A logic circuit provides the output Y as per the following truth table:
ABY
001
010
101
110

The expression for the output Y is

Asked in NEET 2024 · Gate combinations and truth tables

Answer: (3) B

Step-by-step solution

Idea: look first at whether the output changes when only one input changes.

Comparing the rows 00 and 10, A has changed while Y has not; the same holds for 01 and 11.

So Y does not depend on A at all, and every expression containing A can be set aside.

What remains is the relation between B and Y: B=0 gives Y=1 and B=1 gives Y=0.

That is Y=B.
