Correct answer: B

To identify the two logic gates, we use the standard diode-resistor transistor logic behavior.

1. Gate (A)

In circuit (A), the arrangement is the usual diode logic OR gate:

  • If either VA=5 VV_A=5\,\text{V}VA​=5V or VB=5 VV_B=5\,\text{V}VB​=5V, the corresponding diode becomes forward biased.
  • Then the output node rises to high voltage, so V0≈5 VV_0 \approx 5\,\text{V}V0​≈5V.
  • Only when both inputs are 0 V0\,\text{V}0V do both diodes remain off, and the output stays low.

Thus the truth table is:

VAVBV0000055505555\begin{array}{c c|c} V_A & V_B & V_0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 5 & 5 \\ 5 & 0 & 5 \\ 5 & 5 & 5 \end{array}VA​0055​VB​0505​V0​0555​

This is an OR gate.


2. Gate (B)

In circuit (B), the transistor is used in the common-emitter switching mode:

  • If input is high (5 V5\,\text{V}5V), transistor turns ON.
  • Then collector voltage falls close to 0 V0\,\text{V}0V, so output is low.
  • If input is low (0 V0\,\text{V}0V), transistor is OFF.
  • Then the collector resistor pulls the output up to 5 V5\,\text{V}5V.

So the output is opposite to the input:

InputV00550\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Input} & V_0 \\ 0 & 5 \\ 5 & 0 \end{array}Input05​V0​50​

This is a NOT gate.


3. Final identification

  • Circuit (A): OR gate
  • Circuit (B): NOT gate

Therefore, the correct option is:

B: OR and NOT Gate\boxed{\text{B: OR and NOT Gate}}B: OR and NOT Gate​


4. Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer: B

My derived answer: B

They match.
