An AND gate has two inputs A and B and one inhibit input 3, Output is 1 if
A = 1, B = 1, S = 1
A = 1, B = 1, S = 0
A = 1, B = 0, S = 1
A = 1, B = 0, S = 0
Answer: Option
Explanation:

All AND inputs must be 1 and inhibit 0 for output to be 1.

A JK flip flop has tpd= 12 ns. The largest modulus of a ripple counter using these flip flops and operating at 10 MHz is
16
64
128
256
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Number of flip-flops = = 8.333 say 8

Modulus = 28 = 256.

flip flop
counter
multiplexer
encoder
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Storing can be done only in memory and flip-flop is a memory element.

In a ripple counter,
whenever a flip flop sets to 1, the next higher FF toggles
whenever a flip flop sets to 0, the next higher FF remains unchanged
whenever a flip flop sets to 1, the next higher FF faces race condition
whenever a flip flop sets to 0, the next higher FF faces race condition
Answer: Option
Explanation:

In a ripple counter the effect ripples through the counter.
