A CPU has 2 modes, privileged and non-privileged. In order to change the mode from non-privileged to privileged normally software interrupt is used but can a hardware interrupt can change the mode from non-privileged to privileged?

OS - Privileged,non-privileged concept,typical/crucial
can a non privileged instruction be executed in privileged mode?(like when returning from kernel to user mode) or is it necessary to make it a privileged instruction?

doubt about privileged or non privileged instruction.
Talk about the correctness of following claims.1) The instruction to switch to kernel mode is an example of a privileged instruction.2) The instruction ... user mode is an example of a privileged instruction.Detailed explanation is needed.
