    Question

    The Boolean expression (A·B)' is equivalent to:

    A.

    A'·B'

    B.

    A + B'

    C.

    A·B'

    D.

    A' + B'

    Correct option is D


    The given Boolean expression is (A · B)', which is the negation (NOT) of the AND operation between A and B. According to De Morgan's Law, the negation of an AND operation is equivalent to the OR operation of the negations of the individual variables.
    De Morgan's Law states:
    (A⋅B)′ = A′ + B′
    So, (A · B)' is equivalent to A' + B'.
    Important Key Points:
    1. De Morgan's Law: This law is a fundamental rule in Boolean algebra that allows you to simplify expressions involving NOT, AND, and OR.
    · (A · B)' = A' + B'
    · (A + B)' = A' · B'
    2. Negation of AND: When you negate an AND operation, the result is the OR of the negations of the operands.
    Knowledge Booster:
    · Option (a): A' · B' is the incorrect result. This would be the result if we applied De Morgan's law to (A + B)' (NOT OR).
    · Option (b): A + B' is incorrect. This expression does not match the result of negating the AND of A and B.
    · Option (c): A · B' is incorrect. This is just a simple combination of A and B', not a result of negating an AND operation.
