Q37

A positive edge-triggered $D$ flip-flop is connected to a positive edge-triggered $JK$ flip-flop as follows. The $Q$ output of the $D$ flip-flop is connected to both the $J$ and $K$ inputs of the $JK$ flip-flop, while the $Q$ output of the $JK$ flip-flop is connected to the input of the $D$ flip-flop. Initially, the output of the $D$ flip-flop is set to logic one and the output of the $JK$ flip-flop is cleared. Which one of the following is the bit sequence (including the initial state) generated at the $Q$ output of the $JK$ flip-flop when the flip-flops are connected to a free-running common clock? Assume that $J = K = 1$ is the toggle mode and $J = K = 0$ is the state holding mode of the $JK$ flip-flops. Both the flip-flops have non-zero propagation delays.
