The number of silicon atoms per \(\text m^3\) is  \(5 × 10^{28}.\) This is doped simultaneously with \(5 × 10^{22}\) atoms per \(\text m^3\) of Arsenic and \(5 × 10^{20}\) per \(\text m^3\) atoms of Indium. The number of holes is:
(given that \(n_{i} = 1 . 5 \times 10^{16} ~\text m^{- 3}\))
1. \(4.51\times 10^{9}\)
2. \(4.99\times 10^{22}\)
3. \(1.56\times 10^{22}\)
4. \(3.33\times 10^{23}\)
