and Kerala
(B) The regions in Tamil Nadu and Kerala that are near the Palghat Gap are low–lying
(C) The low terrain of the Palghat Gap has a significant impact on weather patterns in
neighbouring parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala

10. For a periodic square wave, which one of the following statements is TRUE?
(A) The Fourier series coefficients do not exist
(B) The Fourier series coefficients exist but the reconstruction converges at no point
(C) The Fourier series coefficients exist and the reconstruction converges at most points.

and tails is ( n − 3) is
(A) 2− n (B) 0 (C) n
C n −3 2− n (D) 2− n + 3
Answer: (B)
Exp: Let X = difference between the number of heads and tails.

electrodynamometer type, connected in series. The PMMC meter contains 100 turns in the
coil, the flux density in the air gap is 0.2 Wb / m 2 , and the area of the coil is 80 mm 2 . The
electrodynamometer ammeter has a change in mutual inductance with respect to deflection of
0.5 mH/deg. The spring constants of both the meters are equal. The value of current, at which
the deflections of the two meters are same, is ________________

frequency f1. If the load is partially removed, the frequency becomes f2. If the speed of the
generator is maintained at 1500 rpm in both the cases, then
(A) f1 f 2 > 50 Hz and f1 > f 2 (B) f1 < 50 Hz and f 2 > 50Hz

41. There are two generators in a power system. No-load frequencies of the generators are 51.5
Hz and 51Hz, respectively, and both are having droop constant of 1 Hz/MW. Total load in the
system is 2.5 MW. Assuming that the generators are operating under their respective droop
characteristics, the frequency of the power system in Hz in the steady state is __________.
Answer: 50
Exp: Given, two generators in a power system has no load frequency of 51.5 & 51 Hz.
∴ drop constant=1Hz/mW
Total load=2.5 mW
for generator '1', f = − x1 + 51.5
∴ − x1 + 51.5 = − x 2 + 51
⇒ x1 − x 2 = 0.5 ...(1)

By solving (1) & (2) ⇒ x1 = = 1.5

∴ f = −1.5 + 51.5 = 50 Hz

Analysis:
If you will observe the combinational circuit output expression which is the input for T flip
flop is not matching directly, so you should go through the option. If you will solve the
combinational circuit of option (B) then
(
T = ( J + Qn ) . K + Q n )
= J.K + JQ n + K.Q n + Q n Q n = J.K + JQ n + K.Q n + 0 ∵ Q n .Q n = 0 ( )
= J.K + J Q n + K.Q n
Now, according to consensus theorem J-K will become redundant term, so it should be
eliminated.
Hence, T = JQ n + K.Q n , which in matching with our desired result and option-(B) is correct
answer.

19. An LPF wattmeter of power factor 0.2 is having three voltage settings 300 V, 150 V and 75
V, and two current settings 5 A and 10 A. The full scale reading is 150. If the wattmeter is
used with 150 V voltage setting and 10 A current setting, the multiplying factor of the
wattmeter is _________.
Answer: 2
Exp: In LPF wattmeter, Td on the moving system is small owing to low power factor even when
the current and potential coils are fully excited. Also the errors introduced due to inductance
of pressure coil tend to be large at low power factors. So for calculating multiplying factor for
a low p.f. wattmeter, p.f. mentioned on the wattmeter should be taken into account.
Therefore,
Multiplying Factor = (Current range used*Voltage range used*p.f)/Power at FSD
Given, Power at Full scale reading = 150
Current Range used = 10 A
Voltage Range used = 150 V
Power Factor = 0.2
10 × 150 × 0.2
Therefore, m = =2

respectively. The varnish insulation is applied on both the sides of the laminations. The mean
thickness of one side insulation and its variance are 0.1 mm and 0.01 respectively. If the

variance of the core respectively are
(A) 30 mm and 0.22 (B) 30 mm and 2.44
(C) 40 mm and 2.44 (D) 40 mm and 0.24
Answer: (D) [Key form IIT website]
Exp: mean thickness of silicon steel laminations= 0.2 mm
variance of silicon steel lamination = 0.02
Vanish insulation applied both sides of laminations
Mean thickness of one side insulation=0.1 mm
variance of one side insulation=0.01
Transformer core made with 100 vanish coated laminations
Mean thickness of two side insulation applied to core
=2×0.1=0.2mm
∴ mean thickness of one lamination
= mean thickness of silicon steel + mean thickness of two side insulation
= 0.2+0.2=0.4 mm
100 laminations are using so
Mean thickness of core=0.4×100=40 mm

58. In the summer of 2012, in New Delhi, the mean temperature of Monday to

on Thursday was 15% higher than that of Monday, then the temperature in ºC on
Thursday was
(A) 40 (B) 43 (C) 46 (D) 49
Answer: (C)
Explanations:- Let the temperature of Monday be TM
Sum of temperatures of Tuesday and Wednesday = T and
Temperature of Thursday =TTh
Now, Tm + T = 41 × 3 = 123
& Tth + T = 43 × 3 = 129
∴ TTh − Tm = 6, Also TTh = 1.15Tm
∴0.15Tm = 6 ⇒ Tm = 40
∴ Temperature of thursday = 40 + 6 = 46O C

but returned four to the bowl. S took 1/4th of what was left but returned three
toffees to the bowl. T took half of the remainder but returned two back into the
bowl. If the bowl had 17 toffees left, how many toffees-were originally there in
the bowl?
(A) 38 (B) 31 (C) 48 (D) 41
Answer: - (C)
Exp: - Let the total number of toffees is bowl e x

65. The horse has played a little known but very important role in the field of
medicine. Horses were injected with toxins of diseases until their blood built up
immunities. Then a serum was made from their blood. Serums to fight with
diphtheria and tetanus were developed this way.
It can be inferred from the passage that horses were
(A) given immunity to diseases (B) generally quite immune to diseases
(C) given medicines to fight toxins (D) given diphtheria and tetanus serums
Answer: - (B)
Exp: - From the passage it cannot be inferred that horses are given immunity as in (A),
since the aim is to develop medicine and in turn immunize humans. (B) is correct
since it is given that horses develop immunity after some time. Refer “until their
blood built up immunities”. Even (C) is invalid since medicine is not built till
immunity is developed in the horses. (D) is incorrect since specific examples are
cited to illustrate and this cannot capture the essence.
