Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

27.64

Given:

(1.001)1259 = 3.52 and (1.001)2062 = 7.85

Concept used:

X(a + b) = X(a) × X(b)

Calculation:

⇒ (1.001)3321 = (1.001)1259 + 2062 

= (1.001)1259 × (1.001)2062

= 3.52 × 7.85

= 27.64

Hence, the correct answer is "27.64".

Key Points

  • Mixed Conditional Sentence: Mixed conditionals are conditional sentences that mix two different times in one sentence or we can say that the if-clause is not the same as the time in the result.
  • Structure for Mixed conditional (for present condition, past result):
  • If/when + past simple, would have + verb infinitive.
  • Example: 
  • If Sam spoke Russian, he would have translated the letter for you.
  • (But Sam doesn't speak Russian and that is why he didn't translate the letter.)
  • Note: Would can be replaced with should/might in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: If the tired soldier wanted to lie down, he should have taken the mattress out on the balcony. 

Additional Information

  • Conditional sentence:- As the name suggests, these sentences express conditions.
  • In conditional sentences, there are two clauses of the sentences. One is a conditional clause and another one is main clause.
  • Other Conditional sentences are-
Types of Conditional SentencesDefinition and examples
Zero conditional SentenceIt expresses a factual condition.
Structure: If/When+ present simple+ present simple
Example: If you put ice in milk, It melts
First Conditional SentenceIt expresses possible and likely future outcomes.
Structure: If/when+present simple, will+ verb infinitive.
Example: If it's hot tomorrow, I'll go for a swim
Second Conditional SentenceIt expresses an Imagination.
Structure: If/when + past simple, would + verb infinitive.
Example: If I finished work earlier, I would leave.
Third Conditional sentenceIt expresses a hypothetical situation.
Structure: If/when+ past perfect+would have+ past participle.
Example: If I had been sick, I would have gone to the doctor

One of the parts (A, B, C, D) in the sentence given below contains an ERROR. Which one of the following is INCORRECT?

I requested that he should be given the driving test today instead of tomorrow.

  1. ((a))

    requested that

  2. ((b))

    should be given

  3. ((c))

    the driving test

  4. ((d))

    instead of tomorrow

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

should be given

The correct answer is 'should be given'; i.e. the error lies in this part of the sentence.

Key Points

  • The given sentence is in active voice which represents a form or set of forms of a verb in which the subject is typically the person or thing performing the action and which can take a direct object.
  • Thus, the usage of 'be given' is incorrect which is used with a passive voice which is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the object of a sentence rather than subject.
  • Thus, 'should be given' needs to be replaced with 'should give'.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: 'I requested that he should give the driving test today instead of tomorrow.'

The correct answer is 'Thorough regimentation was the main reason for the efficiency of the Roman legions even in adverse circumstances.'

Key Points

  • Let's refer to the following lines of the passage:
  • In the legions, military law prevailed and discipline was brutal. Discipline on the battlefield kept units obedient, intact and fighting, even when the odds and conditions were against them.
  • Thus, from above we can infer that the correct answer is option 1.

Additional Information

  • Regimentation: organize according to a strict system or pattern.

Let's consider number of 10 rupee notes as 'x'

And number of 20 rupees notes as 'y'

Then total number of notes = x + y = 14 -------(1)

Total money = 10x + 20y = 230  ---------(2)

By solving (1) and (2), we get

x = 5 and y = 9

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

2

Explanation:

Divide 9 bags into three parts.

2,2 and 5 respectively.

If we compare the 2,2 bags on pans of a balance.

We can identify which side is the lighter bag placed.

And then we will need only one more weighing for identifying the faulty bag.

So only two weighings are required.

Alternative solution:

In the case of a weighing balance (i.e. beam balance) the following model can be observed.

1 - 3 → 1 weighing required

4 - 9 → 2 weighings required

10 - 27 → 3 weighings required

28 - 81 → 4 weighings required

And the process will go so on.

As there are nine objects. The minimum number of weighings required will be only 2.

Clothing1200
Rent2000
Savings1500
Other expenses1800
<br>

The approximate percentage of the monthly budget NOT spent on savings is

  1. ((a))

    10%

  2. ((b))

    14%

  3. ((c))

    81%

  4. ((d))

    86%

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

86%

Total budget = 10500 Rs

Expenditure  other than savings = 9000

The approximate percentage of the monthly budget NOT spent on savings is = (9000/ 10500) × 100

= 85.71 % ≈ 86%

A and B are friends. They decide to meet between 1 PM and 2 PM on a given day. There is a condition that whoever arrives first will not wait for the other for more than 15 minutes. The probability that they will meet on that day is

  1. ((a))

    1/4

  2. ((b))

    1/16

  3. ((c))

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

7/16

A meeting occurs if the person arrives between 1:00 PM and 1:45 PM and the second person arrives in the next 15 minutes or if both the persons arrive between 1:45 and 2:00.

Case 1:

45/60 are favorable cases and hence the probability of first-person arriving between 1:00 and 1:45 is 3/4.

Probability of second person arriving in the next 15 min = 15/60 = 1/4

So, the probability of one person arriving between 1:00 and 1:45 and meeting the other = 3/4 × 1/4 × 2 = 3/8 (2 for choosing the first arriving friend)

Case 2: 

Both friends must arrive between 1:45 and 2:00

Probability = 1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16

So, probability of a meet = 3/8 + 1/16 = 7/16

Hence, the correct answer is 7/16.

A plane wave propagating in air with E=(8a^x+6a^y+5a^z)ej(ωt+3x4y)Vm\vec E = \left( {8{{\hat a}_x} + 6{{\hat a}_y} + 5{{\hat a}_z}} \right){e^{j\left( {\omega t + 3x - 4y} \right)}}\frac{V}{m} is incident on a perfectly conducting slab positioned at x ≤ 0. The E\vec E field of the reflected wave is

  1. ((a))

    (8a^x6a^y5a^z)ej(ωt+3x+4y)Vm\left( { - 8{{\hat a}_x} - 6{{\hat a}_y} - 5{{\hat a}_z}} \right){e^{j\left( {\omega t + 3x + 4y} \right)}}\frac{V}{m}

  4. ((d))

    (8a^x+6a^y5a^z)ej(ωt3x4y)Vm\left( { - 8{{\hat a}_x} + 6{{\hat a}_y} - 5{{\hat a}_z}} \right){e^{j\left( {\omega t - 3x - 4y} \right)}}\frac{V}{m}

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

(8a^x6a^y5a^z)ej(ωt3x4y)Vm\left( { - 8{{\hat a}_x} - 6{{\hat a}_y} - 5{{\hat a}_z}} \right){e^{j\left( {\omega t - 3x - 4y} \right)}}\frac{V}{m}

The given waveform can be represented as:

E=(8a^x+6a^y+5a^z)ej(ωt+3x4y)\vec E = \left( {8{{\hat a}_x} + 6{{\hat a}_y} + 5{{\hat a}_z}} \right){e^{j\left( {\omega t + 3x - 4y} \right)}}

A perfect conductor will reflect  E\vec E completely

Et=6a^y+5a^z,;En=8a^x{\vec E_t} = 6{\hat a_y} + 5{\hat a_z},;{\vec E_n} = 8{\hat a_x}

For reflected wave E\vec E tangential component will cancel out tangential component of E\vec E so that net tangential field is zero.

i.e. Ert=(Et)=(6a^y+5a^z){\vec E_{{r_t}}} = - \left( {{{\vec E}_t}} \right) = - \left( {6{{\hat a}_y} + 5{{\hat a}_z}} \right)

Similarly for normal component, Ern=En=8ax{\vec E_{{r_n}}} = - {\vec E_n} = - \vec 8{a_x}

Since, the wave travelling is ‘-x’ & ‘+y’ direction and gets reflected at boundary x ≤ 0, the wave will travel along ‘+x’ & ‘+y’ direction.

Er=(8a^x6a^y5a^z)ej(ωt3x4y)V/m\Rightarrow {\vec E_r} = \left( { - 8{{\hat a}_x} - 6{{\hat a}_y} - 5{{\hat a}_z}} \right){e^{j\left( {\omega t - 3x - 4y} \right)}}V/m

Note: It is an Official GATE Question, asked in GATE EC 2012 Paper. Please understand that Marks to All was allotted for this particular Question. This is because, in any TEM wave, Poynting Theorem must be satisfied according to which the propagation direction and field direction should be perpendicular.

  3. ((c))

    1.2 GHz and right circular

  4. ((d))

    4 Hz and right circular

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

1.2 GHz and left circular

E=10(a^y+ja^z)ej25x\vec E = 10\left( {{{\hat a}_y} + j{{\hat a}_z}} \right){e^{ - j25x}}

⇒ since a^y=a^z\left| {{{\hat a}_y}} \right| = \left| {{{\hat a}_z}} \right|

⇒ Circular, due to phase difference of 90° between y and z, here phase difference between y component and x component is + π/2 hence the wave is left circular.

The x direction is into the plane 

to go in the direction of propogation while curling fingers in direction of rotation in circle, you have to use left hand.

Thus given wave is left hand circularly polarised

Let's consider v >.7 and the diode is forward biased. 

By applying KVL, we get

10 - I × 1k - v = 0

10 -[(v-.7)/(500)] × 1000 - v = 0

⇒ v = 3.8 V 

And v > .7 and our assumption is correct,

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

50 W

In phasor form:

Z = 4 – j3

Z = 5 ∠-36.86° Ω

I = 5 ∠100° A

Average power delivered will be:

Pavg=12I2Zcosθ%MathType!End!2!1!{P_{avg}} = \frac{1}{2}{\left| I \right|^2}Zcos\theta \% MathType!End!2!1!

= 50 W

Alternate Approach:

The power delivered to the load will simply be the power dissipated by the resistor R, i.e.

Pdelivered = IRMS2 R

With Im = 5, IRMS will be:

IRMS=52I_{RMS} = \frac{5}{\sqrt 2}

Pdelivered=(52)2×4P_{delivered} = (\frac{5}{\sqrt 2})^2\times 4

Pdelivered=252×4=50 WP_{delivered} =\frac{25}{2}\times 4 = 50~W

Multiplication of function in one domain corresponds to the differentiation in another domain

If f(t) having the Laplace transform F(s) then t ⋅ f(t) will have the transform as

  t f(t) ↔dF(s)ds - \frac{{dF\left( s \right)}}{{ds}}

Calculation:

Given function f(t) is . And  g(t) = t ⋅ f(t)

Laplace transform of g(t) is:

L[g(t)]=dds(1s2s+1)L[g(t)] = - \frac{d}{{ds}}\left( {\frac{1}{{{s^2}s + 1}}} \right)

=d(1)ds(s2+s+1)1×d(S2+S+1)ds(S2+S+1)2 = - \frac{{\frac{{d\left( 1 \right)}}{{ds}}\left( {{s^2} + s + 1} \right) - 1 \times \frac{{d\left( {{S^2} + S + 1} \right)}}{{ds}}}}{{{{\left( {{S^2} + S + 1} \right)}^2}}}

The diodes and capacitors in the circuit shown are ideal. The voltage V(t) across the diode D1 is:

  1. ((a))

    cos(ωt) – 1

  2. ((b))

    sin (ωt)

  3. ((c))

    1 – cos (ωt)

  4. ((d))

    1 – sin (ωt)

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

cos(ωt) – 1

At t = 0+, D1 will be ON and D2 will be OFF, and the capacitor will be instantly charged to 1 V as the current offered will be infinite.

This 1 V at the capacitor will reverse bias both the diodes, i.e. both D1 and D2 will be OFF and the voltage v(t) will be calculated as shown:

– cosωt + 1 + V(t) = 0

V(t) = cosωt - 1 

Hence option (1) is correct

Concept:

Information associated with the event is “inversely” proportional to the probability of occurrence.

Entropy: The average amount of information is called the “Entropy”.

\(H = ;\mathop \sum \limits_i {P_i}{\log _2}\left( {\frac{1}{{{P_i}}}} \right);bits/symbol\)

Rate of information = r.H

Calculation:

Given:

Three symbols with a probability of 0.25, 0.25, and 0.50 at the rate of 3000 symbols per second.

Entropy is given as;

 H=0.25log2(10.25)+0.25log210.25+0.5log210.5; H = 0.25{\log _2}\left( {\frac{1}{{0.25}}} \right) + 0.25{\log _2}\frac{1}{{0.25}} + 0.5{\log _2}\frac{1}{{0.5}};

=0.25×2+0.25×2+0.5×1 = 0.25 \times 2 + 0.25 \times 2 + 0.5 \times 1

= 1.5

Rate of information = r.H

= 1.5 × 3000

Also, the type of doping for the source and the drain of an n-channel MOSFET is n-type.

The dopant density at the source is the donor density only as the source is n-type.

Based on the information given for the two symbols waveforms, we see that the basis function is 2Tsin(ωct)\rm \sqrt {\frac{2}{T}} \sin \left( {{\omega _c}t} \right). Now the oscillator frequency is

2Tsin(ωct+45)\rm \sqrt {\frac{2}{T}} \sin \left( {{\omega _c}t + {{45}^\circ }} \right)

Using this, we calculate the vectors of demodulated symbols of  s1(t)\rm {s_1}\left( t \right) and s2(t)\rm {s_2}\left( t \right) along the basis function and get the following result.

S1=E2\rm {S_1} = \sqrt {\frac{E}{2}} and S2=E2\rm {S_2} = - \sqrt {\frac{E}{2}}

Now, distance between vectors d=2E2\rm d = 2\sqrt {\frac{E}{2}}

Now, using the relation that Pe=Q(d22No)=Q(4×E22No)=Q(ENo)\rm {P_e} = Q\left( {\sqrt {\frac{{{d^2}}}{{2{N_o}}}} } \right) = Q\left( {\sqrt {\frac{{4 \times \frac{E}{2}}}{{2{N_o}}}} } \right) = Q\left( {\sqrt {\frac{E}{{{N_o}}}} } \right)

Alternate Solution:

For BPSK

For coherent detection when there is phase synchronization between the carrier and received signal:

Pe=Q(2EbNo)P_e= Q\left( {\sqrt {\frac{2E_b}{{{N_o}}}} } \right)

For coherent detection when there is phase shift of ϕ  between the carrier and received signal:

Pe=Q(2EbCos2ϕNo)P_e= Q\left( {\sqrt {\frac{2E_bCos^2\phi}{{{N_o}}}} } \right)

Substituting the values Cos2 ϕ = 1/2

Pe=Q(ENo)P_e = Q\left( {\sqrt {\frac{E}{{{N_o}}}} } \right)

1.58 m

For 429 MHz, ;l1=λ14=c4f1;{l_1} = \frac{{{\lambda _1}}}{4} = \frac{c}{{4{f_1}}}

l1=0.175;m\Rightarrow {l_1} = 0.175;m

for 1GHz, l2=λ24=c4f2=0.075;m{l_2} = \frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{4} = \frac{c}{{4{f_2}}} = 0.075;m

The length of the transmission line l should be an odd integral multiple of both l1l_1and l2l_2

l=LCM(l1,l2)=0.525m \Rightarrow l = LCM\left( {{l_1},{l_2}} \right) = 0.525m .....(0.525=3×0.175=7×0.075)(0.525 = 3 × 0.175 = 7 × 0.075)

Since ll is not in options we have take integral of l:

l' = 3l = 1.575 m ≈ 1.58 m

The input x(t) and output y(t) of a system are related as y(t)=tx(τ)cos(3τ)dτ.y(t)=\int_{-\infty}^t x(\tau)cos(3\tau)d\tau. The system is

  4. ((d))

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

not time-invariant and not stable

  1. Time Invariant and Time Variant System:

If in a system, a delay in the input leads to same delay in the output, then such system is known as time invariant system. Otherwise It will be time variant system.

  1. Stable and Unstable system:

The system is sold to be stable only when the bounded output for the input.

For a bounded input if output is unbounded then system is said to be UNSTABLE.

Condition:

\(\mathop \smallint \nolimits_{ - \infty }^\infty \left| {h\left( t \right)} \right|dt < \infty \) or finite.

Where h(t) is impulse response of system.

Solution:

Given, \(y\left( t \right) = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_{ - \infty }^t x\left( \tau \right)\cos \left( {3\tau} \right)d\tau\) 

Check for time-invariance:

Since y’(t) ≠ y (t – t0) so it is time-variant

Stability:

Suppose input x(t) = cos 3t

\(y\left( t \right) = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_{ - \infty }^t {\cos ^2}3\tau dt = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_{ - \infty }^t \left( {\frac{{1 + \cos 6\tau }}{2}} \right)d\tau ;\)

\(y\left( t \right) = [\left. {\frac{1}{2}t\tau } \right|{ - \infty }^t + \frac{1}{2}\sin \left. {\frac{{6\tau }}{6}} \right|{ - \infty }^t\)

Since y(t) → ∞, it is unbounded of P so this is an unstable system.

TRICK:

→ check for stability: try to find at least one input value for which output will be unbounded.

e.g. y(t)=ex(t5)t5y\left( t \right) = \frac{{{e^x}\left( {t - 5} \right)}}{{t - 5}} at t = 5 y(t) → ∞ - unbounded.

→ check for variance: If any coefficient if input is function of time (t) then it will be time variant.

e.g. tx(t), etx(t), sin t x(t)

  4. ((d))

    k = 2 and a = 0.5

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

k = 2 and a = 0.75

System oscillates if row of zero occurs

That occurs when a(k+2)(k+1)a=0\frac{{a\left( {k + 2} \right) - \left( {k + 1} \right)}}{a} = 0

ak + 2a = k + 1

a=k+1k+2a = \frac{{k + 1}}{{k + 2}}

System oscillates at ω = 2 rad/sec

as2 + k + 1 = 0

k+1k+2s2+k+1=0\frac{{k + 1}}{{k + 2}}{s^2} + k + 1 = 0

s2 = – (k + 2)

s=±k+2;js = \pm \sqrt {k + 2} ;j

Comparing

k = 2

a=k+1k+2=2+12+2=0.75a = \frac{{k + 1}}{{k + 2}} = \frac{{2 + 1}}{{2 + 2}} = 0.75

H(jω)=(2cosω)(sin2ω)ω =sin3ωω+sinωω\begin{array}{l} H\left( {j\omega } \right) = \frac{{\left( {2\cos \omega } \right)\left( {\sin 2\omega } \right)}}{\omega }\ = \frac{{\sin 3\omega }}{\omega } + \frac{{sin\omega }}{\omega } \end{array}

We know that the inverse Fourier transform of sinc function is a rectangular function.

A rect(tτ)Aτ Sa(ωτ2)A~rect(\frac{t}{\tau}) \leftrightarrow A \tau ~Sa(\frac{\omega \tau}{2})

Now,

Sa(ωτ2)=sin (ωτ2)ωτ2Sa(\frac{\omega \tau}{2}) = \frac{sin~(\frac{\omega \tau}{2})}{\frac{\omega \tau}{2}}

\(\frac{sin 3\omega}{\omega} = 3 \frac{sin(3\omega)}{3\omega}\)

By comparing, we get

τ/2=3,Aτ=3\tau/2 = 3, A\tau = 3

hence, A = 0.5

2) 

\(\frac{sin \omega}{\omega} = 1\times \frac{sin(\omega \times 1)}{\omega \times 1}\)

By comparing, we get

τ/2=1,Aτ=1\tau/2 = 1, A\tau = 1

hence, A = 0.5

 

So, inverse Fourier transform of H (jω)

h(t) = h(t) + h2(t)

h(0) = h1(0) + h2­­(0)

12+12=1\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2} = 1

\({Q_c} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0&0&{{a_1}{a_2}}\ 0&{{a_2}}&0\ 1&0&0 \end{array}} \right]\)

System is controllable if |QC| ≠ 0

a1a2 (0 – a2) ≠ 0

a1a220- {a_1} \cdot a_2^2 \ne 0

Hence condition for controllability is

a1 ≠ 0, a2 ≠ 0, a3 = 0

d2ydt2+2dydt+y=δ(t)\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{t^2}}} + \frac{{2dy}}{{dt}} + y = \delta \left( t \right)

We know that, If y(t)Zy(s)y\left( t \right)\mathop \leftrightarrow \limits^Z y\left( s \right)

Then, dydtZsy(s)y(0)\frac{{dy}}{{dt}}\mathop \leftrightarrow \limits^Z sy\left( s \right) - y\left( 0 \right)

So, sy(s)y(0)=s+2(s+1)2=1s+1+1(s+1)2sy\left( s \right) - y\left( 0 \right) = \frac{{s + 2}}{{{{\left( {s + 1} \right)}^2}}} = \frac{1}{{s + 1}} + \frac{1}{{{{\left( {s + 1} \right)}^2}}}

Taking inverse Laplace,

dydt=etu(t)+tetu(t)\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = {e^{ - t}}u\left( t \right) + t{e^{ - t}}u\left( t \right)

At t=0+,dydtt=0+=e0+0=1t = {0^ + },\frac{{dy}}{{dt}}{|_{t = {0^ + }}} = {e^0} + 0 = 1

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

0.1

Concept:

The decision making algorithm used in optimum receiver is as follows:

If r0 is received, m0 is chosen only if:

p(r0 / m0) p(m0) > p(r0 / m1) p(m1)

And if r1 is received, m1 is chosen only if:

p(r1 / m1) p(m1) > p(r1 / m0) p(m0)

Analysis:

Given:

p(m0) = 0.9

p(m1) = 1 – 0.9 = 0.1

p(r0 / m0) = 0.9

p(r0 / m1) = 0.4

p(r1 / m0) = 0.1

p(r1 / m1) = 0.6

Now, test p(r0 / m0) p(m0) > p(r0 / m1) p(m1)

0.9 × 0.9 > 0.4 × 0.1 ; (true)

Decision: Choose m0 for received r0.

Test p(r1 / m1) p(m1) > p(r1 / m0) p(m0)

0.6 × 0.1 > 0.1 × 0.9 ; (not true)

Decision: Choose m0 for received r1.

In fact, in the given situation, the optimum receiver always decides in favor of m0 irrespective of whether r0 or r1 is received.

Now, the Probability of correct reception will be:

Pc = p(r0 / m0) p(m­0) + p(r1 / m0) p(m0)

= 0.9 × 0.9 + 0.1 × 0.9 = 0.9

BER = p(ε) = 1 - Pc

BER = 1 – 0.9 = 0.1

Hz=Hocos(mπax)cos(nπby)cos(6.283×1010tβz)\rm H_z=H_o\cos{\left(\frac{m\pi}{a}x\right)}\cos{\left(\frac{n\pi}{b}y\right)}\cos{\left(6.283\times 10^{10}t-\beta z\right)}

Comparing with 

Hz=3cos(2.094×102x)cos(2.618×102y)cos(6.283×1010tβz)\rm {H_z} = 3\cos \left( {2.094 \times {{10}^2}x} \right)\cos \left( {2.618 \times {{10}^2}y} \right)\cos \left( {6.283 \times {{10}^{10}}t - \beta z} \right)

we have

mπa=2.094×102\rm \frac{m\pi}{a}=2.094\times 10^2

m=2.094×102×0.03π=2\rm \Rightarrow m=\frac{2.094\times 10^2\times 0.03}{\pi}=2

Similarly, nπa=2.618×102\rm \frac{n\pi}{a}=2.618\times 10^2

n=2.618×102×0.012π=1\rm \Rightarrow n=\frac{2.618\times 10^2\times 0.012}{\pi}=1

Thus, the mode of propagation is TE21\rm {TE}_{21}

Now, cutoff frequency of this mode assuming air as the dielectric medium by default,

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

fc=3×1082(20.03)2+(10.012)2\rm \Rightarrow f_c=\frac{3\times 10^8}{2}\sqrt{\left(\frac{2}{0.03}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{0.012}\right)^2}

fc=16 GHz\rm\Rightarrow f_c=16\ GHz

Now, operating frequency f=6.283×10102π=10 GHz\rm f=\frac{6.283\times 10^{10}}{2\pi}=10\ GHz

We see that operating frequency is less than the cut-off frequency. Hence there will be no propagation.

Thus, vp=0\rm v_p=0

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

high pass filter with f3dB=1R1C:rad/sf_{3dB}=\frac{1}{R_1C}:rad/s

Active high pass filter:

The simplest HPF using an operational amplifier can be achieved by placing a capacitor in series with one of the resistors in the inverting amplifier circuit as shown.

Apply KCL at the inverting terminal node, we get

Vi0R1+1jωC=0V0R2\frac{{{V_i} - 0}}{{{R_1} + \frac{1}{{jω C}}}} = \frac{{0 - {V_0}}}{{{R_2}}}

V0Vi=R2R1+1jωC ⇒ \frac{{{V_0}}}{{{V_i}}} = \frac{{ - {R_2}}}{{{R_1} + \frac{1}{{jω C}}}}

Case 1:

If the frequency ω = 0 rad/sec

 V0Vi=R2R1+10=R2R1+=0 \Rightarrow \frac{{{V_0}}}{{{V_i}}} = \frac{{ - {R_2}}}{{{R_1} + \frac{1}{0}}} = \frac{{ - {R_2}}}{{{R_1} + ∞ }} = 0

So, for the frequency ω = 0, the output V0 =0

Case 2:

If the frequency ω = ∞ rad/sec

V0Vi=R2R1+1=R2R1+0=R2R1 \Rightarrow \frac{{{V_0}}}{{{V_i}}} = \frac{{ - {R_2}}}{{{R_1} + \frac{1}{∞ }}} = \frac{{ - {R_2}}}{{{R_1} + 0}} = \frac{{ - {R_2}}}{{{R_1}}}

So, for frequency ω = ∞ , the output V0=R2R1Vi{V_0} = \frac{{ - {R_2}}}{{{R_1}}}{V_i}

By, observing case 1 and case 2 we can say that the above circuit is allowing high frequencies but the lower frequencies are not allowed. Hence the above circuit is a high pass filter (HPF)

And the cutoff frequency or the breakpoint of the filter can be calculated very easily by working out of the frequency at which the reactance of the capacitor equals the resistance resistor to which the capacitor is connected in series.

So, Xc = R1

1ωc;C=R1 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{{ω _c};C}} = {R_1}

ωc=1R1C \Rightarrow {ω _c} = \frac{1}{{{R_1}C}}

Where ωc is the cutoff frequency in rad/sec.

Let y[n] denote the convolution of h[n] and g[n], where h[n] = (1/2)n u[n] and g[n] is a causal sequence. If y[0] = 1 and y[1] = ½, then g[1] equals

  1. ((a))

    0

  2. ((b))

    ½

  3. ((c))

    1

  4. ((d))

    3/2

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

0

Convolution sum is defined as

\(y\left[ n \right] = h\left[ n \right]*g\left[ n \right] = \mathop \sum \limits_{k = - \infty }^\infty h\left[ k \right]g\left[ {n - k} \right]\)

For causal sequence,

y[n] = h[0] g[n] + h[1] g [n-1] + h[2] g[n-2] +….

For n = 0,

y[0] = h[0] g[0] + h[1] g[-1] +…..

= h [0] g[0]            (g[-1] = g[-2] =……..0)

y[0] = h[0] g[0]

For. n =1,  y [1] = h [0] g [1] + h [1] g [0] + h [2] g [-1] + ……

y [1] = h [0] g [1] + h [1] g [0] +....

12=g[1]+12g[0]\frac{1}{2} = g\left[ 1 \right] + \frac{1}{{2}}g\left[ 0 \right]

Now, g[0]=y[0]h[0]=11=1g\left[ 0 \right] = \frac{{y\left[ 0 \right]}}{{h\left[ 0 \right]}} = \frac{1}{1} = 1

g [1] = 0.5 - 0.5 = 0.

The signal m (t) as shown in figure below is applied both to a phase modulator (with kp as the phase constant) and a frequency modulator with (kf as the frequency constant) having the same carrier frequency(given m(t) maximum amplitude is 2). The ratio kp / kf (in rad/Hz) for the same maximum phase deviation is

  1. ((a))

  2. ((b))

    8 π

  3. ((c))

    π

  4. ((d))

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Given similar carrier frequency is used in both FM and PM modulation

Instantaneous phase in PM is given by θi(t) = ωct + kpm(t)

Instantaneous phase in FM is given by θi(t) = ωct + kf

Maximum phase deviation in PM is:

Δθ = Kp x Max (m(t)) 

= Kp x 2

While in FM, it will be:

kf x 2π x max (\( \mathop \smallint \limits_0^t m\left( t \right)dt\) )

= 2π kf x 4

Given phase deviation for both modulations are equal, we can write:

8 π kf = 2 Kp

kp / kf = 4π

Answer: ((d))

Concept:

Output expression (Y) for 2 × 1 MUX is given as

Y = A̅ x0 + A x1          ---(1)

The next state (Qn + 1) of D flip flop is:

Qn + 1 = D           ---(2)

Analysis:

From given circuit:

D = Y, x1 = Q, x0 = Q̅

We know that

Y = A̅ x0 + A x1

From given data,

D = A̅ Q̅ + AQ

From eqn (2) θn+1 = A̅ Q̅ + A Q

APresent state (Q)Next state (Qn+1)
00Q = 1
01Q = 0
10Q = 0
11Q = 1

   

So, the state transition diagram will be:

In ac analysis capacitor is short circuited and

VBEVin10K+VBEVout100K=0\frac{{{V_{BE}} - {V_{in}}}}{{10K}} + \frac{{{V_{BE}} - {V_{out}}}}{{100K}} = 0

VBE = 0.7 ≃ 0

Vin10=Vout100AV=VoutVin=10\therefore \frac{{ - {V_{in}}}}{{10}} = \frac{{{V_{out}}}}{{100}} \to \left| {{A_V}} \right| = \left| {\frac{{{V_{out}}}}{{{V_{in}}}}} \right| = 10

So option (4) is correct

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

-5 V

VA – VB = 6 V

So current in the branch will be

IAB = 6/2 = 3 A

We can see, that the circuit is a one part circuit looking from terminal BD as shown below

For a one port network current entering one terminal, equals the current leaving the second terminal. Thus the outgoing current from A to B will be equal to the incoming current from D to C as shown.

i.e. IDC = IAB = 3 A

The total current in the resistor 1 Ω will be

I1 = 2 + IDC

= 2 + 3 = 5 A

VCD = 1 × (-I1)

= -5 V

f(x)=x39x2+24x+5;f\left( x \right) = {x^3} - 9{x^2} + 24x +5;

f(x)=3x218x+24{f^{'\left( x \right)}} = 3{x^2} - 18x + 24

f(x)=6x18{f^{''\left( x \right)}} = 6x - 18

To find maxima or minima

f(x)=0{f^{'\left( x \right)}} = 0

3x218x+24=03{x^2} - 18x + 24 = 0

x26x+8=0{x^2} - 6x + 8 = 0

x = 4 or x = 2

If x = 4

f'’(4) = 6

f'’(4) > 0

∴ minima may fall at 4 in the given domain

If x = 2

f'’(2) = -6

f'’(2) < 0

∴ maxima may fall at 2 in the given domain

Check the boundary condition along with x = 4 and x = 2

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

19A + 30I

Concept:

  • Cayley - Hamilton theorem states that every square matrix A satisfies its own characteristic equation. i.e. p(A) = 0.
  • The characteristic polynomial of a matrix A is defined as: p(λ) = |λI - A|.
  • Identity Matrix:

An identity matrix is a matrix in which the diagonal elements are 1 and all the other elements are 0.

A 3×3 identity matrix is I = \(\rm \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \0 & 1 & 0 \0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\).

Matrix Multiplication by an Identity matrix results in the same matrix.

 

Calculation:

Let us find the characteristic polynomial p(λ) of the given matrix A = [53 20]\rm \begin{bmatrix} -5 & -3\ 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix}.

p(λ) = |λI - A|

⇒ p(λ) = λ+53 2λ\rm \begin{vmatrix} \lambda+5 & 3\ -2 & \lambda \end{vmatrix}

⇒ p(λ) = (λ )(λ +5) + (2)(3)

⇒ p(λ) = λ2 + 5λ + 6 

According to the Cayley - Hamilton theorem, p(A) = 0.

⇒ A2 + 5A + 6I = 0  --------(1)

⇒ A2 = - 5A - 6I ---------(2)

By multiplying equation (1) with A, we get

A3 + 5A2 + 6A = 0

⇒ A3 = -5 A2 -6A = -5 (- 5A - 6I ) -6A = 19 A + 30I

Additional Information

Matrix Multiplication:

  • Multiplication is only possible when the number of columns of the first matrix is equal to the number of rows of the second matrix.
  • A m×n matrix multiplied by a n×p matrix results in a m×p matrix.
  • Matrices are multiplied by multiplying each element of a row of the first m×n matrix with the corresponding elements of all the columns of the second n×p matrix to obtain the first row of the product matrix with p columns, and so on for all the m rows of the first matrix.

This is a linear network, so Vth­ at port B can be written as

Vth = V1 α + β

Where V1 is the input applied at port A.

We have V1 = 10 V, Vth,10 V = 9 V

9 = 10 α + β

when V1 = 6 V, Vth,6 V = 9 V

7 = 6 α + β

⇒ α = 0.5, β = 4

Thus, with any voltage V1 applied at port A, thevenin voltage or open circuit voltage at port B will be

The source touches the body on all the five side except the top face. Hence, the total side wall area in contact with body is

A=(0.2μm×1μm)+(0.2μm×1μm)+(0.2μm×1μm)+2(0.2μm×0.2μm)\rm A = (0.2 μm × 1μm) + (0.2 μm × 1μm) + (0.2 μm × 1μm) + 2 (0.2 μm ×0.2 μm)

Now,

CSB=ϵsiAW\rm {C_{SB}} = \frac{{{\epsilon_{si}}A}}{W}

Where, W = width of the depletion region = 10nm

CSB=11.7×8.9×1012×0.68×101210×109\rm \therefore {C_{SB}} = \frac{{11.7 × 8.9 × {{10}^{ - 12}} × 0.68 × {{10}^{ - 12}}}}{{10 × {{10}^{ - 9}}}}

Magnetic flux density at a distance ‘r’ from the wire is

B=μo.I2πr\left| {\vec B} \right| = \frac{{{\mu _o}.I}}{{2\pi r}}

For r<a,;I=J.πr2r < a,;I = J.\pi {r^2}.......(uniform current density)

B=μo.Jπa22πr=μoJa22.1rB1r \Rightarrow \left| {\vec B} \right| = \frac{{{\mu _o}.J\pi {a^2}}}{{2\pi r}} = \frac{{{\mu _o}J{a^2}}}{2}.\frac{1}{r} \Rightarrow \left| {\vec B} \right| \propto \frac{1}{r}

A hole of radius b (b < a) is now drilled along the length of the wire at a distance d from  the center of the wire as shown below.

The magnetic field inside the hole is

  1. ((a))

    uniform and depends only on d

  2. ((b))

    uniform and depends only on b

  3. ((c))

    uniform and depends on both b and d

  4. ((d))

    non uniform

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

uniform and depends only on d

At all points in the hole, magnetic field depends on current enclosed, which will depend on surface area of wire conducting the current. This can be calculated by simple geometry which depends on only on the distance vector between radius of wire and radius of hole.

The transfer function of a compensator is given as

Gc(S)=s+as+bG_c(S)=\frac{s+a}{s+b}

64

Gc(s) is a lead compensator if

  1. ((a))

    a = 1, b = 2

  2. ((b))

    a = 3, b = 2

  3. ((c))

    a = -3, b = -1

  4. ((d))

    a = 3, b = 1

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

a = 1, b = 2

Concept:

The general expression for a lead compensator is;

G(s)=(α)(1+Ts)(1+αTs)G\left( s \right)=\frac{\left( \alpha \right)\left( 1+Ts \right)}{\left( 1+\alpha Ts \right)}

And for a lead compensator α < 1

Analysis:

Given lead compensator expression is;

Gc(s)=k(s+a)(s+b){{G}_{c}}\left( s \right)=\frac{k\left( s+a \right)}{\left( s+b \right)}

On comparing it with the standard expression we get;

T=1a ,  αT=1bT=\frac{1}{a}~,~~\alpha T=\frac{1}{b}

αa=1bα=ab\Rightarrow \frac{\alpha }{a}=\frac{1}{b}\Rightarrow \alpha =\frac{a}{b}

⇒ a < b

Only two options are valid as per the above condition, options 1 and 3

But we can't go with option 3, because for lead compensator zero is near to the origin compared to pole.

Hence, a = 1, b = 2

65

The phase of the above lead compensator is maximum at

  1. ((a))

    √2 rad/s

  2. ((b))

    √3 rad/s

  3. ((c))

    √6 rad/s

  4. ((d))

    1/√3 rad/s

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

√2 rad/s

Maximum phase at frequency

Gc(s)=s+1s+2=1+s1+0.5s\rm {G_c}\left( s \right) = \frac{{s + 1}}{{s + 2}} = \frac{{1 + s}}{{1 + 0.5s}}

Comparing T=1,αT=0.5\rm T = 1, αT = 0.5

α=0.5\rm α = 0.5
