Q11
Which of the following is an example of a combinational circuit?
  • A Flip-flop
  • B Counter
  • C Multiplexer
  • D Shift register
Answer: Option C
Explanation: Flip-flops are sequential circuits while others are combinational.
Q12
What is the output of a half adder when both inputs are 1?
  • A Sum=0, Carry=0
  • B Sum=1, Carry=0
  • C Sum=0, Carry=1
  • D Sum=1, Carry=1
Answer: Option C
Explanation: Half adder: Sum = A XOR B, Carry = A AND B
Q13
How many inputs does a full adder have?
  • A 1
  • B 2
  • C 3
  • D 4
Answer: Option C
Explanation: Full adder has 3 inputs: A, B, and Carry-in
Q14
What is the main difference between combinational and sequential circuits?
  • A Clock requirement
  • B Memory elements
  • C Number of gates
  • D Power consumption
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Sequential circuits have memory while combinational do not.
Q15
Which gate is primarily used in parity generators?
  • A AND gate
  • B OR gate
  • C XOR gate
  • D NAND gate
Answer: Option C
Explanation: XOR gates are used for parity generation and checking.
Q16
What does a multiplexer do?
  • A Encodes data
  • B Decodes data
  • C Selects one input from multiple
  • D Stores data
Answer: Option C
Explanation: Multiplexer selects one of many input lines to single output.
Q17
How many select lines are needed for a 8-to-1 multiplexer?
  • A 1
  • B 2
  • C 3
  • D 4
Answer: Option C
Explanation: 2^n = number of inputs, so 2^3=8 needs 3 select lines
Q18
What is the function of a decoder?
  • A Converts binary to decimal
  • B Selects inputs
  • C Stores data
  • D Amplifies signals
Answer: Option A
Explanation: Decoder converts binary code to output lines.
Q19
How many output lines does a 3-to-8 decoder have?
  • A 2
  • B 4
  • C 6
  • D 8
Answer: Option D
Explanation: 3-to-8 decoder has 8 output lines (2^3=8)
Q20
What is a priority encoder?
  • A Encoder with priority for highest input
  • B Encoder with equal priority
  • C Encoder with memory
  • D Encoder with parallel output
Answer: Option A
Explanation: Priority encoder gives priority to highest order input.
