The operating conditions (ON = 1, OFF = 0) of three pumps (x,y,z) are to be monitored. x = 1 implies that pump X is on. It is required that the indicator (LED) on the panel should glow when a majority of the pumps fail.

(a) Enter the logical values in the K-map in the format shown in figure 3(a). Derive the minimal Boolean sum-of-products expression whose output is zero when a majority of the pumps fail.
(b) The above expression is implemented using logic gates, and point P is the output of this circuit, as shown in figure 3(b). P is at 0 V when a majority of the pumps fails and is at 5 V otherwise. Design a circuit to drive the LED using this output. The current through the LED should be 10 mA and the voltage drop across it is 1V. Assume that P can source or sink 10 mA and a 5 V supply is available.

A TEM wave is incident normally upon a perfect conductor. The E and H fields at the boundary will be respectively

The magnitudes of the open-circuit and short-circuit input impedances of a transmission line are 100$$\Omega \,$$ and 25$$\Omega \,$$ respectively. The characteristic impedance of the line is

A uniform plane wave in air impinges at 45° angle on a lossless dielectric material with dielectric constant $${\varepsilon _r}$$. The transmitted wave propagates in a 30° direction with respect to the normal. The value of $${\varepsilon _r}$$ is
