In a look-ahead carry generator, the carry generate function G_i and the carry propagate function P_i for inputs A_i and B_i are given by:

Pi = Ai ⨁ Bi and Gi = AiBi 

The expressions for the sum bit S_i and the carry bit C_i+1 of the look-ahead carry adder are given by:

Si = Pi ⨁ Ci and Ci+1 = Gi + PiCi , where C0 is the input carry. 

Consider a two-level logic implementation of the look-ahead carry generator. Assume that all P_i and G_i

are available for the carry generator circuit and that the AND and OR gates can have any number of inputs. The number of AND gates and OR gates needed to implement the look-ahead carry generator for a 4-bit adder with S3, S2, S1, S0 and C4 as its outputs are respectively:
