The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

The circuit diagram represents a NAND gate. Let’s analyze the behavior of the circuit:

  1. When both switches \( A \) and \( B \) are closed (ON state), the output is 0 (the bulb does not glow) because the current flows directly to the ground.
  2. In all other cases, the bulb glows, corresponding to an output of 1.

This behavior matches the truth table of a NAND gate:

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline A & B & Y = \overline{A \cdot B} \\ \hline 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array} \]

Thus, the circuit corresponds to the logic of a NAND gate, with the output given by:

\[ Y = \overline{A \cdot B} \]

Concepts Used:

Logic Gates

AND Gate

It is the gate, where a circuit performs an AND operation. It has n number of input where (n >= 2) and one output.

OR Gate

It is the gate, where a circuit performs an OR operation. It has n number of input where (n >= 2) and one output.

NOT Gate

An inverter is also called NOT Gate. It has one input and one output where the input is A and the output is Y.

NAND Gate

A NAND operation is also called a NOT-AND operation. It has n number of input where (n >= 2) and one output.

NOR Gate

A NOR operation is also called a NOT-OR operation. It has n number of input where (n >= 2) and one output.

XOR Gate

XOR or Ex-OR gate is a specific type of gate that can be used in the half adder, full adder, and subtractor. 

XNOR Gate

XNOR gate is a specific type of gate, which can be used in the half adder, full adder, and subtractor. The exclusive-NOR gate is flattened as an EX-NOR gate or sometimes as an X-NOR gate. It has n number of input (n >= 2) and one output.
