Electronic – What would they mean by this question

First let me say ignore the step e and step f, it's a typo.

Basically the Boolean expression is: (A./B) + (B.C)

Now it says convert it into NAND AND NOR function forms separately, which is confusing as hell because I don't know if the output is supposed to be the same, if they want 2 completely separate circuits one with a nand gate and one with a nor gate or what.

Now the next question says to construct the new circuits separately but then it says confirm ITS operation in accordance with THE truth table. I have the truth table and circuit for the first expression. Do I have ADD or is this question extremely vague?

They want two distinct expressions, one with operations in the form of \$\overline {X \cdot Y}\$ and one with operations in the form of \$\overline {X + Y}\$.

The question is a little broken. It should read "their operation" in order to agree with the previous fragment.
