Question 1
If the function W, X, Y and Z are as follows,
[Tex]W = R + \bar{P}Q + \bar{R}S.[/Tex]
[Tex]X = PQ\bar{R}\bar{S} + \bar{P}\bar{Q}\bar{R}\bar{S} + P\bar{Q}\bar{R}\bar{S}[/Tex]
[Tex]Y = RS + \overline{PR + P\bar{Q} + \bar{P}\bar{Q}}[/Tex]
[Tex]Z = R + S + \overline{PQ + \bar{P}\bar{Q}\bar{R} + P\bar{Q}\bar{S}}[/Tex]
then
( GATE 2003 || EC || MCQ ||1 MARK)
W = Z, X = [Tex]{\bar{Z}}[/Tex]
[Tex]W = \bar{Z}, \; X = Y[/Tex]
W = Z, X = Y
