Question 1 Explanation:
Case (i): Switch \mathrm{S} is ON
Assume \mathrm{D}_{3} \rightarrow OFF, D_{2} \rightarrow OFF and \mathrm{D}_{1} \rightarrow \mathrm{ON}
Redraw the circuit :

\therefore Our assumption is correct.
Case (ii) : Switch \mathrm{S} is OFF.
Then, \mathrm{D}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{ON}, \mathrm{D}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{ON} and \mathrm{D}_{1} \rightarrow \mathrm{OFF}
Redraw the circuit :

\therefore Circuit satisfy this condition also.
Hence, option (B) and (C) will be correct.

Question 2 Explanation:

\begin{aligned} I_{C}&=\frac{5 \mathrm{~V}}{3.3 \mathrm{k}}=1.515 \mathrm{~mA} \\ I_{E}&=1.53 \mathrm{~mA} \\ I_{B}&=0.0151 \mathrm{~mA}\\ -12+1.2 \mathrm{k} \times 1.53 \mathrm{~m}+& 0.7+V_{B}=0 \\ V_{B} &=9.464 \mathrm{~V} \\ I_{x} &=\frac{12-V_{B}}{4.7 \mathrm{k}}=\frac{12-9.464}{4.7 \mathrm{k}}=0.539 \mathrm{~mA} \\ I_{x}+I_{B} &=I_{y} \\ \Rightarrow \qquad\qquad I_{y} &=0.5396+0.0151 \\ I_{y} &=0.5546 \mathrm{~mA} \\ V_{B} &=0.5546 \mathrm{~m} \times R_{2}=9.464 \\ R_{2} &=17.06 \mathrm{k} \Omega \end{aligned}

As, V_{DS}=V_{GS}
MOSFET is in saturation,
\begin{aligned} I_D&=\frac{1}{2}\mu _nC_{Ox}\left ( \frac{W}{L} \right )(V_{GS}-V_T)^2 \\ 5 \times 10^{-6}&=\frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times 10^{-6} \times 10 (V_{GS}-0.5)^2\\ V_{GS}&=0.6 \\ V_0&=600mV \end{aligned}
