Topics & Concepts

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the combination of inputs (A,B,C)(A, B, C) that will cause both LED-1 and LED-2 to glow, we analyze the circuit stage-by-stage:

1. Identify the Logic Gates in the Circuit

  • Gate 1 (Leftmost): An OR gate with inputs AA and BB.

    • Output of Gate 1: Y1=A+BY_1 = A + B
    • LED-1 is connected to the output of Gate 1. Therefore, for LED-1 to glow, we require: Y1=1    A+B=1Y_1 = 1 \implies A + B = 1
  • Gate 2 (Middle): An AND gate with inputs Y1Y_1 and CC.

    • Output of Gate 2: Y2=Y1C=(A+B)CY_2 = Y_1 \cdot C = (A + B) \cdot C
  • Gate 3 (Rightmost): An AND gate with inputs AA and Y2Y_2.

    • Output of Gate 3: Y3=AY2=A(A+B)CY_3 = A \cdot Y_2 = A \cdot (A + B) \cdot C
    • LED-2 is connected to the output of Gate 3. Therefore, for LED-2 to glow, we require: Y3=1    A(A+B)C=1Y_3 = 1 \implies A \cdot (A + B) \cdot C = 1

2. Condition for Both LEDs to Glow

For both LED-1 and LED-2 to glow simultaneously, we must have Y1=1Y_1 = 1 and Y3=1Y_3 = 1:

  1. Since Y3=AY2=1Y_3 = A \cdot Y_2 = 1, all inputs to Gate 3 must be HIGH (11): A=1andY2=1A = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad Y_2 = 1

  2. Since Y2=Y1C=1Y_2 = Y_1 \cdot C = 1, all inputs to Gate 2 must be HIGH (11): Y1=1andC=1Y_1 = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad C = 1

  3. Combining these conditions, we must have: A=1andC=1A = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad C = 1


3. Verification of the Given Options

  • Option A (A=0,B=1,C=1A = 0, B = 1, C = 1):

    • Y3=0(0+1)1=0    Y_3 = 0 \cdot (0 + 1) \cdot 1 = 0 \implies LED-2 does not glow.
  • Option B (A=1,B=0,C=0A = 1, B = 0, C = 0):

    • Y3=1(1+0)0=0    Y_3 = 1 \cdot (1 + 0) \cdot 0 = 0 \implies LED-2 does not glow.
  • Option C (A=1,B=0,C=1A = 1, B = 0, C = 1):

    • Y1=1+0=1    Y_1 = 1 + 0 = 1 \implies LED-1 glows.
    • Y2=11=1Y_2 = 1 \cdot 1 = 1
    • Y3=11=1    Y_3 = 1 \cdot 1 = 1 \implies LED-2 glows.
  • Option D (A=1,B=1,C=0A = 1, B = 1, C = 0):

    • Y3=1(1+1)0=0    Y_3 = 1 \cdot (1 + 1) \cdot 0 = 0 \implies LED-2 does not glow.

Thus, the correct combination of inputs is A=1,B=0,C=1A = 1, B = 0, C = 1.
