The binary operator $$ \ne $$ is defined by the following truth table.

p	q	p$$ \ne $$q
0	0	0
0	1	1
1	0	1
1	1	0

Which one of the following is true about the binary operator $$ \ne $$?

A positive edge-triggered D flip-flop is connected to a positive edge-triggered JK flip-flop as follows. The Q output of the D flip-flop is connected to both the J and K inputs of the JK flip-flop, while the Q output of the JK flip-flop is connected to the input of the D flip-flop. Initially, the output of the D flip-flop is set to logic one and the output of the JK flip-flop is cleared. Which one of the following is the bit sequence (including the initial state) generated at the Q output of the JK flip-flop when the flip-flops are connected to a free-running common clock? Assume that J = K = 1 is the toggle mode and J = K = 0 is the state-holding mode of the JK flip-flop. Both the flip-flops have non-zero propagation delays.

Consider the operations

$$f\left( {x,y,z} \right) = X'YZ + XY' + Y'Z'$$ and
$$g\left( {x,y,z} \right) = X'YZ + X'YZ' + XY$$.

Which one of the following is correct?

Consider the following $$2 \times 2$$ matrix $$A$$ where two elements are unknown and are marked by $$a$$ and $$b.$$ The eigenvalues of this matrix ar $$-1$$ and $$7.$$ What are the values of $$a$$ and $$b$$?
$$A = \left( {\matrix{ 1 & 4 \cr b & a \cr } } \right)$$
