A 4 - bit carry lookahead adder, which adds two 4 - bit numbers, is designed using AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR gates only. Assuming that all the inputs are available in both complemented and un complemented forms and the delay of each gate is one time unit, what is the overall propagation delay of the adder? Assume that the carry network has been implemented using two level AND - OR logic.
- 4 time units
- 6 time units
- 10 time units
- 12 time units

Consider the Boolean function f(w, x, y, z). Suppose that exactly one of its inputs is allowed to change at a time. If the function happens to be true for two input vectors i1 = < w1, x1, y1, z1 > and i2 = < w2, x2, y2, z2 >, we would like the function to remain true as the input changes from i1 to i2 (i1 and i2 differ in exactly one bit position), without becoming false momentarily. Let $f(w, x, y, z) = \sum(5, 7, 11, 12, 13, 15)$. Which of the following cube covers of f will ensure that the required property is satisfied?
- $\bar wxy, wx\bar y, x\bar yz, xyz, wyz$
- $wxy,\bar wxz, wyz$
- $wx,\overline {yx} xz, w\bar xyz$
- $wzy, wyz, wxz, \bar wxz, x\bar yz, xyz$
