Let me check the list again. The list is {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14}. 12 is NOT in the list. Let me re-examine the video. - Ah, looking closely at the K-map filling: - Row 00 (c'd'): 4, 12, 8. Wait, 12 is not in the sum. Let's look at the grid. - The grid has numbers 0, 4, 12, 8 in the first row. - The lecturer puts 1s in cells corresponding to the minterms. - Minterms: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14. - He puts 1s in: - Row 00: 4, 8. (12 is empty). - Row 01: 5, 13, 9. (1 is empty). - Row 11: 7, 15, 11. (3 is empty). Wait, 15 is not in the list. 11 is. - Row 10: 6, 14, 10. (2 is empty). - Let's re-watch the filling process carefully. - He puts 1s in: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14. - He draws groups. - Group 1: Vertical group of 4 covering 4, 5, 12, 13? No, 12 is not a minterm. - Let's look at the final grouping. - He draws a vertical group on the right side: 8, 9, 11, 10. This is a group of 4. - He draws a vertical group in the middle: 4, 5, 12, 13? No, 12 is not there. - Let's look at the final image at 05:00. - There is a vertical group on the far right: 8, 9, 11, 10. - There is a vertical group in the middle: 4, 5, 12, 13? No, 12 is not marked. Wait, looking at the grid, 12 is in the top row. Is it marked? - Let's look at the minterm list again: {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14}. - 12 is NOT in the list. - 15 is NOT in the list. - 3 is NOT in the list. - 1 is NOT in the list. - 0 is NOT in the list. - 2 is NOT in the list. - So the 1s are at: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14. - Let's trace the groups drawn. - Group 1 (Rightmost vertical): 8, 9, 11, 10. This is a valid group of 4. - Group 2 (Middle vertical): 4, 5, 12, 13? No, 12 is not a 1. - Let's look at the drawing at 04:00. He draws a vertical line around 4, 5, 12, 13. Wait, is 12 a 1? - Let's look at the grid numbers. - Top row: 0, 4, 12, 8. - Second row: 1, 5, 13, 9. - Third row: 3, 7, 15, 11. - Fourth row: 2, 6, 14, 10. - He puts 1s in: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14. - So 12 is empty. 15 is empty. 3 is empty. 1 is empty. 0 is empty. 2 is empty. - He draws a vertical group around 4, 5, 12, 13? No, that would include 12 which is 0. - Let's look at the drawing at 04:30. He draws a vertical group around 4, 5, 12, 13. Wait, maybe I am misinterpreting the grid. - Let's look at the minterm list again. $f(a, b, c, d) = \sum_m \{4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14\}$. - Okay, let's look at the groups he draws. - He draws a vertical group on the right: 8, 9, 11, 10. This covers 8, 9, 10, 11. All are in the list. - He draws a vertical group in the middle: 4, 5, 12, 13. Wait, 12 is not in the list. - Let's look at the drawing at 05:00. - There is a vertical group around 4, 5, 12, 13. - There is a vertical group around 6, 7, 14, 15. Wait, 15 is not in the list. - There is a horizontal group around 4, 5, 6, 7. - There is a horizontal group around 12, 13, 14, 15? No. - Let's look at the final expression written. - He writes $\bar{a}b + a\bar{b} + \dots$ - Let's look at the groups again. - Group 1: Vertical group on the right column (10). Cells: 8, 9, 11, 10. This corresponds to $a\bar{b}$? No, column 10 is $ab'$. So $ab'$. - Group 2: Vertical group on the second column (01). Cells: 4, 5, 12, 13. Wait, 12 is not in the list. - Let's re-read the minterm list carefully. $\sum_m \{4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14\}$. - Maybe he made a mistake or I am misreading the grid. - Let's look at the grid filling. - He puts 1s in 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14. - He draws a vertical group around 4, 5, 12, 13. This implies 12 is a 1. But 12 is not in the list. - He draws a vertical group around 6, 7, 14, 15. This implies 15 is a 1. But 15 is not in the list. - He draws a horizontal group around 4, 5, 6, 7. - He draws a horizontal group around 12, 13, 14, 15?
