    Given circuit arrangement

    From given circuit arrangement, we get

    i.e., After first CLK we get 2 → 1 → 4 again and again. Thus we can conclude that the given arrangement is known as Mod–3 counter. Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: D

    Clock period =
    1
    = 100ns
    10 × 106

    Number of flip-flop =
    100(ns)
    = 8
    12.5(ns)

    ∴ Maximum MOD counter = 256 ∴ (28 = 256)

    Correct Option: C

    Clock period =
    1
    = 100ns
    10 × 106

    Number of flip-flop =
    100(ns)
    = 8
    12.5(ns)

    ∴ Maximum MOD counter = 256 ∴ (28 = 256)



  1. Initially Q0 = Q1 = 0. What will be the logic states of Q0and Q1 immediately after 777th clock pulse for the figure shown below—

    This is Johnson counter as Q is feedback to input. This means it is a down counter. Number of state = 2n = 4

    So, After 776th clk pulse → State is 00, as
    777
    = 194
    4

    and 1 remainder. Hence, at 777th clk pulse state is 10.

    Correct Option: B

    For D to JK conversion
    Qn + 1 = JQ + KQ …(i)
    But according to the given figure
    Z= XQ + YQ …(ii)
    comparing eqn. (i) and (ii), we get
    ⇒ X = K and Y = J

    Hence alternative (D) is the correct answer.

    When inputs are floating, assume floating input/ inputs should be equal to 1. So, Y = 1. AB = AB

    Correct Option: D
