Solution
(a) A acts as the two inputs of the NOR gate and Y is the output, as shown in the following figure. Hence, the output of the circuit is `bar(A+A)`.
The truth table for the same is given as:
| A | Y`(=bar"A")` |
| 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 |
This is the truth table of a NOT gate. Hence, this circuit functions as a NOT gate.
(b) A and B are the inputs and Y is the output of the given circuit. By using the result obtained in solution (a), we can infer that the outputs of the first two NOR gates are `barA` and `barB` as shown in the following figure.
`bar"A" and bar "B"` are the inputs for the last NOR gate. Hence, the output for the circuit can be written as:
`"Y" = bar(bar"A" + bar"B") = bar(bar"A") . bar(bar"B") = "A.B"`
The truth table for the same can be written as:
| A | B | Y (=A⋅B) |
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 |
This is the truth table of an AND gate. Hence, this circuit functions as an AND gate.
