[Answers]

  1. If result of any logical statement or expression is always TRUE or 1, it is called Tautology and if the result is always FALSE or 0 it is called Fallacy.
  2. A Gate is simply an electronic circuit which operates on one or more signals to produce an output signal. Three basic logic gates are as following Inverter (NOT Gate)
    OR Gate AND Gate
  3. Truth Table is a table which represents all the possible values of logical variables/statements along with all the possible results of the given combinations of values.
  4. Principle of Duality is a very important principle used in Boolean algebra. This states that starting with a Boolean relation, another Boolean relation can be derived by :
    Changing each OR sign (+) to an AND sign(.).
    Changing each AND sign (.) to an OR sign(+).
    Replacing each 0 by 1 and each 1 by 0
  5. Idempotence law state that (a) X + X = X (b) X . X = X
    (a) X + X = X
    truth table:
    XXR
    000
    111
    0 + 0 = 0 and 1 + 1 = 1 0.
    From truth table it is prove that X + X = X
    (b) X . X = X
    truth table:
    XXR
    000
    111
    0 + 0 = 0 and 1 + 1 = 1
    From truth table it is prove that X . X = X
  6. Distributive law state that (a) X(Y +Z) = XY + XZ (b) X + YZ = (X + Y)(X + Z)
    a) X(Y +Z) = XY + XZ
    LHS = X(Y+Z)
    = XY+XZ
    =RHS Hence the proof.
    (b) X + YZ = (X + Y)(X + Z)
    RHS= XX+XZ+XY+YZ
    = X+XZ+XY+YZ
    = X(1+Z)+XY+YZ
    = X+XY+YZ
    = X(1+Y)+YZ
    = X+YZ = LHS Hence the proof.

  8. WX’ +Y’Z


  9. The reduced expression is W’Z’+WV’


  10. The reduced expression is A’B’+A’C
