Q63 / 75 · JEE Main 2026 (04 April Shift 1) · Physics
Two $4$ bits binary numbers, $A = 1101$ and $B = 1010$ are given in the inputs of a logic circuit shown in figure below. The output $(Y)$ will be:


- Correct answerA$Y = 1101$
- B$Y = 0010$
- C$Y = 0111$
- D$Y = 1000$
Solution
From the given logic circuit, the input $A$ passes through a NOT gate, giving $\overline{A}$.
This output $\overline{A}$ and the input $B$ are then fed into a NAND gate.
The Boolean expression for the final output $Y$ is:
$Y = \overline{\overline{A} \cdot B}$
Given the $4$-bit binary inputs:
$A = 1101$
$B = 1010$
First, find the bitwise NOT of $A$:
$\overline{A} = \overline{1101} = 0010$
Next, find the bitwise AND of $\overline{A}$ and $B$:
$\overline{A} \cdot B = 0010 \cdot 1010 = 0010$
Finally, apply the NOT operation for the NAND gate:
$Y = \overline{0010} = 1101$
Alternatively, using De Morgan's laws:
$Y = \overline{\overline{A} \cdot B} = A + \overline{B}$
$Y = 1101 + \overline{1010} = 1101 + 0101 = 1101$
Therefore, the output $Y$ is $1101$.
Answer: $Y = 1101$
This output $\overline{A}$ and the input $B$ are then fed into a NAND gate.
The Boolean expression for the final output $Y$ is:
$Y = \overline{\overline{A} \cdot B}$
Given the $4$-bit binary inputs:
$A = 1101$
$B = 1010$
First, find the bitwise NOT of $A$:
$\overline{A} = \overline{1101} = 0010$
Next, find the bitwise AND of $\overline{A}$ and $B$:
$\overline{A} \cdot B = 0010 \cdot 1010 = 0010$
Finally, apply the NOT operation for the NAND gate:
$Y = \overline{0010} = 1101$
Alternatively, using De Morgan's laws:
$Y = \overline{\overline{A} \cdot B} = A + \overline{B}$
$Y = 1101 + \overline{1010} = 1101 + 0101 = 1101$
Therefore, the output $Y$ is $1101$.
Answer: $Y = 1101$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
