Solution :

To find the correct truth table for the given logic circuit, we analyze the output of each gate step-by-step.

1. Analyzing the Circuit Structure:
The circuit has two inputs: A (top input) and B (bottom input).
- The top gate has both of its inputs tied together to input A. A NAND/NOR gate with tied inputs acts as a NOT gate. Therefore, the output of the top gate, which we will call X1, is:

X1=A¯

- The bottom-left gate is a NAND gate with inputs A and B. Its output, which we will call X2, is:

X2=A·B¯

- The bottom-right gate is another NOT gate (a NAND gate with tied inputs) receiving input from X2. Its output, which we will call X3, is:

X3=X2¯=A·B

- The final output gate acts as a NOR gate, taking inputs X1 and X3. The final output Y is:

Y=X1+X3¯=A¯+(A·B)¯

2. Simplifying the Boolean Expression:
Using De Morgan's Law P+Q¯=P¯·Q¯:

Y=A¯¯·A·B¯

Since the double negation A¯¯=A, and applying De Morgan's Law again to the second term:

Y=A·(A¯+B¯)

Distributing A:

Y=(A·A¯)+(A·B¯)

Since A·A¯=0, the expression simplifies to:

Y=A·B¯

This indicates that the output Y is 1 only when A is 1 and B is 0.

3. Constructing the Truth Table:
Let us evaluate all input combinations using the simplified Boolean expression Y=A·B¯: - For A = 0, B = 0: Y=0·0¯=0·1=0 - For A = 0, B = 1: Y=0·1¯=0·0=0 - For A = 1, B = 0: Y=1·0¯=1·1=1 - For A = 1, B = 1: Y=1·1¯=1·0=0

Thus, the correct truth table is:
A   B   Y
0   0   0
0   1   0
1   0   1
1   1   0
