JEE Main 2025 Jan 22 Shift 2, Physics Q13: Logic Gates

JEE Main2025Jan 22, Shift 2Physics
Q.

To obtain the given truth table, following logic gate should be placed at G :

ABY
001
010
100
111
  1. A

    NOR Gate

  2. B

    AND Gate

  3. C

    NAND Gate

  4. D

    OR Gate

Solution

$ \text{Output of the upper AND gate}=A\overline{B} $

$ \text{Output of the lower AND gate}=\overline{A}B $

$ \therefore\text{ Inputs to gate }G\text{ are }A\overline{B}\text{ and }\overline{A}B. $

$ \text{Now, check the four given options.} $

Gate at G Output Truth Table (00,01,10,11) Matches?
OR $ A\overline{B}+\overline{A}B $ $ 0,\;1,\;1,\;0 $ No
AND $ (A\overline{B})(\overline{A}B) $ $ 0,\;0,\;0,\;0 $ No
NAND $ \overline{(A\overline{B})(\overline{A}B)} $ $ 1,\;1,\;1,\;1 $ No
NOR $ \overline{A\overline{B}+\overline{A}B} $ $ 1,\;0,\;0,\;1 $ Yes

$ \text{The required truth table is }(1,\;0,\;0,\;1), $

$ \therefore\boxed{\text{The logic gate at }G\text{ is NOR Gate.}} $
