@Ram,

7 bit means 2^7 combinations i.e 128. So to decode 128 combinations we require 128/16=8 1 of 16 decoders.

2^7=128
128/16=8

How are we going to connect the i/p lines.
Let us say the binary no. is A6...A0.
A3...A0 are common to all decoders but what about the remaining A6...A4. How are going to use them.

I guess there should be one more option of 9 decoders to use last 3 bits as enable lines for the 8 decoders.
But in this case how are going to connect them ?

The input is a 7-bit binary number.
So for 7 inputs, we have 2^7 OUTPUT which means 128 outputs,
Here we have a 1^16 decoder we have 16 outputs here,
So 128/16 = 8.
So, the answer is 8.

@Samir.

Can you please explain the theory behind the calculation ?
