To find the minterm expansion of the given function f(P, Q, R) = PQ QR PR, we need to identify the minterms where the function evaluates to 1.
A minterm is a product term that includes all the input variables of a function in either their true or complemented form. In this case, we have three input variables P, Q, and R.
PQ QR PR is the product of three minterms, one for each input variable. To determine the minterms where the function evaluates to 1, we need to consider all possible combinations of P, Q, and R that satisfy the given function.
Let's consider each minterm separately:
1. PQ: This minterm is true when P is true and Q is true. So, the minterm PQ evaluates to 1 when P = 1 and Q = 1.
2. QR: This minterm is true when Q is true and R is true. So, the minterm QR evaluates to 1 when Q = 1 and R = 1.
3. PR: This minterm is true when P is true and R is true. So, the minterm PR evaluates to 1 when P = 1 and R = 1.
Therefore, the minterm expansion of f(P, Q, R) = PQ QR PR is given by the combinations where PQ, QR, and PR are true.
Now, let's identify the minterms where the function evaluates to 1:
- m2: P = 1, Q = 0, R = 1 (PR = 1)
- m4: P = 1, Q = 1, R = 0 (PQ = 1)
- m6: P = 1, Q = 1, R = 1 (PQ = 1, QR = 1, PR = 1)
- m7: P = 1, Q = 1, R = 1 (PQ = 1, QR = 1, PR = 1)
Therefore, the minterm expansion of f(P, Q, R) = PQ QR PR is m2 m4 m6 m7, which corresponds to option A.
