The truth table of the given circuit diagram is :
- (a)
- (b)
- (c)
- (d)
Answer and solution
Answer (a)
Solution
Physics sir · 3 steps
Trace each inverter to the AND gate it feeds; each AND gate then gets one input plain and one inverted.
- Read the wiring. The wires from the two NOT gates cross. So the top AND gate gets A and B̄, and the bottom AND gate gets Ā and B.
Y = AB̄ + ĀB = A ⊕ B
- Name the gate. This is the XOR gate. The output is 1 only when the two inputs are different.
A B AB̄ ĀB Y 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 - So. The output column reads 0, 1, 1, 0, which matches the truth table in option (a).
The idea to keep. When the pattern is AB̄ + ĀB, recognise XOR at once: output 1 when the inputs differ. To check a truth table quickly, test the 00 and 11 rows first.
