Time : 3 hrs Max Marks : 75

                                         Part A

                           Answer any ten questions.

1. Explain the concept of base of a number system. Give examples. What is the significance of binary number system in designing computer memory?
2. Explain the significance of complements in binary number system. Distinguish between 1’s complement and 2’s complement.
3. State and prove De-Morgan’s theorem.
4. Write short note on BCD number system using the principle of BCD addition, perform 26 + 37
5. Write short note on the concept of universal gates. Why NAND gate is called a universal gate/
6. Write short note on the Min terms and Max terms. What do you mean by SOP and POS?
7. What is a flip flop? Why flip flops are considered to be the building block of computer memory?
8. With the help of a neat diagram, explain the working of an RS flip flop.
9. Explain the concept of half adders, explain the need for full adder.
10. What is a register? Explain different methods of data input to registers.
11. Compare and contradict synchronous and asynchronous counters.
12. Explain the concept of parity in data transfer. (3x 10 = 30 marks)
