Identify the correct truth table of the given logic circuit. [Figure: A feeds an AND gate with both inputs tied. A and B also feed a NAND gate, whose output feeds another AND gate with both inputs tied. The two tied-AND outputs feed a final AND gate giving Y. Options list Y for AB=00,01,10,11: (a) 0, 0, 1, 0; (b) 0, 1, 1, 0; (c) 1, 0, 1, 0; (d) 1, 1, 1, 0.]

Asked in JEE Main 24th Jan 2nd Shift 2026 · Gate combinations and truth tables

Figure: Gate combinations and truth tables
Answer: (1) 0, 0, 1, 0

Step-by-step solution

An AND gate with tied inputs just passes its input on.

Upper branch: A. Lower branch: AB.

Y=A·AB=A(A+B)=AB

Y=1 only for A=1,B=0: 0,0,1,0.

Why the other options are wrong
