  1. Output Y of the circuit shown in the figure is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum


    Y = (A + B)C. DE.
    = (A + B) C + DE

    Correct Option: A


    Y = (A + B)C. DE.
    = (A + B) C + DE

    In terms of Boolean operations
    Output of 1 is x0 x1
    Output of 2 is (x0 x1 + x2)
    Output of 3 is (x0 x1 + x2) x3 = x0 x1 x3 + x2 x3
    Output of 4 is x0 x1 x3 + x2 x3 + x4
    Output of 5 would be x0 x1 x3 x5 + x2 x3 x5 + x4 x5
    Output of 6 would be x0 x1 x3 x5 + x2 x3 x5 + x4 x5 x6
    Thus for n gates connected as shown, the output would be

    x0 x1 x3 ...................... xn– 1
    + x2 x3 x5 ...................... xn– 1
    + x4 x5 x7 ...................... xn– 1
    + xh – 2 xn– 1
    + xn .

    Correct Option: D

    In terms of Boolean operations
    Output of 1 is x0 x1
    Output of 2 is (x0 x1 + x2)
    Output of 3 is (x0 x1 + x2) x3 = x0 x1 x3 + x2 x3
    Output of 4 is x0 x1 x3 + x2 x3 + x4
    Output of 5 would be x0 x1 x3 x5 + x2 x3 x5 + x4 x5
    Output of 6 would be x0 x1 x3 x5 + x2 x3 x5 + x4 x5 x6
    Thus for n gates connected as shown, the output would be

    x0 x1 x3 ...................... xn– 1
    + x2 x3 x5 ...................... xn– 1
    + x4 x5 x7 ...................... xn– 1

    Carry look ahead adder is after since the carry is generated in parallel at all stages of addition rather than sequentially as in ripple adders.

    Correct Option: A

    The gates are XNOR
    F = (A ⊕ B) ⊕ (A ⊕ B) = (AB + AB) ⊕ (AB + AB)
    = (AB + AB) ⊕ (A B + AB)
    = (AB + AB) ⊕ (AB + AB)
    = 0

    Correct Option: A

    The gates are XNOR
    F = (A ⊕ B) ⊕ (A ⊕ B) = (AB + AB) ⊕ (AB + AB)
    = (AB + AB) ⊕ (A B + AB)
    = (AB + AB) ⊕ (AB + AB)
    = 0

    When either A or B or both are at zero potential, current flows through R, thereby bringing the potential of C to zero level, Thus logic output is zero. When both of them are at 5V no current can flow and voltage of C stays at – 5V, i.e. logic output of 1.

    Thus it is AND gate.
