A noiseless 3 kHz channel can't transmit binary bit at the rate
12000 bps
1000 bps
6000 bps
3000 bps
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Noiseless channel: Nyquist's Theorem - If the signal has V discrete levels over a transmission medium of bandwidth H, the maximum data rate = 2H log2 V bits/sec.

A noiseless 3-kHz channel cannot transmit binary signals at a rate exceeding 6000 bps (= 2 x 3000 log2 2).

I did not get this question? One HZ can carry 2 bits of information so I think 3kHz should carry 6 kHz, if not so then please clarify.

Answer will be C.

log2 to base 2 = 1.

So 2*3000*1 = 6000 answer.

Yes, the answer is c.

Answer should be 6000bps.

@All.

Please note that, it is given (cannot transmit at what rate) So answer 1200 is right because at 6000 and below 6000 transmissions is possible but not above 60000.

12000 is the right answer. I agree.

Well spotted @Monika.
