A logic circuit gives a LOW output when both inputs are HIGH or both inputs are LOW. Which gate has this behavior?

Answer: C. XORKey idea: The output is LOW when the two inputs are the same. Inputs 0 and 0 → output 0 Inputs 1 and 1 → output 0 Inputs 0 and 1, or 1 and 0 → output 1 This…

Correct answer: C

Key idea: The output is LOW when the two inputs are the same.

  • Inputs 0 and 0 → output 0

  • Inputs 1 and 1 → output 0

  • Inputs 0 and 1, or 1 and 0 → output 1

This is exactly the behavior of an XOR gate: XOR outputs HIGH only when the two inputs are different.
