Solution(By Examveda Team)

A paper tape reader used as an input device to a computer has five rows of holes as shown below. A hole punched in the tape indicates logic 1 and no hole indicates logic 0. Therefore, a valid character punched on the tape will have at least one hole, but will not have all five holes punched.
