In the digital circuit shown in the figure, for the given inputs the P and Q values are :
(A)P=1,Q=1
(B)P=0,Q=0✓ Correct
(C)P=0,Q=1
(D)P=1,Q=0
Answer: (B)
Solution
Both inputs are 1. The first gate is a NAND, and NAND(1,1)=0; this 0 is fed to the AND gate whose output is P, so P=0 regardless of its other input. Each input line is also inverted to 0 and fed to the lower NOR gate, giving NOR(0,0)=1; this 1 reaches the final NOR gate that produces Q, and a NOR gate with any input equal to 1 gives output 0, so Q=0. The outputs are P=0 and Q=0.
