Q. 8 A band-limited signal with a maximum frequency of 5 kHz is to be sampled.
According to the sampling theorem, the sampling frequency which is not valid is
(A) 5 kHz (B) 12 kHz
(C) 15 kHz (D) 20 kHz
Sol. 8 Hence (A) is correct option
Given, the maximum frequency of the band-limited signal
fm = 5 kHz
According to the Nyquist sampling theorem, the sampling frequency must be

greater than the Nyquist frequency which is given as

fN = 2fm = 2 # 5 = 10 kHz
So, the sampling frequency fs must satisfy
fs $ fN

So we have
ng
ye w1 = 100 rad/s
w2 = 300 rad/s
as w3 = 500 rad/s
.E
Therefore, the respective time periods are
T1 = 2p = 2p sec
w w1 100
T2 = 2p = 2p sec
w w2 300
w T3 = 2p sec
500
So, the fundamental time period of the signal is
LCM ^2p, 2p, 2ph
L.C.M. ^T1, T2 T3h =
HCF ^100, 300, 500h
or, T0 = 2p

Q. 10 A bulb in a staircase has two switches, one switch being at the ground floor
and the other one at the first floor. The bulb can be turned ON and also can
be turned OFF by any one of the switches irrespective of the state of the other
switch. The logic of switching of the bulb resembles
(A) and AND gate
(B) an OR gate
(C) an XOR gate
(D) a NAND gate

Sol. 10 Let A denotes the position of switch at ground floor and B denotes the position
of switch at upper floor. The switch can be either in up position or down position.
Following are the truth table given for different combinations of A and B
A B Y(Bulb)
up(1) up(1) OFF(0)
Down(0) Down(0) OFF(0)
up(1) Down(0) ON(1)
Down(0) up(1) ON(1)
When the switches A and B are both up or both down, output will be zero (i.e.
et
Bulb will be OFF). Any of the switch changes its position leads to the ON state
of bulb. Hence, from the truth table, we get

From the given plot, we obtain the slope as
20 log G2 - 20 log G1
Slope =

From the figure
20 log G2 =- 8 dB
20 log G1 = 32 dB
and w1 = 1 rad/s
w2 = 10 rad/s
So, the slope is
Slope = - 8 - 32
log 10 - log 1

The i/p voltage of the system is given as
Vin = V1 + Vf
= V1 + k Vout
= V1 + k A 0 V1 ^Vout = A 0 V1h
= V1 ^1 + k A 0h
Therefore, if k is increased then input voltage is also increased so, the input
impedance increases. Now, we have
Vout = A 0 V1
= A0 Vin
^1 + k A 0h
= A 0 Vin
^1 + k A 0h
Since, Vin is independent of k when seen from output mode, the output voltage
decreases with increase in k that leads to the decrease of output impedance.
Thus, input impedance increases and output impedance decreases.

For the + ve half cycle of I/p voltage, diode will be forward biased (Vg = 0 , ideal

V1 = 0 volt (for + ve half cycle)

Now, for - ve half cycle, diode will be reverse biased and treated as open

Given the scalar field
V = 2x2 y + 3y2 z + 4z2 x
Its gradient is given by
dV = ^4xy + 4z2h avx + _2x2 + 6yz i avy + ^3y2 + 8zx h avz

Note : From the properties of curl, we know that curl of gradient of any scalar
field is always zero. So, there is no need to solve the curl and gradient.

A single-phase transformer has no-load loss of 64 W, as obtained from an open
w
circuit test. When a short-circuit test is performed on it with 90% of the rated
currents flowing in its both LV and HV windings, he measured loss is 81 W. The
transformer has maximum efficiency when operated at
(A) 50.0% of the rated current (B) 64.0% of the rated current
(C) 80.0% of the rated current (D) 88.8% of the rated current
Sol. 17 Hence (C) is correct option
Since, the no-load loss (when load is not connected) is 64 W. So, the open
circuit loss is
W0 = 6 watt (no load)
As the 90% of rated current flows in its both LV and HV windings, the lost is
measured as
copper loss at 90% load = 81 watt
or, Wcu ât 90%h = 81 watt
Now, we have the copper loss for x load as

Wcu ^x h = Wcu ât full loadh # c Ix m

or, Wcu ât full loadh = Wcu ât x% loadh # c IFL m

For maximum efficiency we must have
copper lossed = no-load loss
= 64 watt
Consider at x% load copper loss is 64 watt. So,
^x2h Wcu ât full loadh = 64
or, x = 64 = 0.8

w = 100 210c
= 1000 cos 210c + j1000 sin 210c

As both the reactive and average power (real power) are negative so, power is
absorbed by load. i.e., load absorbs real as well as reactive power.

Q and an ideal op-amp are used?
(A) - 15 V (B) - 0.7 V

(C) + 0.7 V (D) + 15 V
For the given ideal op-amp, negative terminal will be also ground (at zero voltage)
and so, the collector terminal of the BJT will be at zero voltage.
i.e., VC = 0 volt
The current in 1 kW resistor is given by
I = 5 - 0 = 5 mA
1 kW

This current will flow completely through the BJT since, no current will flow
into the ideal op-amp ( I/P resistance of ideal op-amp is infinity). So, for BJT
we have
VC = 0
VB = 0
IC = 5 mA
i.e.,the base collector junction is reverse biased (zero voltage) therefore, the
collector current (IC ) can have a value only if base-emitter is forward biased.

at least a point where

since, all the loops are touching to both the paths Pk1 and Pk2 so,
Dk 1 = Dk 2 = 1

Here, the loops are

L 3 = ^- 2h^s-1h^s-1h =- 2s-2
L 4 = ^- 2h^s-1h^1 h =- 2s-1

Vout = 2V1
and, as the I/P current in Op-amp is always zero therefore, there will be no

So, Z =Y=0
For x = 0 , y = 1, Again Transistor is in cutoff mode, and diode is forward biased.
with no current flowing through resistor.
So, Z =Y=1
For x = 1, y = 0 , Transistor is in saturation mode and so, z directly connected to

Similarly for X = Y = 1
Z = 0 (ground)

(C) q2 = 0.1, q3 = 0.1 (D) q2 = 0.1, q3 = 0.2
Consider the voltage phase angles at buses 2 and 3 be Q2 and Q 3 since, all the
three buses have the equal voltage magnitude which is 1 Pu so, it is a D.C. load
flow. The injections at Bus 2 and 3 are respectively
P2 = 0.1 pu

We consider the following two cases :
in
Case I : When Q1, Q2 ON
ng
In this case the + ve terminal of V0 will be at higher voltage. i.e. V0 > 0 and so
i 0 > 0 (i.e., it will be + ve ). Now, when the Q1 , Q2 goes to OFF condition we
ye
consider the second case.
Case II : When Q 3 , Q 4 ON and Q , Q2 OFF :
as
In this condition, - ve terminal of applied voltage V0 will be at higher potential
i.e., V0 < 0 and since, inductor opposes the change in current so, although the
.E
polarity of voltage V0 is inversed, current remains same in inductor i.e. I 0 > 0 .
This is the condition when conduction have been asked.
w In this condition ^V0 > 0, I 0 > 0h since, IGBT’s can’t conduct reverse
w
currents therefore current will flow through D 3, D 4 until ID becomes negative.
w
Thus, D 3 and D 4 conducts.
Q. 55 Appropriate transition i.e., Zero Voltage Switching ^ZVS h/Zero Current Switching
^ZCS h of the IGBTs during turn-on/turn-off is
(A) ZVS during turn off
(B) ZVS during turn-on
(C) ZCS during turn off
(D) ZCS during turn-on

When Q 3, Q 4 is switched ON, initially due to the reverse current it remain in OFF
state and current passes through diode. In this condition the voltage across Q 3
and Q 4 are zero as diodes conduct. Hence, it shows zero voltage switching during
turn-ON

(A) 40
(C) 46
(B) 43
(D) 49
Let the temperature on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday be respectively
as TM , TTU , TW , TTH
So, from the given data we have
TH + TTU + TW = 41 ....(1)
3
and TTU + TW + TTH = 43 ....(2)

also, as the temperature on Thursday was 15% higher than that of Monday
i.e. TTH = 1.15 TM ....(3)
solving eq (1), (2) and (3), we obtain
TTH = 46cC

It will be easy to check the options for given series. From the given series.
10 + 84 + 734 + . ....
We get
Sum of 1 term = S1 = 10
Sum of 2 terms = S2 = 10 + 84 = 94

Given, the quadratic equation

It will have the roots with opposite sign if

So it can be possible only when
P < 0 and P - 1 > 0
