(3)

Q2) Draw the logic circuits and complete the truth tables for the following logic
statements and Boolean algebra statements: [10 Marks]

i) T = 1 if (switch K is ON or switch L is ON) OR (switch K is ON and


switch M is OFF) OR (switch M is ON)
(4)

ii) R = 1 if (switch A is ON and switch B is ON) AND (switch B is ON or


switch C is OFF)

Q3) A scenario is described below. In this case, produce the logic circuit and complete a
truth table to represent the scenario. [15 Marks]

a. A chemical process is protected by a logic circuit. There are three inputs to the logic
circuit representing key parameters in the chemical process. An alarm, X, will give
an output value of 1 depending on certain conditions in the chemical process. The
following table describes the process conditions being monitored:

An alarm, X, will generate the value 1 if:


either
reaction rate < 40 mol/l/sec or
concentration > 4 mol AND temperature > 115°C or
reaction rate >= 40 mol/l/sec AND temperature > 115°C

b. A power station has a safety system controlled by a logic circuit. Three inputs to the
logic circuit determine whether the output, S, is 1. When S = 1 the power station
shuts down.

Q4) A company selling CDs uses a unique 6-digit identification number for each CD
title. The right-most digit (position 1) is a check digit. [6 Marks]

For example,

654321 digit position

306149 identification number

check digit

The validity of the number and check digit is calculated as follows:

 Multiply each digit by its digit position


 Add up the results of the multiplications
 Divide the answer by 11
 If the remainder is 0, the identification number and check digit are valid
a) Show whether the following identification numbers are valid or not. You must show how
you arrived at your answer.
