Correct option is (B).
in
Acquiescence – Acceptance without protect
ng
Submission – The Act of submitting
Wheedle – Influence and arguing by gentle urging, caressing as flattering.
ye
Round about – Deviation from a straight course
Flippancy – Inappropriate lavite (light mindedness)
as
Lightness – Having a light
Profligate – A dissolute men in fashionable society
.E
Extravagant – Recklessly wasteful
So, the pair Wheedle – Roundabout is not synonym.

She enjoyed herself immensely at the party.
Here immensely means to an exceedingly great extent or degree.

Similar sentence is given in option (C)

Here, terrific means very great or intense, extraordinary good or great.
However, the statements given in other options, give a different meaning as

ng
(I) Each step is 3 foot high.
4
(II)
(A)
ye
Each step is 1 foot wide.
Statement I alone is sufficient, but statement II alone is not sufficient.
(B) s
Statement II alone is sufficient, but statement I alone is not sufficient.
a
.E
(C) Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is
sufficient.
w
(D) Statement I and II together are not sufficient.
Sol. 4
Given w
Correct option is (A).
w
Distance between two floors of building = 9 feet
Height of each step = 34 (Statement I)
Width of each step = 1 (Statement II)
Using the data give in statement I, we may calculate the number of steps in a set
of stairs as
n = 9 # 4 = 12 step
3
So, statement I is sufficient to give the answer.
However, there is no use of width given in statement II to calculate number of
required steps in set of stairs. So, width of foot can be anything, and it is not
sufficient to obtain the number of steps.

Thus, statement I alone is sufficient, but statement II alone is not sufficient.

Given maxterm representation,
en
f Â, B, C, D h = Π M ^0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15h
So, the minterm representation for the Boolean function is

From the K-map, we have

In option (C), the expression is
ye = ACD + AB D + AB C D
= ACD + AB D ^1 + C h
as = ACD + AB D
This is same as that obtained from the K-map. Hence, the equivalent minimized

representation of the given function is
ACD + ABCD + ABCD

A 50 Hz generating unit has H -constant of 2 MJ/MVA. The machine is initially
w
operating in steady state at synchronous speed, and producing 1 pu of real power.

The initial value of the rotor angle δ is 5c, when a bolted three phase to ground
short circuit fault occurs at the terminal of the generator. Assuming the input
mechanical power to remain at 1 pu, the value of δ in degrees, 0.02 second after
the fault is______
Given
Inertia constant, H = 2 MJ/MVA.
Initial rotor angle = 5c
Pm = 1 P.U.
Here, mechanical momentum is
