Given the function 𝐹 = 𝑃′ + 𝑄𝑅, where 𝐹 is a function in three Boolean variables 𝑃,𝑄 and 𝑅 and 𝑃′ = ! 𝑃 , consider the following statements.

(S1) 𝐹 = βˆ‘(4, 5, 6)

(S2) 𝐹 = βˆ‘(0, 1, 2, 3, 7)

(S3) 𝐹 = ∏(4, 5, 6)

(S4) 𝐹 = ∏(0, 1, 2, 3, 7)

Which of the following is true?

  1. A.

    (S1)- False, (S2)- True, (S3)- True, (S4)- False

  2. B.

    (S1)- True, (S2)- False, (S3)- False, (S4)- True

  3. C.

    (S1)- False, (S2)- False, (S3)- True, (S4)- True

  4. D.

    (S1)- True, (S2)- True, (S3)- False, (S4)- False

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Correct. P' = 1 whenever P = 0, so minterms 0, 1, 2, 3 make F = 1. QR = 1 when Q = R = 1, which adds minterm 7. Thus F's ones are {0,1,2,3,7} (so F = Ξ£(0,1,2,3,7)) and its zeros are {4,5,6} (so F = Ξ (4,5,6)). Therefore the statements evaluate as: F = Ξ£(4,5,6) is false; F = Ξ£(0,1,2,3,7) is true; F = Ξ (4,5,6) is true; F = Ξ (0,1,2,3,7) is false.
