Volt across 24K = 6V due to virtual ground concept. So volt across 12K is 3V.
Vout = V12K + V24K = 3+6
Vout = 9 V
VCE = 15- Vout = 15-9 = 6V
Therefore P= VCE . IC = 6 V x 1A
P= 6 Watts

Given β is large so IB = 0 & IE = IC
Assuming BJT is in active
Applying KVL in Base. Emitter loop
2 – 0.7 = 1 K Ω x IE
IE = 1.3 mA
Now ICsat =

IR = I D
V 0 = - VT
Now, V01 = - VT
V01 – V02 = VT / n 2

VGS for each MOS is 2.5V
VT = 1 volt device parameter K = 40 µ A/v2
So ID = K (VGS – VT)2
= 40
ID = 90 µA

VZ = 7 volt IK = 0, R z = 10 Ω
Range of Vi = 10 to 16V
Range of voltage across 200 Ω = Vi- Vz = 3 to 9 volt
Range of current through 200 Ω = 15 to 45 mA

For the positive half of Vi
D1 is forward biased and Zener diode is in breakdown stage
V0 = 0.7 + 6.8 = 7.5 V
For the negative half of Vi D2 is forward biased.
V0 = - 0.7 V
