INSTRU CTIONS
1. IMMEDIATELY AFI'ER THE COMMENC EMENT OF THE EXAMINATION, YOU SHOULD CHECK THAT
THIS TEST BOOKLET DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNPRINTE D OR TORN OR MISSING PAGES OR ITEMS,
ETC. IF SO, GET IT REPLACED BY A COMPLET E TEST BOOKLET.
2. Please note that it is the candidate 's responsibi lity to encode and fill in the Roll Number and Test
Booklet Series . Code A, B, C or D carefully and without any omission or discrepan cy at the
appropria te places in the OMR Answer Sheet. Any omission/ discrepanc y will render the Answer
Sheet liable for rejection.
3. You have to enter your Roll Number on the
Test Booklet in the Box provided alongside.
DO NOT write anything else on the Test Booklet.
4. This Test Booklet contains 150 items (questions). Each item comprises four responses (answers). You
will select the response which you want to mark on the Answer Sheet. In case, you feel that there is
more than one correct response, mark the response which you consider the best. In any case, choose
ONLY ONE response for each item.
5. You have to mark your responses ONLY on the separate Answer Sheet provided. See directions in
the Answer Sheet.
6. All items carry equal marks.
7. Before you proceed to mark in the Answer Sheet the response to various items in the Test Booklet,
you have to fill in some particular s in the Answer Sheet as per instructio ns sent to you with your
Admission Certificate.
8. After you have completed filling in all your responses on the Answer Sheet and the examinati on has
concluded, you should hand over to the Invigilator only the Answer Sheet. You are permitted to
take away with you the Test Booklet.
9. Sheets for rough work are appended in the Test Booklet at the end.
10. Penalty for wrong answers :
THERE WILL BE PENALTY FOR WRONG ANSWERS MARKED BY A CANDIDA TE.
(i) There are four alternative s for the answer to every question. For each question for which a wrong answer
has been given by the candidate, one-third (0·88) of the marks assigned to that question will be
deducted as penalty.
(ii) If a candidate gives more than one answer, it will be treated as a wrong answer even if one of the given
answers happens to be correct and there will be same penalty as above to that question.
(iii) If a question is left blank, i.e., no answer is given by the candidate, there will be no penalty for that
question.

139. Statement (I) :
Phase lag network is used to increase stability
as well as bandwidth of the system.
Statement (II) :
Phase lead network increases bandwidth of
the system.
140. &tatement (!):
The inductor is not used to fabricate a lag
network as it produces time· delay and
hysteresis loss.
\
Statement (II) :
A capacitor cannot be used to fabricate a lag
network.
141. Statement (I):
Roots of closed-loop control systems can be
obtained from the Bode plot.
Statement (II) :
Nyquist criterion does not give direct value of
corner frequencies.
142. Statement (I):
The IGBT makes use of the advantages of
both powers MOSFET and BJT.
Statement (II) :
The IGBT has MOS input characteristic and
bipolar output characteristic.
143. Statement (I) :
The power distribution systems are 3-phase
4-wire circuits.
Statement (II) :
A neutral wire is necessary to supply
single-phase loads of domestic and marginal
commercial consumers.
144. Statement (I) :
The maximum torque of an induction motor is
independent of rotor resistance.
Statement (II) :
The slip at which the maximum torque occurs
is directly proportional to rotor resistance.
( 24 - A)
145. Statement (I):
A 3-phase induction motor is a self-starting
machine.
Statement (II) :
A star-delta start.P.r is used to produce
starting torque for the induction motor.
146. Statement (I):
Leakage reactance of the lower cage in a
double-squirrel-cage motor is considerably
higher than that of the upper cage.
Statement (11) :
The lower cage has high permeance for
leakage flux.
147. Statement (1) :
Superconducting compounds and alloys must
have components which are themselves
superconducting.
Statement (11) :
Metals and compounds which· are
superconducting are rather bad conductors at
ordinary temperatures.
148. Statement (1) :
The relative dielectric constant of an ｩｮｾｵｬ｡ｴｯｲ＠
decreases with increase in the frequency of
the applied alternating field.
Statement (II) :
With increase in frequency of the applied
field, polarization process increases.
149. Statement (I) :
One series RC circuit and the other series
RL circuit are connected in parallel across an
ac supply. The circuit exhibits two resonances
when L is variable.
Statement (II) :
The circuit has two values of L for which the
imaginary part of the input admittance of the
circuit is zero.
150. Statement (1) :
The power available from wind is directly
proportional to V3, where vis the velocity.
Statement (11) :
Drag type wind turbines have lower speeds
and high torque capabilities.
