For a common bus for eight registers of 16 bits each requires how many mux, size of mux?
A
32 multiplexers, 16 input lines
B
8 multiplexers, 8 input lines
C
16 multiplexers, 32 input lines
D
16 multiplexers, 8 input lines
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If there are 8 registers of 16 bits each, then we need 16 multiplexers, each of which is an 8 : 1 multiplexer to create the 16 bit data bus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Multiplexer is a combinational circuit that has maximum of 2n data inputs, ā€˜nā€™ selection lines and single output line. One of these data inputs will be connected to the output based on the values of selection lines. Since there are ā€˜nā€™ selection lines, there will be 2n possible combinations of zeros and ones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Common bus transfers 8-bits at a time. Eight 4:1 Muxes are required to design this system, 4:1 MUX since there are 4 registers.
