Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

2000

Given:

The ratio of distributed money among P, Q, R, and S in the proportion 5 ∶ 2 ∶ 4 ∶ 3, respectively.

R gets Rs. 1000 more than S.

Calculation:

The ratio of distributed money,

P : Q : R : S = 5 ∶ 2 ∶ 4 ∶ 3

Suppose, P gets Rs. 5x, Q gets Rs. 2x, R gets Rs. 4x, and S gets Rs. 3x.

According to the question, R gets Rs. 1000 more than S.

Therefore, 4x - 3x = 1000

⇒ x = 1000

∴ Q gets = 2 × 1000 = Rs. 2000

∴ The share of Q (in Rs.) is Rs. 2000

Answer: ((b))

2.40

Given:

A trapezium has vertices marked as P, Q, R, and S (in that order anticlockwise), and PQ || RS

PQ = 11 cm, QR = 4 cm, RS = 6 cm and SP = 3 cm

Formula used:

For a right-angle triangle, Perpendicular=(Hypotenuse2Base2)Perpendicular = \sqrt{(Hypotenuse^2 - Base^2)}

Calculation:

Let's draw the diagram according to the question,

Here, the trapezium has vertices marked as P, Q, R, and S (in that order anticlockwise), and PQ || RS

PQ = 11 cm, QR = 4 cm, RS = 6 cm and SP = 3 cm

Draw two perpendiculars from point R and point S that connect to PQ at point B and point A respectively are shown in the above diagram.

Therefore, △BCQ and △ASP are both right-angle triangles. [∠QBR = ∠PAS = 90º]

Here, BR = AS = h [PQ || RS]

PQ = 11 cm and RS = 6 cm

Suppose, PA = x

∴ QB = 11 - (6 + x) = (5 - x)

Therefore, h=QR2QB2=SP2PA2h = \sqrt{QR^2 - QB^2} = \sqrt{SP^2 - PA^2}

⇒ h=42(5x)2=32x2h = \sqrt{4^2 - (5 - x)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 - x^2}

⇒ 42(5x)2=32x2\sqrt{4^2 - (5 - x)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 - x^2}

⇒ 16 - (5 - x)2 = 9 - x2

⇒ 16 - (25 - 10x + x2) = 9 - x2

⇒ 16 - 25 + 10x - x2 = 9 - x2

⇒ 10x = 9 - 10 + 25 = 18

⇒ x = 18/10 = 1.8

Now, h=321.82h = \sqrt{3^2 - 1.8^2}

⇒ h=93.24=5.76h = \sqrt{9 - 3.24} = \sqrt{5.76} = 2.4 cm

∴ The shortest distance between PQ and SR (in cm) is 2.4 cm.

The figure shows a grid formed by a collection of unit squares. The unshaded unit square in the grid represents a hole.

What is the maximum number of squares without a “hole in the interior” that can be formed within the 4 × 4 grid using the unit squares as building blocks?

  1. ((a))

    15

  2. ((b))

    20

  3. ((c))

    21

  4. ((d))

    26

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

20

According to the question, 

Total number of squares = 16

Number of squares without hole,

4 × 4 - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15,

∴ the total number of 1 × 1 squares (without hole) = 15

Now,

the total number of 2 × 2 squares (without hole) = 5

Total number of squares = 15 + 5 = 20

An art gallery engages a security guard to ensure that the items displayed are protected. The diagram below represents the plan of the gallery where the boundary walls are opaque. The location the security guard posted is identified such that all the inner space (shaded region in the plan) of the gallery is within the line of sight of the security guard.

If the security guard does not move around the posted location and has a 360° view, which one of the following correctly represents the set of ALL possible locations among the locations P, Q, R and S, where the security guard can be posted to watch over the entire inner space of the gallery.

  1. ((a))

    P and Q

  2. ((b))

    Q

  3. ((c))

    Q and S

  4. ((d))

If a person will stand on ‘P’ then he/she can’t see the visibility side of R and vice versa.

But if the security guard will be stand at Q and S then he will be whole 360°

Security guard posting at Q and S can watch entire space of gallery.

  1. ((a))

    Using chemicals to kill mosquitoes is better than using genetically modified mosquitoes because genetic engineering is dangerous

  2. ((b))

    Using genetically modified mosquitoes is better than using chemicals to kill mosquitoes because they do not have any side effects

  3. ((c))

    Both using genetically modified mosquitoes and chemicals have undesired consequences and can be dangerous

  4. ((d))

    Using chemicals to kill mosquitoes may have undesired consequences but it is not clear if using genetically modified mosquitoes has any negative consequence

Show Answer

Using chemicals to kill mosquitoes may have undesired consequences but it is not clear if using genetically modified mosquitoes has any negative consequence

The correct answer is 'Using chemicals to kill mosquitoes may have undesired consequences but it is not clear if using genetically modified mosquitoes has any negative consequence'.

Key Points

  • Let's refer to the passage:
  • 'In Florida, authorities have used genetically modified mosquitoes to control the overall mosquito population.'
  • 'It remains to be seen if this novel approach has unforeseen consequences.'
  • From the above-mentioned statements, it is evident that the correct logical inference is that 'using chemicals to kill mosquitoes may have undesired consequences but it is not clear if using genetically modified mosquitoes has any negative consequence'.
  • Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

Additional Information 

  • The word 'novel', here, is being used to denote something that is interestingly new or unusual.
  • For eg.- He hit on a novel idea to solve his financial problems.

Consider the following inequalities.

(i) 2x − 1 > 7

(ii) 2x − 9 < 1

Which one of the following expressions below satisfies the above two inequalities?

  1. ((a))

    x ≤ -4

  2. ((b))

    -4 < x ≤ 4

  3. ((c))

    4 < x < 5

  4. ((d))

    x ≥ 5

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

4 < x < 5

Given:

2x − 1 > 7

2x − 9 < 1

Calculation:

The given inequalities are,

2x − 1 > 7

⇒ 2x > 7 + 1

⇒ 2x > 8

⇒ x > 4     .....(1)

2x − 9 < 1

⇒ 2x < 1 + 9

⇒ 2x < 10

⇒ x < 5     .....(2)

From (1) and (2), we can see that x is greater than 4 but less than 5 means 4 < x < 5

∴ The two inequalities express 4 < x < 5. Hence, option 3 is correct.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

8

Given:

The quadrilateral has four points P(0, 1), Q(0, -3), R(-2, -1), and S(2, -1)

Formula used:

The distance between two points using coordinates = (x2x1)2+(y2y1)2\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} where (x1, x2) and (y1, y2) are coordinates of two points.

Area of a square = (side)2

Calculation:

Four points P(0, 1), Q(0, -3), R(-2, -1), and S(2, -1) represent the vertices of a quadrilateral. Let's draw the diagram,

Length of PS = (20)2+(11)2=8\sqrt{(2 - 0)^2 + (-1 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{8}

Length of SQ = (02)2+(3+1)2=8\sqrt{(0 - 2)^2 + (-3 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{8}

Lenght of QR = (02)2+(3+1)2=8\sqrt{(0 - 2)^2 + (-3 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{8}

Length of PR = (20)2+(11)2=8\sqrt{(-2 - 0)^2 + (-1 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{8}

Length of PQ = (00)2+(31)2=16=4\sqrt{(0 - 0)^2 + (-3 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{16} = 4

Length of RS = (2+2)2+(1+1)2=16=4\sqrt{(2 + 2)^2 + (-1 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{16} = 4

Here, PS = SQ = QR = PR and PQ = RS

Hence, PRQS is a square.

Area of the square = (8)2(\sqrt{8})^2 = 8

∴​ The area enclosed by the quadrilateral is 8.

In a class of five students P, Q, R, S and T, only one student is known to have copied in the exam. The disciplinary committee has investigated the situation and recorded the statements from the students as given below.

Statement of P: R has copied in the exam.

Statement of Q: S has copied in the exam.

Statement of R: P did not copy in the exam.

Statement of S: Only one of us is telling the truth.

Statement of T: R is telling the truth.

The investigating team had authentic information that S never lies. Based on the information given above, the person who has copied in the exam is

  1. ((a))

    R

  2. ((b))

    P

  3. ((c))

    Q

  4. ((d))

    T

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

P

Statement of S: Only one of us is telling the truth.

As, given in the question 'S' is telling the truth. 

Let, us suppose that 

T is telling the truth, 

that means R is telling the truth. 

and according to R, we know that P did not copy in the exam.

But if T is telling the truth then that means, R is also telling the truth and then that means 2 of them are telling the truth, which is not possible. Hence T is not telling the truth and hence R is not truthful as well. 

" P did not copy in the exam"  is hence false.

Which means "P did copy in the exam".

Concept:

Extrinsic p-type semiconductors are formed when a trivalent impurity is added to a pure semiconductor. Examples of trivalent impurity are Boron, Gallium, and Indium.

Also, the law of mass action is used to determine the minority carriers in a doped semiconductor.

According to law:

n0.p0 = ni2

n0 = concentration of electrons

p0 = concentration of holes

For a steady-state carrier injection, the excess carrier concentration dies out exponentially for a distance ‘x’ due to recombination.

Mathematically this is defined as:

δp(x) = δp(0) e-x/Lp

δn(x) = δn(0) e-x/Ln

Ln and Lp are the diffusion length of electrons and holes respectively.

Calculation:

Given, P = 1017 cm-3 = P0

n0=ni2P0=10201017=103 cm3\rm n_{0}=\frac{n_{i}^{2}}{P_{0}}=\frac{10^{20}}{10^{17}}=10^{3} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}

Ln = 2 μm

n'PO = 1014 cm-3

Excess electron concentration at any distance x is

δnp(x) = n'P0 e-x/Ln

= 1014 e-2/2

= 1014 e-1

= 3.67 × 1013 cm-3

Consider the CMOS circuit shown in the figure (substrates are connected to their respective sources). The gate width (W) to gate length (L) ratios (WL)\left(\frac{W}{L}\right) of the transistors are as shown. Both the transistors have the same gate oxide capacitance per unit area. For the pMOSFET, the threshold voltage is -1 V and the mobility of holes is 40 cm2V.s\rm \frac{cm^2}{V.s}. For the nMOSFET, the threshold voltage is 1 V and the mobility of electrons is 300 cm2V.s\rm \frac{cm^2}{V.s} The steady state output voltage V0 is _________.

  2. ((b))

    more than 2 V

  3. ((c))

    less than 2 V

  4. ((d))

    equal to 2 V

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

less than 2 V

Concept:

MOSFET is in saturation region:

VGS > Vth

VDS > VGS – Vth

The current equation for a MOSFET in the saturation region is given by:

\({{I}{D}}=\frac{1}{2}{{\mu }{n}}{{C}{OX}}\frac{W}{L}{{\left( {{V}{GS}}-{{V}_{th}} \right)}^{2}}\)

\({{I}{D}}=\frac{K_n}{2}{{\left( {{V}{GS}}-{{V}_{th}} \right)}^{2}}\)

Calculation:

Both MOSFETs are in saturation because drain is shorted to Gate.

IDSN = ISDP

\(\frac{\mu_{n} C_{o x}}{2} ×\left(\frac{W}{L}\right){N}\left(V{G S N}-V_{T N}\right)^{2}=\frac{\mu_{p} C_{o x}}{2}\left(\frac{W}{L}\right){P}\left(V{S G P}-\left|V_{T P}\right|\right)^{2}\)

300 × 1 (V0 - 1)2 = 40 × 5(4 - V0 - 1)2

3(V02+12V0)=2(9+V026V0)3(V_0^2 + 1 - 2V_0) = 2(9 + V_0^2 - 6 V_0)

⇒ V02+6V015=0V_0^2 + 6V_0 - 15 = 0

V0=6±36+4×152=6±962V_0 = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36 + 4 \times 15}}{2} = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{96}}{2}

V0 = 1.898 V, -7.89 V

V0 cannot be negative because V0 should lie between 0 and 4 V.

V0 = 1.898 V (Less than 2V)

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

A0 = 0, A1 = 1, A2 = 1, A3 = 0

The correct answer is option 3.

Concept:

The multiplexer abbreviated "MUX" or "MPX," is a combinational logic circuit that uses a control signal to switch one of the numerous input lines to a single common output line.

S1, S0 are the select lines, I1, I2, I3, and I4 are the input lines and produce the output Y.

Digital Circuits - Multiplexers

Y= (S1' S0' )I0+( S1'S0 )I1+(S1 S0' )I2 +( S1S0 )I3

 

Explanation:

Option 1: A0 = 0, A1 = 0, A2 = 1, A3 = 1

These input lines A0 = 1, A1 = 0, A2 = 1, A3 = 0, C and D are the select lines and produce the output 

Y= (C' D' ) 0+( C' D ) 0+(C D' ) 1+( CD) 1

Y=0+0+CD'+CD

Y=C(D'+D)

Y=C

Option 2: A0 = 1, A1 = 0, A2 = 1, A3 = 0

These input lines A0 = 0, A1 = 0, A2 = 1, A3 = 1, C and D are the select lines and produce the output 

Y= (C'D') 1+( C' D ) 0+(C D' ) 1+( CD) 0

Y= C'D'+0+CD'+0

Y=D'(C'+C)

Y=D'

Option 3: A0 = 0, A1 = 1, A2 = 1, A3 = 0

These input lines A0 = 0, A1 = 1, A2 = 1, A3 = 0, C and D are the select lines and produce the output 

Y= (C'D') 0+( C' D) 1+(CD') 1+( CD) 0

Y= 0 + C'D + CD' + 0

Y=C'D + CD'

Option 4: A0 = 1, A1 = 1, A2 = 0, A3 = 0

These input lines A0 = 1, A1 = 1, A2 = 0, A3 = 0, C and D are the select lines and produce the output 

Y= (C'D') 1 + ( C' D ) 1 + (C D' ) 0 + ( CD) 0

Y= C'D '+ C'D + 0 + 0

Y=C'D '+ C'D

Y=C'(D' + D)

Y = C'

Hence the correct answer is A0 = 0, A1 = 1, A2 = 1, A3 = 0.

    V1 = 4 V, V2​ = 5 V

  4. ((d))

    V1 = 4 V, V2​ = -5 V

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

V1 = 4 V, V2​ = 5 V

Vc1 = min(VG - VT, VD)

= min(4, 5)

Vc1 = 4V

Z is the closed-loop RHP poles

Analysis:

For K = 1,

For K = 2, the plot will be

  4. ((d))

    G(s)=s+1s6+1\rm G(s)=\frac{s+1}{s^6+1}

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

G(s)=1(s+1)5\rm G(s)=\frac{1}{(s+1)^5}

Concept:

The number of branches of the root locus diagram is:

N = P if P ≥ Z

= Z, if P ≤ Z

Application:

Here 5 Root Locus branches are diverging from the same point, this can possible only when if we have 5 poles in the system at the same point because the Root Locus branch departs from the open-loop pole and

The Number of Root Locus branches = Number of open-loop poles or Number of zero (Whichever is greater).

Here, there are 5 multiple Real poles, matching with option (A). 

So, correct option is 1(s+1)5\frac{1}{(s + 1)^5}

Additional Information

  1. 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.
  2. The root locus diagram is symmetrical with respect to the real axis.
  3. The number of branches of the root locus diagram are:

N = P if P ≥ Z

= Z, if P ≤ Z

4. Number of asymptotes in a root locus diagram = |P – Z| 5. 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)

6. Angle of asymptotes: 

l = 0, 1, 2, … |P – Z| – 1

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

The frequency response H(f) of a linear time-invariant system has magnitude as shown in the figure.

Statement I: The system is necessarily a pure delay system for inputs which are bandlimited to −α ≤ f ≤ α.

    Statement I is correct, Statement II is correct

  2. ((b))

  3. ((c))

    Statement I is incorrect, Statement II is correct

  4. ((d))

    Statement I is incorrect, Statement II is incorrect

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Statement I is correct, Statement II is correct

Analysis(1):

Let x(t) signal is delayed by time Td. If y(t) is the response of delayed system-

y(t) = x(t-Td) ..............(1)

Let take the Fourier transform of equation (1)

Y(f) = X(f).e2jπfTde^{-2j\pi fT_d}

H(f) = Y(f)/X(f)=e2jπfTdY(f)/X(f) = e^{-2j\pi fT_d}

| H(f) | = 1 and

H(f)=2jπfTd\angle H(f) ={-2j\pi fT_d}

It shows that system has magnitude 1 and system is bandlimited to −α ≤ f ≤ α, hence statement 1 is correct.

Analysis(2):

For a wide-sense stationary input process:

Power spectral density (PSD)o = SX(f)

Output power spectral density (PSD)i = 𝑆Y(f) 

\(\begin{aligned} (\mathrm{PSD}){o} &=(\mathrm{PSD}){i} \cdot|H(f)|^{2} \ \end{aligned}\)

SY(f)=SX(f);αfα \begin{aligned} S_{Y}(f) &=S_{X}(f) \quad ; \quad-\alpha \leq f \leq \alpha \ \end{aligned}

Phase response of the system is not given, hence statement 2 is correct.

  3. ((c))

    2 sin (t + π/2)

  4. ((d))

    0

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

2 sin (t + π/2)

Concept:

Conduction current density:

  • Conduction current comes from the movement of charges such as electrons present in conductors or and semiconductors.
  • The electrons present in the conduction band of conductors or semiconductors are free and they respond to the applied electric field.
  • The current passing through due to such free election per unit cross-sectional area per unit time is commonly referred to as conduction current density.

 

Jc=IcA=σE(Ampm2){J_c} = \frac{{{I_c}}}{A} = \sigma E\left( {\frac{{Amp}}{{{m^2}}}} \right)

Displacement current density:

  • Displacement current comes from the change in the electric field caused by the displacement of the center of positive charge and center of negative charge of a dielectric or insulating medium.
  • Dielectric does not contain free electrons for conduction, rather they contain immobile charges and are displaced slightly from their equilibrium position in the presence of the electric field.
  • Consequently, they produce a change in the electric field present in the dielectric medium and hence displacement current.
  • The rate of change of such electric field with respect to time is commonly referred to as displacement current density.

 

JD=JDA=μtA=t(ψA)=Dt{J_D} = \frac{{{J_D}}}{A} = \frac{{\frac{{\partial \mu }}{{\partial t}}}}{A} = \frac{\partial }{{\partial t}}\left( {\frac{\psi }{A}} \right) = \frac{{\partial D}}{{\partial t}}

JD=Dt=ωD=2πfεoεrE{J_D} = \frac{{\partial D}}{{\partial t}} = \omega D = 2\pi f{\varepsilon _o}{\varepsilon _r}E

Analysis:

In a series connection, the current through each element remains the same, Hence ic = id

Concept:

Relationship between de-emphasis filter and pre-emphasis filter is-

Hpe(ω)=1Hde(ω)\left|H_{p e}(ω)\right|=\frac{1}{\left|H_{d e}(ω)\right|}

Where,

Hpe(ω) - Frequency response of pre-emphasis filter

Hde(ω) - Frequency response of de-emphasis filter

Given:

Frequency response of pre-emphasis filter-

Hpe(ω)=1+jωω0\rm H_{pe}(ω)=1+\frac{jω}{ω_0}

ω0 = 104 rad/sec

and

de-emphasis filter

Solution:

Hpe(ω)=1Hde(ω)\left|H_{p e}(\omega)\right|=\frac{1}{\left|H_{d e}(\omega)\right|}

Hpe(ω)2=1Hde(ω)2\left|H_{p e}(\omega)\right|^{2}=\frac{1}{\left|H_{d e}(\omega)\right|^{2}}

So,

1+(ωω0)2=1+(ωRC)21+\left(\frac{\omega}{\omega_{0}}\right)^{2}=1+(\omega R C)^{2}

1ω0=RC\frac{1}{\omega_{0}}=R C

RC = 10-4

Only Option (1) satisfies the above condition.

Hence option (1) is correct.

  4. ((d))

    The 3 dB frequency is 10003\frac{1000}{3} rad/s

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

The circuit is a low pass filter.

The given op-amp is inverting type, hence the gain is given as:

VoVin=20001000+1jω×106\frac{V_o}{V_{in}}=-\frac{2000}{1000+\frac{1}{jω\times10^{-6}}}

V0Vin=21+1jω1000\frac{V_0}{V_{in}}=\frac{-2}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{jω}{1000}}}

At ω = ∞

Gain=V0Vin=2Gain=\frac{V_0}{V_{in}}=-2

At ω = 0

Gain=V0Vin=0Gain=\frac{V_0}{V_{in}}=0

Hence the given op-amp is High Pass Filter.

Now, the  3 dB Cut-off frequency is given as:

ωc=1R1C1=1103×106ω_c = \frac{1}{R_1 C_1} = \frac{1}{10^3 \times 10^{-6} }

ωc = 1000 rad/sec

Concept:

Boolean function:

The variables used in Boolean Algebra only have one of two possible values, a logic “0” and a logic “1” but an expression can have an infinite number of variables all labeled individually to represent inputs to the expression.

For example, variables A, B, C, etc, give us a logical expression of A + B = C, but each variable can ONLY be a 0 or a 1.

Explanation:

The given expression is = x + yz the equivalent expression is,

Option 1:  x + z + xy

= x + z + xy

= x(1+y)+ z  (∴ 1 + x = x + 1 = 1)

= x + z it is not equivalent x + yz.

Option 2:  (x + y)(x + z)

= (x + y)(x + z)

=x + xz + yx + yz

=x(1+ z+ y) + yz  (∴1 + x = x + 1 = 1)

= x + yz it is equivalent x + yz.

Option 3:  x + xy + yz

= x + xy + yz

= x(1 + y) +yz

= x + yz  it is equivalent x + yz.

Option 4:  x + xz + xy

= x + xz + xy

= x(1+z+y) (∴1 + x = x + 1 = 1)

= x it is not equivalent x + yz.

Hence the correct answer is option 2 and option 3.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

For a logical high input under steady state, the nMOSFET is in the linear regime of operation.

Correct answer is option (3)

Explanation:

Option (1):

  • Noise is an undesirable signal that is superimposed upon the normal operating signal.
  • Noise margin the maximum tolerable noise voltage that can be added so that the circuit that does not cause an undesirable change in the circuit 's output.

       

NML = VIL - VOL 

NMH = VOH - VIH

If the size of both transistors ( pMOS and nMOS) are equal

Under the condition:

VTN = VTP

Kn = KP 

Vin VDD2\frac{V_{DD}}{2}

in such case : NML = NMH 

If the size of both transistor are unequal, then KNKPK_{N}\neq K_{P}

When ; KpKN>1,than VIL,VIH\uparrow \frac{K_{p}}{K_{N}}>1, \text{than } V_{IL}\uparrow, V_{IH}\downarrow

NMH\downarrow and NMLN_{ML}\uparrow

Now,

When ; KpKN<1,than VIL,VIH\uparrow \frac{K_{p}}{K_{N}}<1, \text{than } V_{IL}\downarrow, V_{IH}\uparrow

NMHandNMLN_{MH}\uparrow and \quad N_{ML}\downarrow

Hence, option (1) is incorrect.

Option (2):

Dynamic power consumption during switching is non zero due to capacitive loading of next stage.

Let H(X) denote the entropy of a discrete random variable X taking K possible distinct real values. Which of the following statements is/are necessarily true?

  1. ((a))

    H(X) ≤ log2 K bits

  2. ((b))

    H(X) ≤ H(2X)

  3. ((c))

    H(X) ≤ H(X2)

  4. ((d))

    H(X) ≤ H(2X)

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

H(X) ≤ log2 K bits

Given:

X is a discrete random variable , K possible distinct real values.

Analysis:

If 'K' symbols having equal probability:

Maximum Entropy  H(X)max = log2 (K).

If 'K' symbols having different probabilities:

H(X) < log2 (K)

So, H(X) ≤ log2 (K) Option (1) is correct.

As per given option (2):

H(X) ≤ H(2X)

\(\begin{aligned} &\begin{array}{|c|ccc|} \hline X \in\left{x_{i}\right} & -1 & 0 & 1 \ \hline P_{X}\left(x_{i}\right) & \frac{1}{4} & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{4} \ \hline \end{array}\ \end{aligned}\)

\(H(X)=\sum_{i} P_{X}\left(x_{i}\right) \log {2} \frac{1}{P{X}\left(x_{i}\right)}\)

H(f)=14log24+12log22+14log24H(f) = \frac{1}{4} \log _{2} 4+\frac{1}{2} \log _{2} 2+\frac{1}{4} \log _{2} 4

H(X)=1.5 bits  symbol H(X)=1.5 \frac{\text { bits }}{\text { symbol }}

Now , Y = 2X

XYP(Y)
-1-21/4
001/2
121/4

 

Xϵ{yi}-202
PY(yi)1/41/21/4

 

\(H(2 X)=H(Y)=\sum_{i} P_{Y}\left(y_{i}\right) \log {2} \frac{1}{P{Y}\left(y_{i}\right)}=1.5 \frac{\text { bits }}{\text { symbol }}\)

For Y = 2X, distant X values results in distinct ‘Y’ values so that H(X) = H(Y). So, option (2) is correct.

As per given option (3):

H(X) ≤ H(X2)

Now , Y = X2

\(H\left(X^{2}\right)=H(Y)=\sum_{i} P_{Y}\left(y_{i}\right) \log {2} \frac{1}{P{Y}\left(y_{i}\right)}\)

H(f)=12log22+12log22=1 bit  symbol H(f)=\frac{1}{2} \log _{2} 2+\frac{1}{2} \log _{2} 2=1 \frac{\text { bit }}{\text { symbol }}

Whereas,

H(X)=1.5 bits  symbol \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{X})=1.5 \frac{\text { bits }}{\text { symbol }}

Hence option (3) is incorrect.

As per given option (4) :

H(X) ≤ H(2X)

Now , Y = 2X

Here distinct ‘X’ values results in distinct ‘Y’ values. So that,

H(X) = H(Y) i.e. H(X) = H(2X) so, Option (4) is correct.

NOTE: Option 1, 2, 4 are correct.

Calculation:

f(x) = 8 loge x - x2 + 3

f ' (x) = 8/x - 2 x 

For Stationary points  f ' (x) = 0

8x2x=0  \dfrac {8}{x} - 2x = 0 \ \

x = ± 2

Concept:

To find the system of equation for Ax = B

We define augmented matrix [A: B] 

For

Unique solution →  Rank [A] = Rank [A:B] = number of unknown

Infinite many solution →   Rank [A] = Rank [A:B]  <  number of unknown

No solution →  Rank [A]  ≠  Rank [A : B]

Analysis:

Define augmented matrix

[A : B] = [12311233],\begin{bmatrix}1&-\sqrt2&3&1\\ -1&\sqrt2&-3&3\end{bmatrix}_,

R2 = R2 + R1 

[A:B] = [12310004],\begin{bmatrix}1&-\sqrt2&3&1\\ 0&0&0&4\end{bmatrix}_,

Rank [A:B] = 2

Rank [A] = 1 

Rank [A:B] ≠ Rank [A]

Therefore No solution for x

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

R1 = 2 kΩ, R2 = 3 kΩ

Correct answer is option (1): R1 = 2K , R2 = 3k

Solution:

At ω= 0 rad/sec

  • Capacitor will be open circuited ; XC=1ωC=X_{C}= \frac{1}{ω C}= ∞

Impedance, Z(j0)=R1+R2Z(j0)= R_{1}+ R_{2}

From the graph ; 

Z(j0)=5KΩ R1+R2=5KΩZ(j0)= 5K Ω\ R_{1}+R_{2}=5K Ω                                   

At ω= ∞ rad/sec:

Capacitor will be short circuited : Xc=1ωC=0X_{c}= \frac{1}{\omega C}= 0 

Impedance, 

Z(j)=R1=2KΩ  R1+R2=5KΩ R2=3KΩZ(j\infty)= R_{1}= 2 KΩ\ \ R_{1}+R{2}= 5 KΩ\ \rightarrow R_{2}= 3KΩ

  1. ((a))

    a capacitor of 1 F

  2. ((b))

    an inductor of 1 H

  3. ((c))

    a capacitor of √3 F

  4. ((d))

    an inductor of √3 H

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

an inductor of 1 H

Correct answer is option (2): an inductor of 1H.

Explanation:

As per the given graph, the current through the element I(t) is lagging, it implies that the element is inductor.

I(t)=V(t)Zo  I(t)=sin(t)ZoI(t)= \frac{V(t)}{Z_{o}}\ \ I(t)= \frac{sin(t)}{Z_{o}}          

The maximum value of the current   I(t)max=12I(t)_{max} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

Zo=V(t)I(t) =112 =2|Z_{o}|=\frac{|V(t)|}{|I(t)|}\ =\frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\ =\sqrt{2}

As per the circuit given,

Zo = R + jωL

Zo=R2+(jωL)2|Z_{o}|=\sqrt{R^{2}+(j ω L)^{2}}

2=1+ω2L2\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{1+ ω^{2}L^{2}}

Given, ω = 1 rad/sec

2=1+L2 \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{1+L^{2}}

2 = 1 + L2

L = 1 H

    20 mA

  3. ((c))

    15 mA

  4. ((d))

    5 mA

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

15 mA

Correct answer is option (c)

**Concept:**​

Mode of operations of nMOSFET

  • If, VDS > (VGS - VT)   nMOSFET is operating in Saturation mode.
  • If, VDS < (VGS - VT)   nMOSFET is operating in Linear mode.
  • Here, ​ VDS  is Drain to source voltage , VGS  is Gate to Source voltage and VT is the required Threshold voltage.

​Expressions of Drain to Source current in different mode of operation.

​Linear mode:

 ID=μnCoxWL(VGSVT)VDS12VDS2I_{D} =μ_{n}C_{ox}\frac{W}{L}{(V_{GS}-V_{T})V_{DS}-\frac{1}{2}V_{DS}^{2}}

Saturation mode:

 ID=μnCoxW2L(VGSVT)2I_{D} =μ_{n}C_{ox}\frac{W}{2L}(V_{GS}-V_{T})^{2}

 

Calculation:

Given,

L= 10 μm ,

W= 100 μm , 

μnCox= 1 mA/V2,

VT= 1V,

VDS = 1V

VGS= [2 - sin(2t)]

VGS(max) = 3 v

VGS(min)= 1 V

here, VDS > (VGS - VT) condition will not be satisfied

Hence, nMOSFET is in Linear region

IDmax=μnCoxWL(VGSVT)VDS12VDS2I_{D_{max}} =\mu_{n}C_{ox}\frac{W}{L}{(V_{GS}-V_{T})V_{DS}-\frac{1}{2}V_{DS}^{2}}

=1mA/V2×10[(31)112×1)]=1 mA/V^{2}\times 10[(3-1)1- \frac{1}{2}\times1)]

= 10[1.5] mA = 15 mA

Hence, the maximum value of the drain-to-source current is 15 mA

  3. ((c))

    13 V

  4. ((d))

    14 V

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

13 V

Correct answer is option (3)

Solution:

If, VO = 15V

D1 is ON

D2 is OFF

VUT=15×RR+2R=5VV_{UT}= \frac{15 \times R}{R + 2R}=5V

Capacitor will charge up to VUT 

VCmax=VUT=5VV_{Cmax}= V_{UT}= 5 V

If, VO = -12V

D1 is OFF

D2 is ON

VUT=12×2RR+2R=8VV_{UT}= \frac{-12 \times 2R}{R + 2R}=-8V

Capacitor will discharge up to VL

VCmin=VLT=8VV_{Cmin}= V_{LT}= -8V

 Difference between the maximum and the minimum values of the capacitor voltage (Vc):

 

VCmaxVCmin=5(8)=13VV_{Cmax}-V_{Cmin}= 5-(-8)=13V

                                                                    

Hence, answer to the question is 13 V.

Answer: ((a))

R = 3 kΩ, C = 1 μF

Solution:

Correct answer is option(1)

At ω=0

Gain of the amplifier is maximum,

20log10(|AVmax|) = 12 dB

|AVmax| = 3.98

|AVmax| ≈ 4                                 .

Capacitor will be open circuited

Gain=(1+R1k) (1+R1k)=4 R=3K  Gain=(1+\frac{R}{1k})\ (1+\frac{R}{1k})=4\ R=3K \                                                    

As per the Bode plot corner frequency will be at,

log10c) = 3

ωc = 1000 rad/sec

ωc = 1/R3C

C = 1/(R3 × ωc

= 1/106

= 1 μF                                                

Hence, R = 3K and C= 1 μF.

It is a MSQ question.

Correct answers would be option(2) and option (4)

Concept:

To check whether the given expression converges or not we will apply Ration test and P test.

Ratio Test:

Let an is the given expression.

Let L=limnan+1anL=\lim_{n \mapsto \infty }|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}|

if L<1, then the series Converges

if L>1, then the series Diverges

if L<1, then the test is Inconclusive.

P series test:

 n=11np=11p+12p+13p+.....\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n^{p}}= \frac{1}{1^{p}}+\frac{1}{2^{p}}+\frac{1}{3^{p}}+.....  where p> 0 by definition

If p > 1 , then the series converges. If 0 < p <= 1 , then the series diverges.

Calculation:

Option (1): Substitute c= 1, d= -1

Perform  test:

n=1ndcn =n=1n11n =n=11n\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{n^{d}}{c^{n}}\ =\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{n^{-1}}{1^{n}}\ =\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n}   

As, p=1 , hence series will diverge.

Hence, option (1) is incorrect.

Option (2):

Substitute c=2, d= 1.

Perform Ration test

limnan+1an=limnn+12n+1×2nn=12 \lim_{n \mapsto \infty }|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}|=\lim_{n \mapsto \infty}\frac{n+1}{2^{n+1}}\times \frac{2^{n}}{n}=\frac{1}{2}

​​​​As, L < 1 , the series converges.

Hence, option (2) is correct 

Option (3): 

​Substitute c= 0.5, d= -10

Perform Ratio test;

The outputs of four systems (S1, S2, S3, and S4) corresponding to the input signal sin(t), for all time t, are shown in the figure.

Based on the given information, which of the four systems is/are definitely NOT LTI (linear and time-invariant)?

  1. ((a))

    S1

  2. ((b))

    S2

  3. ((c))

    S3

  4. ((d))

    S4

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

S1

Concept:

For an LTI system, the following results hold true:

  • The same form of the sinusoidal signal is produced at the output.
  • The only change will be in magnitude and phase.
  • ∴ If a system produces frequencies in the output other than those which are in input, then that system can’t be called as the ‘Linear shift-invariant’ system.

 

Analysis:

sintS1sin(t)=sint\sin t \rightarrow \boxed{S_1} \rightarrow \sin (-t) = - \sin t

sintS2sin(t+1)\sin t \rightarrow \boxed{S_2} \rightarrow \sin (t + 1)

sintS3sin(2t)\sin t \rightarrow \boxed{S_3} \rightarrow \sin (2t )

sintS4sin2(t)=1cos2t2\sin t \rightarrow \boxed{S_4} \rightarrow \sin^2 (t ) = \frac{1 - \cos 2t}{2}

Since, LTI system does not change the frequency of sinusoidal input,

So S3 and S4 are definitely not LTI as input and output sinusoidal frequencies are different.

Select the CORRECT statement(s) regarding semiconductor devices.

  1. ((a))

    Electrons and holes are of equal density in an intrinsic semiconductor at equilibrium.

  2. ((b))

    Collector region is generally more heavily doped than Base region in a BJT.

  3. ((c))

    Total current is spatially constant in a two terminal electronic device in dark under steady state condition.

  4. ((d))

    Mobility of electrons always increases with temperature in Silicon beyond 300 K.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Electrons and holes are of equal density in an intrinsic semiconductor at equilibrium.

Remark: It is a MSQ question.

Correct answers are option (1) and option (3)

Explanation:

Option(1):

  • An intrinsic semiconductor is an undoped semiconductor.
  • For an intrinsic semiconductor, the concentration of electrons in the conduction band is equal to the concentration of holes in the valence band at thermal equilibrium.
  • Hence, option (1) is correct.

Option(2):

  • ​Collector region is generally lightly doped than base region in BJT
  • Hence, option (2) is incorrect.

Option(3):

  • The total current due to injected minority carrier ( diffusion current ) and majority carrier ( drift current ) is spatially constant in two terminal electronic device, however they individually will be spatially different under dark and steady state condition.

  • Hence, Option(3) is correct.
  • ​Option(4):

​Mobility of electrons always decreases with temperature in Silicon beyond 300 K.

Hence, option(4) is incorrect​

A state transition diagram with states A, B, and C, and transition probabilities p1, p2, … , p7 is shown in the figure (e.g., p1 denotes the probability of transition from state A to B). For this state diagram, select the statement(s) which is/are universally true.

  1. ((a))

    p+ p3 = p5 + p6

  2. ((b))

    p1 + p3 = p4 + p6

  3. ((c))

    p1 + p4 + p7 = 1

  4. ((d))

    p2 + p5 + p7​ = 1

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

p+ p3 = p5 + p6

The correct answer is option 1 and option 3.

Concept:

The given data, 

A state transition diagram with states A, B, and C, and transition probabilities p1, p2, …, p7

From state A outgoing transitions are,

P7 A, P1 B, P4 C are equal to 1.

P1 + P4 + P7 =1

From state B outgoing transitions are,

P2 A, P3 B are equal to 1.

P2+P3=1

From state C outgoing transitions are,

P6A, P5C are equal to 1.

P5+P6=1

Option 1: p2 + p3 = p5 + p6

True, P2+P3=P5+P6

From State B and State, C are the same number of transitions and those are similar.

Option 2: p1 + p3 = p4 + p6

False, P1+P3=P4+P6

We can not equalize those probabilities and are not similar or not equal.

Option 3: p1 + p4 + p7 = 1

True, p1 + p4 + p7 = 1 

From state A we can find the sum of all probabilities is equal to 1.

Option 4: p2 + p5 + p7​ = 1

False, p2 + p5 + p7​ = 1

We can not equalize those probabilities and are not similar or not equal.

Hence the correct answer is option 1 and option 3.

Consider a Boolean gate (D) where the output Y is related to the inputs A and B as, Y = A + B̅, where + denotes logical OR operation. The Boolean inputs ‘0’ and ‘1’ are also available separately. Using instances of only D gates and inputs ‘0’ and ‘1’, __________ (select the correct option(s)).

  1. ((a))

    NAND logic can be implemented

  2. ((b))

    OR logic cannot be implemented

  3. ((c))

    NOR logic can be implemented

  4. ((d))

    AND logic cannot be implemented

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

NAND logic can be implemented

The correct answer is option 1 and option 3.

Concept:

The given function is,

y=A+B' = (A'B)'

f(A,B)= A+B'

As 0 and 1 are available.

f(0,B)= A+B'= B'= NOT Gate.

f(A,B')= A+(B')' = A+B= OR Gate.

f(o,f(A,B'))=0 +(A+B)'= NOR Gate.

f(A',B)=A'+B'= (A.B)' =NAND Gate.

f(0,f(A',B)) = 0+((A.B)')'= A.B= AND Gate.

With the combination of OR and NOT, NOR gate can be implemented. Since NOR gate is universal logic gate, so all the functions can be implemented. 

Hence, we can implement NOT Gate we can also implement OR, AND, NOR and NAND Gate.

Hence the correct answer is option 1 and option 3.

Two linear time-invariant systems with transfer functions

G1(s)=10s2+s+1\rm G_1(s)=\frac{10}{s^2+s+1} and G2(s)=10s2+s10+10\rm G_2(s)=\frac{10}{s^2+s\sqrt{10}+10}

have unit step responses y1(t) and y2(t), respectively. Which of the following statements is/are true?

  1. ((a))

    y1(t) and y2(t) have the same percentage peak overshoot.

  2. ((b))

    y1(t) and y2(t) have the same steady-state value.

  3. ((c))

    y1(t) and y2(t) have the same damped frequency of oscillation.

  4. ((d))

    y1(t) and y2(t) have the same 2% settling time.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

y1(t) and y2(t) have the same percentage peak overshoot.

Calculation:

Given 

G1(s)=10s2+s+1  \rm G_1(s)=\frac{10}{s^2+s+1} \ \   &  G2(s)=10s2+s10+10  \rm G_2(s)=\frac{10}{s^2+s√{10}+10} \ \

Comparing standard second-order equation 

S2 + 2 ζ wn S + Wn2 = 0

Wn1 = 1,  2 ζ1 Wn1  = 1

ζ1 = 0.5

Wn2 = √ 10

2 ζ2 Wn2 = √ 10

ζ2 = 0.5

Percentage peak overshoot:

% Mp = eπζ1ζ2  \dfrac {e^{-\pi ζ }}{\sqrt {1-ζ ^2}}\ \

Percentage peak overshoot is depend only on ζ 

ζ1 = ζ2 

Therefore % Mp is the same as for both y1(t) and y2(t)         (option 1 is correct)

Steady-state value: 

  lims0  sY(s)  lim _{s→ 0}~~sY(s)\ \

<br>

Y1(s)=10s(s2+s+1)  \rm Y_1(s)=\frac{10}{s(s^2+s+1)} \ \  and  Y2(s)=10s(s2+s10+10)  \rm Y_2(s)=\frac{10}{s(s^2+s√{10}+10)} \ \

Steady-state value of y1(t) →  10

Steady-state value of y1(t) →  1 

Therefore the steady-state values of both systems are different          (option 2 is incorrect)

 

Damped frequency of oscillation (Wd): 

  Wd=Wn(1ζ2    W_d=W_n\sqrt {(1-ζ ^2}\ \ \ \

Wd1=Wn11ζ12    W_{d1}=W_{n1} \sqrt {1-ζ_1 ^2}\ \ \ \

Wd1=1114  =32=0.86    W_{d1}=1 \sqrt {1-\dfrac {1}{4}}\ \ =\dfrac {\sqrt 3}{2}= 0.86\ \ \ \

Wd2=10114  =10×32=2.73    W_{d2}=\sqrt{10} \sqrt {1-\dfrac {1}{4}}\ \ =\sqrt {10} \times \dfrac {\sqrt 3}{2}= 2.73\ \ \ \

Wd1 ≠ Wd2        (option 2 is incorrect)

Settling time (ts):

For 2% tolerance band 

ts=4ζWn  t_s=\dfrac{4}{ζ W_n}\ \

By putting values of ζ and Wn

ts1=412×1=8  sec    t_{s1}= \dfrac {4}{\dfrac {1}{2}\times 1}=8 \ \ sec\ \ \ \

ts2=412×10=2.53  sec   t_{s2}= \dfrac {4}{\dfrac {1}{2}\times \sqrt {10}}=2.53\ \ sec\ \ \space

ts1 ≠ ts2     (option 4 is incorrect)

  3. ((c))

    8 × 1014 Hz

  4. ((d))

    1 × 1013 Hz

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

6 × 1015 Hz

Concept:

Cut off frequency: Every waveguide has a cut off frequency below which there is no propagation.

For parallel plate cut off frequency is given as:

fc=mc2a  Hz  f_c= \dfrac {m c}{2 a} \ \ Hz \space \space

Calculation:

The mode that propagates at the lowest cut off frequency is TM1 mode

fc  TM1=c2a=3×1082×104=1.5×1014  Hz f_{{c}\ \ _{TM_1}}=\dfrac {c}{2a}=\dfrac {3× {10}^8}{2× {10}^{-4}}=1.5× {10}^{14}\ \ Hz \space

For propagation,

f > fc 

Therefore the frequency is greater than 1.5 × 1014 Hz can propagate in the waveguide

In the given option 6× 1015 Hz and 8 × 1014 Hz can propagate in waveguide.
