Given Problem:
The problem requires finding the values of (X0, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7) to realize the function F = A + B̅. The correct option is provided as Option 2.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Understanding the Function:
The given function F = A + B̅ is a logical OR operation between A and the complement of B (denoted as B̅).
- In Boolean algebra, the OR operation (denoted by '+') results in a value of 1 if either of the inputs is 1.
- The complement B̅ represents the inverse of B; if B = 0, then B̅ = 1, and if B = 1, then B̅ = 0.
Truth Table:
To realize this function, we construct a truth table for the inputs A and B and the output F:
A | B | B̅ | F = A + B̅ |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
Mapping Output to (X0, X1, ..., X7):
The values of (X0, X1, ..., X7) correspond to the output F for all possible combinations of 3-bit binary inputs. For inputs A and B, the truth table above gives the first two bits. The third bit (C) is irrelevant for the function F = A + B̅, meaning the output F remains the same regardless of the value of C.
In a 3-bit binary system:
- X0 corresponds to A = 0, B = 0, C = 0 → F = 1
- X1 corresponds to A = 0, B = 0, C = 1 → F = 1
- X2 corresponds to A = 0, B = 1, C = 0 → F = 0
- X3 corresponds to A = 0, B = 1, C = 1 → F = 0
- X4 corresponds to A = 1, B = 0, C = 0 → F = 1
- X5 corresponds to A = 1, B = 0, C = 1 → F = 1
- X6 corresponds to A = 1, B = 1, C = 0 → F = 1
- X7 corresponds to A = 1, B = 1, C = 1 → F = 1
Thus, the values of (X0, X1, ..., X7) are (1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1), which matches Option 2.
Correct Option:
Option 2: (1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1)
This option correctly represents the output values for the function F = A + B̅ based on the mapping of the truth table.
Important Information
To further understand why other options are incorrect, let’s analyze them:
Option 1: (1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1)
This option represents the output values for the function F = A + B̅, but it is identical to Option 2. Therefore, it is redundant and not the correct answer.
Option 3: (1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1)
This option misrepresents the output values of F. For example:
- X3 (A = 0, B = 1, C = 1) is listed as 1, but based on F = A + B̅, the correct value should be 0.
- X4 (A = 1, B = 0, C = 0) is listed as 0, but the correct value is 1.
Thus, Option 3 does not match the truth table of F = A + B̅ and is incorrect.
Option 4: (0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
This option completely misrepresents the output values of F. For example:
- X0 (A = 0, B = 0, C = 0) is listed as 0, but based on F = A + B̅, the correct value should be 1.
- X2 (A = 0, B = 1, C = 0) is listed as 1, but the correct value is 0.
Thus, Option 4 does not match the truth table of F = A + B̅ and is incorrect.
Conclusion:
Understanding Boolean functions and their truth tables is critical for solving such problems. The correct values of (X0, X1, ..., X7) for the function F = A + B̅ are (1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1), which matches Option 2. Other options fail to accurately represent the truth table for the given function, leading to incorrect results.
