Logic Practice Paper: Answer Sheet
Model answers, working and marking points for the Logic Practice Paper.
How to Use This Answer Sheet
Try the practice paper first, then compare. For calculations, check each step, not just the final answer. For written answers, the model answers show the points a marker looks for — your wording can be different, and other sensible choices with good reasons also earn marks.
Circuit 1
X = 0
| A | B | C | P | R | S | X |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Try it: Compare the X column with A · (B + C).
Circuit 2
X = 0
| p | q | r | T | U | V | X |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |

| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Try it: Compare the X column with p + q · r̄.
Circuit 3
X = 1
| A | B | C | P | R | S | T | X |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Try it: Compare the X column with Ā · (B̄ + C).
Part 2 — The Warehouse Sprinklers
| (a) Inputs and outputs | ||
|---|---|---|
Defining W as 1 = pressure normal means a fault is . You could instead define "W = 1 when the pressure is too low" — then F = W and Y uses . Either is correct if it is stated clearly.
(d) Circuits
