Question 1
The literal count of a boolean expression is the sum of the number of times each literal appears in the expression. For example, the literal count of (xy + xz') is 4. What are the minimum possible literal counts of the product-of-sum and sum-of-product representations respectively of the function given by the following Karnaugh map ? Here, X denotes "don't care"

(11, 9)
(9, 13)
(9, 10)
(11, 11)
Question 2
Minimum sum of product expression for f(w, x, y, z) shown in Karnaugh-map below is
| yz\\wx | 00 | 01 | 11 | 10 |
| 00 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| 01 | x | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 11 | x | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 10 | 0 | 1 | 1 | x |
xz + y'z
xz' + zx'
x'y + zx'
None of these

Question 8
Consider three 4-variable functions f1, f2 and f3, which are expressed in sum-of-minterms
f1 = Ξ£(0, 2, 5, 8, 14)

Ξ£(7, 8, 11)
Ξ£(2, 14)
Ξ£(0, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 14)
Ξ£(2, 7, 8, 11, 14)
Question 9
