Question No 01: [8]Marks
a) Find the minimum-cost SOP and POS forms for the function
f (x1, x2, x3, x4) = ∑(0, 2, 8, 9, 10, 15) (2)
b) ABC'D +A'BD + ABCD reduce to two literals using Boolean algebraic laws. (2)
c) A circuit with two outputs has to implement the following functions
f (x1, x2, x3, x4) = ∑ (0, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9)
g (x1, x2, x3, x4) =∑ (2, 4, 9, 10, 15)
Design the minimum-cost circuit and compare its cost with combined costs of two circuits that
implement f and g separately. Assume that the input variables are available in both un-
complemented and complemented forms. (4)
b) Use the Mc. Quins method to find a minimum cost SOP realization for the function
