The propagation delay of the $2 \times 1$ MUX shown in the circuit is 10 ns. Consider the propagation delay of the inverter as 0 ns. 
If S is set to 1 then the output Y is ____________.
To determine the behavior of the output \( Y \) when the select line \( S \) is set to \( 1 \), we must analyze the feedback path of the circuit.
This configuration, where the output is fed back to the input with an odd number of inversions, forms a ring oscillator. The output will continuously toggle between '0' and '1', creating a square wave.
The time taken for the output to complete one full cycle (going from \( 0 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 0 \)) is twice the total propagation delay of the feedback loop.
A full cycle consists of two transitions (low-to-high and high-to-low):
$$T = 2 \times \Delta t = 2 \times 10 \text{ ns} = 20 \text{ ns}$$
The frequency is the reciprocal of the time period:
$$f = \frac{1}{T}$$ $$f = \frac{1}{20 \times 10^{-9} \text{ s}}$$ $$f = \frac{10^9}{20} \text{ Hz} = 50 \times 10^6 \text{ Hz}$$ $$f = 50 \text{ MHz}$$
Since the output toggles with a calculated frequency of \( 50 \text{ MHz} \), the correct choice is:
A square wave of frequency 50 MHz
