Identify the correct logic gate for the following output (Y) of two inputs A and B. [Figure: seven equal intervals. A: 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1. B: 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0. Output Y: 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1. Options: (a) OR gate followed by NOT; (b) AND gate followed by NOT; (c) OR gate followed by NOT; (d) AND gate with B inverted at its input.]

Figure: Waveforms, switches and diode gates
Answer: (2) AND followed by NOT

Step-by-step solution

Y=0 only in interval 4, the only one where A=B=1.

Output 0 only for both inputs 1 is NAND, i.e. AND followed by NOT.

Why the other options are wrong
