This set of Discrete Mathematics Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Logic Circuits”.
1. If there are ‘M’ switches in series numbered from 1, 2, …, M. For circuit to be complete and bulb to glow which of the following is necessary?
a) 1∧ 2∧ 3 ∧ … ∧M should be on
b) 1∧ 2∧ 3 ∧ … ∧M should be off
c) 1 v 2 v 3 v … v M should be on
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: All should be on in-order to complete the circuit.
2. If there are ‘M’ switches in parallel numbered from 1, 2, …, M. For circuit to be complete and bulb to glow which of the following is necessary
a) 1∧ 2∧ 3 ∧ … ∧M should be on
b) 1∧ 2∧ 3 ∧ … ∧M should be off
c) 1 v 2 v 3 v … v M should be on
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Anyone should be on in-order to complete the circuit.
3. In the circuit shown the lamp will be glowing if _________
a) P: True, Q: False
b) P: True, Q: True
c) P: False, Q: False
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The circuit will be complete if P is true and Q is false.
4. In this circuit shown the lamp will be glowing if _________
a) P: True, Q: True, R: False
b) P: True, Q: True, R: True
c) P: False, Q: False, R: True
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The circuit will be complete if R is true and Q is false or P is false.
5. Which statement should be true in order for lamp to glow?
a) (R ∧ (~(P ∧ Q))
b) P∧R∧Q
c) P ∧ (Q ∧ ~R)
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The circuit will be complete if R is true and Q is false or P is false.
6. If it is given that switch R is closed and Q is closed then lamp will glow if _________
a) P: Open, S: Closed
b) P: Open, S: Open
c) P: Closed, S: Closed
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The circuit will be complete if (~P) is true and S is true.
7. The circuit depend on which switch/switches state to be complete?
a) P
b) Q
c) Both P and Q
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The circuit will be complete if (P) is true, Q v ~Q will always be true.
8. The ten switches A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,N,M are placed in the given circuit (all are open at given time). If you close one switch you need to pay 1 unit cost. What is the cost you need to pay to glow this Lamp?
a) 1 unit
b) 2 units
c) 3 units
d) 4 units
View Answer
Explanation: This can be achieved by turning one of switches N or M on.
9. If in a for it to be complete it is necessary for switch A to be closed and either of switch B or C to be closed, then which can be true?
a) Switch A should in parallel with B and C is series to them
b) Switch A should be in series with a parallel circuit of B and C
c) All of the mentioned
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Switch A is in series and since there is ‘or’ between B and C therefore they must be in parallel.
10. The given circuit can work if the switches P and Q be ___________
a) P: True, Q: False
b) P: True, Q: True
c) P: False, Q: False
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: If Q is false, then the circuit will be complete irrespective of the value of P. Also, if P is true and Q is also true, then also the circuit will be complete. Hence, all the choices are correct.
