Question
**Boolean Expression Reduction**

**Problem 12:** Reduce the following Boolean expressions. 

*Note:* The apostrophe (') denotes the logical NOT operation.

For example, \( A'B \) means "Not A and B."

**Expressions:**

a. \( F = A'BC + AB'C + ABC' + ABC \)

b. \( Y = A'C \cdot (A' + B) \cdot (B' + C) \)

<br>

**Explanation:**

- The expression \( A'BC + AB'C + ABC' + ABC \) involves multiple terms, each representing a minterm in Boolean algebra, where each letter represents a variable that can either be true (1) or false (0).
- The expression \( A'C \cdot (A' + B) \cdot (B' + C) \) involves both AND (multiplication) and OR (addition) operations, with each operation needing appropriate handling according to Boolean laws. 

Use Boolean identities and laws, such as absorption, distribution, and De Morgan's theorems, to simplify these expressions.
