f1 = ∑(0,2,3,5,7,8,11,13)
f2 = ∑(1,3,5,7,11,13,15)

Y =Π(3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,14,15)
C
Y =∑(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
D
Y =Π(8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)

Correct : c,d

Explanation:
Let us evaluate the output of each logic gate step-by-step using minterm sets to find the final expression for Y.
1. Analyze the AND Gate Output:
The inputs to the AND gate are f1 and f2. The logical AND operation corresponds to the intersection (∩) of their minterm sets (the minterms present in both functions).
• f1 = {0, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13}
• f2 = {1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 15}

    OutputAND = f1 ∩ f2 = {3, 5, 7, 11, 13}

2. Analyze the OR Gate Output:
The inputs to the OR gate are f3 and f4. The logical OR operation corresponds to the union (∪) of their minterm sets (combining all elements from both functions).
• f3 = {0, 1, 4, 11}
• f4 = {0, 2, 6, 13}

    OutputOR = f3 ∪ f4 = {0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 11, 13}

3. Analyze the Final XOR Gate Output (Y):
The final output Y is the XOR of OutputAND and OutputOR. The logical XOR operation corresponds to the symmetric difference (Δ) of the two sets (elements that are in either of the sets, but not both).
• OutputAND = {3, 5, 7, 11, 13}
• OutputOR = {0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 11, 13}

Let's find the common elements (intersection) first:
• Common minterms shared by both paths = {11, 13}

Filter out these common elements from the combined set to get the symmetric difference:
    Y = ∑(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

4. Evaluate the Minterm Options:
Option (a): Y = ∑(0, 1, 2, 11, 13) — Incorrect.
Option (c): Y = ∑(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) — Correct.

5. Convert to Maxterm Form:
Since this is a 4-variable function, the total possible minterms span from 0 to 15. The product-of-maxterms (∏) expression consists of all the numbers missing from our sum-of-minterms list:
    Missing terms = {8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}
    Y = ∏(8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

Option (b): Y = ∏(3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15) — Incorrect.
Option (d): Y = ∏(8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) — Correct.

6. Conclusion:
Options c and d are the logically valid statements for this digital network.
