Karnaugh map for Understanding ISC Computer Science Boolean Algebra Chapter 1 Unit 2 Question 32 Solution

From pair (1,3):
Rows representing the pair: a'b'
Columns representing the pair: c'd + cd = d
Term Obtained = a'b'd

From pair (3,2):
Rows representing the pair: a'b'
Columns representing the pair: cd + cd' = c
Term Obtained = a'b'c

From pair (12,14):
Rows representing the pair: ab
Columns representing the pair: c'd' + cd' = d'
Term Obtained = abd'

From pair (15,11):
Rows representing the pair: ab + ab' = a
Columns representing the pair: cd
Term Obtained = acd

Simplified expression:
F(a, b, c, d) = a'b'd + a'b'c + abd' + acd
