10
(a) Question 10 (a) requires you to fill in the truth table for a NOR gate. Remember that a NOR gate is essentially the opposite of an or gate. X will only be 1 if Neither of the inputs are 1 and both of them are not 1.

(b) Question 10 (b) asks you to write a logic statement for the given diagram
For this question 1 mark would be awarded for each correct part of the answer.
Answer
The whole answer should look something like this:
X = (A AND B) AND (C OR NOT B)
1 mark for each of the following sections
(A AND B) = 1 mark
AND = 1 mark
(C OR NOT B) = 1 mark
For this question 1 mark would be awarded for each correct part of the answer.

Answer
(b) Question 5 (b) asks for you to draw an XOR gate and then explain the function of it. When drawing gates remember to take your time and make sure that it is clear, you do not want the examiner to get confused by what gate you are trying to draw!
