There are two candidates P and Q in an election. During the campaign, 40% of the voters promised to vote for P, and rest for Q. However, on the day of election 15% of the voters went back on their promise to vote for P and instead voted for Q. 25% of the voters went back on their promise to vote for Q and instead voted for P. Suppose, P lost by 2 votes, then what was the total number of voters? 

  1. ((a))

    100

  2. ((b))

    110

  3. ((c))

    90

  4. ((d))

    95

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

100

Explanation:

Let; Total number of voters = X

Number of voters P was supposed to get = 0.4X

Number of voters Q was supposed to get =  0.6X

According to the given information;

Number of voters P got = 85/100 (0.4X) + 25/100 (0.6X)

Number of voters Q got = 75/100 (0.6X) + 15/100 (0.4X)

Q - P = 2

⇒ 75/100 (0.6X) + 15/100 (0.4X) - 85/100 (0.4X) - 25/100 (0.6X) = 2

⇒ 50/100 (0.6X) - 70/100 (0.4X) = 2

⇒ 30X - 28X = 200

⇒ 2X = 200

⇒ X = 100

Hence, total number of voters are 100.

Choose the most appropriate word from the options given below to complete the following sentence:

It was her view that the country's problems had been _______ by foreign technocrats, so that to invite them to come back would be counter-productive.

  1. ((a))

    identified

  2. ((b))

    ascertained

  3. ((c))

    exacerbated

  4. ((d))

    analysed

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

exacerbated

The correct answer is 'exacerbated'.

Key Points

  • Let's explore options;
  • identified: establish or indicate who or what (someone or something) is.
  • Example: Even the smallest baby can identify its mother by her voice.
  • ascertained: find (something) out for certain; make sure of.
  • Example: The police have so far been unable to ascertain the cause of the explosion.
  • exacerbated: make (a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling) worse.
  • Example: This attack will exacerbate the already tense relations between the two communities.
  • analysed: discover or reveal (something) through detailed examination.
  • Example: Researchers analysed the purchases of 6,300 households.
  • Thus, from above, we can conclude that 'exacerbated' will be used in the blank because of the keyword 'counterproductive' which suggests technocrats must have done something to make the situation worse.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

Three friends, R, S and T shared toffee from a bowl. R took 1/3rd of the toffees, but returned four to the bowl. S took 1/4th of what was left but returned three toffees to the bowl. T took half of the remainder but returned two back into the bowl. If the bowl had 17 toffees left, how many toffees were originally there in the bowl?

  1. ((a))

    38

  2. ((b))

    31

  3. ((c))

    48

  4. ((d))

    41

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

48

Let the total number of toffees in bowl be x

R took 1/3 of toffees and returned 4 to the bowl

∴ Number of toffees with R = x/3 - 4

Remaining of toffees in bowl = 2x/3 + 4

Number of toffees with S=14[23x+4]3S = \frac{1}{4}[\frac{2}{3}x+4]-3

Remaining toffees in bowl = 34[23x+4]+3 \frac{3}{4}[\frac{2}{3}x+4]+3

Number of toffees with T = 12[34(23x+4)+3]2\frac{1}{2}[\frac{3}{4}(\frac{2}{3}x+4)+3]-2

Remaining toffees in bowl = 12[34(23x+4)+3]+2\frac{1}{2}[\frac{3}{4}(\frac{2}{3}x+4)+3]+2

Given: 12[34(23x+4)+3]+2=17\frac{1}{2}[\frac{3}{4}(\frac{2}{3}x+4)+3]+2=17

⇒ x = 48

∴ There were 48 toffees in the bowl.

  4. ((d))

    sRe(P)n^ ds∯_s Re\left( {\vec P } \right)\cdot \hat n\ d\vec s decreases with increasing radial distance from the source

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

sRe(P)n^ ds∯_s Re\left( {\vec P } \right)\cdot \hat n\ d\vec s decreases with increasing radial distance from the source

Poynting vector:

It states that the cross product of electric field vector (E) and magnetic field vector (H) at any point is a measure of the rate of flow of electromagnetic energy per unit area at that point that is 

S=E×H \vec S = \vec E \times \vec H

S = Poynting vector

E = Electric field and

H = Magnetic field

The Poynting vector describes the magnitude and direction of the flow of energy in electromagnetic waves per unit volume.

sRe(P)n^ ds∯_s Re\left( {\vec P } \right)\cdot \hat n\ d\vec s,  gives average power and it decreases with the increasing radial distance from the source.

A transmission line of characteristic impedance 50 Ω is terminated by a 50 Ω load. When excited by a sinusoidal voltage source at 10 GHz, the phase difference between two points spaced 2 mm apart on the line is found to be π/4 radians. The phase velocity of the wave along the line is

  1. ((a))

    0.8 × 108 m/s

  2. ((b))

    1.2 × 108 m/s

  3. ((c))

    1.6 × 108 m/s

  4. ((d))

    3 × 108 m/s

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

1.6 × 108 m/s

Concept:

Phase velocity: 

v = f.λ 

Calculation:

Phase difference for the distance,

 2mm=π42mm = \frac{\pi }{4}

Distance for phase difference,

 2π=2mm×(8)2\pi = 2mm \times \left( 8 \right) 

;λ;=;16mm\Rightarrow ;λ ; = ;16mm

Excitation frequency f = 10 GHz

Phase velocity,

 v=f.;λ=(10×109)×(16×;103)=1.6×108 m/sv = f.;λ = \left( {10 \times {{10}^9}} \right) \times \left( {16 \times ;{{10}^{ - 3}}} \right) = 1.6 \times {10^8}~m/s

An analog signal is bandlimited to 4 KHz, sampled at Nyquist rate and the samples are quantized into 4 levels. The quantized levels are assumed to be independent and equally probable. If we transmit two quantized samples per sec, the information rate is

  1. ((a))

    1 bit / s

  2. ((b))

    2 bit / s

  3. ((c))

    3 bit / s

  4. ((d))

    4 bit / s

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

4 bit / s

Entropy for equiprobable and independent bits.

H=log2N=log24=2 bits/symbolH = {\log _2}N = {\log _2}4 = 2~bits/symbol

Now, two symbols are transmitted per second.

So,Information rate = rH = 2 × 2 = 4 bit/s.

The root locus plot for a system is given below. The open loop transfer function corresponding to this plot is given by(double pole at -3)

  1. ((a))

    G(s)H(s)=ks(s+1)(s+2)(s+3)G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = k\frac{{s\left( {s + 1} \right)}}{{\left( {s + 2} \right)\left( {s + 3} \right)}}

  2. ((b))

    G(s)H(s)=k(s+1)s(s+2)(s+3)2G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = k\frac{{\left( {s + 1} \right)}}{{s\left( {s + 2} \right){{\left( {s + 3} \right)}^2}}}

  3. ((c))

    G(s)H(s)=k1s(s1)(s+2)(s+3)G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = k\frac{1}{{s\left( {s - 1} \right)\left( {s + 2} \right)\left( {s + 3} \right)}}

  4. ((d))

    G(s)H(s)=k(s+1)s(s+2)(s+3)G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = k\frac{{\left( {s + 1} \right)}}{{s\left( {s + 2} \right)\left( {s + 3} \right)}}

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

G(s)H(s)=k(s+1)s(s+2)(s+3)2G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = k\frac{{\left( {s + 1} \right)}}{{s\left( {s + 2} \right){{\left( {s + 3} \right)}^2}}}

Concept:

Every branch of a root locus diagram starts at a pole (K = 0) and terminates at a zero (K = ∞) of the open-loop transfer function.

Application:

Zero = -1

Notice that there are two-locus lines going out from the pole at -3, which implies that there are two poles at s = -3,

Pole = 0, -2, -3, -3

On the real axis to the right side of any section, if the sum of total number of poles and zeros are odd, root locus diagram exists in that section.

∴ 

G(s)H(s)=k(s+1)s(s+2)(s+3)2G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = \frac{{k\left( {s + 1} \right)}}{{s\left( {s + 2} \right){{\left( {s + 3} \right)}^2}}}

Important Points

  1. Root locus diagram is symmetrical with respect to the real axis. 2. Number of branches of the root locus diagram are:

N = P if P ≥ Z

= Z, if P ≤ Z

3. Number of asymptotes in a root locus diagram = |P – Z| 4. Centroid: It is the intersection of the asymptotes and always lies on the real axis. It is denoted by σ.

σ=PiZiPZ\sigma = \frac{{\sum {P_i} - \sum {Z_i}}}{{\left| {P - Z} \right|}}

ΣPi is the sum of real parts of finite poles of G(s)H(s)

ΣZi is the sum of real parts of finite zeros of G(s)H(s)

5. Angle of asymptotes: θl=(2l+1)πPZ{\theta _l} = \frac{{\left( {2l + 1} \right)\pi }}{{P - Z}}

l = 0, 1, 2, … |P – Z| – 1

6. Break-in/away points: These exist when there are multiple roots on the root locus diagram.

At the breakpoints gain K is either maximum and/or minimum.

So, the roots of dKds\frac{{dK}}{{ds}} are the break points.

A system is defined by its impulse response h(n) = 2nu(n - 2). The system is

  1. ((a))

    stable and causal

  2. ((b))

    causal but not stable

  3. ((c))

    stable but not causal

  4. ((d))

    unstable and non-causal

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

causal but not stable

h(n) = 2nu(n - 2)

h(n) is existing for n > 2; so that h(n) = 0; n < 0 ⇒ causal

n=h(n)=n=2n=\sum_{n = -\infty} ^{\infty} |h(n) = \sum_{n = \infty} ^{\infty}2^n = \infty \Rightarrow System is unstable

  3. ((c))

    (1 – α)eαt

  4. ((d))

    αe-αt

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

αe-αt

Concept:

  • The derivative of a unit-step function [u(t)] is an impulse function [δ(t)]
  • Impulse function = ddt\frac{d}{{dt}} (Unit step response)
  • Unit step function = ddt\frac{d}{{dt}} (Response of ramp function)
  • Ramp function = ddt\frac{d}{{dt}} (Response of parabolic function)

 

Calculation:

The unit step response of network is:

c(t) = 1 - e-αt​​​​

ddt(unit;step;response)=impulse;response\frac{d}{{dt}}\left( {unit;step;response} \right) = impulse;response

ddt(1eαt)=αeαt \frac{d}{{dt}}\left( {1 - {e^{ -α t}}} \right) = α {e^{ -α t}}

Y=(PQ+QR)PR=PQ+QR+PR\rm \therefore Y = \overline {\left( {\overline {PQ + QR} } \right)\overline {PR} } = PQ + QR + PR

if two (or) more inputs are zero,

→ Y = 0

if two (or) more inputs are one,

→ Y = 1

For the parallel RLC circuit, the resonant frequency is

wr=1LC=110×106×1×109=10 M rad/sec{w_r} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {LC} }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {10 \times {{10}^{ - 6}} \times 1 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}} }} = 10\ M\ rad/sec

∴ given circuit is in resonance

∴ impedance of parallel RLC = Zmax = R = 2KΩ

∴ gain = - gm (ZC || RL)

= - gm (2K || 2K)

∴ gain is maximum at resonance

∴ option (1) is correct

The circuit shown below is driven by a sinusoidal input, Vi=Vpcos(tRC).{V_i} = {V_p}\cos \left( {\frac{t}{{RC}}} \right). The steady state output V0{V_0} is,

  1. ((a))

    VP3cos(tRC)\frac{{{V_P}}}{3}{\rm{cos}}\left( {\frac{t}{{RC}}} \right)

  2. ((b))

    VP3sin(tRC)\frac{{{V_P}}}{3}{\rm{sin}}\left( {\frac{t}{{RC}}} \right)

  3. ((c))

    VP2cos(tRC)\frac{{{V_P}}}{2}{\rm{cos}}\left( {\frac{t}{{RC}}} \right)

  4. ((d))

    VP2sin(tRC)\frac{{{V_P}}}{2}{\rm{sin}}\left( {\frac{t}{{RC}}} \right)

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

VP3cos(tRC)\frac{{{V_P}}}{3}{\rm{cos}}\left( {\frac{t}{{RC}}} \right)

We can see from the circuit,

VoutVin=(RXc)(RXc)+R+Xc\begin{array}{l} \frac{{{V_{out}}}}{{{V_{in}}}} = \frac{{(R||{X_c})}}{{(R||{X_c}) + R + {X_c}}} \end{array}

Solving the above by putting Xc=1jωCX_c=\frac{1}{j\omega C} we get,

VoutVin=jωRCjωRC+(1+jωRC)2\frac{{{V_{out}}}}{{{V_{in}}}} = \frac{{jω RC}}{{jω RC + {{\left( {1 + jω RC} \right)}^2}}}

Given:

Vin=cos(tRC)V_{in}=\cos \left( {\frac{t}{{RC}}} \right)    ---(1)

By comparing (1) with cos(ωt), we get

  ω=1RCω = \frac{1}{{RC}} 

∴ VoutVin=jj+(1+j)2=13\frac{{{V_{out}}}}{{{V_{in}}}} = \frac{j}{{j + {{\left( {1 + j} \right)}^2}}} = \frac{1}{3}

Vout=13Vi∴ {V_{out}} = \frac{1}{3}{V_i}

The position vector  \({\rm{\vec r}} = \left( {{{{\rm{\hat u}}}{\rm{x}}}{\rm{x}} + {{{\rm{\hat u}}}{\rm{y}}}{\rm{y}} + {{{\rm{\hat u}}}_{\rm{z}}}{\rm{z}}} \right)\)

The modes in a rectangular waveguide are denoted by TEmn/TMmn where m and n are the eigen numbers along the larger and smaller dimensions of the waveguide respectively. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?

  1. ((a))

    The TM10 mode of the waveguide does not exist

  2. ((b))

    The TE10 mode of the waveguide does not exist

  3. ((c))

    The TM10 and the TE10 modes both exist and have the same cut-off frequencies

  4. ((d))

    The TM10 and the TM01 modes both exist and have the same cut-off frequencies

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

The TM10 mode of the waveguide does not exist

For a TEmn mode to exist, We need to have  m,n = 0,1,2,......

but does not exist for m = n = 0. For all other combinations TEmn exists.

For a TMmn mode to exist, We need to have m,n = 1,2,3, ....... i.e m & n both must be non-zero

⇒ TM01, TM10 modes do not exist

Important Points Waveguides only allow frequencies above the cut-off frequency to pass through. It blocks or attenuates the frequencies below the cut-off frequencies.

The cut off frequency is mathematically calculated as:

fc(min)=c2(ma)2+(nb)2{{f}_{c\left( min \right)}}=\frac{c}{2}\sqrt{{{\left( \frac{m}{a} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \frac{n}{b} \right)}^{2}}}

Where a and b are the dimensions of the waveguide

m and n are mode numbers TEmn.

Advantages of FM over AM are:

  • Improved signal to noise ratio.
  • Smaller geographical interference between neighbouring stations.
  • Less radiated power.
  • Well defined service areas for given transmitter power.
  • In SSB (Single Side-band), only one side-band is necessary for the transmission of information.
  • This reduces the Bandwidth requirement to half.
  • A typical SSB transmission spectrum is as shown:

         

  • For SSB transmission, it does not matter whether the upper or lower sideband is used, since the information is contained in both.

Vestigial Side Band (VSB):

VSB (vestigial sideband) transmission transmits one sideband fully and the other sideband partially thus, reducing the bandwidth requirement.

The differential equation 100dydt220dydt+y=x(t)100\frac{d^y}{dt^2}- 20\frac{dy}{dt}+ y = x(t) describes a system with an input x(t) and an output y(t). The system, which is initially relaxed, is excited by a unit step input. The output y(t) can be represented by the waveform

  1. ((a))

  2. ((b))

  3. ((c))

  4. ((d))

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

100d2ydt220dydt+y=x(t)\frac{100d^2y}{dt^2}-\frac{20dy}{dt}+ y = x(t)

Apply L.T. both sides

(100s2 - 20s + 1) Y(s) = 1s\frac{1}{s}  [x(t)×(s)=13][\because x(t) \times (s) = \frac{1}{3}]

Y(s)=1s(100s220s+1)Y(s) = \frac{1}{s(100s^2 - 20s + 1)}

So we have poles with positive real part ⇒ system is unstable.

Answer: ((b))

The Fourier series for the function f(x) in the interval α < x < α + 2π is given by

\(f\left( x \right) = \frac{{{a_o}}}{2} + \mathop \sum \limits_{n = 1}^\infty {a_n}\cos nx + \mathop \sum \limits_{n = 1}^\infty {b_n}\sin nx\)

where

\({a_o} = \frac{1}{\pi }\mathop \smallint \limits_\alpha ^{\alpha + 2\pi } f\left( x \right)dx;;{a_n} = \frac{1}{\pi }\mathop \smallint \limits_\alpha ^{\alpha + 2\pi } f\left( x \right)\cos nxdx;;{b_n} = \frac{1}{\pi }\mathop \smallint \limits_\alpha ^{\alpha + 2\pi } f\left( x \right)\sin nxdx\)

An even function is any function f such that f(-x) = f(x)

Example: cos x, sec x, x2, x4, x6 …….., x-2, x-4 ……..

An odd function is any function f such that f(-x) = -f(x)

Example: sin x, tan x, cosec x, cot x, n, x3 ……., x-1, x-3 ……..

\(\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - L}^L f\left( x \right)dx = \left{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {2\mathop \smallint \limits_0^L f\left( x \right)dx,;;when;f\left( x \right);is;an;even;function}\ {0,;;when;f\left( x \right);is;an;odd;function} \end{array}} \right.\)

When f is an even periodic function of period 2L, then its Fourier series contains only cosine (include possibly, the constant term) terms.

\(f\left( x \right) = \frac{{{a_o}}}{2} + \mathop \sum \limits_{n = 1}^\infty {a_n}\frac{{\cos n\pi x}}{L}\)

\({a_o} = \frac{1}{L}\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - L}^L f\left( x \right)dx = \frac{2}{L}\mathop \smallint \limits_0^L f\left( x \right)dx\)

\({a_n} = \frac{1}{L}\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - L}^L f\left( x \right)\cos \frac{{n\pi x}}{L}dx = \frac{2}{L}\mathop \smallint \limits_0^L f\left( x \right)\cos \frac{{n\pi x}}{L}dx\)

When f is an odd periodic function of period 2L, then its Fourier series contains only sine terms.

\(f\left( x \right) = \mathop \sum \limits_{n = 1}^\infty {b_n}\sin \frac{{n\pi x}}{L}\)

\({b_n} = \frac{1}{L}\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - L}^L f\left( x \right)\sin \frac{{n\pi x}}{L}dx = \frac{2}{L}\mathop \smallint \limits_0^L f\left( x \right)\sin \frac{{n\pi x}}{L}dx\)

Concept:

D flip-flop can be built using NAND gate or with NOR gate. Whenever the clock signal is LOW, the input is never going to affect the output state. The clock has to be high for the inputs to get active. Thus, D flip-flop is a controlled Bi-stable latch where the clock signal is the control signal. Again, this gets divided into positive edge triggered D flip flop and negative edge triggered D flip-flop

Truth table of D Flip-Flop:

Now output of 4 × 1 MUX is

Y = F = (P̅ Q̅) 0 + (P̅ Q)1 + (P Q̅) 1 + (P Q)0

∴ F = P Q̅ + P̅ Q = P ⊕ Q

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

High pass filter

At low frequencies,

 i.e. w=0: L S.Ci.e. \ w=0 : \ L\rightarrow\ S.C

 V0 =0V\therefore\ V_0\ =0V

similarly at higher frequencies,

 i.e.w=:L O.Ci.e. w=\infty:L\rightarrow\ O.C

 V0=iiR1\therefore\ V_0=i_iR_1  

So, the given circuit passes only high frequencies so it acts like a high pass filter.

Since the Gate and Drain of pull-down transistor is shorted. So it has operated in the saturation region, let pull up transistor operated in the saturation region.

Then ID1 = ID2

\(\frac{1}{2}{\mu n}{C{ox}}{\left( {\frac{\omega }{L}} \right)1}{\left( {{V{GS1}} - V_{T1}} \right)^2}\)

\( = \frac{1}{2}{\mu n}{C{ox}}{\left( {\frac{\omega }{L}} \right)2}{\left( {{V{Gs2}} - V_{T2}} \right)^2}\)

4 [5 – Vx - 1]2 = 1[Vx - 1]2

2(4 - Vx) = Vx – 1

9 = 3 Vx → Vx = 3V

VGS1 = 5 – 3 = 2, VDS1 = 6 – 3 = 3V

∴ VDS1 > (VGS1 – VT1)

So our assumption is correct

∴ Vx = 3 V

So option (3) is correct.

X(s)=1s+2+e6sand H(s)=1sX(s) = \frac{1}{s + 2} + e^{-6s} \text {and H}(s) = \frac{1}{s}

Y(s)=H(s)×(s)=1s(s+2)+e6ss=121s12(s+2)+e6ssY(s) = H(s) \times (s) = \frac{1}{s(s+2)}+\frac{e^{-6s}}{s}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{s}-\frac{1}{2(s+2)}+\frac{e^{-6s}}{s}

⇒ y(t) = 0.5(1 - e-2t) u(t) + u(t - 6)

Also If x(n)DFTX(k)x(n)\overset{DFT}{\longleftrightarrow} X(k)

The Conjugate symmetric property of DFT states:

X(k) = X*(N – k) 'or' X(N – k) = X*(k) 

Calculation:

Given, X(k) = {5, 1 - 3j, 0, 3 – 4j, 0, 3 + 4j, A, B]

Where A and B are the missing variable values.

Using the conjugate symmetric property of DFT: X(k) = X*(N – k)

We find X(6) = A = X*(8 – 6) = X*(2)

With X(2) = 0, X*(2) = 0

So, X(6) = A = 0

Similarly,

B = X(7) = X*(8 – 7) = X*(1)

With, X(1) = 1 – 3j

X(7) = X*(1) = 1+3j

So, A = 0 and B = 1 + 3j

Option (2) is therefore correct.

Concept:

The Y-parameter equation for two-port network is given by:

I1 = Y11V1 + Y12V2

I2 = Y21V1 + Y22V2

Calculation:

Given Y11 = 0.1, Y12 = 0.01, Y21 = 0.01 and Y22 = 0.1

Putting the respective values in the standard equation, we get:

I1=0.1V10.01V2{I_1} = 0.1{V_1} - 0.01{V_2}   ---(1)

I2=0.01V1+0.1V2{I_2} = 0.01{V_1} + 0.1{V_2}   ---(2)

Applying KVL at the output loop we get:

V2=100I2{V_2} = - 100{I_2}

I2=1100V2I_2=-\frac{1}{100}V_2

Putting this in Equation (2), we get:

1100V2=0.01V1+0.1V2-\frac{1}{100}V_2=0.01V_1+0.1V_2

  • 0.01V2 = 0.01V1 + 0.1V2

    i(t) = -5 exp(-2 × 103t)A

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

i(t) = 15 exp(-2 × 103t)A

Q = 2.5 mC

Vinitial=2.5×103C50×106FV_{initial} = \frac{2.5 × 10^{-3}C}{50 × 10^{-6}F}

Vinitial = 50 V 

Thus the net voltage = 100 + 50 = 150 V

The initial current at t = 0+ will be:

I = 150/10 = 15 A

The current at any time 't' will now be:

i(t)=15050i(t) = \frac{150}{50} exp(-2 × 103t) A = 15 exp(-2 × 103t)A

  2. ((b))

    λ = 6, μ ≠ 20

  3. ((c))

    λ ≠ 6, μ = 20

  4. ((d))

    λ ≠ 6, μ ≠ 20

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

λ = 6, μ ≠ 20

Concept:

The number of solutions can be determined by finding out the rank of the Augmented matrix and the rank of the Coefficient matrix.

  • If rank(Augmented matrix) = rank(Coefficient matrix) = no. of variables then no of solutions = 1.
  • If rank(Augmented matrix)  ≠ rank(Coefficient matrix) then no of solutions = 0.
  • If rank(Augmented matrix) = rank(Coefficient matrix) < no. of variables, no of solutions = infinite.

 

Calculation:

The augmented matrix for the system of equations is

\(\left[ {A{\rm{|}}B} \right] = \left[ {\left. {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 1&1&1\ 1&4&6\ 1&4&\lambda \end{array}} \right|\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 6\ {20}\ \mu \end{array}} \right]\)

Performing: R3 → R3 – R2

\(\left[ {A{\rm{|}}B} \right] = \left[ {\left. {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 1&1&1\ 1&4&6\ 0&0&{\lambda - 6} \end{array}} \right|\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 6\ {20}\ {\mu - 20} \end{array}} \right]\)      …

If λ = 6 and μ ≠ 20 then

Rank (A | B) = 3 and Rank (A) = 2

∵ Rank (A | B) ≠ Rank (A)

∴ Given the system of equations has no solution for λ = 6 and μ ≠ 20

The channel resistance of an N-channel JFET shown in the figure below is 600 Ω when the full channel thickness (tch) of 10 μm is available for conduction. The built-in voltage of the gate P+ N junction (Vbi) is – 1 V. When the gate to source voltage (VGS) is 0 V, the channel is depleted by 1 μm on each side due to the built-in voltage and hence the thickness available for conduction is only 8 μm.

Answer: ((c))

1000 Ω

1V built in potential deplete 1μm channel on each side. so, with an applied voltage of – 3V the width of the depletion region will be,

W2=W1Vbi+VRVbi=1μm[1+31]1/2=2μm{W_2} = {W_1}\sqrt {\frac{{{V_{bi}} + {V_R}}}{{{V_{bi}}}}} = 1\mu m{\left[ {\frac{{1 + 3}}{1}} \right]^{1/2}} = 2\mu m

So, with bias the effective channel width –

tch3=10μm2W2{t_{c{h_3}}} = 10\mu m - 2{W_2}( = 10\mu m - 2 \times 2=6\mu m\)

∴Channel resistance, rd3=rd1(tch1tch3){r_{{d_3}}} = {r_{{d_1}}}\left( {\frac{{{t_{c{h_1}}}}}{{{t_{c{h_3}}}}}} \right)( = 600\frac{{10\mu m}}{{6\mu m}}= 1000\ Ω\)

750 Ω

Resistance of the FET with respect with respect to channel thickness is given by

rd1tch{r_d} \propto \frac{1}{{{t_{ch}}}}

rd1rd2=tch2tch1\therefore \frac{{{r_{{d_1}}}}}{{{r_{{d_2}}}}} = \frac{{{t_{c{h_2}}}}}{{{t_{c{h_1}}}}}

or, 600Ωrd2=810=750Ω\frac{{600{\rm{\Omega }}}}{{{{\rm{r}}_{{{\rm{d}}_2}}}}} = \frac{{8}}{10} = 750{\rm{\Omega }}

G(s)H(s)=902tan1(ωp10)=180 \Rightarrow \angle G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = - 90^\circ - 2{\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{{\omega _p}}}{{10}}} \right) = - 180^\circ

Forward paths: 100/s3

Loops: -10/s, -10/s

Non touching loops: -10/s × -10/s

Transfer function = 100s31+100s2+20s\frac{\frac{100}{s^3}}{1+\frac{100}{s^2}+\frac{20}{s}}

=100s3s2+100+20ss2=100s(s+10)2= \frac{\frac{100}{s^3}}{\frac{s^2+100+20s}{s^2}} = \frac{100}{s(s+10)^2}

2:

Forward path: 100/s3

Loops: -20/s, -100/s2

Transfer function = 100s31+100s2+20s\frac{\frac{100}{s^3}}{1+\frac{100}{s^2}+\frac{20}{s}}

=100s3s2+100+20ss2=100s(s+10)2= \frac{\frac{100}{s^3}}{\frac{s^2+100+20s}{s^2}} = \frac{100}{s(s+10)^2}

2 and 3 are very similar. 

4:

Forward paths: 100/s3

Loops: -100/s2

Transfer function = 100s31+100s2\frac{\frac{100}{s^3}}{1+\frac{100}{s^2}}
