execute it constitute an Instruction Cycle.

Instruction Cycle - The Steps required by CPU to fetch and execute an Instruction is called a Instruction Cycle.
Machine Cycle - It is a time Required by microprocessor to complete the operation of accessing memory or I/O devices is called machine cycle.

1 instruction is executed in n number of machine cycles whereas time taken by a microprocessor to fetch, decode and execute a complete instruction varies as per the instruction and is counted in terms of machine cycles.

I thought assembly does not need to convert it already given in binary form. Then what is difference between machine language and assembly language.

fetch and execute one operation is called machine cycle
but fetch and execute a complete instruction is called instruction cycle
but fetch and execute a complete instruction is called instruction cycle

Nitin what is the diff. between 1 operation and 1 instruction?,could u please tell me,i think u invented a new concept.

Machine cycle consist of fetch, decoding, execution.
But in the question decoding is not specified.
