ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

Consider the logic circuit.

                                                   

(a) The output of the OR gate will be

                                                               O1 = R + P’

The output of the OR gate is  Q.

                                                             Q = R + P’…………(1)

According to the diagram, P = Q’.

So,

                                                               Q = R + (Q’)’

                                                               Q = R + Q

This condition is possible when  R= 0.

So, It’s true if R = 0.

The output of the AND gate will be H·Q.
