Logic gates required to built up a half adder circuit are :

  • A.EX-OR gate and NOR gate
  • B.EX-OR gate and AND gate
  • C.EX-OR gate and OR gate
  • D.EX-NOR gate and NAND gate

Answer: B

A half adder needs an EX-OR gate and AND gate.

A half adder adds two bits A and B. The sum bit is 1 when exactly one input is 1, which is A ⊕ B (EX-OR), and the carry bit is 1 only when both are 1, which is A · B (AND).

An OR gate would give a carry when either input is 1, which is wrong, and NOR or the EX-NOR and NAND pair produce the complements of the needed outputs.
