Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \bar{x} \cdot(\overline{\mathrm{a}}+\overline{\mathrm{b}})+\bar{y} \cdot(\overline{\mathrm{~b}}+\overline{\mathrm{c}})+\overline{\mathrm{z}} \cdot(\overline{\mathrm{c}}+\overline{\mathrm{a}}) \\ = & (\overline{\mathrm{a}}+\overline{\mathrm{b}}) \cdot \bar{x}+(\overline{\mathrm{b}}+\overline{\mathrm{c}}) \cdot \bar{y}+(\overline{\mathrm{c}}+\overline{\mathrm{a}}) \cdot \overline{\mathrm{z}} \\ & =\frac{[\overline{\mathrm{a}} \overline{\mathrm{b}} \overline{\mathrm{c}}]+0+[\overline{\mathrm{b}} \overline{\mathrm{c}} \overline{\mathrm{a}}]+0+[\overline{\mathrm{c}} \overline{\mathrm{a}} \overline{\mathrm{b}}]+0}{[\overline{\mathrm{a}} \overline{\mathrm{b}} \overline{\mathrm{c}}]} \\ = & 3\end{aligned}\)
