Question
The state transition diagram for the circuit shown is
The select input of the multiplexer is (input 1 is , input 0 is ). Each option lists the next state for every present state and input .

Correct answer
(C) From Q=0: A=0 → Q=1, A=1 → Q=1. From Q=1: A=0 → Q=1, A=1 → Q=0.
Solution
The MUX output is when and when . The flip-flop input is and .A = 0: , so . The next state is 1 from either state.A = 1: , so . The flip-flop toggles.Transitions:
- From : , .
- From : (stays), .
- (A) wrong: from with the state goes to 1, not 0.
- (B) wrong: from with the state stays at 1.
- (D) wrong: from with the state goes to 1.
