Mavudzi Zimfep High is an educational institution offering Computer Science as learning area .The
Kitchen workers at Mavhudzi use an elevator to reach the Kitchen .Within the kitchen there 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
represents OFF.
