Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

In the given logic circuit, F1F_1 and F2F_2 feed an AND gate whose output is ORed with F3F_3, so in minterm-set notation F=(F1∩F2)∪F3F = (F_1 \cap F_2) \cup F_3. Because minterm 88 is present in F=Σm(1,6,8,15)F = \Sigma m(1, 6, 8, 15) but not in F3=Σm(1,6,15)F_3 = \Sigma m(1, 6, 15), it must belong to F1∩F2F_1 \cap F_2, so 8∈F28 \in F_2. Conversely, minterm 4∈F14 \in F_1 is absent from FF, so 4∉F24 \notin F_2 (ruling out Σm(4,6)\Sigma m(4, 6), Σm(4,8)\Sigma m(4, 8), and Σm(4,6,8)\Sigma m(4, 6, 8)). Substituting F2=Σm(6,8)F_2 = \Sigma m(6, 8) gives (F1∩F2)∪F3={6,8}∪{1,6,15}=Σm(1,6,8,15)=F(F_1 \cap F_2) \cup F_3 = \{6, 8\} \cup \{1, 6, 15\} = \Sigma m(1, 6, 8, 15) = F.
