Answer:
The counting rate of a machine cycle in correlation to the oscillator frequency is 1/12 of oscillator frequency.
Step-by-step explanation:
when the timer counter is performing the timer function the register is incremented every machine cycle. Since a machine cycle consist of 12 oscillator periods, thus with 12 oscillator periods per machine cycle the count rate is 1/12 of the oscillator frequency. e.g. if the crystal frequency is 24 MHz then the clock frequency will be 1/12 of 24 i.e. MHz.
Hence the counting rate of a machine cycle in correlation to the oscillator frequency is 1/12 of oscillator frequency.
