Answer all Question in Part I (compulsory) and seven questions from Part II, choosing three questions
from Sections A and four questions from

Section B. All working, including rough work, should be done on the same sheet as the rest of the answer.
The intended marks for questions or for parts of questions are given in brackets[].

------------------------------------------------------------------

PART I

Answer all questions.

while answering questions in this part indicate briefly your working reasoning wherever required.

Question 1. [10]

(a) State the two Absorption Laws of Boolean Algebra. Verify any one of

them using the truth table.

Ans: two absorption Laws are: (i) X + XY = X (II) X (X + Y) = X
Input Output
X Y XY X + XY
0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0
1 0 0 1
1 1 1 1

Column X and X + XY are identical. hence proved.

(b) Find the complement of F(m,n,o)=m'.n.o'+m'.n'.o

Ans: (m'.n.o'+m'.n'.o)'
=(m'.n.o')'.(m'.n'.o)'
=(m+n'+o).(m+n+o')
=mm+mn+mo'+n'm+n'n+n'o+om+on+oo'
=m+mn+mo'+n'm+n'o+om+on [o.o'=0]
=m+mo'+n'm+n'o+om+on [m+mn=m]
=m+m(o'+o)+n'm+n'o+on [o+o'=1]
=m+m+n'm+n'o+on [m+m=m]
=n'm+o(n'+n)
=n'm+o [n'+n=1]

(c) Write the product-of-sum for the Boolean function F(A,B,C) whose output

is 0 only when:

A=1, B=0, C=0

A=0, B=1, C=0

A=0, B=0, C=1

A=1, B=1, C=1

Ans: The truth table for the expression is:
A B C F POS
0 0 0
0 0 1 0 A+B+C
0 1 0 0 A+B'+C
0 1 1
1 0 0 0 A'+B+C
1 0 1
1 1 0
1 1 1 0 A'+B'+C'

Product of Sum (POS) for the boolean function F(A,B,C) is

(A+B+C)(A+B'+C)(A'+B+C)(A'+B'+C')

(d) Simplify a.b+a'.c+b.c using the laws of Boolean Algebra.

At each step state clearly the laws used for simplification.

Ans: a.b + a'.c + b.c
a.b.(c+c')+a'c+bc
abc+abc'+a'c+bc
bc+abc'+a'c

(e) Why is the NOR gate regarded as a Universal Gate? Draw the logic gate

symbol and make the truth table for the two input NOR gate.
Ans:

Question 2.

(a) Convert the following infix expression to its postfix form:

A+[(B+C)+(D+E)*F]/G
Ans:

(b) In an array of real numbers ARR[25][25],ARR[1][1] is stored in location

 1000, Find the address of ARR[12][12] when the array is stored row-

major wise. Assume each real number requires 4 bytes.

Ans:

(c) Reduce the following three-input function into its simplest form:

F(X,Y,Z)= (0,1,3,5)
X\YZ 00 01 11 10
0 0 1 3 2
1 4 5 7 6

(d) Define a queue. How is a deque different from a queue?

Ans:

(e) Define Encapsulation and Polymorphism.

Ans: The wrapping up to data and methods into a single units (called class) is known as encapsulation.
Encapsulation property hides the inner working of objects from the real world.
Polymorphism: It is the ability for a message or data to be processed in more then one form. Example
Function Overloading.
