A greenhouse uses a system to monitor the conditions that plants need to grow. The inputs to the system are: Input Binary value Condition W 1 Window is open 0 Window is closed T 1 Temperature >=26 °C 0 Temperature <26 °C H 1 Humidity >=50% 0 Humidity <50% The system will sound an alarm when certain conditions are detected. Alarm (X) will sound (=1) when: window is closed and temperature >=26 °C or temperature <26 °C and humidity >=50% Draw a logic circuit to represent the system. W T H X

Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2018). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- [5] 1 mark for each correct logic gate, with correct inputs.
- [Diagram of logic circuit shows: NOT gate for W, AND gate for (NOT W and T), NOT gate for T, AND gate for (NOT T and H), OR gate for the two AND gate outputs leading to X.]
