Q. 1 Two matrices A and B are given below :
p q p2 + q2 pr + qs
A => H ; B=> H
r s pr + qs r2 + s2
If the rank of matrix A is N , then the rank of matrix B is

Given the two matrices,

Now, we have the matrix

If ^r2 + s2h - 2 2 = ^ps - rq h2 = 0

or ps - rq = 0
then rank of matrix B is 1, otherwise the rank is 2.
Thus, from the above results, we conclude that
If ps - rq = 0 , then rank of matrix A and B is 1.
If ps - rq ! 0 , then rank of A and B is 2.
i.e. the rank of two matrices is always same. If rank of A is N then rank of B
also N .

v = p cos a p t k m/s
2 2
At t = 3 s , the difference between the distance covered by the particle and the
magnitude of displacement from the origin is ______.
Sol. 2 Correct answer is (C).
Given the velocity of particle,
v = p cos pt
2 2
Since, the velocity of the particle is along x -axis. So, we have
v = dx

Therefore, the displacement of the particle from t = 0 (origin) to t = 3 is

Q. 3 Let d : ^ f v h = x2 y + y2 z + z2 x , where f and v are scalar and vector fields
respectively. If v = yi + zj + xk , then v : df is
(A) x2 y + y2 z + z2 x (B) 2xy + 2yz + 2zx
(C) x + y + z (D) 0
Sol. 3 Correct option is (A).
Given the relation
d : ^ f v h = x2 y + y2 z + z2 x ...(i)
where f , v are scalar and vector field respectively. From the properties of vector
field, we have
d : ^ f v h = v : ^df h - f ^d : v h
or v : ^df h = d : ^ f v h + f ^d : v h ...(ii)
Again, we have
v = yi + zj + xk
2y 2z 2x
So, d:v = + +
2x 2y 2z
=0
Therefore, we get
f ^d : v h = 0
Substituting it in equation (ii), we get
v : ^df h = d : ^ f v h
Thus, v : ^df h = x2 y + y2 z + z2 x [from equation (i)]

Sol. 6
w
We sketch the phasor diagram for three phase star connected load as
Since, line A to neutral voltage is

A = 10 15c V
So, for balance 3-phase, we have
B = 10 - 105c
and C = 10 - 225c
Therefore, the voltage of line B with respect to line C is
vBC = vB - vC
= 10 - 105c - 10 - 225c

Q. 7 A hollow metallic sphere of radius r is kept at potential of 1 Volt. The total

electric flux coming out of the concentric spherical surface of radius R ^> r h is
(A) 4pe 0 r (B) 4pe 0 r2
(C) 4pe 0 R (D) 4pe 0 R2
According to Gausss law, the total electric flux coming out of the concentric
spherical surface is equal to the charge enclosed by the surface, i.e.
Q = # D : ds
Since, the electric potential is defined as
Q
v =
4pe 0 r
So, Q = v # 4pe 0 r
= 4pe 0 r (since, v = 1 volt)
Hence, # D : ds = 4pe r0

Now, the Fourier transform pair for rectangular function is

Similarly, rect c t m * 4 sin C b 2w l = =

We consider the two signals S1 and S2 applied to Y and X deflection plates for

For 0 < t < T/2 , 0 < S1 < 1 and S2 = 1
At t = T , S1 = S2 = 0

2. If vi < - Vsat ; then the output voltage will be - Vsat
3. If - Vsat < vi < Vsat ; then the output voltage varies according to the applied
input.
For the given op-amp circuit, we assume that
- Vsat < vi < Vsat
So, we obtain the output for the corresponding input vi . Applying KCL at non-
inverting terminal of first op-amp, we have
vi - 0 + vi - x = 0

Current through the circuit is given by

The stable operating points are

At w 2 = 2 krad /s, V2 = 100 0 I 2 = 2 0c

Let the frequency of signal x (t ) be fx
After sampling the signal, the sampled signal has the frequency
fS - fx = 50 - fx
and fS + fx = 50 + fx
Now, the sampled signal is applied to an ideal low-pass filter with cut off frequency,
fc = 25 Hz
Since, the output of the filter carried a single frequency component of 20 Hz. So,
it is clear that only lower component (fs - fx ) passes through the filter, i.e.
fS - fx < 25
and fS - fx = 20
50 - fx = 20
fx = 50 - 20 = 30 Hz

Synchronous reactance, XS = 0.8 p.u.
Supplied power, P = 1 p.u.
Power, factor, cos f = 1

Given the power absorbed by load; P2 = 4 kW = 4000 W .

and the power factor is cos f 2 = 0.89 lagging
From the given circuit, voltage across load is V2 = 110 V
So, the current through the load is

I1 = N 2

where N1 = number of turns in primary winding

N2 = Number of turns in secondary winding.

I2 2
Therefore, I1 = I2 = 40.858+ - 27.13c

Since, it is required to improve the input power factor to unity. So, the input
current should be red. Therefore, the imaginary part of I1 should pass through

A compensating shunt capacitor is chosen such that Q # 0.25 kVAR , where
Q is the net reactive power consumed by the capacitor load combination. The
reactive power (in kVAR) supplied by the capacitor is ____.

Let, the output Q2 is initially high.
So, the output vo will be high for time period T2 .
For this period, Q2 = 0

So, the output of AND gate is low. Since, M1 is positive triggered. So, M1 will be
OFF for duration T2 .
After T2 time,
Q2 = 0
and Q2 = 1
So, the output of AND gate is 1; i.e. M1 is triggered. Hence, output Q1 is high
for duration T1 . Since, M2 is negative edge triggered, So M2 will be off for the
duration T1 and hence, output vo will be as
After T1 time, the output Q1 becomes low, and the M2 gets ON (due to negative
edge triggering). Hence, the output vo again goes high for duration T2 . Thus, the
