    For each transistor M1, M2 and M2
    VGS = VDS i.e. VDS > VGS – VTN
    Therefore all the transistor are in saturation Given that

    k′n = 36 µA/V2
    ID = 0.5 mA
    V1 = 5 VS V2 = 2 V

    For both transistor M1 and M2
    VDS = VGS
    ∴ VDS > VGS – VTN therefore both the transistor are in saturation
    ID1 = ID2
    ID1 = Kn1 (VGS1 – VTN1 )2
    = Kn2 (VGS2 – VTN2)2 …(A)
    Kn1 = Kn2 and VTN1 = VTN2
    on expanding equation
    V2GS1 + V2TN1 – 2VGS1 = V2GS2 + V2TN2 – 2VGS2
    or V2GS1 + V2GS2 = 2 (VGS1 – VGS2) …(B)
    from given figure,
    VGS1 + VGS2 = 5 …(C)
    V2GS1 – (5 – VGS1 )2 = 2 (VGS1 – VGS1 + 5)
    V2GS1 – 25 – V2GS1 + 10 VGS1 = 10
    10 VGS1 = 35
    or VGS1 = 3.5
    VGS2 = 5 – VGS1 = 5 – 3.5 = 1.5 V
    So, V0 = 5 – VGS1 = VGS2 = 1.5 V


    Correct Option: A

    VDS = VGS
    ∴ VDS > VGS – VTN therefore both the transistor are in saturation
    ID1 = ID2
    ID1 = Kn1 (VGS1 – VTN1 )2
    = Kn2 (VGS2 – VTN2)2 …(A)
    Kn1 = Kn2 and VTN1 = VTN2
    on expanding equation
    V2GS1 + V2TN1 – 2VGS1 = V2GS2 + V2TN2 – 2VGS2
    or V2GS1 + V2GS2 = 2 (VGS1 – VGS2) …(B)
    from given figure,
    VGS1 + VGS2 = 5 …(C)
    V2GS1 – (5 – VGS1 )2 = 2 (VGS1 – VGS1 + 5)
    V2GS1 – 25 – V2GS1 + 10 VGS1 = 10
    10 VGS1 = 35
    or VGS1 = 3.5
    VGS2 = 5 – VGS1 = 5 – 3.5 = 1.5 V
    So, V0 = 5 – VGS1 = VGS2 = 1.5 V

    From fig. since gate is connected to the drain. Hence transistor will always in saturation.

    ID =
    10 – VGS
    = Kn (VGS – VTn)2
    10 kΩ

    10 – VGS = 0.2 × 10–3 × 10 × 103 (VGS – 2)2
    or 10 – VGS = 2 (VGS – 2)2
    After solving quadratic equation, we get
    VGS = – 0.27 V, 3.77 V VGS = – 0.27 is not possible since gate terminal is at 10 V. So, VGS = 3.77 V is taken
    i.e. VGS = VDS = 3.77 V
    ID =
    10 – 3·77
    = 0.623 mA
    10 kΩ

    Power = ID VDS = 0.623 × 10–3 × 3.77 = 2.35 mW
