Not doing your homework for you, but will give a clue, think bit-wise comparisons based upon some bit of information in your "truth table".

I just wanted to point this out. There is a very important error in the truth table that you posted, it should be this:

A B C D Y
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 1 0
0 0 1 0 0

1 0 1 1 0
1 1 0 0 1
1 1 0 1 1  <--- notice this line (compared to original)
1 1 1 0 1
1 1 1 1 1

Without that correction, there is no way that this could work. And with the correction, it becomes pretty obvious that only A and B matter, so, concentrate on that.

Yea. I was able to figure out was wrong, noticed the mistake on my lab and we have finally learned kmaps which I have been using.
