B Produces output 1 only when ALL inputs are 1
C Inverts the input signal
D Produces output 0 only when all inputs are 1
8
What is the Boolean expression for an AND gate with inputs A and B?
Easy 1 Mark
AND uses the multiplication dot symbol.
A A + B
B A - B
C A · B
D A xor B
9
For an AND gate with inputs A=1 and B=0 what is the output?
Easy 1 Mark
Remember: AND needs ALL inputs to be 1.
A 1
B 0
C Undefined
D Depends on voltage
10
For an AND gate with inputs A=1 and B=1 what is the output?
Easy 1 Mark
AND gate is like logical multiplication: 1×1=1.
A 0
B Undefined
C 1
D 2
11
How many combinations in the truth table of an AND gate with 2 inputs produce output 1?
Medium 2 Marks
AND gate is very restrictive — only one row gives output 1.
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
12
A security system grants access only when BOTH a password and fingerprint are verified. Which gate models this?
Medium 2 Marks
Which gate requires ALL conditions to be satisfied?
A OR gate
B NOT gate
C AND gate
D NAND gate
13
What does an OR gate produce?
Easy 1 Mark
OR is satisfied by ANY one true input.
A Output 1 only when all inputs are 1
B Output 1 if at least one input is 1
C Always output 0
D The opposite of the input
14
What is the Boolean expression for an OR gate with inputs A and B?
Easy 1 Mark
OR uses the plus symbol representing logical addition.
A A · B
B A - B
C A + B
D A xor B
15
For an OR gate with inputs A=0 and B=0 what is the output?
Easy 1 Mark
OR produces 0 only when every input is 0.
A 1
B 0
C Undefined
D Both 0 and 1
16
For an OR gate with A=1 and B=0 what is the output?
Easy 1 Mark
OR needs only one input to be 1.
A 0
B 1
C Undefined
D Depends on power supply
17
An alarm activates if EITHER a door sensor OR a window sensor detects movement. Which gate models this?
Easy 1 Mark
Which gate is satisfied when any single input is true?
A AND gate
B NOT gate
C OR gate
D NAND gate
18
How many rows in the truth table of a 2-input OR gate produce output 0?
Medium 2 Marks
OR gives 0 only when every input is 0 — how many ways can that happen with 2 inputs?
A 0
B 1
C 2
D 3
19
How many inputs does a NOT gate have?
Easy 1 Mark
NOT gate is the simplest gate — it only needs to invert one signal.
A Two inputs
B Three inputs
C One input
D Four inputs
20
What is the Boolean expression for a NOT gate with input A?
Easy 1 Mark

A A · B
B A + B
C A xor B
D A prime (A)
