A newly created computer program detects the presence of google chrome, media player and Maria DB on any computer it's installed. If none of the three is installed, the program won't run. The program will ONLY run if either google chrome or media player is running simultaneously with Maria DB. The program crushes if google chrome and media player are running simultaneously.
(a) Construct a fully complete truth table depicting all the possible combinations and outputs for the given requirements above. [10 Marks]
(b) Construct the corresponding K-map from the truth table in (a). [5 Marks]
(c) Derive and fully minimise the Boolean function from the K-map in (b). [5 Marks]
(d) Draw a fully labelled digital circuit diagram of the minimised circuit. [10 Marks]

Maybe more people would help if you spelled out the term karnaugh map, instead of calling them k maps.

@chembe,
Chembe, I am not happy about doing someone's homework for them. Do you want to take a shot at it, and then we can help you along?

@maxdancona,
iam thinking its about an exor gate ive done a bit on the boolean equation am stuck on the k maps

@chembe,
if it allows only one input then its an exor gate guide me i will finish when you help me with a clue

Do they tell you anything about karnaugh maps in the book you are using? You usually don't get xor gates from them. Each cluster of stuff that you circle in a karnaugh map become a list of boolean variables joined together with ands. You have a bunch of expressions like that strung together with ors.

You could construct a very efficient logic circuit here with a xor gate, but that isn't what they want.

Here's a template for how to do the problem:

that is were am finding it tricky the exor gates are fitting pretty well and the truth table depicts it with 16 combinations
