02. A sketch of an automated water system of a green house is given below. Answer the questions about
it.
A and B are a moisture sensor and a temperature sensor respectively and C is a manual switch.
Signals are given to the water supply system from the Logic circuit according to the input signals
from the A, B and C sensors to open the water supply outlet to the field. (If the output signal from
the logic circuit = 1, it opens the water outlet and if it is zero it does not open the water supply.
(Moist soil = 1, high temperature=1, Manual switch open (on)=1)
