Given a 8-bit ripple carry adder and the following four input scenarios: (i) A4 + 1F, (ii) AB+55, (iii) CA+34, (iv) 6D+29. a) Under which input scenario can adder generate correct output with the minimal delay? b) Under which input scenario can adder generate correct output with the maximum delay?

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.
