It is homework. I don't even know where to start. I edited my question with diagrams
of a FS and 4-1 MUX. user27476 Aug 14 '13 at 11:04

vote since there are two outputs(sub and borrow) we have to select 2 multiplexers. Start with
-1 the truth table of full subtractor. Use karnaugh maps(it will make your life simpler). Select
down 2 variables as your select line. For example B and C in my case. The truth table is as
