The Boolean theorem AB + A'C + BC = AB + A'C corresponds to
- A. (A + B).(A' + C).(B + C) = (A + B).(A' + C)
- B. AB + A'C + BC = AB + BC
- C. AB + A'C + BC = (A + B).(A' + C).(B + C)
- D. (A + B).(A' + C).(B + C) = AB + A'C
Answer: A. (A + B).(A' + C).(B + C) = (A + B).(A' + C)
Explanation: This is the dual of the Consensus Theorem. The Consensus Theorem states AB + A'C + BC = AB + A'C. The dual forms are obtained by swapping + and *.
