Suppose some hypothetical systems control unit has a ring (cycle) counter consisting of some number of D

Question:

Suppose some hypothetical system’s control unit has a ring (cycle) counter consisting of some number of D flip-flops. This system runs at 1GHz and has a maximum of 10 microoperations/instruction. 

a. What is the maximum frequency of the output (number of signal pulses) output by each flip-flop? 

b. How long does it take to execute an instruction that requires only four microoperations?
