OR gate output is 1 when:

Answer: At least one input is 1.

  • A Both inputs are 0
  • B At least one input is 1
  • C Both inputs are 1 only
  • D Neither input is 1

Correct answer: B. At least one input is 1

Explanation: OR gate: output = 1 if at least one input is 1. Output = 0 only if ALL inputs are 0.
