Boolean Algebra Problem: Solution for AB vs. A(comp(B)+c)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a Boolean algebra problem comparing two expressions: AB and A(comp(B)+c). The original poster simplified the expression to AB but questioned the validity of the model answer, A(comp(B)+c). Participants confirmed that the model answer is incorrect, as it does not yield the expected output for certain input values. It was noted that the correct interpretation requires an additional inverter to ensure the proper input for the AND gate. The conclusion is that the model answer is not true without the missing inverter.
waver.

Number 12 : I have simplified it and I have got AB but the model answer in red say A(comp(B)+c)
I just want is that answer true or not , thanks in advance

Why don't you check yourself? What is the output if ##A \overline B## (and choose whatever you like for C)?
 
You are right. You can easily see that every input that includes B=0 gives a 0 output, when by the answer in red (A,B,C)=(1,0,0) for example should give 1.
 
To get the textbook's answer, you need to restore a missing inverter so the upper AND gate receives ##\overline B## at its lower input.
