QUESTION 1:
Which of the following represents the complement of the function X + YZ?
a. X’(Y’+Z’)
b. X’(Y+Z)’
c. X’Y’ +Z’
d. X’ + Y’Z’

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution:

(X +YZ )’= X’(YZ)’ = X’(Y’ +Z’) [applying demorgan’s theorem]

QUESTION 3:
A positive edge triggered D flip flop is connected as shown in the figure below. What would be
the Q output in relation to the clock? Assume Q is initially 0.

a. Timing Diagram A
b. Timing Diagram B
c. Timing Diagram C

QUESTION 4:
How many address and data lines is there in 1M×16 ROM system?
a. 20 and 4
b. 20 and 16
c. 10 and 4
d. 10 and 16

Correct Answer: b

Detailed Solution:

Since there are 1000K words, the number of address lines will be 20, since 220 = 1M = 106. Also
since the word size is 16 bits, the number of data lines will also be 16.

Identify the circuit shown in the figure below.

a. Synchronous 3-bit Binary up counter


b. Synchronous 3-bit Binary down counter
c. Asynchronous 3-bit Binary up counter
d. Asynchronous 3-bit Binary down counter

Correct Answer: b

Detailed Solution:

The circuit adds 111 to input {Y0,Y1,Y2}.

We find the output for each input combination. From the circuit we can see that carry is
ignored.

Y= {Y2Y1Y0} Q = {Q2Q1Q0}

000 111

001 000

010 001

011 010

100 011

101 100

110 101

111 110

The output is always less than previous input by 1. Thus from the truth table it is clear that the
circuit is a binary down counter. Since clock is common to all D FFs, the circuit is synchronous.

QUESTION 6:
The Boolean expression (X + Y).(X + Y’) simplifies to
a. X
b. Y
c. XY’
d. Y’

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution:

(X + Y) (X + Y’)
= XX + XY’ + XY + YY’
= XX + X (Y’ + Y)
= XX + X
= X (X + 1)
=X

QUESTION 7:
Which of the following statements is not correct?
a. AB + A’C + BC = AB + A’C
b. A + AB = A
c. (A + B) (A’ + C) (B + C) = (A + B) (A’ + C)
d. AB + A’C = (A + C’) (A’ + B’)

Correct Answer: d

Detailed Solution:

(A + C’) (A’ + B’)


= AA’+ AB’+A’C’ + AB ‘
= AB’ + A’C’ ≠ AB + A’C

QUESTION 8:
The number “00101110” when converted to BCD is
a. 01000110
b. 00100110
c. 01010100
d. Cannot be determined

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution:

00101110 is equal to 46 in decimal. 4 in binary is 0100 and 6 in binary is 0110. Combined er get
01000110
