Question 1:
Assertion: The result of the Boolean expression (A AND B) OR (A AND NOT B) is always equal to A.
Reasoning: Applying Distributive law , Idempotent law and properties of 1 we get the final expression A
(a) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is the correct explanation for A
(b) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
(c) Assertion is True but Reasoning is False
(d) Assertion is false but Reasoning is True
A.B + A.B’
= A.(B+B’) [ Distributive law]
=A.1 [ Idempotent law]
=A [Properties of 1 ]
Correct answer (a)
Question 2:
Assertion: The Boolean expression (A AND NOT B) OR (B AND NOT A) is a contingency.
Reasoning: The given expression contains two terms connected by the OR operation. The term (A AND
NOT B) will be true when A is true and B is false, and the term (B AND NOT A) will be true when B is
true and A is false. Since only one of the terms needs to be true for the entire expression to be true it is a
tautology
(a) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is the correct explanation for A
(b) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
(c) Assertion is True but Reasoning is False
(d) Assertion is false but Reasoning is True
A B A’.B A.B’ A’.B+A.B’
0 0 0 0 0
0 1 1 0 1
1 0 0 1 1
1 1 0 0 0
Correct answer (c)
Question 3:
Assertion: An Octal to Binary encoder consists of 7 input lines and 4 output lines
Reasoning: An octal numbers consists of 8 digits from 0 to 7 and their binary values can be represented
using 3 bits.
(a) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is the correct explanation for A
(b) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
(c) Assertion is True but Reasoning is False Correct answer (d)
(d) Assertion is false but Reasoning is True
Question 4:
Assertion: NAND and NOR gates are universal gates.
Reasoning: NAND gate is complemented AND gate and NOR gate is complemented OR gate
(a) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is the correct explanation for A
(b) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
(c) Assertion is True but Reasoning is False
(d) Assertion is false but Reasoning is True
Universal gates are gates which can be used to implement fundamental gates. How that can
be done is not explained in reasoning. Correct answer (b)
Question 5:
Assertion: If A=”It is cloudy” B=”It will rain” then inverse of the conditional is “If it is not cloudy then
it will not rain”
Reasoning: Converse of a conditional is obtained by interchanging negated antecedent and negated
consequent
(a) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is the correct explanation for A
(b) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
(c) Assertion is True but Reasoning is False
(d) Assertion is false but Reasoning is True Correct answer (a)
Question 6:
Assertion: The boolean expression of sum and carry term of a half adder is equivalent to two variable
XOR gate and AND gate respectively
Reasoning: Sum term will produce 1 for even number of 1 and carry term will produce 1 for odd number
of 1’s
(a) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is the correct explanation for A
(b) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
(c) Assertion is True but Reasoning is False
(d) Assertion is false but Reasoning is True
A B Sum Carry A’.B+A.B’
0 0 0 0 0
0 1 1 0 1
Correct answer (c)
1 0 1 0 1
1 1 0 1 0
Question 7:
Assertion : Multiplexer’s are used in remote control of TV, Car , A.C’s to select a specific
signal form many available options
Reasoning : A multiplexer has 2 n input lines and one output line, where n is the number of
selection lines.
a. Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and Reasoning is the correct explanation of
Assertion
b. Both Assertion and Reasoning are true but Reasoning is not the correct explanation of
Assertion
c. Assertion is true but Reasoning is false Correct answer (b)
d. Assertion is false but Reasoning is true
Question 8:
Assertion : XNOR gate is complement of XOR gate
Reasoning : Because applying De Morgan’s Law we get (A’.B+AB’)’ =(A+B’).(A’+B)
a. Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and Reasoning is the correct explanation of
Assertion
b. Both Assertion and Reasoning are true but Reasoning is not the correct explanation of
Assertion
c. Assertion is true but Reasoning is false
d. Both Assertion and Reasoning is false Correct answer (a)
Question 9:
Assertion : The reduced expression of the K map given below is A’
Reasoning : The correct answer is B as both variables A and C are changing signs
a. Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and Reasoning is the correct explanation of
Assertion
b. Both Assertion and Reasoning are true but Reasoning is not the correct explanation of
Assertion
c. Assertion is true but Reasoning is false
d. Assertion is false but Reasoning is true Correct answer (d)
Question 10:
Assertion : If A=0 B=1 C=0 and D=1 then its minterm is A’.B.C’.D
Reason : The sum term must be 0 so the minterm is A+B’+C+D’
a. Both Assertion and Reasoning are true and Reasoning is the correct explanation of
Assertion
b. Both Assertion and Reasoning are true but Reasoning is not the correct explanation of
Assertion
c. Assertion is true but Reasoning is false
d. Assertion is false but Reasoning is true
The product term must be 1. So A and C are complemented Correct answer (c)
