The number of min-terms after minimizing the following Boolean expression is _______________ . $$$\left[ {D' + AB' + A'C + AC'D + A'C'D} \right]'$$$

Consider the operations

$$f\left( {x,y,z} \right) = X'YZ + XY' + Y'Z'$$ and
$$g\left( {x,y,z} \right) = X'YZ + X'YZ' + XY$$.

Which one of the following is correct?

The binary operator $$ \ne $$ is defined by the following truth table.

p	q	p$$ \ne $$q
0	0	0
0	1	1
1	0	1
1	1	0

Which one of the following is true about the binary operator $$ \ne $$?

Let $$ \oplus $$ denote the exclusive $$OR\left( {XOR} \right)$$ operation. Let $$'1'$$ and $$'0'$$ denote the binary constants. Consider the following Boolean expression for $$F$$ over two variables $$P$$ and $$Q$$:
$$F\left( {P,Q} \right) = \left( {1 \oplus P} \right) \oplus \left( {P \oplus Q} \right) \oplus \left( {P \oplus Q} \right) \oplus \left( {Q \oplus 0} \right)$$

The equivalent expression for $$F$$ is
