Booth\’s algorithm for integer multiplication gives worst performance when the multiplier pattern is
(A) 101010 ………1010
(B) 100000 ………0001
(C) 111111 ………1111
(D) 011111 ………1110


Answer: (A)

Explanation: The worst case of an implementation using Booth’s algorithm is when pairs of 01s or 10s occur very frequently in the multiplier.

So, option (A) is correct.
