Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a truth table with inputs A, B, and C having outputs 1 for (0,1,1), (1,0,1), and (1,1,0), form a product-of-sums expression and simplify it.

💡 Hint: Identify 0 output scenarios and remember how to collapse OR operations.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a logical circuit using product-of-sums expressions to represent the functionality derived from the truth table provided below:
A B C Y
0 0 0 1
0 0 1 0
0 1 0 1
1 1 1 0

💡 Hint: Transform outputs into logical AND and OR networks.
