  1. The minimum number of NAND gates required to implement A + AB + ABC is equal to









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    ƒ = A + A B + A B C
    = A + A B = A
    Hence, number of NAND gates required is 0.

    Correct Option: A

    ƒ = A + A B + A B C
    = A + A B = A
    Hence, number of NAND gates required is 0.


  1. Output of the circuit shown in the figure is equal to

    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



  1. A carry look ahead adder is frequently used for addition because it

    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

    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.

    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
    + xh – 2 xn– 1
    + xn .
