A file contains the following characters with the given frequencies:

  • a: $45$
  • b: $13$
  • c: $12$
  • d: $16$
  • e: $9$
  • f: $5$

What is the total number of bits required to encode the message 'bad' using a Huffman code generated from these frequencies?

  1. $9$
     
  2. $7$
     
  3. $6$
     
  4. $8$
