Correct answer: C

Solution: (iii) is correct

Explanation: cycle time (in pipeline) = register delay +max stage delay =0+20 =20ns

In the given question no register delay are given so consider it 0.

According to given data, speedup is

= (Time taken by non-pipeline) / (Time taken by pipeline)

= (5*100*20) / {(5+100- 1)*20}

= 4.81

Option (iii) is correct.
