Question

Let `oplus` denote the Exclusive OR (XOR) operation. Let '1'  and '0'  denote the binary
constants. Consider the following Boolean expression for F over two variables P and Q.  

      F (P, Q) = ((1 `oplus` P) `oplus` (P `oplus` Q)) `oplus` ((P `oplus` Q) `oplus` (Q `oplus` O))

The equivalent expression for F is  


Options:
A .  P + Q
B .  `overline(P + Q)`
C .  P `oplus` Q
D .  `overline(P oplus Q)`
Answer: Option D

F (P, Q) = ((1 `oplus` P) `oplus` (P `oplus` Q)) `oplus` ((P `oplus` Q) `oplus` (Q `oplus` O))

= (`overline(P)` `oplus` (P`overline(Q)` + `overline(P)`Q)) `oplus` ((P`overline(Q)` + `overline(P)`Q) `oplus` Q)

=[`overline(P)`(PQ + `overline(P)` `overline(Q)`) + P(P`overline(Q)` + `overline(P)`Q)] `oplus` [(PQ + `overline(P)` `overline(Q)`) Q + (P`overline(Q)` + `overline(P)`Q)`overline(Q)`]

=(`overline(P)` `overline(Q)` + P`overline(Q)`) `oplus` (PQ + P`overline(Q)`)      = `overline(Q)` `oplus` P         = PQ + `overline(P)` `overline(Q)` = `overline(P oplus Q)`
