Consider the following statements associated with Boolean algebra:
1. There is nothing like subtraction or division in Boolean algebra.
2. There is possibility of having negative or fractional numbers.
3. A variable has no numerical significance.
4. Logical multiplication is same as the AND operation, and logical addition is the same as the OR operation. 5. There are only three constants within the Boolean system.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
1. There is nothing like subtraction or division in Boolean algebra.
2. There is possibility of having negative or fractional numbers.
3. A variable has no numerical significance.
4. Logical multiplication is same as the AND operation, and logical addition is the same as the OR operation. 5. There are only three constants within the Boolean system.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 2 and 5 are not correct because there is no possibility of having negative and fractional numbers is Boolean algebra. Also, there are only two constant 0 and 1 (don’t care (x) is not a constant) within the Boolean system.
Assertion (A): Boolean algebra and Binary number system are different from each other.
Reason (R): There are some basic operations like AND, OR and NOT which are performed in Boolean algebra.
Reason (R): There are some basic operations like AND, OR and NOT which are performed in Boolean algebra.
Boolean algebra and Binary number system are different from each other because in Boolean algebra
1 + 1 = 1 while in the binary number system 1 + 1 = 10. There are lot of other examples to prove this.
Reason is also a correct statement because AND, OR and NOT are the three basic operations which are used in Boolean algebra. However, reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
According to De Morgan’s theorem:
1. the NOR gate is equivalent to a bubbled NAND gate.
2. individual variables can be removed form under a NOT sign, and a sum of product from can be transformed to a product-of- sums form.
3. the complement of the product of variables is equal to the sum of their individual complements.
4. the NAND gate is equivalent to a bubbled NOR gate.
5. individual variables can be removed from under a NOT sign, and a product-of-sum form can be transformed to a sum-of-products form.

The minimized Boolean expression for the logic diagram shown below is
From given logic diagram,
f = (A+AB) (B + BC) (C + AB)
= A (1 + B).B(1 + C) (C + AB)
= AB (C + AB)
= ABC + AB.AB
= ABC + AB
= AB (C+1) = AB
Assertion (A): The use of K-maps is usually limited to six-variables.
Reason (R): A K-map can not be used for problems involving more than six variables.
A K-map map can be used for problems involving any number of variables. But, for more than six variables it becomes tedious to solve the problem sign K-map. Hence, the use oi K-map is usually limited to six-variables. Thus, reason is a false statement.
Assertion (A): The binary number designations of the rows and columns of the K-map are in Gray code.
Reason (R): The Gray code designation is used in K-map to ensure that two physically adjacent squares are really adjacent i.e. their minterms or maxterms differ by only one variable.
Consider the following statements:
1. The terms which cannot be combined, further in the tabular method are called “prime implicants.’’
2. The implicants which will definitely occur in the final expression are called “essential prime implicants.”
3. The prime implicant chart is a pictorial representation of the relationships between the prime implicants and the minterms of the expression.

X8X4X2X1 is an 8421 BCD inputto a logic circuit whose output is 1 when X8 = 0, X4 = 0 and X2 = 1, or when X8 = 0 and X4 = 1. The simplest output of this logic circuit would be:
Denoting the non-complemented variable by 1 and the complemented variable by 0, the equation for the output is
