Question

Assertion (A) : Delay flip flop is used to store a single bit either 0 or 1.

Reason (R) : It has only one input, when clock is high and D input is also high, the output resets.

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2016 Paper 3 Defence and Strategic Studies Question Paper (10-Jul-2016)
The correct answer is

(A) is true, but (R) is false.

 Assertion — TRUE. A D (delay or data) flip-flop is the basic one-bit storage element. Its characteristic equation is

\(Q_{n+1}=D_n\)

so whatever level is present on D at the active clock edge is captured and held until the next edge. That is exactly what "stores a single bit, 0 or 1" means, and it is why D flip-flops are the cells of registers, shift registers and every pipeline stage.

Reason — contains a true half and a false half, so it fails.

True part: the D flip-flop does have only one data input, which is its great advantage over the S-R type — there is no way to present the forbidden S = R = 1 combination, because R is generated internally as \(\overline{D}\).

False part: with the clock active and D high, the output is SET to 1, not reset. Reset happens when D is low. The reason states the opposite:

ClockDQn+1Action
00reset
11set
0XQnhold

So the assertion is correct and the reason is not.

Where the name comes from. Because the output reproduces the input one clock period later, the device delays the data by exactly one cycle — which is what makes a chain of them a shift register, and what lets synchronous design reason about timing in whole clock periods. For the capture to be reliable, D must be steady for the set-up time before the edge and the hold time after it.

Hence, (A) is true, but (R) is false.
