JEE Main 2022 · 28 Jun · Shift 1, Physics question 46

In the following circuit, the correct relation between output (Y) and inputs A and B will be :

Inputs A and B each feed a diode (D1, D2, cathodes towards the inputs) joined at node X, which is pulled to +10 V through R; X drives the base of an npn transistor through a resistor. The collector is tied to +5 V through R_C and is the output Y; the emitter is grounded.
Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: C

Diode stage. With cathodes at the inputs and X pulled up, X is high only if both A and B are high: AND.

Transistor stage. A common-emitter switch inverts.

So Y=AB‾Y=\overline{AB} (NAND).

(C)
