Question

Hello. Please explain briefly, I want to learn how to get the correct answer to this. Thank you :)

Study the circuit below:
+12V
R2 is a light-dependent-resistor (LDR). It is
5000 when exposed to light and 1MQ when
R1=12K
covered. Each diodes has a forward voltage of
5V, so that the total voltage across it is 10V
when ON.
R2
Suppose:
VBE,ON = 0.7V
VCE,SAT = 0.6V
1. Assume that the LDR is exposed to light and diodes are ON and the BJT is forward active.
Is our assumption correct? If so, explain and verify. (If not, identify the state of the diodes and
BJT. Verify and explain why our assumption is incorrect.)
2. Assume that the LDR is covered.
What is the state of the diodes and the BJT? Explain and verify.
