Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the output YY of the given logic circuit, let us analyze the operation of each gate in the circuit step-by-step:

  1. NOT Gate: The input AA passes through a NOT gate, giving the output Aˉ\bar{A}.

  2. Upper OR Gate: The upper OR gate receives two inputs:

    • Upper input: Aˉ\bar{A} (output of the NOT gate)
    • Lower input: BB

    Therefore, the output of the upper OR gate, denoted as UU, is: U=Aˉ+BU = \bar{A} + B

  3. Lower AND Gate: Let the output of the lower AND gate be LL.

  4. Final NOR Gate: The rightmost gate is a NOR gate that receives UU and LL as inputs. The final output YY is given by: Y=U+LY = \overline{U + L}


Step-by-Step Evaluation for the Given Input Pairs:

Case 1: Inputs A=1A = 1 and B=1B = 1

  1. Aˉ=1ˉ=0\bar{A} = \bar{1} = 0
  2. U=Aˉ+B=0+1=1U = \bar{A} + B = 0 + 1 = 1
  3. Substituting U=1U = 1 into the final output expression: Y=1+L=1ˉ=0Y = \overline{1 + L} = \bar{1} = 0

Case 2: Inputs A=0A = 0 and B=1B = 1

  1. Aˉ=0ˉ=1\bar{A} = \bar{0} = 1
  2. U=Aˉ+B=1+1=1U = \bar{A} + B = 1 + 1 = 1
  3. Substituting U=1U = 1 into the final output expression: Y=1+L=1ˉ=0Y = \overline{1 + L} = \bar{1} = 0

Conclusion:

For the given input pairs (A=1,B=1)(A = 1, B = 1) and (A=0,B=1)(A = 0, B = 1), the output YY will be 0,00, 0 respectively.

Correct Option: C
