A source generates three symbols with probabilities $0.25,0.25,0.50$ at a rate of $3000$ symbols per second. Assuming independent generation of symbols, the most efficient source encoder would have average bit rate as

  1. $6000 \; \mathrm{bits} / \mathrm{sec}$
  2. $4500 \; \mathrm{bits} / \mathrm{sec}$
  3. $3000 \; \mathrm{bits} / \mathrm{sec}$
  4. $1500 \; \mathrm{bits} / \mathrm{sec}$
