Logic MCQ

A Karnaugh map is used to simplify Boolean expressions through merging adjacent cells with the same values. It represents the variables of a logic circuit in a two-dimensional grid. Each cell corresponds to a minterm, which is a product term where each variable appears in its true or complemented form. Adjacent cells that can be combined result in a simpler Boolean expression.
