Which of the following is the complement of the boolean function.
A'B + CD' + A'B + CD'
Solution
The correct answer is Option 3) (A + B')(C' + D).
Key Points
Given Boolean function: A'B + CD' + A'B + CD'
- First simplify the given expression:
- A'B + A'B = A'B (redundant term)
- CD' + CD' = CD' (redundant term)
- So, the simplified function = A'B + CD'
Now, we are asked to find the complement of this function:
Let F = A'B + CD'
Then the complement is: F' = (A'B + CD')'
Apply De Morgan’s Law:
- (A'B + CD')' = (A'B)' · (CD')'
- (A'B)' = A + B'
- (CD')' = C' + D
Therefore, F' = (A + B')(C' + D)
Hence, the correct answer is: Option 3) (A + B')(C' + D)
