2. Implement a digital circuit with minimum number of logic gates for the given proposition
An air-conditioning system in a storage warehouse is to be turned on if one or more of the
following three conditions occurs:
1. the weight of the stored material is greater than 200 tonnes, the relative humidity is at
least 60 percent, and the temperature is below 40 degrees;

4 Implement the function Y= A𝐵 ′ + 𝐵 ′ 𝐶 ′ + 𝐴′ 𝐵𝐶 using 4 to 1 multiplexer and an inverter
(5 Marks)

5. Implement a JK Flip Flop with D flip flop and minimum number of logic gates.
(5 Marks)

6. In a simple copy machine, a stop signal, S, is to be generated to stop the machine operation
whenever either of the following conditions exists: (5 Marks)
(1) There is no paper in the paper feeder tray( P = 0 )or
(2) The two micro switches in the paper path both are activated(R = 1 and Q = 1), indicating
a jam in the paper path. The presence of paper in thefeeder tray is indicated by a HIGH at
logic signal P.
Design the logic circuit to produce a HIGH at output signal S for the stated conditions
