Which of the following statements are true?

I. A circuit that adds two bits, producing a sum bit and a carry bit is called half adder.
II. A circuit that adds two bits, producing a sum bit and a carry bit is called full adder.
III. A circuit that adds two bits and a carry bit producing a sum bit and a carry bit is called full adder.
IV. A device that accepts the value of a Boolean variable as input and produces its complement is called an inverter.

  1. A.

    I & II

  2. B.

    II & III

  3. C.

    I, II, III

  4. D.

    I, III & IV

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Statement I is true because a half adder adds two bits to produce sum and carry outputs. Statement II is false as full adders require three inputs. Statement III correctly defines a full adder handling two bits and a carry bit. Statement IV is true since an inverter produces the complement of its input.
