    Consider the Boolean expression A(x, y, z) = x (y'z)’. Which of the following is the complete sum-of-products form of the given Boolean expression?
    Question

    Consider the Boolean expression A(x, y, z) = x (y'z)’. Which of the following is the complete sum-of-products form of the given Boolean expression?

    A.

    xyz + x'yz' + x'y’z'

    B.

    xyz' + x'yz' + x'y’z'

    C.

    xyz + xy’z + x'y'z'

    D.

    xyz + xyz' + xy'z'

    Correct option is D

    We are asked to find the complete sum-of-products form of the given Boolean expression: A(x, y, z) = x (y' z)'
    Let’s break down this expression and simplify it step by step.
    Step 1: Simplify the expression A(x, y, z) = x (y' z)'
    We begin by applying De Morgan's law to the expression (y' z)'. According to De Morgan’s law:
    (y′z)′ = y + z′
    This gives us the expression:
    A(x, y, z) = x (y + z')
    Step 2: Expand the Expression
    Now, using the distributive property, we expand the expression:
    A(x,y,z)=xy+xzA(x, y, z) = x \cdot y + x \cdot z'​​
    Construct the Truth Table
    Now, let's construct the truth table to find the rows where A = 1: The table shows the values of x, y, z, and the corresponding values of A(x, y, z), where A = 1 for the rows:

    x
    y
    z
    z’
    y + z’
    A = x(y + z’)

    For A = 1, the corresponding rows are:
    · x = 1, y = 0, z = 0minterm: x y'z'
    · x = 1, y = 1, z = 0minterm: x yz'
    · x = 1, y = 1, z = 1 minterm: x yz
    Thus, the complete sum-of-products form is:
    A(x, y, z) = xyz + xy'z' + xyz'
