Count the number of literals in the following expression :
F = AB' + BC' + CD' + DE'
According to me, the answer should be 8. But my solution suggests that the answer should be 6. Can anyone help me out. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Does your material use the (strange) convention of notating $\neg A$ as $A'$?
If so, there are 6 literals (5 without the LHS). If $A'$ is distinct from $A$, there are 9 (8 without LHS) and the solution book is wrong.
