From fig I1 = 100 = 12.5 A
The voltage across load is 8

The circuit is as shown below :
We have y = A + AB
we know from Distributive property
x + yz = (x + y) (x + z)
Thus y = (A + A) (A + B) = A + B
5 .1 2 0 Option (C) is correct.
Darligton emitter follower provides a low output impedance in both
logical state (1 or 0). Due to this low output impedance, any stray
capacitance is rapidly charged and discharged, so the output state
Y = B + (B + C ) = B (B + C ) = B
changes quickly. It improves speed of operation.

For the shown received signal, we conclude that if 0 is the transmitted
E [X (t)] is the absolute value of mean of signal X (t) which is also
signal then the received signal will be also zero as the threshold is
equal to value of X (w) at (w = 0).
1 and the pdf of bit 0 is not crossing 1. Again, we can observe that
From given PSD
there is an error when bit 1 is received as it crosses the threshold.
The probability of error is given by the area enclosed by the 1 bit SX (w) w = 0 = 0

Case 2 : A1 A 2 A 3 > B1 B 2 B 3 Now Voter for P 40 - 6 = 34
