SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the correct answer for a 4-bit magnitude comparator homework problem. The participant concludes that options (A) and (C) are incorrect, and suggests that option (E) is the correct answer based on the analysis of the inputs. The reasoning includes the observation that when input A is 1, the output is true, and that the input at Y is at least twice that of the input at X, indicating a left shift. The only exception noted is when all inputs are zero.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of 4-bit magnitude comparators
  • Familiarity with binary number representation
  • Knowledge of logical operations and truth tables
  • Basic concepts of digital circuits and shifting operations

The Attempt at a Solution


As long as A = 1, its true, So options (A) and (C) are wrong. My ans is (E). Right?[/B]

As far as I can guess from the figure, the input at Y is at least twice that of the input at X (left shift). Thus F is TRUE.
 
Except when all zeroes right?
