Consider the following logic statement: X = ((A OR B) AND (NOT (B XOR C)) AND C)
- (a)Draw a logic circuit to represent the given logic statement. Do not attempt to simplify the logic statement. All logic gates must have a maximum of two inputs. A B C -X[5]
- (b)Complete the truth table for the given logic statement. A B C 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 Working space X[4]

Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2022). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- [1] OR gate with inputs A and B
- [1] XOR gate with inputs B and C
- [1] NOT gate with input from (B XOR C)
- [1] AND gate with inputs from (A OR B) and (NOT (B XOR C))
- [1] AND gate with inputs from ((A OR B) AND (NOT (B XOR C))) and C, leading to X
- [4] All 8 correct outputs: 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1
- [3] 6/7 correct outputs
- [2] 4/5 correct outputs
- [1] 2/3 correct outputs
