Q.

How many full adders are required to construct an m-bit parallel adder?

A. m/2
B. m
C. m-1
D. m+1
Answer» C. m-1
Explanation: we need adder for every bit. so we should need m bit adders. a full adder adds a carry bit to two inputs and produces an output and a carry. but the most significant bits can use a half adder which differs from the full adder as in that it has no carry input, so we need m-1 full adders and 1 half adder in m bit parallel adder.
