The circuit in the given figure is
positive logic XOR gate
negative logic OR gate
negative logic AND gate
positive logic AND gate
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since V(I) is lower state than V(0) it is a negative logic circuit. Since diodes are in reversed parallel, it is an AND gate.

Note: In Boolean algebra it is recognized that a positive logic OR is a negative logic AND. Similarly a positive logic AND is a negative logic OR.

But if the single diode is forward biased then we are getting the output.

i.e. It's an OR gate and the input is a negative(0).
We know that for OR gate if one input is 1 then the output is 1.
So, the answer is -ve logic OR gate.

It is neg logic or gate as the diode is reverse biased it follows the following table:

0 0 = 0 (as the current flows to both of the diode the v0 output is zero)
0 1 = 0
1 0 = 0
1 1 = 1
it is pos logic and gate.
so it is neg logic or.

Why are you confused friends?

The right answer is negative logic AND gate because diode is reversed.

It is only positive logic AND gate.

@Lavanya.

The pulse is low to high so this is negative and the diodes are reversed. So this is negative logic AND gate. Suppose the diodes are forward this logic is negative logic OR gate.

Which is the correct answer and how? Please explain it clearly.

Since V(1) is lower state than V(0) it is a negative logic circuit. Since diodes are in parallel, it is an OR gate.

Positive logic AND, Negative logic OR both.

It should be a Negative logic AND gate.

It is -ve logic OR gate and it is also +ve logic AND gate.
