    By Forming truth table we get

    From the input and output table we see that outputs are in the form of gray code.
    For example: Binary 0 0 0 → gray code 0 0 0 (first bit as it then add according to arrow shown)
    0 1 1→ gray code 0 1 0 etc.
    Hence alternative (B) is the correct answer.

    Correct Option: B

    Apply hit and trial method
    (A) A + AC + AB + BC = A + BC: i.e., False
    (B) AC + AB + BC: i.e., False
    (C) AC + AB + BC = AC + AB = BC + AA = A (A + B) + C (A + B) = (A + C) (A + B)
    which is ≠ LHS i.e., False
    (D) A + AC + AB + BC
    = A (1 + C) + AB + BC
    = A + BC
    = L.H.S. True
    Hence alternative (D) is the correct answer.

    Correct Option: D

    Apply hit and trial method
    (A) A + AC + AB + BC = A + BC: i.e., False
    (B) AC + AB + BC: i.e., False
    (C) AC + AB + BC = AC + AB = BC + AA = A (A + B) + C (A + B) = (A + C) (A + B)
    which is ≠ LHS i.e., False
    (D) A + AC + AB + BC
    = A (1 + C) + AB + BC
    = A + BC
    = L.H.S. True
    Hence alternative (D) is the correct answer.
