Question One
a) 1 μs.
b) The output bit duration is one-fourth of the input bit duration, or ¼ μs.
c) The output bit rate is 4 Mbps.
d) frame rate is 1,000,000 frames per second.
Question Two
a.
 We can allocate 1 slot to the first channel with 100Kbps, 2 slots to the second channel
with 200Kbps and 4 to the channel with 400Kbps. Each frame carries 7 bits.
 The frame rate is 100,000 frames per second.
 The bit rates 700Kps.
 Hence the reconciled transfer rate will be 700Kbps
