2. (a) Find the complement of the F = x (y 0 z + yz 0 ) by talking its dual and complementing
each literal. [2 marks]
0 0 0 0 0 0
Solution: dual = x + (y + z)(y + z ) → F = x + (y + z )(y + z).
(b) Demonstrate using a truth table the validity of x + yz = (x + y) (x + z). [3 marks]
Solution: Clearly, it is seen from the following truth table that the LHS of the above
equation is equivalent to its RHS.
x y z yz LHS: x + yz (x + y) (x + z) RHS: (x + y) (x + z)

w0 z + xz + x0 y + wx0 z
Solution:
w0 z = m1 + m3 + m5 + m7 ,
xz = m5 + m7 + m13 + m15 ,
x0 y = m2 + m3 + m10 + m11 ,
wx0 z = m9 + m11 .
P
∴ F (w, x, y, z) = (m1 , m2 , m3 , m5 , m7 , m9 , m10 , m11 , m13 , m15 )
Therefore F (w, x, y, z) can be represented in the K-map as shown below
