Q1
For a 4-bit parallel adder, if the carry-in is connected to a logical HIGH, the result is:
  • A the same as if the carry-in is tied LOW since the least significant carry-in is ignored.
  • B that carry-out will always be HIGH.
  • C a one will be added to the final result.
  • D the carry-out is ignored.
Answer: Option C
