A decade counter skips
binary states 1000 to 1111
binary states 0000 to 0011
binary states 1010 to 1111
binary states 1111 to higher

A decade counter counts in between 0 to 9 digits and the rest will be skipped so the option will be c and not d because 15 digit doesnt even occur in decade counter.

Decade =10, which means it has 10 locked states, which require 10 clock pulses.

It counts from 0000 to 1001 and restarts again from 0000 for the 11th clock pulse.

Decad means 10 ie 0-9in binary 0000-1110.

In 4bit we can add to count 0-15.

So, the Decad line is up to 1110 so, it skips from1010-1111.

Can anyone please explain me something more on this question.

Why we use example of 10-state only in the skipping?

Decade counter have 0 to 15 digit, but it counts only 0 to 9 digits, remaining 10 to 15 are skipped.

Why should D option is wrong? Could anyone clarify? It has also included 15 and above.
Pankaj said:   1 decade ago
Because Decade counter count 10 digits from 0 to 9. After all item will be skipped.

@All.

D option is wrong because 10 to 15 digits are skipped in decade counter.

How many states do we have in a 10 to 21 digital counter? Please tell me.

Simple, Decade means 10 and always number system starts from 0.
