Question 17 Explanation:
f(w,x,y,z) = Σm(0,1,2,3,7,8,10) + Σd(5,6,11,15)
K-Map for the function f is

Consider maxterms in K-map to represent function in product-of-sums (POS) form
f(w,x,y,z) = (w’ + z’)(x’ + z)
K-Map for the function f is

Consider maxterms in K-map to represent function in product-of-sums (POS) form
f(w,x,y,z) = (w’ + z’)(x’ + z)
