Choose the correct answer from the options given below:





Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

A: Base-3 number $(12P)_3$ implies $P<3$, but $(123)_p$ implies base $p>3$ ⇒ infeasible → True
B: Given expression is not in simplified SOP form → False
C: For mod-$258$, $2^8=256<258$, so minimum flip-flops required = 9 → False

Phrases PYQ
A RAM chip has a capacity of $1024$ words of $8$ bits each $(1k \times 8)$. The number of $2 \times 4$ decoders with enable line needed to construct a $16k \times 16$ RAM from $1k \times 8$ RAM is ______.

1. 2p
2. 2p+1
3. 2p-1
4. $2^{p-2}$





Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases CUET 2025 PYQ

Solution

We know the relationship between minimum Hamming distance \(d_{\min}\) and error correction capability \(p\):

\[ d_{\min} \;\geq\; 2p + 1 \]

This ensures the code can correct up to \(p\) errors.

Correct answer:

\[ \boxed{2p+1} \]

Phrases PYQ
Minimum number of 2:1 Multiplexers required to design a 16:1 Multiplexer is?





Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases CUET 2025 PYQ

Solution

To implement an \(n:1\) multiplexer using only \(2:1\) multiplexers, the minimum number required is:

\[ \text{Number of 2:1 MUX} = n - 1 \]

For \(n = 16\):

\[ 16 - 1 = 15 \]

✅ Therefore, the minimum number of \(2:1\) multiplexers required to design a \(16:1\) multiplexer is: \[ \boxed{15} \]


Phrases PYQ
A 2’s-complement adder–subtracter can add or subtract binary numbers. Sign-magnitude numbers represent ______ decimal numbers, and 2’s complements stand for ______ decimal numbers.





Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

In sign-magnitude representation, a separate sign bit is used, mainly representing positive numbers explicitly.

2’s-complement representation is primarily used to represent negative numbers in binary arithmetic.

Phrases PYQ
