Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

A half adder circuit adds two single-bit binary numbers. I

A Half Adder circuit is built using one XOR gate and one AND gate.

  • The XOR gate gives the Sum output.

  • The AND gate gives the Carry output.

The Boolean expressions are:

S = A ⊕ B
C = A · B

Truth Table:
