Simplified Boolean equation for the following truth table is :

\(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}\hline x & y & z & F \\ \hline \text{0} & \text{0} & \text{0} & \text{0} \\ \hline \text{0} & \text{0} & \text{1} & \text{1} \\ \hline \text{0} & \text{1} & \text{0} & \text{0} \\ \hline \text{0} & \text{1} & \text{1} & \text{1} \\ \hline \text{1} & \text{0} & \text{0} & \text{1} \\ \hline \text{1} & \text{0} & \text{1} & \text{0} \\ \hline \text{1} & \text{1} & \text{0} & \text{1} \\ \hline \text{1} & \text{1} & \text{1} & \text{0} \\ \hline \end{array}\)

  1. A.

    \(F=y \bar{z}+\bar{y}z\)

  2. B.

    \(F=x \bar{y}+\bar{x}y\)

  3. C.

    \(F=\bar{x}z+x\bar{z}\)

  4. D.

    \(F=\bar{x}z+x\bar{z}+xyz\)

Attempted by 107 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Minterms where F = 1: (0,0,1), (0,1,1), (1,0,0), (1,1,0)

Combine terms with the same z value:

  • For z = 1: combine (0,0,1) and (0,1,1) to get x' z.

  • For z = 0: combine (1,0,0) and (1,1,0) to get x z'.

Final simplified expression: F = x' z + x z' = x XOR z (independent of y).
