Part – I
Answer all questions

While answering questions in this Part, indicate briefly your working and reasoning, wherever required.

Question 1.
(a) State the Principle of Duality. Write the dual of: [2]
(P + Q’).R.1 = P.R + Q’.R
(b) Minimize the expression using Boolean laws: [2]
F = (A + B’)(B + CD)’
(c) Convert the following cardinal form of expression into its canonical form: [2]
F (P, Q, R) = π (1, 3)
(d) Using a truth table verify: [2]
(~p => q) ∧ p = (p ∧ ~q) ∨ (p ∧ q)
(e) If A = 1 and B = 0, then find: [2]
(i) (A’ + 1).B
(ii) (A + B7
Answer:
(a) To every Boolean equation there exists another equation which is dual to the previous equation. This is done by changing AND’s to OR’s and vice-versa, 0’s to Fs and vice-versa, complements remain unchanged.
Dual: (P.Q’) + R + 0 = (P + R). (Q’+ R)

(b) F = (A + B’).(B + CD)’
F = (A + B’). (B’. (CD)’)
F = AB’+B’B’.(C’+D’)
F = B’.(C’+D’)

(c) F(P, Q, R) = π(1, 3)
= 001, 011
= (P + Q + R’).(P + Q’ + R’)

(d) (~p => q) ∧ p = (p ∧ ~q) ∨ (p ∧ q)

(e) (i) (A’ + 1).B = (0 + 1). 0 = 0
(ii) (A+B’)’ = (1 + 1)’ = (1)’ = 0

Question 2.
(a) Differentiate between throw and throws with respect to exception handling. [2]
(b) Convert the following infix notation to its postfix form: [2]
E*(F/(G-H)*I) + J
(c) Write the algorithm for push operation (to add elements) in an array based stack. [2]
(d) Name the File Stream classes to: [2]
(i) Write data to a file in binary form.
(ii) Read data from a file in text form.
(e) A square matrix M [ ] [ ] of size 10 is stored in the memory’ with each element requiring 4 bytes of storage. If the base address at M [0][0] is 1840, determine the address at M [4] [8] when the matrix is stored in Row Major Wise. [2]
Answer:
(a) Throw: This clause is used to explicitly raise a exception within the program, the statement would throw new exception.
Throws: This clause is used to indicate the exception that are not handled by the method.

(b) E * (F/(G-H) * I) +J
= E*(F/GH- *I) + J
= E * FGH-/I * + J
= EFGH-/I**J +

(c) Step 1: Start
Step 2: if top >= capacity then OVERFLOW, Exit
Step 3: top = top+1
Step 4: Stack [top] = value
Step 5: Stop

(d) (i) FileOutputStream/DataOutputStream/FileWriter/OutputStream
(ii) FileReader / DatalnputStream/ InputStream/ FilelnputStream

(e) Row Major address formula:
M[i] [j] = BA+W [(i – Ir) * column + (j – Ic)]
BA: 1840, Ir = 0, Ic = 0, W = 4, rows = 10, column = 10, i = 4, j = 8
M[4] [8] = 1840 + 4 [(4 – 0) × 10+ (8 – 0)]
= 1840 + 192
= 2032

or
If Goalkeeper and Defenders perform well but the Centre players do not perform well.
or
If all the players perform well.

(iii) Draw a logic diagram for the SOP expression derived for D, using only NAND gates.
(b) Using a truth table, verify if the following proposition is valid or invalid:

(c) From the logic circuit diagram given below, name the outputs (1), (2) and (3). Finally, derive the Boolean expression and simplify it to show that it represents a logic gate. Name and draw the logic gate. [4]

Answer:

Question 7.
(a) What are Decoders? How are they different from Encoders? [2]
(b) Draw the truth table and a logic gate diagram for a 2 to 4 Decoder and briefly explain its working. [4]
(c) A combinational logic circuit with three inputs P, Q, R produces output 1 if and only if an odd number of 0’s are inputs. [4]
(i) Draw its truth table.
(ii) Derive a canonical SOP expression for the above truth table.
(iii) Find the complement of the above-derived expression using De Morgan’s theorem and verify if it is equivalent to its POS expression.
Answer:
(a) Decoders are a combinational circuit which inputs ‘n’ lines and outputs 2n or fewer lines. Encoders convert HLL to LLL i.e. Octal, Decimal and Hexadecimal to binary whereas Decoders convert LLL to HLL i.e. Binary to Octal, Decimal and Hexadecimal.

Working: If any number is required as output then the inputs should be the binary equivalent. For example, if the input is 01 (A’.B) then the output is 1 and so on.

(ii) X (P, Q, R) = P’Q’R’ + P’QR + PQ’R + PQR’
(iii) Complement of X (P, Q, R) = (P + Q + R). (P + Q’ + R’). (P’ + Q + R’). (P’ + Q’ + R) which is not equal to POS expression for the above Truth Table.
