Question 711 Explanation:

Throughput is a measure of how many units of information a system can process in a given amount of time
Given bandwidth is 10Mbps
Number of average frames 12,000 per minute.
Each Frame is carrying 10,000 bits
So, 12,000 * 10,000 / 60 seconds.
= 2 * 1000000 bits / seconds.
= 2 Mbps.
