In which of the logic gate the following statement is true? "The output is high when either of the inputs is high but not if both inputs are high"
- ANAND
- BNOR
- Correct answerCX-OR
- DOR
Solution
The given statement states that the output is high ($1$) when either of the inputs is high ($1$), but the output is low ($0$) if both inputs are high ($1$).
This corresponds to the following truth table:
$A = 0, B = 0 \Rightarrow Y = 0$
$A = 1, B = 0 \Rightarrow Y = 1$
$A = 0, B = 1 \Rightarrow Y = 1$
$A = 1, B = 1 \Rightarrow Y = 0$
This is the characteristic truth table of an Exclusive-OR (X-OR) gate.
Answer: X-OR
This corresponds to the following truth table:
$A = 0, B = 0 \Rightarrow Y = 0$
$A = 1, B = 0 \Rightarrow Y = 1$
$A = 0, B = 1 \Rightarrow Y = 1$
$A = 1, B = 1 \Rightarrow Y = 0$
This is the characteristic truth table of an Exclusive-OR (X-OR) gate.
Answer: X-OR
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
