((a))
Improvement, neglected
((b))
Rejection, approved
((c))
Fame, glum

Correct answer: Option 1.
The sentence implies that there is immense scope in the area of tourism and that it should be improved upon.
'Improvement' and 'neglected' are two words which are opposite to each other.
Note: Option 3 cannot be correct because tourism in itself cannot be famous. A country or place can be famous due to its tourism policies.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

715423
Let the missing number be ‘x’
For divisibility by 3, the sum of all the digits should be divisible by 3.
The sum of all the digits will be:
= 7 + 1 + 5 + x + 4 + 2 + 3 + 13 + x + 9
= 22 + x
Now, the nearest multiple of ‘3’ is 24. We can, therefore, write:
22 + x = 24
x = 24 – 22
x = 2
Cross check:
For x = 2,
The sum of the digits is, therefore:
= 22 + 2 = 24
Since 24 is divisible by 3, the smallest whole number in the place of _ will be 2

A → Gold : Copper 2 : 3
B → Gold : Copper 3 : 7
Since equal of alloys A and B are melted to make the alloy C, we multiply the ratio of Gold : Copper in A by 2 to get:
A = 4 : 6
Now,
A = 4 : 6 Weight = 4 + 6 = 10 units
B = 3 : 7 Weight = 3 + 7 = 10 units
Weight in the mixture will be:

The Cricket Board has long recognized John's potential as a leader of the team. However, his on-field temper has always been a matter of concern for them since his junior days. While this aggression has filled stadiums with die-hard fans, it has taken a toll on his own batting. Until recently, it appeared that he found it difficult to convert his aggression into big scores. Over the past three seasons though, that picture of John has been replaced by a cerebral, calculative and successful batsman-captain. After many years, it appears that the team has finally found a complete captain.
Which of the following statements can be logically inferred from the above paragraph?
i) Even as a junior cricketer, John was considered a good captain.
ii) Finding a complete captain is a challenge.
iii) Fans and the Cricket Board have differing views on what they want in a captain.
iv) Over the past three seasons, John has accumulated big scores.

((d))
(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Show Answer
Answer: ((c))
(ii) and (iv) only
Option (i) which says 'Even as a junior cricketer, John was considered a good captain.' is incorrect as there is no information provided in the passage to support this inference. We do not know if John was a captain as a junior cricketer.
Option (iii) which says 'Fans and the Cricket Board have differing views on what they want in a captain.' is incorrect because while we know that fans love John's aggression from the phrase 'While this aggression has filled stadiums with die-hard fans', but there is no information provided in the passage to support the Cricket Board's view of John.
Option (ii) which says 'Finding a complete captain is a challenge.' is correct as the passage talks about the difficulties John faces while he was the captain. It is very difficult to find a captain who can be 'complete' throughout the captainship.
Option (iv) which says 'Over the past three seasons, John has accumulated big scores.' is correct as it is given in the passage that while earlier John 'found it difficult to convert his aggression into big scores', but 'Over the past three seasons though' he became a 'cerebral, calculative and successful batsman-captain'. From this, inference (iv) can be safely inferred.
Hence the correct answer is option 3.

A coastal region with unparalleled beauty is home to many species of animals. It is dotted with coral reefs and unspoiled white sandy beaches. It has remained inaccessible to tourists due to poor connectivity and lack of accommodation. A company has spotted the opportunity and is planning to develop a luxury resort with helicopter service to the nearest major city airport. Environmentalists are upset that this would lead to the region becoming crowded and polluted like any other major beach resorts.
Which one of the following statements can be logically inferred from the information given in the above paragraph?
((a))
The culture and tradition of the local people will be influenced by the tourists.
((b))
The region will become crowded and polluted due to tourism.
((c))
The coral reefs are on the decline and could soon vanish.
((d))
Helicopter connectivity would lead to an increase in tourists coming to the region.
Show Answer
Answer: ((d))
Helicopter connectivity would lead to an increase in tourists coming to the region.
Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect as they are assumptions.
Only option 4 which says 'Helicopter connectivity would lead to an increase in tourists coming to the region.' can be logically inferred from the passage. This is because the passage mentions in the beginning that the coastal region has remained 'inaccessible to tourists due to poor connectivity' which would not be the case once a 'helicopter service to the nearest major city airport' is established.
Hence option 4 is the correct answer.

Two identical NMOS transistors M1 and M2 are connected as shown below. The circuit is used as an amplifier with the input connected between G and S terminals and the output taken between D and S terminals. Vbias and VD are so adjusted that both transistors are in saturation. The transconductance of this combination is defined as \({{\rm{g}}{\rm{m}}} = \frac{{\partial {{\rm{i}}{\rm{D}}}}}{{\partial {{\rm{V}}{{\rm{GS}}}};}}\) while the output resistance is \({{\rm{r}}{\rm{o}}} = \frac{{\partial {{\rm{V}}{{\rm{GS}}}};}}{{\partial {{\rm{i}}{\rm{D}}}}}{\rm{;}}\), where iD is the current flowing into the drain of M2. Let gm1, gm2 be the transconductances and r01, r02 be the output resistances of transistors M1 and M2, respectively.
Which of the following statements about estimates for gm and r0 is correct?
In the circuit shown below, the op-amp is ideal and the Zener voltage of the diode is 2.5 volts. At the input, unit step voltage is applied, i.e. VIN (t) = u(t) Volts. Also, at t = 0, the voltage across each of the capacitors is zero.
The time 't', in milliseconds, at which the output voltage VOUT crosses −10 V is:
((a))
2.5
((b))
5
((c))
7.5
((d))
10
Show Answer
Answer: ((c))
7.5
Concept:
A capacitor does not allow a sudden change in voltage, i.e.
VC(0+) = VC(0-)
Application:
Initially, both the capacitor voltages are zero, i.e.
VC1 (0-) = VC2 (0-) = 0 V
At t = 0, when the switch is closed, initially the Zener will be open-circuited and remains the same till the voltage across C2 becomes greater than its breakdown voltage i.e. 2.5 volts.
Applying KCL at node A, we get:
IC=I=1k1−0=1mA
We observe that the current through both the capacitors is constant, and hence it is a case of linear charging of capacitors. As the initial voltage is zero, hence the voltage across C1 and C2 for t > 0 is given as:
\({V_{{C_1}}}\left( t \right) = \frac{1}{{{C_1}}}\mathop \smallint \limits_0^t {I_C}dt = 1000\left| t \right|_0^t\) ---(1)
Since VC1 = VC2, we get:
\({V_{{C_2}}}\left( t \right) = \frac{1}{{{C_2}}}\mathop \smallint \limits_0^t {I_C}~dt = 1000\left| t \right|_0^t\)
Applying KVL starting from point A and ending at output V0, we get:
VA + VC1 + VC2 + V0 = 0 (where VA = 0)
V0 = - (VC1 + VC2)
Cut in voltage of Zener diode = 2.5 V
∴ When VC2(t) = 2.5 V, breakdown of the Zener diode will occur and the voltage will be fixed to the Zener voltage of 2.5 V, i.e.
When VC1(t) = VC2(t) = 2.5 V(Zener turns on)
Using Equation (1), the time required to reach 2.5 V is calculated as:
2.5=1000×t1
∴ t1 = 2.5 ms (Zener : ON)
But we need Vo = -10 V
∴ C1 must continue to charge up to 7.5 V. Since the charging is linear, the time required to charge to another 5 V will be calculated using the same Equation (1) as:
5=1000×t2
t2=5;msec
∴ the total times at which the output Voltage (Vout) crosses (- 10) V will be:
T = t1 + t2 = (2.5 + 5) msec = 7.5 ms

Let the input be u and the output is y of a system, and the other parameters are real constants. Identify which among the following systems is not a linear system:
A system is said to be linear if it satisfies to properties:
Additivity:
If states that, if an input x1(t) produces output y1(t) and another input x2(t) also acting along produces output y2(t), then, when path inputs acting on the system simultaneously, produce output y1(t) + y2(t).
If x1(t) → y1(t)
x2(t) → y2(t)
then x1(t) + x2(t) → y1(t) + y2(t)
Homogeneity:
It states that if input is scaled by c, then output also scaled by same amount.
if x1(t) → y1(t)
then cx1(t) → cy1(t): c is any real or Imaginary number
Solution:
y = au + b
y(t) = au(t) + b
u(t) = u1(t) + u2(t)
y(t) = au1(t) + au2(t) + b
y(t) ≠ [au1(t) + b] + [au2(t) + b]
y(t) ≠ y1(t) + y2(t)
Hence the system is non linear
y = au + b is a nonlinear system

The Nyquist stability criterion and the Routh criterion both are powerful analysis tools for determining the stability of feedback controllers. Identify which of the following statements is FALSE:
((a))
Both the criteria provide information relative to the stable gain range of the system.
((b))
The general shape of the Nyquist plot is readily obtained from the Bode magnitude plot for all minimum-phase systems.
((c))
The Routh criterion is not applicable in the condition of transport lag, which can be readily handled by the Nyquist criterion.
((d))
The closed-loop frequency response for a unity feedback system cannot be obtained from the Nyquist plot.
Show Answer
Answer: ((d))
The closed-loop frequency response for a unity feedback system cannot be obtained from the Nyquist plot.
Both Nyquist and RH criteria can be used to find the range of gain (k) for the system to be stable
Bode plot can be used to find the transfer function which further can be used to determine the Nyquist Plot.
RH criteria do not give accurate terms in case of exponential terms, an approximation can be obtained using exponential expansion up to 1st degree
Nyquist plots are the continuation of polar plots for finding the stability of the closed-loop control systems by varying ω from −∞ to ∞.
Derivation:
Let us consider O.L.T.F of a unity feedback system as:
G(s)=s(s+a)K
This represents a type = 1 and order – 2 system for which the Nyquist plot will be as shown below:
The closed-loop transfer function for the system is given as:
T(s)=1+G(s)G(s)=1+[s(s+a)K]K/s(s+a)
T(s)=s2+as+KK
We can draw its Nyquist plot by simply substituting s = jω and obtain polar coordinates of T(jω) for different values of ω as:
T(jω)=(jω)2+jaω+KK
T(0)=0+0+KK=1
T(∞) = 0
So, the statement given in option (D) is false.

Concept:
If p(s) has 'n' real roots, then p'(s) will have at least 'n - 1' real roots.
Application:
Given p(s) = s3 + a2 s2 + a1s + a0
p'(s) = 3s2 + 2a2s + a1
Also given that p'(s) has no real roots, therefore, we can write:
n - 1 = 0
n = Number of real roots in p(s)
∴ n = 1

Answer: ((d))
On an average, electrons drift and diffuse in the same direction.

The concentration of holes on the p-side is much greater than that in the n-side, a very large hole diffusion current tends to flow across the junction from the p to the n material.
Hence an electric field must build up across the junction in such a direction that a hole drift current will tend to flow across the junction from n-side to p-side in order to counterbalance the diffusion current.
After the depletion region is formed and an electric field is a set-up; holes on the p-side and electrons on the n-side move away from the junction.
However, diffusion current components (before the formation of the depletion region) and drift current components (after the formation of the depletion region) are in the same direction.
Electron drift and diffuse currents are in the opposite direction.
Option (d) is not true.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))
100 Ω and 40 mW
Vin = 6V ± 5 % indicates a variation from 5.7 V to 6.3 V
If the load voltage is 5 V, the load current = 5 mA
The source current Is will be:
Is = 2 + 5 = 7 mA
Vi(min) = 5.7 V
R=7.55.7−5=100;Ω
Vi(max)=6.3V
R=7mA6.3−5≅186;Ω
For maximum power dissipation, we take R = 100 Ω
Is=1006.3−5=13;mA
IZ = 13 -5 = 8 mA
Pz = 5 × 8 = 40 mW
∴ The minimum power rating of the device means higher the maximum power dissipation in the circuit.

Concept: 1. PSD of output = |H(f)|2 PSD of input.
2. Fourier transform of Gaussian Pulse is also Gaussian in nature i.e e−at2↔F.T.aπe−π2f2/a
3. Average Power from PSD can be calculated as \(P = \mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^{ + \infty } Sy\left( f \right)df \)
Application: Given 2No=0.5;W/Hz
h(t)=0.5;e−t2/2
The output PSD is related to the input PSD as:
Sy(f) = |H(f)|2 SN(f) ----(1)
With h(t)=0.5e−t2/2, the Fourier transform is calculated as:
e−at2↔F.T.aπe−π2f2/a
The Fourier transform of h(t) will be:
0.5e−t2/2↔F.T.0.50.5πe−0.5π2f2
0.5e−2t2↔F.T.0.52πe−2π2f2
Substituting this in Equation (1), we get:
Sy(f)=0.52πe−2π2f22(0.5)
Sy(f)=0.125(2π)e−4π2f2
Sy(f)=4πe−4π2f2
The integration of PSD gives power, i.e. the area under the PSD gives power.
Red (R), Green (G) and Blue (B) Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) were fabricated using p-n junctions of three different inorganic semiconductors having different band-gaps. The built-in voltages of red, green and blue diodes are VR, VG and VB, respectively. Assume donor and acceptor doping to be the same (NA and ND, respectively) in the p and n sides of all the three diodes.
Which one of the following relationships about the built-in voltages is TRUE?
((a))
VR > VG > VB
((b))
VR < VG < VB
((c))
VR = VG = VB
((d))
VR > VG < VB
Show Answer
Answer: ((b))
VR < VG < VB
The bandgap of LED is related to its wavelength of light as:
Eg=λhc
i.e. Egor;Vbi;∝λ1
Hence, as λ increases, the bandgap, and the build-in potential decreases, i.e.
For λR > λG > λB, the bandgap of the respective diodes will be:
⇒ VR < VG < VB

A four-variable boolean function is realized using 4 × 1 multiplexers as shown in the figure.
The minimized expression for F(U, V, W, X) is
((a))
(UV + U̅V̅) W̅
((b))
(UV + U̅V̅) (W̅X̅ + W̅X)
((c))
(UV̅ + U̅V) W̅
((d))
(UV̅ + U̅V) (WX̅ + WX)
Show Answer
Answer: ((c))
(UV̅ + U̅V) W̅
The output of the first multiplexer will be:
A = U̅V̅0 + U̅V.1 + UV̅.1 + UV.0
A = (U̅V + UV̅) ---(1)
Now, the output of second multiplexer will be:
F = A.(W̅ X̅) + A(W̅X) + 0.(WX̅) + 0.(WX)
F = AW̅ (X̅ + X) = AW̅
Subsitutin A from Equation (1), we get:
F = (U̅V + UV̅) W̅

A 2 × 2 ROM array is built with the help of diodes as shown in the circuit below. Here W0 and W1 are signals that select the word lines and B0 and B1 are signals that are output of the sense amps based on the stored data corresponding to the bit lines during the read operation.
During the read operation, the selected word line goes high and the other word line is in a high impedance state. As per the implementation shown in the circuit diagram above, what are the bits corresponding to Dij (where i = 0 or 1 and j = 0 or 1) stored in the ROM?
The distance (in meters) a wave has to propagate in a medium having a skin depth of 0.1 m so that the amplitude of the wave attenuates by 20 dB, is
((a))
0.12
((b))
0.23
((c))
0.46
((d))
2.3
Show Answer
Answer: ((b))
0.23
Concept:
The amplitude of E.M wave when it propagates through a lossy medium is given by:
E=E0e−αz
α = attention factor which is the inverse of the skin depth (δ), i.e.
α=skin;depth;(δ)1
Application:
α=0.11=10;m−1
E = E0 e -αz
E0E=e−αz
20log(E0E)=20log(e−αz)
For the wave to attenuate by 20 dB, we can write:
−20=20log(e−αz)
-1 = log(e-αz)
e-αz = (10)-1
e-αz = 0.1
αz = 2.302
z=α2.302=102.302
= 0.2302 m

A curve passes through the point (x = 1, y = 0) and satisfies the differential equation dxdy=2yx2+y2+xy. The equation that describes the curve is
((a))
ln(1+x2y2)=x−1
((b))
21ln(1+x2y2)=x−1
((c))
ln(1+xy)=x−1
((d))
21ln(1+xy)=x−1
Show Answer
Answer: ((a))
ln(1+x2y2)=x−1
dxdy=2yx2+y2+xy
dxdy=2yx2+2y+xy
ydxdy−(x1+21)y2=2x2
y2 = t
2yxdy=dxdt
21dxdt−(x1+21)t=2x2
dxdt−2(x1+21)t=x2
The above is linear differential equation of the form
dxdt=+pt=Q
Integrating factor =e−2∫(x1+21)dx
= e-2ln x. e-x
=elnx−2.e−x
=x2e−x
Solution is given by:
x2t;e−x=∫x2x2e−xdx+c
Substitute t = y2
x2y2e−x=−e−x+c
At, x = 1, y = 0
0 = -e-1 + c
c = e-1 = ye
substituting in the solution
y2.x2e−x=−e−x+e−1
(x2y2+1)e−x=e−1
(1+x2y2)=e−xe−1=ex−1
Taking log both sides
ln(1+x2y2)=x−1

Phasor
A phasor is a vector representation of a sinusoidal function that has both a magnitude and a phase angle.
Representations:
Rectangular form: z = x + jy
Polar form: z = r ∠ ϕ
Exponential form: z = z ejϕ
Calculation:
The capacitive impedance is given by:
XC=ωC1
With ω = 5 and C = 1 μF, we can write:
XC=5×10−61Ω
XC = 200 kΩ
The voltage across the capacitor will be:
VC=5∠0×200−j200(−j200)
VC=5∠0×2−j(1+j)
VC=2.52∠−45∘
In terms of π, the above can be written as:
VC=2.52∠−0.25π
Converting the phasor representation back to the time domain representation, we can write:
Vc(t)=2.52sin(5t−0.25t)
