The given circuit works as :
Logic Gates diagram for Q42 - JEE Main 2026 Morning
Circuit containing multiple interconnected logic gates leading to a final output.

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula De Morgan's Laws: overlineA + overlineB = overlineA cdot B overlineoverlineA = A ### Core Logic Analyzing the circuit diagram:
Logic Gates solution diagram for Q42 - JEE Main 2026 Morning
Circuit containing multiple interconnected logic gates leading to a final output.
- Top branch has a NOT gate on A, so P = overlineA - Bottom branch has a NOT gate on B, so Q = overlineB - They enter a NOR gate, giving output R = overlineoverlineA + overlineB - Finally, R passes through a NOT gate to give S = overlineR ### Step 1: Boolean Simplification R = overlineoverlineA + overlineB = overlineoverlineAB = AB S = overlineR = overlineAB The expression overlineAB is the Boolean expression for a NAND gate. ### Pattern Recognition Two NOTs feeding into a NOR equals an AND gate (AB). Adding a final NOT gate turns the AND into a NAND. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Semiconductor Electronics
