Question No.1 (Marks = 10)

a) How many combinations of bits are exist when we make a truth table of 9 inputs?

2ⁿ are the total combinations of bits in Truth table, where n is number of variables, so

2⁹=512

512 bits will there

b) Prepare a truth table for the following I = (w + x) Å (y . z) where w, x, y and z are four binary inputs in the truth table.

Note :(Å symbol represent XOR gate)

Solution:

Remember in XOR, output will high only if only all inputs are mismatch to each others.

Inputs						Output
W	X	Y	Z	w+x	y.z	(w + x) Å (y . z)
