Question 3 Maharashtra Board Solution
Give an alternative equivalent simple circuits for the following circuits : (i)
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
(i) Let p : the switch S1 is closed q : the switch S2 is closed ~ p : the switch S1‘ is closed or the switch Si is open Then the symbolic form of the given circuit is : p ∧ (~p ∨ q). Using the laws of logic, we have, p ∧ (~p ∨ q) = (p ∧ ~ p) ∨ (p ∧ q) …(By Distributive Law) = F ∨ (p ∧ q) … (By Complement Law) = p ∧ q… (By Identity Law) Hence, the alternative equivalent simple circuit is :

(ii)

Let p : the switch S1is closed
q : the switch S2is closed
r : the switch S3is closed
~q : the switch S2‘ is closed or the switch S2is open
~r : the switch S3‘ is closed or the switch S3is open.
Then the symbolic form of the given circuit is :
[p ∧ (q ∨ r)] ∨ (~r ∧ ~q ∧ p).
Using the laws of logic, we have
[p ∧ (q ∨ r)] ∨ (~r ∧ ~q ∧ p)
≡ [p ∧ (q ∨ r)] ∨ [ ~(r ∨ q) ∧ p] …. (By De Morgan’s Law)
≡ [p ∧ (q ∨ r)] ∨ [p ∧ ~(q ∨ r)] … (By Commutative Law)
≡ p ∧ [(q ∨ r) ∨ ~(q ∨ r)) … (By Distributive Law)
≡ p ∧ T … (By Complement Law)
≡ p … (By Identity Law)
Hence, the alternative equivalent simple circuit is :

Question 4 Maharashtra Board Solution
Write the symbolic form of the following switching circuits construct its switching table and interpret it. i)
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Let p : the switch S1 is closed q : the switch S2 is closed ~p : the switch S1‘ is closed or the switch S1 is open ~ q : the switch S2‘ is closed or the switch S2 is open. Then the symbolic form of the given circuit is : (p ∨ ~q) ∨ (~p ∧ q) Since the final column contains all’ 1′, the lamp will always glow irrespective of the status of switches.

ii)

Solution:
Let p : the switch S1is closed
q : the switch S2is closed
~p : the switch S1is closed or the switch S1is open.
~q : the switch S2‘ is closed or the switch S2is open.
Then the symbolic form of the given circuit is : p ∨ (~p ∧ ~q) ∨ (p ∧ q)

Since the final column contains ‘0’ when p is 0 and q is ‘1’, otherwise it contains ‘1′.
Hence, the lamp will not glow when S1is OFF and S2is ON, otherwise the lamp will glow.

iii)

Solution:
Let p : the switch S1is closed
q : the switch S2is closed
r : the switch S3is closed
~q : the switch S2‘ is closed or the switch S2is open
~r: the switch S3‘ is closed or the switch S3is open.
Then the symbolic form of the given circuit is : [p ∨ (~q) ∨ r)] ∧ [p ∨ (q ∧ r)]

From the switching table, the ‘final column’ and the column of p are identical. Hence, the lamp will glow which S1is ‘ON’.
