Question 1

What is Boolean logic?

Answer 1

A form of algebra that uses truth values (true and false) to perform logical operations.

Question 2

True or False: Boolean logic was developed by George Boole.

Answer 2

True

Question 3

What are the basic operations of Boolean logic?

Answer 3

AND, OR, and NOT

Question 4

Fill in the blank: The result of the AND operation is true only if both operands are ______.

Answer 4

true

Question 5

What is the result of the logical OR operation if at least one operand is true?

Answer 5

true

Question 6

True or False: The NOT operation negates the value of its operand.

Answer 6

True

Question 7

What symbol is commonly used to represent the AND operation?

Answer 7

&& or ∧

Question 8

What symbol is commonly used to represent the OR operation?

Answer 8

|| or ∨

Question 9

What symbol is commonly used to represent the NOT operation?

Answer 9

¬ or !

Question 10

True or False: The expression A AND B is true if A is true and B is false.

Answer 10

False

Question 11

What is the truth table for the AND operation?

Answer 11

true AND true = true; true AND false = false; false AND true = false; false AND false = false

Question 12

What is the truth table for the OR operation?

Answer 12

true OR true = true; true OR false = true; false OR true = true; false OR false = false

Question 13

What is the truth table for the NOT operation?

NOT true = false; NOT false = true

Question 14

Fill in the blank: In Boolean algebra, the expression A OR NOT A is always ______.

Answer 14

true

Question 15

What is a Boolean variable?

Answer 15

A variable that can hold one of two possible values: true or false.

Question 16

True or False: The expression A AND (B OR C) is equivalent to (A AND B) OR (A AND C).

Answer 16

True

Question 17

What is the principle of duality in Boolean algebra?

Answer 17

The principle that every algebraic expression is valid if all operators are swapped between AND and OR, and all identity elements are swapped.

Question 18

What is a truth table?

Answer 18

A table that shows all possible truth values for a set of logical expressions.

Question 19

Fill in the blank: The commutative property of AND states that A AND B is equal to ______.

Answer 19

B AND A

Question 20

What is the distributive property in Boolean algebra?

Answer 20

A AND (B OR C) = (A AND B) OR (A AND C)

Fill in the blank: A NOR gate is a combination of ______ and NOT.

Answer 24

OR

Question 25

What is a NAND gate?

Answer 25

A logic gate that produces an output that is false only if all its inputs are true.

Question 26

True or False: XOR stands for exclusive OR.

Answer 26

True

Question 27

What is the output of an XOR gate if both inputs are true?

Answer 27

false

Question 28

What is a logical expression?

Answer 28

An expression that combines Boolean variables and operators to yield a Boolean result.

Question 29

Fill in the blank: The output of a NAND gate is true unless ______.

Answer 29

all inputs are true

Question 30

What is the output of a NOR gate if at least one input is true?

Answer 30

false

Question 31

True or False: The De Morgan's theorem states that NOT (A AND B) is equivalent to NOT A OR NOT B.

Answer 31

True

Answer 33

A

Question 34

What is a minterm in Boolean algebra?

Answer 34

A product term in a Boolean expression that yields a true output for exactly one combination of variable inputs.

Question 35

What is a maxterm in Boolean algebra?

Answer 35

A sum term in a Boolean expression that yields a false output for exactly one combination of variable inputs.

Question 36

True or False: The consensus theorem states that A AND B OR NOT A AND C OR B AND C is equivalent to A AND B OR NOT A AND C.

Answer 36

True

Question 37

What is the purpose of simplifying Boolean expressions?
