3. Which one of the following statements correctly defines the full adder? An adder circuit ?

having two inputs used to add two binary digits. It produces their sum and carry as input

having three inputs used to add two digits plus a carry. It produces their sum and carry as output

used in least significant position when adding two binary digits with no carry-in to consider, it produces their sum and carry as outputs

having two inputs and two outputs

Answer: having three inputs used to add two digits plus a carry. It produces their sum and carry as output

Explanation:


4. Which one of the following statements is not correct ?

A full adder can be constructed using two half-adders and an OR gate

Two four bit parallel adders can be cascaded to construct 8-bit parallel adder

Ripple carry adder has addition time independent of the number of bits

Carry look ahead is used to speed up the parallel addition

Answer: Ripple carry adder has addition time independent of the number of bits

5. For a binary half-subtractor having two inputs A and B, the correct set of logical expressions for the outputs D (= A minus B) and X (= borrow) are ?

D=AB+ A’B, X = A’B

D=A’B+ AB’ + AB, X= AB’

D=A’B + AB’, X = A’B
