30 A simple combination lock is to be designed. The user selects a number between 0 and 7 by operating three
binary switches a, b and c. For example, if the user presses a=0, b=0, c=0; it means “000” or that the user
has keyed in the number “0” ; and if a=1, b=1, c=0 are pressed, it means “110” or the number “6” has
been keyed in, and so on. The lock opens if and only if the user keys in either a “2” or a “5”. Select the
correct logical function to implement the “lock open” command “ L ” (i.e. L = 1 means “open the lock”).
A) L =a + b’c’a
B) L =a’b’c’ + abc + abc’
C) L = ab + c’d
D) L = a’bc’ + ab’c
E) L = ac
