Math Problem Statement

In the Logic circuit shown, A=0, B=1, and C=1. If the binary outputs X and Y are the 1st and 2nd digits of a two-bit number 'XY,' what is that number in decimal form?

Solution

To solve the logic circuit problem:

Step 1: Analyze the circuit

The circuit consists of:

  • Inputs: A = 0, B = 1, C = 1.
  • Logic gates: A NOT gate, an OR gate, and an AND gate.
  • Outputs: X (output of OR gate) and Y (output of AND gate).

Step 2: Solve for intermediate and output values

  1. NOT Gate Output (inverts A):

    • Input: A=0A = 0
    • Output: NOT A=1\text{NOT A} = 1
  2. OR Gate Input and Output:

    • Inputs: NOT A=1\text{NOT A} = 1, B=1B = 1
    • Output: X=NOT AB=11=1X = \text{NOT A} \lor B = 1 \lor 1 = 1
  3. AND Gate Input and Output:

    • Inputs: C=1C = 1, B=1B = 1
    • Output: Y=CB=11=1Y = C \land B = 1 \land 1 = 1

Step 3: Combine outputs into binary number

The outputs XX and YY represent the binary number XY=11XY = 11 (where XX is the first bit and YY is the second bit).

Step 4: Convert binary to decimal

Binary 1111 equals decimal 33.

Final Answer:

The decimal equivalent of the binary number XYXY is: 3

Would you like me to explain the circuit's functionality further or clarify the logic gate operations?

Here are 5 related questions to explore:

  1. How does each type of logic gate (AND, OR, NOT) function?
  2. What is the truth table for the given logic circuit?
  3. How do binary numbers convert into decimal form?
  4. How would the output change if input AA were 11?
  5. Can this circuit be simplified further?

Tip: Always create a truth table for such problems to systematically analyze all possible outputs.
