Q.4 In a class of 100 students,

(i) there are 30 students who neither like romantic movies nor comedy
movies,
(ii) the number of students who like romantic movies is twice the
number of students who like comedy movies, and
(iii) the number of students who like both romantic movies and
comedy movies is 20.
How many students in the class like romantic movies?
Answer.
(A) 40 (B) 20 (C) 60 (D) 30
Solution:-
Let's use the principle of inclusion and exclusion to solve this problem.
Let:
- R be the number of students who like romantic movies.
- C be the number of students who like comedy movies.
From the given information:
(i) 30 students like neither romantic nor comedy movies.

(ii) R = 2C (the number of students who like romantic movies is twice the
number of students who like comedy movies).
(iii) 20 students like both romantic and comedy movies.
Now, we can use the principle of inclusion and exclusion:
Total students = R + C + 30 (students who like neither)

Total students = R + 2R + 30 (from ii)
Total students = 3R + 30
Total students = Students who like romantic movies + Students who like
comedy movies - Students who like both + Students who like neither
100 = R + C - 20 + 30
Now, substitute R = 2C and solve for C:
100 = 2C + C - 20 + 30
100 = 3C + 10
3C = 90
C = 30
Since R = 2C:
R = 2 * 30 = 60
So, the number of students who like romantic movies is 60.
Q.6 Forestland is a planet inhabited by different kinds of creatures.

Among other
creatures, it is populated by animals all of whom are ferocious. There
are also
creatures that have claws, and some that do not. All creatures that
have claws are
ferocious.
Based only on the information provided above, which one of the
following options
can be logically inferred with certainty?
Answer.
(A) All creatures with claws are animals.
(B) Some creatures with claws are non-ferocious.
(C) Some non-ferocious creatures have claws.
(D) Some ferocious creatures are creatures with claws.
Solution:-
The given information states:
1. All creatures on the planet Forestland are ferocious.

2. There are creatures with claws, and all creatures with claws are
ferocious.
Based on this information, we can logically infer the following:
(D) Some ferocious creatures are creatures with claws.
This is because all creatures with claws are ferocious, and since all
creatures on the planet are ferocious, there must be some ferocious
creatures that also have claws.
Q.8 Which one of the following options can be inferred from the given
passage alone?
When I was a kid, I was partial to stories about other worlds and
interplanetary travel. I used to imagine that I could just gaze off into
space
and be whisked to another planet.
[Excerpt from The Truth about Stories by T. King]
Answer.
(A) It is a child’s description of what he or she likes.
(B) It is an adult’s memory of what he or she liked as a child.
(C) The child in the passage read stories about interplanetary travel only in
parts.
(D) It teaches us that stories are good for children.
Solution:-
The passage states: "When I was a kid, I was partial to stories about other
worlds and interplanetary travel. I used to imagine that I could just gaze off
into space and be whisked to another planet."
From this passage, we can infer:
(B) It is an adult's memory of what he or she liked as a child.
The passage is written in past tense and describes the speaker's childhood
experiences and preferences. Therefore, it can be inferred that the
passage reflects an adult's recollection of what they enjoyed as a child.
Q.9 Out of 1000 individuals in a town, 100 unidentified individuals are

covid positive.
Due to lack of adequate covid-testing kits, the health authorities of the
town devised
a strategy to identify these covid-positive individuals. The strategy is

to:
(i) Collect saliva samples from all 1000 individuals and randomly
group
them into sets of 5.
(ii) Mix the samples within each set and test the mixed sample for
covid.
(iii) If the test done in (ii) gives a negative result, then declare all the 5
individuals to be covid negative.
(iv) If the test done in (ii) gives a positive result, then all the 5
individuals
are separately tested for covid.
Given this strategy, no more than _______ testing kits will be required
to identify
all the 100 covid positive individuals irrespective of how they are
grouped.
Answer.
(A) 700
(B) 600
(C) 800
(D) 1000
Solution:-
The strategy involves testing the mixed sample of 5 individuals first. If the
mixed sample tests negative, then all 5 individuals are declared
COVID-negative. If the mixed sample tests positive, then all 5 individuals
are tested individually.
To minimize the number of testing kits required, we want to make sure that
as few mixed samples as possible test positive, so that fewer individual
tests are needed.
The worst-case scenario for this strategy occurs when all 100
COVID-positive individuals are in different mixed samples. In this case,
each mixed sample would test positive, and we would need to individually
test all 5 individuals from each positive mixed sample.
So, the maximum number of testing kits required would be:
Number of testing kits = (Number of mixed samples) + (Number of

individual tests)
Number of testing kits = (1000 / 5) + (100 * 5)
Number of testing kits = 200 + 500
Number of testing kits = 700
Therefore, no more than 700 testing kits will be required to identify all 100
COVID-positive individuals, irrespective of how they are grouped.
Answer: (A) 700

−1𝐴𝑃, respectively, are
Answer.
(A) {𝜆𝑘 det(𝐴) | 1 ≤ 𝑘 ≤ 𝑛} and {𝑃𝒗𝑘 | 1 ≤ 𝑘 ≤ 𝑛}
(B) {𝜆𝑘 | 1 ≤ 𝑘 ≤ 𝑛} and {𝒗𝑘 | 1 ≤ 𝑘 ≤ 𝑛}
(C) {𝜆𝑘 | 1 ≤ 𝑘 ≤ 𝑛} and {𝑃𝒗𝑘 | 1 ≤ 𝑘 ≤ 𝑛}
(D) {𝜆𝑘 | 1 ≤ 𝑘 ≤ 𝑛} and {𝑃 −1𝒗𝑘 | 1 ≤ 𝑘 ≤ 𝑛}
Q.16 In a semiconductor, if the Fermi energy level lies in the

conduction band, then the
semiconductor is known as
Answer.
(A) degenerate n-type.
(B) degenerate p-type.
(C) non-degenerate n-type.
(D) non-degenerate p-type
Solution:-
When the Fermi energy level lies in the conduction band of a
semiconductor, it means that a significant number of electrons are present
in the conduction band, contributing to the electrical conductivity of the
material.
(A) Degenerate n-type: This refers to a situation where a large number of

donor (n-type) dopant atoms have been introduced into the semiconductor,
providing excess electrons in the conduction band. If the Fermi level is in
the conduction band, it indicates a high concentration of electrons.
(B) Degenerate p-type: This refers to a situation where a large number of

acceptor (p-type) dopant atoms have been introduced into the
semiconductor, creating holes in the valence band. The Fermi level in the
conduction band would be an unusual situation for a degenerate p-type
semiconductor.
(C) Non-degenerate n-type: In a non-degenerate n-type semiconductor,

there are some donor dopant atoms contributing to the electron
concentration, but they may not be dominant. The Fermi level in the
conduction band could indicate a moderate electron concentration.
(D) Non-degenerate p-type: In a non-degenerate p-type semiconductor,

there are some acceptor dopant atoms contributing to the hole
concentration, but they may not be dominant. The Fermi level in the
conduction band would not be expected for a non-degenerate p-type
semiconductor.
Based on the given information, the most suitable option is:
(A) Degenerate n-type
Q.17 For an intrinsic semiconductor at temperature 𝑇 = 0 𝐾, which of

the following
statement is true?
Answer.
(A) All energy states in the valence band are filled with electrons and
all energy states
in the conduction band are empty of electrons.

(B) All energy states in the valence band are empty of electrons and all
energy states
in the conduction band are filled with electrons.
(C) All energy states in the valence and conduction band are filled with
holes.
(D) All energy states in the valence and conduction band are filled with
electrons.
Solution:-
An intrinsic semiconductor at absolute zero temperature (\(T = 0 \,
\text{K}\)) means that it is at its lowest possible energy state. In an intrinsic
semiconductor, the valence band is filled with electrons and the conduction
band is empty at \(T = 0 \, \text{K}\). This is because all electrons are in
their lowest energy states in the valence band and have not gained enough
thermal energy to move to the higher energy conduction band.
So, the correct statement is:
(A) All energy states in the valence band are filled with electrons and
all energy states in the conduction band are empty of electrons.

(B) 𝑣𝑝 < 𝑐, 𝑣𝑔 > 𝑐
(C) 𝑣𝑝 > 𝑐, 𝑣𝑔 < 𝑐
(D) 𝑣𝑝 < 𝑐, 𝑣𝑔 < c
Solution:-

B) 1/T1T2
C) 1/T1√T2
D) 1/T2√T1
Solution:-
Q.26 Consider a system with input 𝑥(𝑡) and output 𝑦(𝑡) = 𝑥(𝑒^).
The system is
Answer.
(A) Causal and time invariant.
(B) Non-causal and time varying.
(C) Causal and time varying.
(D) Non-causal and time invariant.
Solution:-
The given system has an output \( y(t) = x(e^t) \), where \( x(t) \) is the
input.
We can analyze the properties of the system as follows:
1. Causality: A system is causal if the output at any given time depends

only on the past and/or present values of the input. In this case, the output
\( y(t) \) depends on the input \( x(e^t) \), which means that the output
depends on the future values of the input. Therefore, the system is
**non-causal**.
2. Time Invariance: A system is time-invariant if a time shift in the input

results in a corresponding time shift in the output. Here, if we shift the input
by a time \( \Delta t \), the output becomes \( y(t) = x(e^{t+\Delta t}) \), which
is not equal to \( x(e^t) \). Therefore, the system is **time-varying**.
Based on the analysis above, the correct option is:
(B) Non-causal and time-varying.

Q.37 The value of the line integral ∫ (𝑧

2 𝑑𝑥 + 3𝑦2 𝑑𝑦 + 2𝑥𝑧 𝑑𝑧)𝑄𝑃 along the straight line joining the points 𝑃
(1,1,2) and 𝑄 (2,3,1) is
Answer.
(A) 20
(B) 24
(C) 29
(D) -5
Solution:-
To evaluate the line integral ∫ (𝑧^2 𝑑𝑥 + 3𝑦^2 𝑑𝑦 + 2𝑥𝑧 𝑑𝑧) along the straight
line joining points 𝑃 (1, 1, 2) and 𝑄 (2, 3, 1), we parameterize the line using
a parameter 𝑡:
𝑟(𝑡) = 𝑥(𝑡)𝑖 + 𝑦(𝑡)𝑗 + 𝑧(𝑡)𝑘

𝑟(𝑡) = (1 + 𝑡)𝑖 + (1 + 2𝑡)𝑗 + (2 − 𝑡)𝑘
Here, 𝑡 varies from 0 to 1 as we move from 𝑃 to 𝑄.
Now, we can substitute these expressions into the integrand:
𝑧^2 𝑑𝑥 = (2 − 𝑡)^2(𝑑𝑥/𝑑𝑡) 𝑑𝑡 = (2 − 𝑡)^2𝑖 𝑑𝑡

3𝑦^2 𝑑𝑦 = 3(1 + 2𝑡)^2(𝑑𝑦/𝑑𝑡) 𝑑𝑡 = 3(1 + 2𝑡)^2𝑗 𝑑𝑡
2𝑥𝑧 𝑑𝑧 = 2(1 + 𝑡)(2 − 𝑡)(𝑑𝑧/𝑑𝑡) 𝑑𝑡 = 2(1 + 𝑡)(2 − 𝑡)𝑘 𝑑𝑡
Now, compute the dot product of the integrand with the tangent vector:
𝑟'(𝑡) = 𝑑𝑟/𝑑𝑡 = 𝑖 + 2𝑗 − 𝑘
Now the dot product:

𝑟'(𝑡) · (𝑧^2 𝑑𝑥 + 3𝑦^2 𝑑𝑦 + 2𝑥𝑧 𝑑𝑧) = (𝑖 + 2𝑗 − 𝑘) · ((2 − 𝑡)^2𝑖 + 3(1 + 2𝑡)^2𝑗 + 2(1
+ 𝑡)(2 − 𝑡)𝑘) 𝑑𝑡
= (2 − 𝑡)^2 + 6(1 + 2𝑡)^2 − 2(1 + 𝑡)(2 − 𝑡) 𝑑𝑡
Now integrate with respect to 𝑡 from 0 to 1:

∫ (𝑧^2 𝑑𝑥 + 3𝑦^2 𝑑𝑦 + 2𝑥𝑧 𝑑𝑧) = ∫ [(2 − 𝑡)^2 + 6(1 + 2𝑡)^2 − 2(1 + 𝑡)(2 − 𝑡)] 𝑑𝑡
= ∫ [2 − 4𝑡 + 4𝑡^2 + 6 + 24𝑡 + 24𝑡^2 − 4 + 2𝑡 + 4𝑡^2] 𝑑𝑡
= ∫ (30𝑡^2 + 20𝑡 + 4) 𝑑𝑡
= 10𝑡^3 + 10𝑡^2 + 4𝑡
Evaluate the integral from 0 to 1:

= [10(1)^3 + 10(1)^2 + 4(1)] - [10(0)^3 + 10(0)^2 + 4(0)]
= 10 + 10 + 4
= 24
Therefore, the line integral along the straight line joining 𝑃 and 𝑄 is 24.

(B) 24
Q.38 Let 𝒙 be an 𝑛 × 1 real column vector with length 𝑙 = √𝒙𝑇𝒙. The trace

(C) 𝑙
(D) 𝑙²/2
Q.45
(A) 𝐵𝑇 + 𝑊
(B) 3/2 𝐵𝑇
(C) 2𝐵𝑇 + 𝑊
(D) 5/2 BT
Q.47
Answer.
(A) −10
(B) 10
(C) −2
(D) 2
Solution:-
We are given the discrete-time Fourier series (DTFS) representation of a
periodic signal x[n]:
x[n] = ∑ aₖ * e^(j * k * 2π * n / N), where k goes from 0 to N-1.
Given values of a₀, a₁, a₂, a₃, and a₄, we have:

a₀ = 1
a₁ = 3j
a₂ = 2j
a₃ = -2j
a₄ = -3j
We are asked to find the value of the sum ∑ x[n] * sin(4πn / N) for n = 0 to
N-1.
Substitute the expression for x[n] into the sum:
∑ x[n] * sin(4πn / N) = ∑ (∑ aₖ * e^(j * k * 2π * n / N)) * sin(4πn / N)
Since the summations are linear, we can interchange them:
= ∑ ∑ (aₖ * e^(j * k * 2π * n / N)) * sin(4πn / N)
Now, apply the trigonometric identity: sin(θ) = (1/2j) * (e^(jθ) - e^(-jθ))
= (1/2j) * ∑ ∑ aₖ * (e^(j * k * 2π * n / N) * (e^(j * 4πn / N) - e^(-j * 4πn / N)))
Now we can split the summation into two parts:
= (1/2j) * (∑ ∑ aₖ * e^(j * (k * 2π * n / N + 4πn / N)) - ∑ ∑ aₖ * e^(j * (k * 2π

* n / N - 4πn / N)))
Notice that in the first summation, k * 2π * n / N + 4πn / N becomes (k + 4)

* 2π * n / N, and in the second summation, k * 2π * n / N - 4πn / N
becomes (k - 4) * 2π * n / N.
Since the periodicity is N, we can use the property that e^(j * 2π * n / N) = 1

for integer values of n.
= (1/2j) * (∑ ∑ aₖ * e^(j * 2π * (k + 4) * n / N) - ∑ ∑ aₖ * e^(j * 2π * (k - 4) *

n / N))
= (1/2j) * (∑ ∑ aₖ * 1 - ∑ ∑ aₖ * 1)
Notice that the summation ∑ aₖ is just the sum of the coefficients a₀, a₁, a₂,
a₃, and a₄:
= (1/2j) * (a₀ + a₁ + a₂ + a₃ + a₄ - a₀ - a₁ - a₂ - a₃ - a₄)
Simplify by substituting the given values of a₀, a₁, a₂, a₃, and a₄:
= (1/2j) * (1 + 3j + 2j - 2j - 3j - 3j)
= (1/2j) * (1 - 3j)
Multiply by the conjugate of the denominator to eliminate the complex

denominator:
= (1/2j) * (1 + 3j) / (1 + 9)
= (1/2j) * (1 + 3j) / 10
= -3/20 + (1/20)j
Therefore, the value of the sum is (A) -10.
Q.49
Answer.
A) (15𝑊/4) cos(10.5Wt)
B) (15𝑊/2) cos(10.5Wt)
C) (15𝑊/8) cos(10.5Wt)
D) (15𝑊) cos(10.5Wt)
Q.53 The electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave is

elliptically polarized (LHEP) wave?
Answer.
(A) 𝐶1𝑥 = 1, 𝐶1𝑦 = 1, 𝜃 = 𝜋/4

(C) 𝐶1𝑥 = 1, 𝐶1𝑦 = 2, 𝜃 = 3𝜋/2
(D) 𝐶1𝑥 = 2, 𝐶1𝑦 = 1, 𝜃 = 3𝜋/4
Solution:- A,B,D
Q.56 In an extrinsic semiconductor, the hole concentration is given to

be 1.5𝑛𝑖 where 𝑛𝑖
is the intrinsic carrier concentration of 1 × 1010 𝑐𝑚−3. The ratio of
electron to hole
mobility for equal hole and electron drift current is given as
__________ (rounded
off to two decimal places)
Answer. 2.25
Solution:-
In an extrinsic semiconductor, the ratio of electron to hole mobility is given
by the ratio of their respective drift currents under the same electric field.
The drift current is given by:
**Drift Current (𝐽)** = Charge (q) * Mobility (𝜇) * Carrier Concentration (𝑛) *
Electric Field (𝐸)
For both electrons and holes:

**𝐽𝑛** (drift current for electrons) = 𝑞 * 𝜇𝑛 * 𝑛 * 𝐸
**𝐽𝑝** (drift current for holes) = 𝑞 * 𝜇𝑝 * 𝑝 * 𝐸
Given:
𝑛 = 1.5𝑛𝑖
𝑛𝑖 = 1 × 10^10 𝑐𝑚^−3
We want the ratio of electron to hole mobility for equal drift currents, so we
can set **𝐽𝑛** = **𝐽𝑝** and solve for the mobility ratio:
𝜇𝑛 * 𝑛 * 𝐸 = 𝜇𝑝 * 𝑝 * 𝐸
Since 𝑛 = 1.5𝑛𝑖 and 𝑝 = 𝑛𝑖^2 / 𝑛 = 𝑛𝑖 / 1.5, we get:
𝜇𝑛 * 1.5𝑛𝑖 * 𝐸 = 𝜇𝑝 * 𝑛𝑖 / 1.5 * 𝐸
Simplifying:
𝜇𝑛 * 1.5 = 𝜇𝑝 / 1.5
𝜇𝑛 / 𝜇𝑝 = 1.5^2
𝜇𝑛 / 𝜇𝑝 = 2.25
Rounded off to two decimal places, the ratio of electron to hole

mobility is approximately **2.25**.
Q.59 Let 𝑋(𝑡) be a white Gaussian noise with power spectral density ½
W/Hz. If 𝑋(𝑡) is input to an LTI system with impulse response 𝑒−𝑡𝑢(𝑡). The

two decimal places).
Answer. 0.25W
Solution:-
Answer is 0.25W
Q.60 A transparent dielectric coating is applied to glass (𝜀𝑟 = 4, 𝜇𝑟 = 1)

to eliminate the
reflection of red light (𝜆0 = 0.75 μm). The minimum thickness of the
dielectric
coating, in μm, that can be used is _________ (rounded off to two
decimal places).
Answer. 0.09μm
Solution:-
Answer is 0.09μm
Q.62 A sample and hold circuit is implemented using a resistive
switch and a capacitor with a time constant of 1 μs. The time for the
sampling switch to stay closed to charge a capacitor adequately to a

full scale voltage of 1 V with 12-bit accuracy is _______ μs (rounded
off to two decimal places).
Answer. 8.30 to 8.34

Based on the analysis above, the correct option is:

(B) Non-causal and time-varying.

(i) Continuous, aperiodic (a) Continuous, aperiodic

(C) (𝑖) → (𝑑), (𝑖𝑖) → (𝑏), (𝑖𝑖𝑖) → (𝑐), (𝑖𝑣) → (𝑎)

Q.37 The value of the line integral ∫ (𝑧

𝑟(𝑡) = 𝑥(𝑡)𝑖 + 𝑦(𝑡)𝑗 + 𝑧(𝑡)𝑘

Here, 𝑡 varies from 0 to 1 as we move from 𝑃 to 𝑄.

Now, we can substitute these expressions into the integrand:

𝑧^2 𝑑𝑥 = (2 − 𝑡)^2(𝑑𝑥/𝑑𝑡) 𝑑𝑡 = (2 − 𝑡)^2𝑖 𝑑𝑡

Now the dot product:

Now integrate with respect to 𝑡 from 0 to 1:

Evaluate the integral from 0 to 1:

The correct answer is:

x[n] = ∑ aₖ * e^(j * k * 2π * n / N), where k goes from 0 to N-1.

Given values of a₀, a₁, a₂, a₃, and a₄, we have:

Substitute the expression for x[n] into the sum:

∑ x[n] * sin(4πn / N) = ∑ (∑ aₖ * e^(j * k * 2π * n / N)) * sin(4πn / N)

Since the summations are linear, we can interchange them:

= ∑ ∑ (aₖ * e^(j * k * 2π * n / N)) * sin(4πn / N)

Now, apply the trigonometric identity: sin(θ) = (1/2j) * (e^(jθ) - e^(-jθ))

= (1/2j) * ∑ ∑ aₖ * (e^(j * k * 2π * n / N) * (e^(j * 4πn / N) - e^(-j * 4πn / N)))
