- In order to build a MOD-18 counter, the minimum number of flip flops needed is equal to:
(A) 18 (B) 9
(C) 5 (D) 4
Answer: C
Explanation:
With ‘n’ no. of flip-flops you can get upto max. modulo-[2^n] counter.
Therefore for modulo-18 counter 2^5 = 32 which is greater than 18 and 2^4 = 16 which is less than 18. Hence we require 5 flip-flops.

- The aging algorithm with a=0.5 is used to predict run times. The previous four runs from oldest to most recent are 40, 20, 20 and 15 msec. The prediction for the next time will be:
(A) 15 msec (B) 25 msec
(C) 39 msec (D) 40 msec
Answer: B
Ans: If take all four previous run times into consideration, the prediction
is (((40 + 20) / 2 + 40) / 2 + 15) / 2 = ((30 + 40) / 2 + 15) /2
= (35 + 15) / 2 = 25
Or
if take only two previous run times into consideration, the
prediction is (40 + 15) /2 = 27.5
