Answer:

The answer is 10 states.

Explanation:

Since the mod-2 counter followed by mod-5 counter will work as mod-10 counter. It can also be called as decade. it will have 4 flip flops and total 16 potential states of which only 10 are used. The following attachment shows the number of states in mod-10 counter.

The mod -10 counter passes through 10 states before it starts a new and thus it is interesting when the decimal number system is used.
