Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct Answer: XOR / एक्स-ऑर Explanation: The circuit implements the exclusive OR (XOR) function. It produces output 1 when the two inputs are different (one is 1 and the other is 0). Top AND gate: receives X and NOT Y, so it is 1 when X = 1 and Y = 0.
Bottom AND gate: receives NOT X and Y, so it is 1 when X = 0 and Y = 1.
OR gate: combines the two AND outputs, giving 1 when either of the above conditions is true. This is exactly the XOR behavior.
Truth table summary: X = 0, Y = 0
