The logic gate for which the output goes 'HIGH' or '1' only when an odd number of 'HIGH' or '1' are at its input, is

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The truth table for a two-input Ex-OR (Exclusive-OR) gate is as follows:
Input A = , Input B = Output =
Input A = , Input B = Output =
Input A = , Input B = Output =
Input A = , Input B = Output =

The output is 'HIGH' or '' only when exactly one of the inputs is '' (which is an odd number of 'HIGH' inputs). In general, for any number of inputs, an Ex-OR gate gives a 'HIGH' output if and only if an odd number of its inputs are 'HIGH'. Hence, it is also known as an odd parity generator.

Answer: Ex-OR gate
