Answer
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
Pairs (15,14) and (3,11) are redundant
Simplified expression = a'b'd + a'b'c + abd' + acd
