BACKGROUND

Mavhudzi ZIMFEP High is and educational Institution offering Computer Science as a

learning area. The kitchen workers at Mavhudzi use an elevator to reach the kitchen. Within
the kitchen is a safety system which uses logic circuit. An alarm X sounds to show that there
is trouble within the elevator system, IF input A represents ON and input b represents 0,
OR if input B represents 1 AND input C represent OFF. As a Computer Science learner
you are tasked to produce the truth table and the logic gate to show the condtions which cause
the OUTPUT X to be 1.
