Answer and solution
Answer (b)
Solution
Physics sir · 2 steps
Name each gate's output, then feed both into the OR: Y is Ā + AB, which is Ā + B.
- Read the gates. The top branch sends A through a NOT gate, giving Ā. The bottom branch sends A and B through an AND gate, giving AB. The OR gate combines the two, so Y = Ā + AB.
Y = Ā + AB = (Ā + A)(Ā + B) = Ā + B
A B Ā AB Y = Ā + AB 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 - So. The output column reads 1, 1, 0, 1. Y is 0 only when A = 1 and B = 0, which is the table in option (b).
The idea to keep. For any gate circuit, write the output of every gate in terms of A and B, then fill a truth table column by column. Simplify with Ā + AB = Ā + B when it helps.
