Attempted by 192 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
A multiplexer (MUX) uses selection lines to determine which input line gets directed to the single output line. The relationship between the number of input lines (n) and the number of selection lines (s) is governed by the formula:
2s = n
For an 8 X 1 multiplexer:
Inputs (n): 8
Selection lines (s): Since 23 = 8, it requires 3 selection lines, not 2.
