CBSEENPH12047839

The truth table given below is for (A and B are the inputs, Y is the output)

A B Y
0 0 1
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0

  • NOR

  • AND

  • XOR

  • NAND

Solution

D.

NAND

The NAND gate is an AND gate followed by a NOT gate. If inputs A and B are both '1' the output Y is not '1'. The gate gets its name from this NOT AND behaviour.

This is a logical symbol.

The output Y is a combination of AND + NOT gate. Hence, the truth table is for NAND gate.
