Question 42: Simplify the Boolean expression A(B + C) + B(A + C').
Solution: A + B
- Expanding: A(B + C) + B(A + C') = AB + AC + BA + BC' = AB + AC + BC'.
- Using Absorption: AB + AC + BC' = A + B.
Question 43: Simplify the Boolean expression A'BC + AB'C + ABC'.
Solution: BC + AC'
- Group terms: A'BC + AB'C + ABC' = (A'B + AB')C + AC'.
- Using XOR: (A'B + AB')C = C.
- Thus, the result is BC + AC'.
Question 44: Simplify the Boolean expression AB'C + A'BC'.
Solution: A'BC' + AB'C
- This expression is in its simplest form and represents exclusive OR of multiple terms.
Question 45: Simplify the Boolean expression A + A'B + A'C.
Solution: A + B + C
- Using the Distributive Law: A + A'B + A'C = A + A'(B + C).
- Simplifying: A + B + C.
Question 46: Simplify the Boolean expression A'B + AB' + AB.
Solution: A + B
- Using the Distributive Law: A'B + AB' + AB = A(B + B') + B(A + A').
- Since B + B' = 1 and A + A' = 1, the expression simplifies to A + B.
Question 47: Simplify the Boolean expression A(B + C) + B(A + C).
Solution: A + B
- Using the Distributive Law: A(B + C) + B(A + C) = AB + AC + BA + BC.
- Simplifying: A + B.
Question 48: Simplify the Boolean expression (A + B)(A' + C).
Solution: AC + A'B
- Using the Distributive Law: (A + B)(A' + C) = AA' + AC + A'B + BC = AC + A'B.
Question 49: Simplify the Boolean expression A'B'C + A'BC' + ABC.
Solution: A'C + BC
- Using the Distributive Law: A'B'C + A'BC' + ABC = A'(B'C + BC') + ABC.
- Simplifying: A'C + BC.
Question 50: Simplify the Boolean expression A + A'BC.
Solution: A + BC
- Using the Distributive Law: A + A'BC = A + BC.
Question 51: Simplify the Boolean expression A'B' + AB + A'B.
Solution: A' + B
- Using the Distributive Law: A'B' + AB + A'B = A'(B' + B) + AB = A' + AB = A' + B.
Question 52: Simplify the Boolean expression A + A'B + B'C'.
Solution: A + B'C'
- Using the Distributive Law: A + A'B + B'C' = A + B'C'.
Question 53: Simplify the Boolean expression A + B(A' + C).
Solution: A + BC
- Using the Distributive Law: A + B(A' + C) = A + BA' + BC.
- Using Absorption: A + BA' + BC = A + BC.
