7. In 2's complement representation the number 11100101 represents the decimal number
A
.

+37

B
.

-31

C
.

+27

D
.

-27

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
A = 11100101. Therefore A = 00011010 and A' = A + 1 = 00011011 = 16 + 8 + 2 + 1 = 27.
Therefore A = -27.

A ring counter with 5 flip flops will have

A
.

5 states

B
.

10 states

C

32 states

D
.

infinite states

Answer: Option A
Explanation:
No answer description available for this question. Let us discuss.
Kirti said: (Apr 18,

A general counter with 5 flip-flops has 2^5 states. But a ring counter has only 5 states.

Tarun Agrawal said: (Jun 25, 2014)

In Ring counter the number of states depends upon the number of Flip-flop.
So according to given question.
In ring counter there is 5 flipflop.
So the no.of state will be '5'.

Sharna said: (Ju

Because ring counter is N:1 counter.

& johnson counter is 2N:1 counter.

12. In the expression A + BC, the total number of minterms will be

A
.

B
.

C
.

D
.

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The min terms are ABC + ABC + AB C + ABC + ABC.
View Answer Discuss in Forum Workspace Report
In this we are using De Morgan's law.
i.e A+BC = A(B+B')+BC(A+A').
= AB+AB'+ABC+A'BC.
= AB(C+C')+AB'(C+C')+ABC+A'BC.
= ABC+ABC'+AB'C+AB'C'+ABC+A'BC.

= ABC+ABC'+AB'C+A'BC(ABC+ABC=ABC).
= 1+1+1+1+1 = 5 min terms.
So, the total no. of min terms are 5.

13. The circuit in the given figure is

A
.

positive logic OR gate

B
.

negative logic OR gate

C
.

negative logic AND gate

D
.

positive logic AND gate

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Since V(1) is lower state than V(0) it is a negative logic circuit. Since diodes are in parallel, it is
an OR gate.
