  1. What is frequency of the pulse at point a, b, c, d in circuit?
    1. 20 Hz, 500 Hz, 33.25 Hz, 3.9 Hz
    2. 10 kHz, 500 Hz, 31.25 Hz, 3.9 Hz
    3. 10 Hz, 500 kHz, 31.25 kHz, 3.8 Hz
    4. 100 kHz, 50 kHz, 31.25 MHz, 3.6 Hz
Correct Option: B

∴ Ring counter is a N: 1 divider, where N = no. of bits.

a =
100k
= 10kHz
10

MOD 20 counter is a divided by 20 counter, so
∴ b =
10kHz
= 500Hz
20

4 bit parallel counter ⇒ 4 flip-flop used
Hence, 24 = 16, stages i.e., MOD-16 counter, so.
∴ C =
500
= 31.25Hz
16

4 bit Johnson counter is a 2N: 1 divider, where N is the no. of bit
∴ d =
31.25
= 3.9Hz
8

Hence alternative (B) is the correct answer.
