Which one of the following will be the output of the given circuit?
(A)AND Gate
(B)NAND Gate
(C)NOR Gate
(D)XOR Gate✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
The upper gate forms A⋅B and the inverter that follows it gives A⋅B, while the lower gate forms A+B. The output gate takes the AND of these two signals:
Y=A⋅B(A+B)=(Aˉ+Bˉ)(A+B)=ABˉ+AˉB
This is 1 when the two inputs differ and 0 when they agree, which is the behaviour of an XOR gate.
