Solution
In both the given circuits, A and B are the inputs and Y is the output.
a) The output of the left NAND gate will be `bar("A"."B")`, as shown in the following figure.
Hence, the output of the combination of the two NAND gates is given as:
`"Y" = bar((bar("A.B")).(bar("A.B")))= bar(bar("AB")) + bar(bar("AB")) = "AB"`
Hence, this circuit functions as an AND gate.
(b) `bar"A"` is the output of the upper left of the NAND gate and `bar"B"` is the output of the lower half of the NAND gate, as shown in the following figure.
Hence, the output of the combination of the NAND gates will be given as:
`"Y" = bar"A".bar"B" = bar(bar"A") + bar(bar"B") = "A"+"B"`
Hence, this circuit functions as an OR gate.
