To get a boolean expression in the product of sum form, from a given K-map

  1. A.

    one should cover all the 1's present and complement the resulting expression

  2. B.

    one should cover all the 0's present and complement the resulting expression

  3. C.

    don't care conditions should not be present

  4. D.

    don't care conditions, if present, should be taken as zero

Attempted by 75 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

To derive an expression in Product of Sums (POS) form from a K-map, we group the 0s to find the minimized expression for F' (the complement of the function). Applying De Morgan's Law by complementing this resulting expression yields the final POS expression for F. Therefore, the correct option is B.
