34.
The counter in the given figure is
Mod 3
Mod 6
Mod 8
Mod 7
Answer: Option
Explanation:

When counter is 110 the counter resets. Hence mod 6.

Expand above expression?

Actually A is LSB and C is MSB. Here clear is active low so that we have to give clr=0. For that B and C should be 1 and 1. Because the output of NAND must 0.

Not getting please elaborate, how 6?

Rakesh said:   9 years ago
Of course @Vijaya Venkat,

The answer follows like this I think.

000, 001, 010, 011 then counter resets. So the answer must be mod 3.

I think the states will be like this,

000
101
011
100
101
110 (but the flipflops would reset at this state) so it is a mod 6 counter.

Answer should be MOD 7. Because if it starts from 000 (A,B and C respectively) it will go as below,
ABC
000
100
010
110
001
101
011
back to
000

Hence it is Mod 7.

I think its Better to Mention Which one is MSB and LSB in the question.

Vijayalakshmi said:   7 years ago
JK flip flop state is 2N:1.
N=3 flip flop,so mod=2N=2*3=6.
Ans:B.

Bhanu said:   7 years ago
Mod 3 is correct answer. Because MSB is always at right side in counters topic itself.

Ashish said:   7 years ago
It is asynchronous counter with A as LSB (as clk is applied to A only).
Hence only up counting or down counting takes place.
Mod 6 is correct.
