1. Problem Description

We need to find the Boolean expression for the given circuit and find the output values P, Q, R, and S for the given truth table.

2. Solution Steps

For Question 13:
First, let's analyze the circuit diagram.
The circuit has two AND gates and one OR gate. The inputs A and B are fed into two AND gates. One AND gate receives the direct inputs A and B. The other AND gate receives the inverted inputs A and B i.e. A\overline{A} and B\overline{B}. The outputs of these two AND gates are then fed into an OR gate.
Therefore, the Boolean expression for the circuit can be written as (AB)+(AB)(A \cdot B) + (\overline{A} \cdot \overline{B}). This matches none of the given options. However, according to DeMorgan's law:
A+B=AB\overline{A+B} = \overline{A} \cdot \overline{B}
The given options are:
(1) AB+ABA \cdot B + \overline{A \cdot B}
(2) AB+AB\overline{A} \cdot B + A \cdot B
(3) AB+ABA \cdot B + \overline{A} \cdot \overline{B}
(4) (AB)(A)(A \cdot B)(\overline{A})
The correct expression is AB+ABA \cdot B + \overline{A} \cdot \overline{B}, which matches option (3).
For Question 14:
Let F=(AB)+(AB)F = (A \cdot B) + (\overline{A} \cdot \overline{B})
When A = 0 and B = 0:
F=(00)+(00)=0+(11)=0+1=1F = (0 \cdot 0) + (\overline{0} \cdot \overline{0}) = 0 + (1 \cdot 1) = 0 + 1 = 1
So, P =
1.
When A = 0 and B = 1:
F=(01)+(01)=0+(10)=0+0=0F = (0 \cdot 1) + (\overline{0} \cdot \overline{1}) = 0 + (1 \cdot 0) = 0 + 0 = 0
So, Q =
0.
When A = 1 and B = 0:
F=(10)+(10)=0+(01)=0+0=0F = (1 \cdot 0) + (\overline{1} \cdot \overline{0}) = 0 + (0 \cdot 1) = 0 + 0 = 0
So, R =
0.
When A = 1 and B = 1:
F=(11)+(11)=1+(00)=1+0=1F = (1 \cdot 1) + (\overline{1} \cdot \overline{1}) = 1 + (0 \cdot 0) = 1 + 0 = 1
So, S =
1.
Therefore, the output column P, Q, R, S is 1, 0, 0,
1.

3. Final Answer

Question 13: (3) AB+ABA \cdot B + \overline{A} \cdot \overline{B}
Question 14: (2) 1, 0, 0, 1
