A sequence detector is designed to detect precisely 3 digital inputs, with overlapping
sequences detectable. For the sequence (1,0,1) and input data (1,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,1,0):

From the circuit, we can find out that
J_0=Q'_1,\;K_0=Q_1
J_1=Q_0,\;K_1=Q'_0

So state diagram is

at every 4th clock, the system is at 00
So, at 332 it will be at 00
So, at 333 clock it will be at 01.
J_0=Q'_1,\;K_0=Q_1
J_1=Q_0,\;K_1=Q'_0

So state diagram is

at every 4th clock, the system is at 00
So, at 332 it will be at 00
So, at 333 clock it will be at 01.
