25 persons are in a room. 15 of them play hockey, 17 of them play football and 10 of them play both hockey and football. Then the number of persons playing neither hockey nor football is:

  1. ((a))

    2

  2. ((b))

    17

  3. ((c))

    13

  4. ((d))

    3

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

3

Given:

Total number of people in the room = 25

Number of people who play Hockey = 15

Number of people who play Football = 17

Number of people who play both = 10

Calculation:

Number of people who play only Hockey = 15 - 10 = 5

Number of people who play only Football = 17 - 10 = 7

⇒ 

⇒ The total number of person who play either of the two = 5 + 10 + 7 = 22

⇒  The number of persons playing neither hockey nor football = 25 - 22 = 3

∴ The required result will be 3.

The number of persons playing neither hockey nor football = ξ - n(A ⋃ B) - n(A) - n(B)

The number of persons playing neither hockey nor football = 25 - 10 - 7 - 5

The number of persons playing neither hockey nor football = 3

1) H + G > I + S

2) |G - S| = 1

Meaning G and S will be next to each other in order.

So the option (1) is eliminated.

Because S and G are not next to each other, G is not the oldest, and S is not the youngest.

Assume ages are 6, 5, 4, and 2.

From option (2):

S = 6, G = 5, H = 4, I = 2

G + H > I + S

Option (2) satisfy all the conditions.

Now;

Options (3) and (4) are both impossible since in both those cases you would have I + S > H + G.

Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.

    18 days

  3. ((c))

    16 days

  4. ((d))

    15 days

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

15 days

GIVEN:

Time taken by 5 skilled workers to build the wall = 20 days

Time taken by 8  semi-skilled workers to build the wall = 25 days

Time taken by 10 unskilled workers to build the wall = 30 days

Calculation:

Time taken by 2 skilled workers to build the wall = 20 × 5/2 days = 50 days

Time taken by 6 semi-skilled workers to build the wall = 25 × 8/6 days = 200/6 days

Time taken by 5 unskilled workers to build the wall = 30 × 10/5 days = 60 days 

Time taken by the three working together = 1150+6200+160 {{1} \over {1\over50}+{6\over200}+{1\over60}} = 1/(1/15)

Time taken by the three working together = 15 days

  4. ((d))

    People in military establishments like to use chemical agents in war.

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

People in military establishments like to use chemical agents in war.

The correct answer is 'People in military establishments like to use chemical agents in war.'

Key Points

  • Let's explore the options:
  • In statement 1, let's take a look at the keyword 'civil strife' which means A war between factions or regions of the same country, which isn't correct in the context of passage, therefore option 1 is incorrect.
  • In statement 2, it is mentioned that the chemical agents are useful in modern warfare but the passage doesn't have any facts that can justify the usefulness of the chemical agents, and hence incorrect.
  • In statement 3, it is mentioned that chemical agents are undesirable, but in the passage it is mentioned that 'Chemical agents that do their work silently appear to be suited to such warfare; and regretfully, there exist people in military establishments who think that chemical agents are useful tools for their cause.' which conveys that they are in fact desirable, thus the statement 3 is incorrect.
  • In statement 4, it is mentioned that 'People in military establishments like to use chemical agents in war.' and in the passage, it is also mentioned that 'Chemical agents that do their work silently appear to be suited to such warfare; and regretfully, there exist people in military establishments who think that chemical agents are useful tools for their cause', therefore statement 4 is correct.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

1623

By observation of summation, it can be seen that numbers are not in decimal.

The value of the answer is actually the remainder obtained by actually finding the sum of original numbers.

Let us proceed step by step.

First, take the unit digit position,

  1. 7 + 6 = 13 ⇒ Rem (13/8) = 5

  2. 3 + 7 + 1 (Carry from 13) = 11 ⇒ Rem (11/8) = 3

  3. 1 + 2 + 1 (Carry from 11) = 4

Now, write in reverse order;

(137)8 + (276)8 = (435)8

Similarly;

  1. 1 + 2 = 3

  2. 3 + 7 = 10 ⇒ Rem (10/8) = 2

  3. 7 + 6 + 1 (Carry from 10) = 14 ⇒ Rem (14/8) = 6

Leaves carry 1.

Write it reverse order;

(731)8 + (672)8 = (1623)8

Hence, "1623" is the correct answer.

Concept:

V(t) = Vsin(ωt + ϕ )   ...(1)

Where 

Vm = Peak value

ω = Angular frequency

ϕ = Phase angle

As we know

ω = 2 π f  rad/sec

A time period (T) is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform. It is the reciprocal of frequency (f). 

Time period

 T=1fT = \frac{1}{f}

Explanation:

Given

x(t) = 8 sin (0.8;πt+π4)\left( {0.8;π t + \frac{π }{4}} \right)

Compare the x(t) with equation 1.

ω = 0.8 π 

2πf = 0.8π 

f = 0.4

Time period

 T=1fT = \frac{1}{f}

T = 1 / 0.4

T = 2.5 sec

    Linear and causal

  2. ((b))

    Linear but not causal

  3. ((c))

    Causal but not linear

  4. ((d))

    Neither linear nor causal

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

Linear but not causal

Input-output relationship,

\(y\left( t \right) = \mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^{5t} x\left( \tau \right)d\tau ,\ t > 0\)

Causality:

y(t) depends on x(5t) , t > 0

System is non-causal

For example, t = 3

y(3) depends on x(15) (future value of input)

Linearity:

o/p is integration of  i/p which is a linear function, so system is linear

    1 A

  3. ((c))

    1.25 A

  4. ((d))

    5 A

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

1 A

For t < 0, the switch was closed for a long time so equivalent circuit is

Voltage across capacitor at t = 0

VC(o)=54×1=4V{V_C}\left( o \right) = \frac{5}{{4 \times 1}} = 4V

Now switch is opened, so equivalent circuit is

For capacitor at t = 0+

VC(0+) = VC(0) = 4V

Current in 4 Ω resistor at t = 0+,

i1=VC(0+)4=1A{i_1} = \frac{{{V_C}\left( {{0^ + }} \right)}}{4} = 1A

So, current in capacitor at t = 0+,

iC(0+) = i1 = 1A

Concept:

Thevenin's Theorem:

Any two terminal bilateral linear DC circuits can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source and a series resistor.

To find Voc: Calculate the open-circuit voltage across load terminals. This open-circuit voltage is called Thevenin’s voltage (Vth).

To find Isc: Short the load terminals and then calculate the current flowing through it.

 This current is called Norton current (or) short circuit current (isc).

To find Rth: Since there are Independent sources in the circuit, we can’t find Rth directly. We will calculate Rth using Voc and Isc and it is given by

\({{\rm{R}}{{\rm{th}}}} = \frac{{{{\rm{V}}{{\rm{oc}}}}}}{{{{\rm{i}}_{{\rm{sc}}}}}}\)  

Application:

Given: Load line equation = V + i = 100

To obtain open-circuit voltage (Vth) put i = 0 in load line equation 

⇒ Vth = 100 V

To obtain short-circuit current (isc) put V = 0 in load line equation

⇒ isc = 100 A

So, Rth=Vthisc=100100=1Ω{R_{th}} = \frac{{{V_{th}}}}{{{i_{sc}}}} = \frac{{100}}{{100}} = 1{\rm{\Omega }}

Equivalent circuit is

Current (i) = 100/2 = 50 A

 

Applying loop-law in the given circuit.

  • V + i × R = 0
  • V + I × 1 = 0

⇒ V = i

Given Load line equation is V + i = 100

Putting V = i 

then i + i = 100 

⇒ i = 50 A

    Total power consumed by Z1 and Z2

  3. ((c))

    Power consumed by Z1

  4. ((d))

    Power consumed by Z2

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

Power consumed by Z2

Concept:

Wattmeter reads the power and it is given by

P = VPC ICC cos ϕ

VPC is the voltage across pressure coil

ICC is current flows through the current coil

ϕ is the phase angle between VPC and ICC

Application:

The circuit representation of the given question is as shown below.

  • The potential coil is connected across Z2.
  • It reads the voltage across Z2 only.
  • So, Wattmeter reads only power consumed by Z2.

An ammeter has a current range of 0-5 A, and its internal resistance is 0.2 Ω. In order to change the range to 0-25 A, we need to add a resistance of

  1. ((a))

    0.8 Ω in series with the meter

  2. ((b))

    1.0 Ω in series with the meter

  3. ((c))

    0.04 Ω in parallel with the meter

  4. ((d))

    0.05 Ω in parallel with the meter

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

0.05 Ω in parallel with the meter

Concept:

  • For range extension of voltage measurement in moving coil instrument, a resistance is connected in series with coil resistance.
  • Because for a constant value of current, resistance connected in series connection has a higher voltage drop compared to parallel or shunt connection.
  • For range extension of current measurement in moving coil instrument, a resistance is connected in parallel or shunt with coil resistance.
  • Because for a constant value of voltage, resistance connected in parallel connection has a higher value of current flow compared to series connection.

 

Formula:

Rse = Rm(M – 1)

Rm=VmIm{R_m} = \frac{{{V_m}}}{{{I_m}}}

Where kVold = old base value of voltage,

kVnew = New base value of voltage,

MVAold = Old base value of machine rating,

MVAnew = New base value of machine rating,

Calculation:

For Generator 1:

G1:25 kV, 100 MVA, X = 9%

Reactance of generator (Xold) = 0.09 p.u.

Old base value of voltage (kVold) = 25 kV

Old base value of MVA (MVAold) = 100 MVA

New base value of voltage (kVnew) = 25 kV

New base value of MVA (MVAnew) = 200 MVA

For transformer 1:

T1: 20 kV/220 kV, 90 MVA, X = 12%

Reactance of Transformer 1 (Xold) = 0.12 p.u.

Old base value of voltage (kVold) = 25 kV

Old base value of MVA (MVAold) = 90 MVA

New base value of voltage (kVnew) = 25 kV

New base value of MVA (MVAnew) = 200 MVA

XT1new=0.12×(2525)2×(20090){X_{T1_{new}}} = 0.12 \times {\left( {\frac{{25}}{{25}}} \right)^2} \times \left( {\frac{{200}}{{90}}} \right) = .27

A single-phase transformer has a turns ratio of 1 : 2 and is connected to a purely resistive load as shown in the figure. The magnetizing current as well as the load current drawn is 1 A. if the core losses and leakage reactance’s are neglected, the primary current should be

    2 A

  3. ((c))

    2.24 A

  4. ((d))

     4 A

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

2.24 A

Given that

Turn's ratio a = N1 / N2 = 1 / 2

The load is purely resistive, so the load power factor is unity. And the phase angle is equal to zero.

Load current on the secondary side is I2 = 1 A

Load current referred to the primary side I1' = I2 / a = 1 / (1 / 2) = 2 A

Core losses and leakage reactance are neglected.

Let's consider Iμ as magnetizing current and primary current as I1. 

Then the phasor diagram for the given condition can be given by,

From the above phasor diagram by the use of parallelogram law, we can write,

\({{\rm{I}}_1} = \sqrt {{{\left( {{{{\rm{I'}}}1}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{{\rm{I}}{\rm{μ }}}} \right)}^2} + 2{\rm{I}}{{\rm{'}}1}{{\rm{I}}{\rm{μ }}}\cos θ } \)

Where θ is the angle between Iμ and I1' and from the phasor diagram it equals to θ = 900.

⇒ I1=(2)2+(1)2+2×2×1cos900{{\rm{I}}_1} = \sqrt {{{\left( 2 \right)}^2} + {{\left( 1 \right)}^2} + 2 \times 2 \times 1\cos {{90}^0}}

⇒ I1=4+1=5=2.24;A{{\bf{I}}_1} = \sqrt {4 + 1} = \sqrt 5 = 2.24; A

Answer: ((c))

From the above system of HVDC link, we can observe that

The power is transferring from system A to system B.

We know that power always flows from a higher voltage side to the lower voltage side.

From that, we can conclude that system A voltage VAB is greater than system B voltage VCD (VAB > VCD).

And the output of the rectifier circuit VAB is positive, VAB > 0.

And the input of the inverter circuit VCD is also positive, VCD > 0.

Answer: ((c))

Concept:

Breaking current: It expresses the highest number of short-circuit currents that the breakers are capable of breaking under specified conditions of transient recovery voltage and power frequency voltage. It is expressed in kA (RMS) at contact separation. The breaking capacities are divided into two types.

  • Symmetrical breaking capacity of a circuit breaker
  • Asymmetrical breaking capacity of a circuit breaker

 

Rated symmetrical breaking current IB=S3VL{I_B} = \frac{S}{{\sqrt 3 {V_L}}}

Making current of a circuit breaker is the peak value of the maximum current loop during sub transient condition including the DC component when the breaker closes.

Symmetrical making current = 2.55 × symmetrical breaking current

Calculation:

Rated current = 1200 A

MVA rating = 2000 MVA

Rated symmetrical breaking current =2000×1063×33×103=35;kA= \frac{{2000 \times {{10}^6}}}{{\sqrt 3 \times 33 \times {{10}^3}}} = 35;kA

Concept:

Zero sequence networks for different 3-phase loads are shown below.

The zero sequence equivalent circuits of 3-phase transformers can be drawn by using the following general circuit.

Z is the zero sequence impedance of the windings of the transformer. These are two series and two shunt switches. One series and one shunt switches are for both sides separately.

The series switch of a particular side is closed if it is star grounded and the shunt switch is closed if that side is delta connected, otherwise they are left open.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Unstable but controllable

The given system is

Ẋ = AX + Bu

Where,

\(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} { - 1}&2\ 0&2 \end{array}} \right]:and:B = \left[ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 0\ 1 \end{array}} \right]\)

We determine stability using characteristic equation (i.e. poles or eigenvalues of the system).

|sI - A| = 0

\(\left| {\left[ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} s&0\ 0&s \end{array}} \right] - \left[ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} { - 1}&2\ 0&2 \end{array}} \right]} \right| = 0\)

\(\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {s + 1}&{ - 2}\ 0&{s - 2} \end{array}} \right| = 0\)

(s + 1)(s - 2) = 0

s = -1 and s = 2

i.e. the system has one pole in right half of the s-plane.

Hence, the system is unstable.

Now, the controllability matrix is given by:

CM = [B AB]

Where

\(\left[ {AB} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} { - 1}&2\ 0&2 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 0\ 1 \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2\ 2 \end{array}} \right]\)

So,

\({C_M} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0&2\ 1&2 \end{array}} \right]\)

|CM| = -2 ≠ 0

Hence, the system is Controllable.

DC to DC converters (DC Choppers):

  • A dc chopper converts dc input voltage to a controllable dc output voltage.
  • For lower power circuits, thyristors are replaced by power transistors.
  • Choppers find wide applications in dc drives, subway cars, trolley trucks, battery-driven vehicles, etc.

 

The load voltage or output voltage is controlled by duty cycle of the circuit. The output voltage can be varied by varying the duty cycle.

 

Important Points

  • In both buck-boost converter and Cuk converter, the polarity of the output voltage is the opposite of input voltage.
  • In buck-boost converter, energy transfer is associated with the inductor, whereas, in Cuk converter, energy transfer is associated with the capacitor.
  • In the Buck-boost converter, the input current is discontinuous, whereas, in the Cuk converter, the input current is continuous.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Both the power transistor and the diode are ideal.

When voltage V is positive, both transistor and diode will be ON and making voltage across them zero and current I will be flowing.

⇒ at V = 0, I = Imaximum (∞)

When voltage V is negative, then both will be OFF and offering infinite resistance and hence voltage is maximum, and the current is zero.

⇒ at V = Vmax (∞), I = 0

Now, the V-I characteristics are as shown below.

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

a maximum

Concept:

The point of maxima or minima is obtained by solving for the derivative of the function and equating to zero.

Then, to check if the point is a point of maxima ‘or’ minima we check the second derivative at that point.

This is explained with the help of the following graph:

If d2fdx2<0\frac{{{d^2}f}}{{d{x^2}}} < 0; the point will be a point of maxima

If d2fdx2>0\frac{{{d^2}f}}{{d{x^2}}} > 0, the point will be a point of minima.

Calculation:

Method I:

f(t)=sintt=tt33!+t55!t=1t23!+t45!f\left( t \right) = \frac{{\sin t}}{t} = \frac{{t - \frac{{{t^3}}}{{3!}} + \frac{{{t^5}}}{{5!}} \ldots }}{t} = 1 - \frac{{{t^2}}}{{3!}} + \frac{{{t^4}}}{{5!}}  

f(t)=2t6+4t35!6t57!f'\left( t \right) = \frac{{ - 2t}}{6} + \frac{{4{t^3}}}{{5!}} - \frac{{6{t^5}}}{{7!}}

f(t)=13+12t25!30t47!f''\left( t \right) = \frac{{ - 1}}{3} + \frac{{12{t^2}}}{{5!}} - \frac{{30{t^4}}}{{7!}}

Critical point ⇒ f’(t) = 0

⇒ t = 0 is critical pt.

f(0)=13<0\therefore f''\left( 0 \right) = \frac{{ - 1}}{3} < 0

So, t = 0 is point of maxima.

∴ Maximum value f(0)=limt0(sintt)f\left( 0 \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to 0} \left( {\frac{{\sin t}}{t}} \right) = 1

Method II:

X(s)=s+6s2+6s+8X\left( s \right) = \frac{{s + 6}}{{{s^2} + 6s + 8}}

By partial fraction,

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

Multiple non-trivial solutions exists

Given, system of equation

x1 + 2x2 + x3 + 4x4 = 2

3x1 + 6x2 + 3x3 + 12x4 = 6

Which is the non-homogeneous system of equations .

The augmented matrix is

Applying R2 → R2 – 3R1

Here, Rank of [A : B] = 1 & Rank of A = 1

i.e. Rank of [A : B] = Rank of A

So, the given system of equation is consistent. But the rank of A is less than the number of unknowns. So, the system of non-homogeneous equation will have infinitely many solutions. SO multiple, non-trivial solution exist.

Parseval's theorem

  • It relates the energy of a signal x(t) and its spectral component X(ω)
  • Parseval’s Theorem can be written as:

,x2(t)dt=12π,X(jω)2dω\underset{-\infty }{\overset{\infty }{\mathop \int }}|,{{x}^{2}}\left( t \right)|dt=\frac{1}{2\pi }\underset{-\infty }{\overset{\infty }{\mathop \int }},{{\left| X\left( jω \right) \right|}^{2}}dω

Calculation:

From Concept,

\(\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {\left| {X\left( \omega \right)} \right|^2}d\omega = \mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {x^2}\left( t \right)\ dt\)

\(\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {\left| {X\left( \omega \right)} \right|^2}d\omega = 2\pi \times 2\)

Given the finite length input x[n] and the corresponding finite length output y[n] of an LTI system as shown below, the impulse response h[n] of the system is

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

If impulse response is h[n] then y[n] = h[n] * x[n]

Length of convolution ( y[n] ) is 0 to 4, x[n] is of length 0 to 1, so length of h[n] will be 0 to 3.

Let

Convolution

By comparing,

a = 1

  • a + b = 0 ⇒ b = a = 1
  • b + c = 0 ⇒ c = b = 1
  • c + d = 0 ⇒ d = c = 1

So, h[n] = {1, 1, 1, 1}

Concept:

Bridge balance condition is Z1 Z4 = Z2 Z3

Calculation:

Given Z1 = R + jωL, Z2 = R2, Z3 = R3

Z4 = R4 // (-j/ωC4)

Z4=(R4×jωC4R4+ωC4){Z_4} = \left( {\frac{{{R_4} \times \frac{{ - j}}{{ω {C_4}}}}}{{{R_4} + ω {C_4}}}} \right)

Z4=(jR4ωR4C4j){Z_4} = \left( {\frac{{ - j{R_4}}}{{ω {R_4}{C_4} - j}}} \right)

Applying the bridge balancing condition

Z1 Z4 = Z2 Z3

(R+jωL)(jR4ωR4C4j)=R2R3\left( {R + jω L} \right)\left( {\frac{{ - j{R_4}}}{{ω {R_4}{C_4} - j}}} \right) = {R_2}{R_3}

⇒ -j R R4 + ω RL = ω RRRC4 - j RR3

Comparing the real terms on both sides we get

⇒ L = R2 R3 C4

Comparing the imaginary terms on both sides we get

R = R2 R3 / R4

The characteristic equation of a closed-loop system is

Which of the following statements true?

    Its roots are always real

  2. ((b))

    It cannot have a breakaway point in the range -1 < Re[s] < 0

  3. ((c))

    Two of its roots tend to infinity along the asymptotes Re[s] = -1

  4. ((d))

    It may have complex roots in the right half-plane

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Two of its roots tend to infinity along the asymptotes Re[s] = -1

The characteristic equation of the given closed-loop system is:

s(s + 1)(s + 3) + K(s + 2) = 0 ; K > 0

1+K(s+2)s(s+1)(s+3)=01 + \frac{{K\left( {s + 2} \right)}}{{s\left( {s + 1} \right)\left( {s + 3} \right)}} = 0

So, the open-loop transfer function is given as:

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

Therefore, we have the open-loop poles and zeros as:

Poles: s = 0, s = -1, s = -3

Zero: s = -2

So, we obtain the pole-zero plot for the system as:

For the pole-zero location, we obtain the following characteristic of root locus

Number of asymptotes: P – Z = 3 – 1 = 2

Angles of asymptotes: ϕa=(2q+1)180PZ;;PZ=2,;q=0,;1{\phi _a} = \frac{{\left( {2q + 1} \right)180^\circ }}{{P - Z}};;P - Z = 2,;q = 0,;1 

ϕa = 90° and 270°

Centroid: σA=Sum;of;Re[P]Sum;of;Re[Z]PZ{\sigma _A} = \frac{{Sum;of;Re\left[ P \right] - Sum;of;Re\left[ Z \right]}}{{P - Z}}  

=(013)(2)31=32 = \frac{{\left( {0 - 1 - 3} \right) - \left( { - 2} \right)}}{{3 - 1}} = - \frac{3}{2}

= -1

Thus, from the above analysis, we sketch the root locus as:

For the root locus, we conclude the following points

  1. The breakaway point lies in the range,

-1 < Re[s] < 0

  1. Two of its roots tend to infinite along the asymptotes Re[s] = -1.
  2. Root locus lies only in the left half of the s-plane.

A 50 Hz synchronous generator is initially connected to a long lossless transmission line which is open circuited at the receiving end. With the field voltage held constant, the generator is disconnected from the transmission line. Which of the following may be said about the steady state terminal voltage and field current of the generator?

  1. ((a))

    The magnitude of terminal voltage decreases, and the field current does not change.

  2. ((b))

    The magnitude of terminal voltage increases, and the field current does not change.

  3. ((c))

    The magnitude of terminal voltage increases, and the field current increases.

  4. ((d))

    The magnitude of terminal voltage does not change and the field current decreases.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

The magnitude of terminal voltage decreases, and the field current does not change.

A long transmission line under no-load conditions behaves as the capacitive load. The effect of armature current is purely magnetization. When the alternator is disconnected, there is no magnetizing effect. So the terminal voltage decreases with the same field current.

Explanation:

When the generator is connected to an open-circuit transmission line, the line draws a charging current, therefore Vt > Eg.

But, when the generator is disconnected from the line, no charging current is delivered by the generator, i.e.,

Ic = 0 ⇒ Vt = Eg.

So, the terminal voltage decreases.

  4. ((d))

    both machines act as motors

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

the dc machine acts as a motor and the induction machine acts a generator

Concept:

Synchronous Speed:

The synchronous speed of a three-phase induction motor is given by:

Ns=120fP{N_s} = \frac{{120f}}{P}

Where Ns = Synchronous speed in rpm

f = Supply frequency

P = Number of poles

Slip:

The slip in an induction motor is the difference between the main flux speed and their rotor speed.

Fractional slip (s) is given by,

s=NsNrNss = \frac{{{N_s} - {N_r}}}{{{N_s}}}

Where Nr is rotor speed.

Note: If slip (s) is negative then the induction machine acts as a generator.

Calculation:

Synchronize speed of the induction machine is

Ns=120 x 504=1500 rpm{N_s} = \frac{{120{\rm{\ x}}\ 50}}{4} = 1500{\rm{\ rpm}}

Nr = 1600 rpm

s = (1500 - 1600) / 1500

s = - 1/15 = - 0.066

Since slip is negative, the induction machine acts as an induction generator and dc machine as a dc motor.

∴ Divergence of any position vector = 3

 

  • Divergence operates on a vector field but results in a scalar.
  • Curl operates on a vector field and results in a vector field.
  • Gradient operates on a scalar but results in a vector field.
  • Divergence of curl, Curl of the gradient is always zero.
  • Thus, the gradient of curl gives the result of curl (which is a vector field) to the gradient to operate upon, which is a mathematically invalid expression.

Answer: ((d))

g(t)=f(t232)g\left( t \right) = f\left( {\frac{t}{2} - \frac{3}{2}} \right)

Concept:

Time-shifting property: When a signal is shifted in time domain it is said to be delayed or advanced based on whether the signal is shifted to the right or left. 

For example:

Time scaling property: A signal is scaled in the time domain with the scaling factor 'a'. 

If a > 1, then the signal is contracted by a factor of 'a' along the time axis. 

if a < 1, then the signal is expanded by a factor of 'a' along the time axis. 

For example:

Analysis:

We can observe that if we scale f(t) by a factor of ½ and then shift, we will get g(t).

First scale f(t) by a factor of ½ ,

g1(t) = f (t/2)

Shift g1(t) by 3

g(t)=g1(t3)=f(t32)g\left( t \right) = g_1\left( {t - 3} \right) = f\left( {\frac{{t - 3}}{2}} \right)

g(t)=f(t232)g\left( t \right) = f\left( {\frac{t}{2} - \frac{3}{2}} \right)

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

e3ss(1e2s)\frac{{{e^{ - 3s}}}}{s}\left( {1 - {e^{ - 2s}}} \right)

Concept:

The Laplace transform F(s) of a function f(t) is defined by:

\(L\text{(}f\left( t \right)\text{ }!!}!!\text{ }=F\left( s \right)=\underset{0}{\overset{\infty }{\mathop \int }},{{e}^{-st}}f\left( t \right)dt\)

From the time-shifting property of Laplace transform:

\(L\left{ f\left( t-a \right) \right}={{e}^{-as}}F\left( s \right)\)

Application:

g(t) can be expressed as

g(t) = u (t – 3) – u (t – 5)

By shifting property we can write Laplace transform of g(t)

G(s)=1se3s1se5s =e3ss(1e2s)\begin{array}{l} G\left( s \right) = \frac{1}{s}{e^{ - 3s}} - \frac{1}{s}{e^{ - 5s}}\ = \frac{{{e^{ - 3s}}}}{s}\left( {1 - {e^{ - 2s}}} \right) \end{array}

In a LC circuit, the current flows in the circuit is given by,

i(t)=VsCLsinω0ti\left( t \right) = {V_s}\sqrt {\frac{C}{L}} \sin {\omega _0}t

Where, V is supply voltage in V

C is capacitance in F

L is inductance in H

ω0 is resonant frequency in rad/sec

ω0=1LC{\omega _0} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {LC} }}

Calculation:

From the given circuit, VS = 100 V

C = 1 μF

L = 20 mH

VsCL=100×1×10620×103=0.707{V_s}\sqrt {\frac{C}{L}} = 100 \times \sqrt {\frac{{1 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{20 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}} = 0.707

ω0=120×103×1×106=7.07×103{\omega _0} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {20 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} \times 1 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}} }} = 7.07 \times {10^3}

i(t)=0.707sin(7.07×103t)i\left( t \right) = 0.707\sin \left( {7.07 \times {{10}^3}t} \right)

Answer: ((a))

52 μsec

Concept:

In a LC circuit, the current flows in the circuit is given by,

i(t)=VsCLsinω0ti\left( t \right) = {V_s}\sqrt {\frac{C}{L}} \sin {\omega _0}t

Where, VS­ is supply voltage in V

C is capacitance in F

L is inductance in H

ω0 is resonant frequency in rad/sec

ω0=1LC{\omega _0} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {LC} }}

Calculation:

From the given circuit, VS = 100 V

C = 10 μF

L = 1 mH

VsCL=100×10×1061×103=10{V_s}\sqrt {\frac{C}{L}} = 100 \times \sqrt {\frac{{10 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{1 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}} = 10

ω0=11×103×10×106=1×104{\omega _0} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} \times 10 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}} }} =1 \times {10^4}

i(t)=10sin(10×103t)i\left( t \right) = 10\sin \left( {10 \times {{10}^3}t} \right)

The device will be turned off only when the current through it is zero. The commutation circuit has to supply 5A current in opposite direction to the thyristor current

i.e, i(t) = 5 A

So, 10 sin 104t = 5 A

⇒ t = 52.3 μs
