Question
Consider the multiplexer based logic circuit shown in the figure.


Correct answer
(D) F = W ⊕ S₁ ⊕ S₂
Solution
The output of the first 2:1 multiplexer with select line and inputs (at ) and (at ) is:
The second 2:1 multiplexer has select line and inputs (at ) and (at ). Its output is:
Substituting :
Thus, the correct option is (D).
The second 2:1 multiplexer has select line and inputs (at ) and (at ). Its output is:
