at, x = y/2 ⇒ u = [2.(y/2)] - y } / 2 ⇒ u = 0
at, x = (y/2) + 1 ⇒ u = [2.(y/2)+1] - y } / 2 ⇒ u = 1

on solving inequalities
38. B
Sol. f (x)= x3- 3x2- 24x + 100 on [-3, 3]
The given function is a polynomial and so continuous everywhere. Now we get derivative of the function to
option the critical points
f'(x) = 3x2- 6x - 24
or, x2- 2x - 8 = 0
x2- 4x + 2x - 8 = 0
x(x - 4)+ 2(x - 4) = 0
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
So, x = 4 and x =- 2
We consider the critical point that actually fall in the given interval. So we only take x =- 2. Now, we find
the function value at the critical point x =- 2 and end points x =- 3, x = 3.
f (-2) = (-2)3- 3(-2)2- 24(-2)+ 100
f (-2) = 128
f (-3) = (-3)3- 3(-3)2- 24(-3)+ 100
f (-3) = 172
f (3) = (3)3- 3(3)2- 24(3)+ 100
f (3) = 28
We have
f (-2) = 128, f (-3) = 172, f (3) = 28
From list of above values we can see that absolute minimum is 28 which occurs at x = 3.
39. B
Sol. Assume when both the diodes will be OFF.
In that case vo = vi /2
For proper clipping operation, both the diode can not be forward biased together. When both diodes are
off, we have
vo = vi /2
Let vp1, vn1 are voltage of anode and cathode of diode D1 and vp2 and vn2 are voltage of anode and
cathode of D2. So
vo =vp1 = vi /2
vo =vn1 = vi /2
To make both diodes forward biased
vp1 > -1 V & vn2 < -2 V
or, vo > -1 V & vo < -2 V
So vi =- 2 V to -4 V range does not allow proper clipping operation.
Hence, input voltage must be outside the range of - 2 V to - 4 V for proper clipping.

45. C
Sol. 10 KHz even symmetric square wave have frequency component present
10KHz, 30KHz, 50KHz, 70KHz
[only odd harmonics due to half wave symmetry]
Since bandpass filter is contered at 30KHz, 30KHz component will pass through
filter output is nearly perfect cosine wave at 10 KHz
Cosine in due to reason that signal in even signal.
46. From 1.25 to 1.30
Sol. When the machine is running as a generator
Field current Isn = 250/125 = 2 A

Load current IL = 50 A
Armature current Ia = IL + Isn = 50 + 2 = 52 A
Induced Emf Eg = 250 + 52(0.6) = 281.2 V
When the machine is running as a motor
Field current I'sn = 250/ 125 2A

Load current I'L = 50 A
Armature current I'a = I'L - I'sn = 50 - 2 = 48 A
Induced Emf Em = 250 - 48(0.6) = 221.2 V
For DC machine, flux Φ is constant, so
Ng /Eg = Nm /Em
So Speed ratio would be

49. A
Sol. Hysteresis loss in transformer
Ph = knf(Bmax)n
Where, the kn is the proportionality constant dependent on the characteristics and volume of material, n is
known as steinmetz exponents.
Bmax ∝ V/ f
Change in voltage and frequency is same, so Bmax is constant.

So, Ph ∝ f
Therefore percentage change in hysteris loss will be same as that of change in frequency
ΔPh = Δf = 10%
Eddy current loss is given by
Pe= ke (Bmax fδ)2
Where
δ = lamination thickness
Bmax = maximum flux density
f = frequency
ke = Proportionality constant
Again, Bmax ∝ V/f ⇒(Constant)
So, Pe ∝ f2
Pe1 / Pe2 = (f1)2 / (f2)2
f1/f2= f/(f+0.1f) = 1/1.1
Pe1 / Pe2 = (1/1.1)2
Pe2 = (1.1)2 Pe1

Pe2 = 1.21Pe1
Now, percentage change in eddy current loss
ΔPe = {(Pe2 -Pe1) / Pe1} x 100 % = {(1.21-1) /1} x 100 = 21 %

50. From 0.1090 to 0.1100
Sol. As active power in synchronous generator is given by
P = (EfVt/Xs) Sinδ {where Ef= 1.3 pu , Vt = 1 pu, Xs = 1.1 pu, P = 0.6 pu}
so, 0.6 = (1.3 x 1/1.1) Sinδ
so we get ⇒ δ = 30.504o
Reactive power is given by
51. 50
Sol. Since the generators are in parallel, they will operate at the same frequency (f ) at steady loss. Let load on
generator G1 is P1 and on G2 is P2.
Then we can write for generator G1
(51.5-f)/ P1 = droop constant
(51.5-f)/ P1 = 1
(51.5-f) = P1 .....(i)
Now in steady state total load is 2.5MW, so load by second generator is (2.5-P1). For G2 we write
(51-f)/(2.5-P1) = 1
(51-f) = (2.5-P1) .......(ii)
Adding eq (i) and (ii), we get
51.5 - f + 51 - f = P1+ 2.5 - P1

102.5 - 2f = 2.5
2f = 100
f = 50 Hz

For ammeter Y, Let shunt resistor be Rmy
Equivalent resistance of ammeter X
Rx = (Rmx||Rsnx) = (1.2)||(0.0121) ≈ 0.0121 Ω
Similarly RY = 0.0254 Ω
When connected in parallel, current in the circuit is 15 A, so current through ammeter X
Ix = {Rx / (Rx + Ry) } x 15 ={0.0121/(0.0121+0.0254)} x 15 = 10.16 A

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:
Now, according to consensus theorem J-K will become redundant term, so it should be eliminated.
Hence, which in matching with our desired result and option-(B) is correct answer.

x2 -2x +3 = -11 or x2 -2x +14 = 0 .......(i)

from equation (ii)

Discriminant; Δ = b2 -4ac <0

from equation (i)

So, roots of equation (i) will be real.

|-x3+x2-x| = |-(-2)3 + (-2)2-(-2)| = |8+4+2| = 14

|-x3+x2-x| = |-(4)3 + (4)2-(4)| = |-64+14-4| = 52

% of No. of male students increased in 2009

Similarly on the sixth floor α 2

Total Probability = 1+2 +3 +4 +5 +6 = 21

Probability of 3rd dot = 3/21 = 1/7 = 0.14

Therefore all values of 1i are non-negative and real number.

Substituting eq (i) and (ii) in given differential equation, we get

d2y/dt2 - dy/dt + dy/dt -y = 0

y = x or 1/x are two possible solutions

(i) Series adding connection

(ii) Series opposing connection

Leq = L1+ L2- 2M

Therefore Vc(0-) = -Vo1

Time Constant T = Rth.C

RTh is the Thevenin resistance across the capacitor terminal after t = 0. So

Now given that voltage across first capacitor is C1 is 2 V, so we write

(C2C3/ C1C2 + C2C3 + C3C1) x 10 = 2

Let input x(t) = k cos 3t , k = 1

Given: VCE(sat) = 0.2

Writing KVL around the input loop:

Writing KVL around the output loop:

For active region VCE > VCE(sat)

or, VCE > 0.2 V

So, 5 - 0.215RC > 0.2

0.215RC < 5 - 0.2

at, x = y/2 ⇒ u = [2.(y/2)] - y } / 2 ⇒ u = 0

at, x = (y/2) + 1 ⇒ u = [2.(y/2)+1] - y } / 2 ⇒ u = 1

v = y/2 ⇒ dv = dy/2 ⇒ dy = 2dv

To make both diodes forward biased

vp1 > -1 V & vn2 < -2 V

or, vo > -1 V & vo < -2 V

So vi =- 2 V to -4 V range does not allow proper clipping operation.
