No 10^6*0.2*10^-3 will give 200 v and the max output is 12 v.
So it's option B.
So it's option B.

Gain = vo/vi
Vo = gain*vi
Vo = 100000*0.2*10^-3
Vo = 20v
As it is crossing more than the power supply we do not consider 20 v and the max output should be of only 12 v so the answer is 12.
Vo = gain*vi
Vo = 100000*0.2*10^-3
Vo = 20v
As it is crossing more than the power supply we do not consider 20 v and the max output should be of only 12 v so the answer is 12.

Vdiff = V+ - V-;
Here V+ dominates since Vdiff = +Ve.
As Non-inverting terminal dominates, the voltage does to +Vsat.
Here V+ dominates since Vdiff = +Ve.
As Non-inverting terminal dominates, the voltage does to +Vsat.

How to solve this?

Here the supply is only 12V. So the max Vo after the gain is only 12V.

In case of comparator if vin >0 [it means 0.2 is greater than reference] then vo is +vs[12v] and if vin<0 then vo will be -12 v.

12V is the wrong answer as the max output voltage is = 90% of 12 equal to 10.8~11V.

What is the equation we have to use here?

Since it is a comparator, if Voltage in (V+) is greater than the reference voltage, the output is the voltage in. if not, it is 0. (or the voltage at V-)
and this voltage is .2 mV greater than the reference
and this voltage is .2 mV greater than the reference
