Given, \$A\$ and \$B\$ are inputs and \$C\$ is output.Assume that some voltage is applied across \$AB,\$If the voltage is positive, then diode corresponding to \$A\$ will be on and the other diode will be off\$\Rightarrow C=A\$If the voltage is negative then diode corresponding to \$B\$ will be on and the other diode will be off\$\Rightarrow C=B\$Therefore we can say that \$C=A or B\$Therefore it acts like \$OR\$ gate.So the correct option is \$D.\$

Question 1

Write the logic symbol and truth table of NAND gate.

Accepted Answer

In digital electronics, a NAND gate which is a negative-AND gate, is a logic gate which produces an output which is false only if all its inputs are true. Thus its output is complement to that of the AND gate.

Question 2

How will you obtain OR, AND gates from the NAND and NOR gates? Write symbol, Boolean formula and truth table.

Accepted Answer

(i) To obtain AND gates from NAND gates: For obtaining AND gate from NAND gate the output of NAND gate is connected to the input (obtained from NAND gate by joining the two inputs).For obtaining OR gate from NAND gate the inputs $A$ and $B$ are connected to the two NOT gates obtained from NAND gates. The input get inverted as $\overline { A }$ and $ \overline { B }$. These inputs are then fed to the NAND gate as shown in fig. drawn below.Boolean formual: $y=\overline { y } =\overline { \overline { A\cdot B }  } =A\cdot B$Input  OutputA B y y01  01 0  0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0  1(ii) To obtain OR gate from NAND gate: For obtaining OR gate from NAND gate the input $A$ and $B$ are connected to the two NOT gates obtained from NAND gates.
