In a certain chemical-processing plant, a liquid chemical is used in a manufacturing process. The chemical is stored in three different tanks. A level sensor in each tank produces a HIGH voltage when the level of chemical in the tank drops below a specified point. Design a circuit that monitors the chemical level in each tank and indicates when the level in any two of the tanks drops below the specified point.
