This set of Digital Electronics/Circuits Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Sum of Products and Products of Sum”.
1. The logical sum of two or more logical product terms is called __________
a) SOP
b) POS
c) OR operation
d) NAND operation
View Answer
Explanation: The logical sum of two or more logical product terms, is called SOP (i.e. sum of product). The logical product of two or more logical sum terms is called POS (i.e. product of sums).
2. The expression Y=AB+BC+AC shows the _________ operation.
a) EX-OR
b) SOP
c) POS
d) NOR
View Answer
Explanation: The given expression has the operation product as well as the sum of that. So, it shows SOP operation. POS will be the product of sum terms.
3. The expression Y=(A+B)(B+C)(C+A) shows the _________ operation.
a) AND
b) POS
c) SOP
d) NAND
View Answer
Explanation: The given expression has the operation sum as well as the product of that. So, it shows POS(product of sum) operation. SOP will be the sum of product terms.
4. A product term containing all K variables of the function in either complemented or uncomplemented form is called a __________
a) Minterm
b) Maxterm
c) Midterm
d) ∑ term
View Answer
Explanation: A product term containing all K variables of the function in either complemented or uncomplemented form is called a minterm. A sum term containing all K variables of the function in either complemented or uncomplemented form is called a maxterm.
5. According to the property of minterm, how many combination will have value equal to 1 for K input variables?
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
View Answer
Explanation: The main property of a minterm is that it possesses the value 1 for only one combination of K input variables and the remaining will have the value 0.
6. The canonical sum of product form of the function y(A,B) = A + B is __________
a) AB + BB + A’A
b) AB + AB’ + A’B
c) BA + BA’ + A’B’
d) AB’ + A’B + A’B’
View Answer
Explanation: A + B = A.1 + B.1 = A(B + B’) + B(A + A’) = AB + AB’ + BA +BA’ = AB + AB’ + A’B = AB + AB’ + A’B.
7. A variable on its own or in its complemented form is known as a __________
a) Product Term
b) Literal
c) Sum Term
d) Word
View Answer
Explanation: A literal is a single logic variable or its complement. For example — X, Y, A’, Z, X’ etc.
8. Maxterm is the sum of __________ of the corresponding Minterm with its literal complemented.
a) Terms
b) Words
c) Numbers
d) Nibble
View Answer
Explanation: Maxterm is the sum of terms of the corresponding Minterm with its literal complemented.
9. Canonical form is a unique way of representing ____________
a) SOP
b) Minterm
c) Boolean Expressions
d) POS
View Answer
Explanation: Boolean Expressions are represented through a canonical form. An example of canonical form is A’B’C’ + AB’C + ABC’.
10. There are _____________ Minterms for 3 variables (a, b, c).
a) 0
b) 2
c) 8
d) 1
View Answer
Explanation: Minterm is given by 2n. So, 23 = 8 minterms are required.
11. _____________ expressions can be implemented using either (1) 2-level AND-OR logic circuits or (2) 2-level NAND logic circuits.
a) POS
b) Literals
c) SOP
d) POS
View Answer
Explanation: SOP expressions can be implemented using either (1) 2-level AND-OR logic circuits or (2) 2-level NAND logic circuits.
