Logic Gates

Which of the following gives a reversible operation?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. A reversible gate lets the input be found uniquely from the output, so it needs a one-to-one input–output map.
  2. Two-input NOR, OR and NAND give the same output for several input combinations, so the input cannot be recovered.
  3. A NOR gate with both inputs joined is a NOT gate: 0→10 \to 1, 1→01 \to 0, which is one-to-one.
  4. So the answer is (b).
