In the logic circuit shown in the figure, if input A and B are 0 to 1 respectively, then output at Y would be ' x '. The value of x is ____
Answer: 0
Solution
The inverter fed by A puts Aˉ on one rail and the inverter fed by B puts Bˉ on the other. The upright inverter draws its input from the Bˉ rail, its lead hopping over the Aˉ rail without joining it, and so restores B. The NOR gate therefore receives A and B, while the NAND gate receives Aˉ and Bˉ. With A=0 and B=1, the NOR gate gives 0+1=0 and the NAND gate gives 1⋅0=1. The AND gate at the output combines them:
Y=0⋅1=0
The output is x=0.
