Logic Gates Multiple Choice Question And Answers

Logic Gates

Question 1. The logic gate represented in the adjoining figure is

1. An OR gate
2. A NOT gate
3. A NAND gate
4. An XOR gate

Answer: 1. An OR gate

The output of the combination of the two given gates represents an OR gate.

G₁ is a NOR gate, which gives the output \(Y^{\prime}=\overline{A+B}\).

Two identical inputs in a NOR gate give the same output as a NOT gate.

Thus, \(\bar{Y}=\overline{Y^{\prime}}=\overline{\overline{A+B}}\) = A + B.

Hence, it is an OR gate.

The truth table for this gate is as under.

This output corresponds to an OR gate.

Question 2. The given combination of gates is equivalent to

1. An AND gate
2. An OR gate
3. A NOR gate
4. A NOT gate

Answer: 3. A NOR gate

The output of the combination of the given gates (G₁ and G₂) with a NOT gate is the same as that of a NOR gate.

The output of G₁ (a NOR gate) is \(Y^{\prime}=\overline{A+B}\).

The G₂ gate is equivalent to a NOT gate.

Hence, \(Y^{\prime \prime}=\overline{Y^{\prime}}=\overline{\overline{A+B}}\) = A + B.

Finally, through a NOT gate, \(Y=\overline{A+B}\), which is the output of a NOR gate. This is also indicated by the following truth table.

The output corresponds to that of a NOR gate.

Question 3. Which logic gate is represented by the given combination of logic gates?

4. NOR

Answer: 3. AND

The truth table for the given combination of gates is shown below. In the given circuit, there are two NOT gates whose outputs Y₁ and Y₂ are complements of A and B. These inputs to the given NOR gate give the final output Y as that of an AND gate.

The truth table shows that when both the inputs are high then only we are getting a high value of the output, otherwise zero. This corresponds to an AND gate.

Question 4. The output in the given circuit is

1. (A + B).\(\bar{B}\)

Question 6. The circuit given here is equivalent to

1. An AND gate
2. A NAND gate
3. A NOR gate
4. A OR gate

Answer: 3. A NOR gate

The output of the (NOR gate) G₁ is \(Y^{\prime}=\overline{A+B}\)

The output of the (NAND gate) G₂ is Y” = \(Y^{\prime \prime}=\overline{Y^{\prime}}=\overline{A+B}=A+B\)

The output of the (NOT gate) G₃ is Y = Y” = A + B.

This final output corresponds to a NOR gate, which is confirmed by the truth table given below.

Question 7. To get an output of 1 for the following circuit, the correct choice for the inputs is

1. A = 1, B = 0, C = 0
2. A = 1, B = 1, C = 0
3. A = 1, B = 0, C = 1
4. A = 0, B = 1, C = 0

Answer: 3. A = 1, B = 0, C = 1

The output of G₁ (an OR gate) is Y’ = A + B.

The output Y of G₂ (an AND gate) is Y = (A + B).C

For Y =1, we have C = 1, and either A = 0 and B =1 or A =1 and B = 0 or A = 1 and B = 1.

Hence, option (3) gives a correct combination.

Question 8. What are the respective values of the output Y in the given circuit when all three inputs (A, B, C) are first 0 and then 1?

1. 0 and 1
2. 0 and 0
3. 1 and 0
4. 1 and 1

Answer: 3. 1 and 0

The output of the AND gate G₁ is Y’ = A.B

The output of the NAND gate G₂ is \(Y=\overline{Y^{\prime} \cdot C}=\overline{(A \cdot B) \cdot C}\)

If A = B = C = 0 then Y = \(\bar{0}\) = 1.

If A = B = C =1 then Y = \(\bar{1}\) = 0.

This can be shown by the truth table given below.

Question 9. The output Y in the logic circuit shown in the figure will be

1. \(Y=\bar{A} \cdot \bar{B}\)
2. \(Y=\overline{A \cdot B}\)
3. Y = A.B
4. Y = \(Y=\overline{A+B}\)

Answer: 3. Y = A.B

In the given circuit, G₁ is a NAND gate and G₂ acts as a NOT gate.

⇒ \(Y^{\prime}=\overline{A \cdot B}\)

and \(Y=\overline{Y^{\prime}}=\overline{\overline{A \cdot B}}=A \cdot B\) → (1)

Now, (1) is the Boolean expression for an AND gate.

Question 10. In the given circuit, the values of the output Y for all possible inputs A and B are expressed by the truth table

Answer: 4.

In the given diagram, G₁ represents a NOR gate and G₂ is effectively NOT gate.

Question 11. The diagram shown in the adjoining figure performs the logic operation of a/an

1. OR gate
2. AND gate
3. XOR gate
4. NAND gate

Answer: 2. AND gate

Gx is a NAND gate whose output is \(Y^{\prime}=\overline{A \cdot B}\).

A NAND gate with one input is equivalent to a NOT gate. Thus, the final output is \(Y=\overline{Y^{\prime}}=\overline{\overline{A \cdot B}}\) = A.B, which is the Boolean expression for an AND gate.

Thus, the given combination of gates performs the logic operation of an AND gate.
