Question

A flow rate sensing device used on a liquid transport pipeline functions as follows. The device provides a 5-bit output where all five bits are zero if the flow rate is less than 10 gallons per minute. The first bit is 1 if the flow rate is at least 10 gallons per minute; the first and second bits are 1 if the flow rate is at least 20 gallons per minute; the first, second, and third bits are 1 if the flow rate is at least 30 gallons per minute; and so on. The five bits, represented by the logical variables A, B, C, D, and E, are used as inputs to a device that provides two outputs Y and Z.
a. Write an equation for the output Y if we want Yto be 1 iff the flow rate is less than 30 gallons per minute.
b. Write an equation for the output Z if we want Z to be 1 iff the flow rate is at least 20 gallons per minute but less than 50 gallons per minute.
