The statement 'The stick pusher function will not work as long as at least one of the switches is on' is true.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Always works

Answer: (B)

Understanding how multiple switches gate a protective function is about the logic that ties the switches to the action. The stick pusher being inhibited by “any switch on” assumes an OR-type inhibition, where any single active switch stops the function. In real systems, inhibition is not typically triggered by just one on state; it usually requires a specific combination or a dedicated inhibit signal (for example, both switches in inhibit or a separate control path). Because of that, having at least one switch on does not automatically prevent the stick pusher from operating. The statement is not true.
