Answer is B.

X+YZ is the solved result of the equation so 1 AND & 1 OR. Total 2 Gates are required. @Sukriti is right. Thank you.

For XY 1 AND gate x+z 1OR gate x (x+z) 1 and gate, why (x+z) 1and gate xy+x (x+z) +y (x+z) 1 3 input or gate.

Total 5 gates.

P:xy - 2 input AND.
Q:x+z - 2 input OR.
R:xQ - 2 input AND.
S:yQ - 2 input AND.

P+R+S - 3 input OR.

Total logic gates 5.

Answer is E(5).

XY=1 AND gate,
(X+Z)= OR gate,
X.(X+Z)= AND gate,
Y.(X+Z)= AND gate,
XY+X(X+Z)+Y(X+Z)= the last OR gate.

Answer is 2.

XY+ X (X+Z) + Y (X+Z),
XY + X + XZ + XY + YZ,
(XY + X + XZ + XY) + YZ,
X (Y + 1 + Z + Y) + YZ,
X + YZ.

X.Y = AND GATE

X+Z = OR GATE

X(X+Z) = AND GATE

Y(X+Z) = AND GATE

X.Y+X(X+Z)+Y(X+Z) = OR GATE

5 GATES REQUIRED

Answer B is right. Because of after solving an expression, we got X+YZ so 2 gates required.

@Sukriti is right.

XY + X + XZ + YX + YZ.
X(1 + Y + Z + Y) + YZ.
X.1 + YZ.

So, one AND gate & one OR gate are required.

Assume that three input OR gate is used for ORing each operation so total 5 gates are required.

BONDs said:   1 decade ago
Shouldn't it be 6.
Because,

1. X+Z (let's say Q).
2. XY.
3. XQ.
4. YQ.

5 and 6. 2+3+4.
