A Boolean digital circuit is composed using two 4-input multiplexers (M1 and M2) and one 2-input multiplexer (M3) as shown in the figure. X0-X7 are the inputs of the multiplexers M1 and M2 and could be connected to either 0 or 1. The select lines of the multiplexers are connected to Boolean variables A, B and C as shown.

Which one of the following set of values of (X0, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7) will realise the Boolean function $$\overline A + \overline A \,.\,\overline C + A\,.\,\overline B \,.\,C$$ ?

Consider the IEEE-754 single precision floating point numbers P=0xC1800000 and Q=0x3F5C2EF4.

Which one of the following corresponds to the product of these numbers (i.e., P $$\times$$ Q), represented in the IEEE-754 single precision format?

The Lucas sequence $$L_n$$ is defined by the recurrence relation:

$${L_n} = {L_{n - 1}} + {L_{n - 2}}$$, for $$n \ge 3$$,

with $${L_1} = 1$$ and $${L_2} = 3$$.

Which one of the options given is TRUE?

Let $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \cr 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 \cr 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 \cr 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 \cr } } \right]$$ and $$B = \left[ {\matrix{ 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 \cr 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 \cr 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \cr 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 \cr } } \right]$$.

Let $$\mathrm{det}(A)$$ and $$\mathrm{det}(B)$$ denote the determinates of the matrices A and B, respectively.

Which one of the options given below is TRUE?
