The output Y of the given logic circuit is
Figure

  • A
    $\overline{(A \cdot B)} + \overline{(C \cdot B)}$
  • B
    $\overline{(A + B)} \cdot \overline{(B \cdot C)}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\overline{(A \cdot B)} + \overline{(B + C)}$
  • D
    $(A + B) + (B + C)$

Solution

The given logic circuit consists of three gates.

The upper gate is a NAND gate with inputs $A$ and $B$. Its output is $\overline{A \cdot B}$.

The lower gate is a NOR gate with inputs $B$ and $C$. Its output is $\overline{B + C}$.

The final gate is an OR gate which takes the outputs of the NAND and NOR gates as its inputs.

Therefore, the final output $Y$ is given by the logical OR operation of these two intermediate outputs:

$Y = \overline{A \cdot B} + \overline{B + C}$

Answer: $\overline{(A \cdot B)} + \overline{(B + C)}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
