  4. 0 msec

  5. 80 msec

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ripple counter is asynchronous counter, i.e. output of each flip flop is a clock to next flip flop. In 4 bit ripple counter, no. of flip flop is 4. Maximum delay is 40 msec, the delay propagates from first flip flop to last flip flop in 4 clocks. So, the delay from each flip flop is 40/4 = 10 msec. Delay in first flip flop + delay in second flip flop and so on.
