Right Answer is: D
SOLUTION
For dc analysis, we draw the equivalent circuit as
In both MOSFETs, gate voltage is . Since, both MOSFETs are identical, se we
have
Applying KCL at node , we have
or
In , voltage at drain terminal is obtained as
Similarly, for , we obtain
Assume that MOSFET is in saturation, so we have
The drain current for saturation region is defined as
Substituting the given values,
or
or
or
Thus,
i.e. MOSFET in saturation (our assumption is true). Hence, the obtained value of is valid, i.e.
