Calculate the minimum number of AND gates, OR gates and NOT gates required to realize Exclusive-OR operation if only using AND, OR and NOT gates are allowed.

Calculate the minimum number of AND gates, OR gates and NOT gates required to realize Exclusive-OR operation if only using AND, OR and NOT gates are allowed. Correct Answer 2 AND, 1 OR and 2 NOT gates or 1 AND, 2 OR and 2 NOT gates

The Exclusive-OR operation is given by A⊕B = A’.B + A.B’ = (A + B).(A’ + B’). Thus, it can be realized using 2 AND, 1 OR and 2 NOT gates for the Sum of Products expression and 1 AND, 2 OR and 2 NOT gates for the Product of Sums expression.
