Karnaugh map for Understanding ISC Computer Science Boolean Algebra Chapter 1 Unit 2 Question 7c Solution

From Octet (0,1,4,5,12,13,8,9):
Rows representing the Octet: 1 (Both variables a and b are in opposite form. Hence, they get cancelled.)
Columns representing the Octet: c'd' + c'd = c'
Term Obtained = c'

From quad (0,2,4,6):
Rows representing the quad: a'b' + a'b = a'
Columns representing the quad: c'd' + cd' = d'
Term Obtained = a'd'

From quad (4,6,12,14):
Rows representing the quad: a'b + ab = b
Columns representing the quad: c'd' + cd' = d'
Term Obtained = bd'

Simplified expression = c' + a'd' + bd'
