4. Which of the following is not a valid BCD?
a) 0110
b) 0111
c) 1000
d) 1010
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Binary numbers 0000 to 1001 are known as valid BCD numbers.

5. Which of the following have high propagation delay?
a) Synchronous counter
b) Asynchronous counter
c) Both have the same propagation delay
d) Both have an unpredictable propagation delay
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Propagation delay is high in case of asynchronous counters since the clock pulse is given to the first flip flop only.

6. Asynchronous counters does not need a clock pulse.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Asynchronous counters require clock pulses, they are given to first flip flop.

7. In a BCD counter count 1010 corresponds to ____________
a) Ten
b) Zero
c) Two
d) One
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Valid BCD numbers are from 0000 to 1001, and count 1010 corresponds to zero.

8. What will be the final count value if 10 flip flops are used?
a) 100
b) 1024
c) 1023
d) 99
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Count Value is the number of flip flops to the power of two. That is from zero to 1023.
