Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 1:
Which Boolean law is represented below 2
P + Q·R = (P+Q)·(P+R)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 1 Detailed Solution
The correct answer is "option 4".
EXPLANATION:
Option 1: FALSE
De Morgan's law equations are :
(P.Q)' → P' + Q'
(P+Q)' → P' . Q'
Option 2: FALSE
Associative law equations are :
P + (Q + R) → (P + Q) + R
P . (Q . R) → (P . Q) . R
Option 3: FALSE
Commutative law equations are :
P + Q → Q + P
P . Q → Q . P
Option 4: TRUE
Distributive law equation is :
P + Q . R → (P+Q) . (P+R)
Hence, the correct answer is "option 4".

Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 5:
What is the dual of the Boolean function x + yz?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:-
Dual of Boolean function:- It is the expression one obtains by interchanging addition and multiplication and interchanging 0's and 1's. The dual of the function F is denoted as Fd.
Explanation:-
To get a dual of any Boolean Expression, replace-
OR with AND i.e. + with .
AND with OR i.e. .with +
Consider the function: F(x, y, z) = x + yz
The dual of this function is-
Fd (x,y,z) = x(y + z).
Additional InformationSelf-Dual Function:- When a function is equal to its dual, it is called a Self-Dual Function.
Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 6:
Solve the following Boolean expression:
\(Y = A\left( {\bar A + C} \right)\left( {\bar AB + C} \right)\left( {\bar ABC + \bar C} \right)\)
Select the correct option.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 6 Detailed Solution
Given Y = A (A̅ + C) (A̅B + C) (A̅BC + C̅)
This can be written as:
Y = (A.A̅ + AC) (A̅B + C) (A̅BC + C̅)
Since A.A̅ = 0, the above expression can be written as:
Y = (AC) (A̅B + C) (A̅BC + C̅)
Y = (AC.A̅B + AC.C) (A̅BC + C̅)
With C.C = C, we can write:
Y = (AC) (A̅BC + C̅)
Y = AC.A̅BC + AC.C̅
Y = 0 + 0
Y = 0

Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 7:
Find the boolean expression for the logic circuit shown below:
(1-NAND gate, 2-NOR gate, 3-NOR gate)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 7 Detailed Solution
De Morgan’s’ Law
\(\overline {X + Y} = \bar X.\bar Y\)
\(\overline {XY} = \bar X + \bar Y\)
Let P be the output of 1- NAND gate
\({\rm{P}} = \overline {{\rm{A}}.{\rm{B}}}\)
Let Q be the output of 1- NAND gate
\({\rm{Q}} = \overline {\bar A + B} \)
\({\rm{Y}} = \overline {{\rm{P}} + {\rm{\;Q}}} = \bar P\bar Qa\)
\({\rm{Y}} = {\rm{\;}}\overline {\overline {{\rm{A}}.{\rm{B}}} \;} .\;\overline {\overline {\bar A + B} } \;\;\)
Y = (A.B). (A̅ + B)
Y = A.B.A̅ + A.B.B
∵ A.A̅ = 0 and B.B = B
Y = AB
Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 8:
Let # be a binary operator defined as
X # Y = X’ + Y’ where X and Y are Boolean variables.
Consider the following two statements.
(S1) (P # Q) #R = P# (Q # R)
(S2) Q # R = R # Q
Which of the following is/are true for the Boolean variables P, Q and R?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 8 Detailed Solution
\(\left( {P \ne Q} \right) \ne R = \overline {\left( {\bar P + \bar Q} \right)} + \bar R = PQ + \bar R\)
\(\\ P \ne \left( {Q \ne R} \right) = \bar P + \overline {\left( {\bar Q + \bar R} \right)} = \bar P + Q\bar R \)
∴ S1 is FALSE
But
\(Q \ne R = \bar Q + \bar R = \bar R + \bar Q = R \ne Q\)
∴ S2 is TRUE
Important Points
𝑋 \(\ne\) 𝑌 = 𝑋′ + 𝑌′ = (𝑋.𝑌)'
It is a NAND operation and NAND is commutative but not associative
Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 9:
The following expression may be simplified as (AB + C + DC)(AC + BC + D)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Minimization of Boolean Expression Question 9 Detailed Solution
(AB + C + DC)(AC + BC + D)
= (AB + C[1+ D])(AC + BC + D)
= (AB + C) (AC + BC + D)
= ABC + ABC + ABD + AC + BC + CD
= ABC + ABD + AC + BC + CD
= AC (1 + B) + ABD + BC + CD
= AC + BC + CD + ABD
