Q.Distinguish between min term and max term.

A minterm is a product (AND) term containing all the variables of a function that equals 1 for exactly one input combination; a maxterm is a sum (OR) term containing all the variables that equals 0 for exactly one input combination. …

[!TLDR]

A minterm is a full-variable AND term true for one input combination (SOP building block); a maxterm is a full-variable OR term false for one input combination (POS building block).

Minterms and maxterms are the standard product and sum terms used to write canonical Boolean expressions.

Minterm (denoted $m_i$): a product (AND) term that includes every variable of the function exactly once, complemented or not. It has the value 1 for one and only one input combination — the row it represents. Within a minterm a variable appears complemented if its value in that row is 0, and uncomplemented if 1. Minterms correspond to the output-1 rows and are summed to give the SOP form. …
