Network topology is the arrangement of the elements of a communication network. Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks, industrial fieldbusses and computer networks.
Advantages:
It is easy to handle and implement. 
It is best suited for small networks.
Disadvantages:
The cable length is limited. This limits the number of stations that can be connected. 
This network topology can perform well only for a limited number of nodes.

Answer:
For question a, it simplifies.  If you re-express it in boolean algebra, you get:
(a + b) + (!a + b)
= a + !a + b
= b
So you can simplify that circuit to just:
x = 1 if b = 1
(edit: or rather, x = b)
For question b, let's try it:
(!a!b)(!b + c)
= !a!b + !a!bc
= !a!b(1 + c)
= !a!b
So that one can be simplified to 
a = 0 and b = 0
I have no good means of drawing them here, but hopefully the simplification helped!
