XY AND.
X+Z OR.

X (X+Z) AND.
Y (X+Z) AND.

XY+X (X+Z)+Y (X+Z) ONE OR.

The sum is 5.

Answer is D as they want before simplification. Nidhya solved it after simplification.

The sixth gate could be the OR gate for adding the individual terms of the expression.

5 gates only I didn't see properly its not x+z it was X(X+Z). So, 5 gates is answer.

@All.

The Answer is 2 if you have simplified with boolean algebra down to x+ yz.
(5)

The answer is 5, first it become xy+(x+y)(y+z)

It need 2 and gate and 3 or gate.

Without simplification also gates will do. x+z gate can be used twice.

Using K-map ,you get X+Y+Z, giving 2 gates. So answer is B
