Solutions
Answer 6:
Given function:
A(x,y,z) = Σ(1,2,4,6)
B(x,y,z) = Σ(0,1,6,7)
C(x,y,z) = Σ(2,6)
D(x,y,z) = Σ(1,2,3,5,7)
a)Truth table:
b) PLA logic diagram construction:
A=x'y'z+x'yz'+xy'z'+xyz'
A = x'y'z+xz'+yz'
B = x'y'z'+x'y'z+xyz'+xyz
B=x'y'+xy
C=x'yz'+xyz'
C = yz'
D= x'y'z+x'yz'+x'yz+xy'z+xyz
D=z+x'y

Answer 16:
The Boolean expressions are
F1 = AC + AB + BC and F2 = B'C' + A'C' + ABC
F1' = B'C' + A'B' + A'C' and F2' = A'C + B'C + ABC'.
