Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Starting with the initial state Q1Q0 = 00:
First Clock Pulse:
Q0 receives the pulse and toggles from 0 to 1.
Since Q0 went from 0 to 1 (a positive edge), it triggers Q1.
Q1 toggles from 0 to 1.
New State: 11
Second Clock Pulse:
Q0 receives the pulse and toggles from 1 to 0.
Since Q0 went from 1 to 0 (a negative edge), it does not trigger the positive edge-triggered Q1.
Q1 remains 1.
New State: 10
Third Clock Pulse:
Q0 receives the pulse and toggles from 0 to 1.
Since Q0 went from 0 to 1 (positive edge), it triggers Q1.
Q1 toggles from 1 to 0.
New State: 01
Final Answer
If the initial value is 00, the next three values of Q1Q0 are:
11, 10, 01
