Design a digital system to assess the values of two 2-bit binary numbers.

The  system  has  two  2-bit  inputs  p  =  p1 p0  and  q  =  q1 q0,  and  one  1-bit  output  w.   The

2-bit inputs p and q take one of the four values 00, 01, 10, and 11, which are the 2-bit binary representations  of  the  decimal  numbers  0,  1,  2  and  3,  respectively.   The  1-bit  output  w  is required  to  have  value  1    if  and  only  if    p  and  q  are  both  odd,  or  p  and  q  are  both  even, recalling that in decimal, 0 and 2 are even while 1 and 3 are odd.

As  a  first  step  in  the  design  process,  complete  the  Karnaugh  map  (K-map)  for this system.
