Logic Circuit Simplification MCQs : This section focuses on the "Logic Circuit Simplification". These Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) should be practiced to improve the Logic Circuit Simplification skills required for various interviews (campus interview, walk-in interview, company interview), placement, entrance exam and other competitive examinations.
Question 1
Which of the examples below expresses the distributive law of Boolean algebra?
A. A • (B • C) = (A • B) + C
B. A + (B + C) = (A • B) + (A • C)
C. A • (B + C) = (A • B) + (A • C)
D. (A + B) + C = A + (B + C)
Question 2
Which of the examples below expresses the commutative law of multiplication?
A. A + B = B + A
B. A • B = B + A
C. A • (B • C) = (A • B) • C
D. A • B = B • A
Question 3
Which statement below best describes a Karnaugh map?
A. It is simply a rearranged truth table.
B. The Karnaugh map eliminates the need for using NAND and NOR gates.
