The minimum number of NAND gates required to implement Boolean function f = x′y + xy′ is
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (B) 4
Explanation
x′y + xy′ is XOR, and XOR needs at least 4 NAND gates. One NAND makes (xy)′, two NANDs combine it with x and with y, and a fourth NAND joins their outputs.
