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

  1. ((a))

    100

  2. ((b))

    110

  3. ((c))

    90

  4. ((d))

    95

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

100

Explanation:

Let; Total number of voters = X

Number of voters P was supposed to get = 0.4X

Number of voters Q was supposed to get =  0.6X

According to the given information;

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

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

Q - P = 2

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

⇒ 50/100 (0.6X) - 70/100 (0.4X) = 2

⇒ 30X - 28X = 200

⇒ 2X = 200

⇒ X = 100

Hence, total number of voters are 100.

  2. ((b))

    ascertained

  3. ((c))

    exacerbated

  4. ((d))

    analysed

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

exacerbated

The correct answer is 'exacerbated'.

Key Points

  • Let's explore options;
  • identified: establish or indicate who or what (someone or something) is.
  • Example: Even the smallest baby can identify its mother by her voice.
  • ascertained: find (something) out for certain; make sure of.
  • Example: The police have so far been unable to ascertain the cause of the explosion.

  4. ((d))

    41

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

48

Let the total number of toffees in bowl be x

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

∴ Number of toffees with R = x/3 - 4

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

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

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

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

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

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

⇒ x = 48

∴ There were 48 toffees in the bowl.

  4. ((d))

    phase shift of the closed loop transfer function at very high frequencies (ω → ∞)

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Peak overshoot

Given Block Diagram:

Given block diagram can be reduced by,

Further, It can be reduced by,

Hence,

Y(S)R(S)=1S2+S(K+1)+1\frac{Y(S)}{R(S)}=\frac{1}{S^2+S(K+1)+1} .... (1)

The standard equation of 2nd order system can be written as,

TF = ωn2S2+2ζωnS+ωn2\frac{ω_n^2}{S^2+2ζω_nS+ω_n^2} .... (2)

From equation (1) & (2),

ωn = ±1

2ζωn = (K + 1)

or, 2ζ = (K + 1)

or, ζ=K+12\zeta=\frac{K+1}{2}

Peak over shoot (Mp) = e(ζπ1ζ2){\large e}^{(\frac{-\zeta π}{\sqrt{1-\zeta^2}})}

We have,

Now,

Y(S)U(S)=1S(S+1+K)\frac{Y(S)}{U(S)}=\frac{1}{S(S+1+K)}

Here, ϕ=π2tan1ωK+1ϕ = -\frac{π}{2}-tan^{-1}\frac{ω}{K+1}

At: ω → 0 ⇒ ϕ = -(π/2)

At: ω → ∞ ⇒ ϕ = -(π)

Hence, K will only affct the Peak overshoot.

Concept:

The inductive reactance for an inductor operating in a frequency 'f' is given by:

XL = jωL

L = inductance

Similarly, the capacitive reactance of a capacitor operating in a frequency 'f' is given by:

Xc=1jωCX_c=\frac{1}{j\omega C}

C = Capacitance

Also, for a sinusoidal signal, the RMS value for the given maximum amplitude is given by:

RMS value = 0.707 × Maximum value

Calculation:

Given supply voltage ω = 1 rad/sec

The inductive reactance of the inductor 1 H will be:

XL = jωL = j Ω

And the capacitive reactance of the capacitor 1 F will be:

XC = 1/jωC = -j Ω

Now, the given circuit is redrawn as:

The series combination of inductive and capacitive reactance will be:

j + (-j) = 0 Ω

The circuit diagram is redrawn as:

i(t) = v(t)/1 = sin t

From the above current equation:

Maximum value of current i(t) = 1

For sinusoidal waveform, RMS value = 0.707 × maximum value

RMS value of current i(t) = 0.707 A = 1/√2 A

The Fourier series expansion \(f\left( t \right) = {a_0} + \mathop \sum \limits_{n = 1}^\infty {a_n}\cos n\omega t + {b_n}\sin n\omega t\) of the periodic single shown below will contain the following nonzero terms

  1. ((a))

    a0 and bn, n = 1, 3, 5,……∞

  2. ((b))

    a0 and an,  n = 1,2,3,….. ∞

  3. ((c))

    a0 an and bn,n = 1, 2, 3,….. ∞

  4. ((d))

    a0 and an n = 1, 3, 5,……∞

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

a0 and an n = 1, 3, 5,……∞

\(f\left( t \right) = {a_0} + \mathop \sum \limits_{n = 1}^\infty ({a_n}\cos n\omega t + {b_n}\sin n\omega t)\)

The given function f(t) is an even function, therefore bn = 0

f(t) is nonzero average value function, so it will have a nonzero value of a0

\({a_0} = \frac{1}{{\frac{T}{2}}}\mathop \smallint \limits_0^{\frac{T}{2}} f\left( t \right)\ dt\) (average value of f(t)

an is zero for all even values of n and nonzero for odd n

\({a_n} = \frac{2}{T}\mathop \smallint \limits_0^T f\left( t \right)\) cos(nωt) d(ωt)

So Fourier expansion of f(t) will have a0 and an, n=1, 3, 5, …..∞.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

DC shunt motor with field weakening control

A  4 point starter is used to start and control the speed of a Dc shunt motor with field weakening control.

High speed protection of DC shunt motor is not provided by 4 point starter.

Four-point starter:

The four-point starter works as a current controlling device in the deficiency of back EMF while it starts running off the DC motor. A four-point starter also works as a protecting device. The main difference between a 4-point starter compared to a 3-point starter is, the holding coil is detached from the shunt-field circuit.

The 4-point starter uses four terminals for speeding up the motor. These four terminals namely, armature terminal (A), field terminal (F), and the line terminal (L).

  • NVC (No Volt Coil): The connection of a four-point starter can be done in parallel with the field coil
  • The line terminal (L) is connected to a positive supply
  • The armature terminal (A) is connected to the winding of an armature
  • The field terminal (F) is connected to the field winding
  • It is provided as not to affect the current flowing through 'Hold on' coil even when the field current changes.

 

Important:

A resistor is used in the starter for a DC shunt motor

  • When the connected dc motor is to be started, the lever is turned gradually to the right.
  • When the lever touches point 1, the field winding gets directly connected across the supply, and the armature winding gets connected with resistances R1 to R5 in series.
  • During starting, full resistance is added in series with the armature winding.
  • Then, as the lever is moved further, the resistance is gradually is cut out from the armature circuit.
  • Now, as the lever reaches to position 6, all the resistance is cut out from the armature circuit and armature gets directly connected across the supply.

  4. ((d))

    collinear

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

orthogonal

We say that 2 vectors are orthogonal if they are perpendicular to each other. i.e. the dot product of the two vectors is zero.

We have two vectors [1, 1, 1] and [1, a,a2]

Dot product = [1, 1, 1] ∙ [1, a,a2] = (1 + a + a2)

We have,

a = (12+j32)\left(-\frac{1}{2}+j\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)

(1 + a + a2) = 1 + (12+j32)\left(-\frac{1}{2}+j\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) + (12+j32)2\left(-\frac{1}{2}+j\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2

or, (1 + a + a2) = 1+ (12+j32)\left(-\frac{1}{2}+j\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) + (1434j32)(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{4}-j\frac{\sqrt3}{2})

or, (1 + a + a2) = 0

Hence, the given vector is orthogonal.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Concept:

The steady-state error for a system is defined as:

ess=lims0sR(s)1+G(s)H(s){e_{ss}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{s \to 0} \frac{{sR\left( s \right)}}{{1 + G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right)}}

R(s) = Input

G(s) = open loop transfer function

H(s) = feedback gain = 1 for unity feedback system

Analysis:

For a unit step input, we have:

R(s)=1sR\left( s \right) = \frac{1}{s}

The steady-state error becomes:

ess=lims0s(1s)1+G(s)=0.1{e_{ss}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{s \to 0} \frac{{s\left( {\frac{1}{s}} \right)}}{{1 + G\left( s \right)}} = 0.1

1 + G(0) = 10

G(0) = 9

Again we have the input as:

r(t) = 10 [u(t) – u(t - 1)]

R(s)=10[1s1ses]R\left( s \right) = 10\left[ {\frac{1}{s} - \frac{1}{s}{e^{ - s}}} \right]

=10(1ess)= 10\left( {\frac{{1 - {e^{ - s}}}}{s}} \right)

∴ The steady-state error for the input will be:

ess=lims0s×10(1es)s1+G(s)e_{ss}' = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{s \to 0} \frac{{s \times 10\frac{{\left( {1 - {e^{ - s}}} \right)}}{s}}}{{1 + G\left( s \right)}}

=10(1e0)1+9= \frac{{10\left( {1 - {e^0}} \right)}}{{1 + 9}}

ess=0e_{ss}' = 0

Features of LPF wattmeter:

The circuit of the LPF wattmeter is shown below.

    

           

  • The pressure coil must be connected to the load side.
  • Series multiplier resistance (Rp) slightly reduced.
  • To eliminate the effect of inductive reactance(Lp) of the pressure coil, a capacitor must be connected in parallel with Rp.
  • A compensating coil is placed over the current coil in order to cancel the field produced by the pressure coil, which means it compensates for the effect of the impedance of the voltage coil circuit.

Points to remember:

The value of the capacitor connected in parallel to Rp is

C = 0.41 (Lp / Rp2)

Lp = Inductance of the pressure coil

The second circuit is a Schmitt trigger circuit.

Positive feedback in the OP-AMP forms a Schmitt trigger circuit.

The output of the Schmitt trigger circuit is always either ±Vsat.

Case 1: When VI < VNI

Vo = +Vsat

Case 2: When VI > VNI

Vo = -Vsat

The input at VNI is either VUTP or VLTP

VUTP=+Vsat(R2R){V_{UTP}} = +V_{sat}\left( {\frac{R}{{2R}}} \right)

VUTP = 6V

VLTP=Vsat(R2R){V_{LTP}} = -V_{sat}\left( {\frac{R}{{2R}}} \right)

VLTP = -6V

Calculation:

Case 1: When -Vi < 6V (or Vi > 6V)

VO = +Vsat = 12

Case 2: When -Vi > 6V (or Vi < 6V)

VO = -Vsat = -12

In the circuit given below, the value of R required for the transfer of maximum power to the load resistance of 3 ohms

  2. ((b))

    3 Ω

  3. ((c))

    6 Ω

  4. ((d))

    infinity

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

zero

For maximum power transfer to RL,

R should be zero so that maximum current flows through the load resistance. and hence maximum power is transferred to the load resistance.

Common Mistake:

Maximum power theorem states that for maximum power to be transferred to the load resistance RL, RL must equal the Thevenin Equivalent resistance, i.e.

RL = Rth

But here, we are asked to find the value of R, and not RL that will result in the maximum power to be transferred to load RL. So we cannot go by the standard procedure of equating RL with the Thevenin equivalent resistance.

Concept:

Some important convolution results are

  • u(t) * u(t) = t u(t)
  • -at u(t) * e­-at u(t) = t e­-at u(t)
  • -t u(t) * u(t) = (1- e­-t) u(t)
  • -at u(t) * e­-bt u(t) =1(ba)eatebt;u(t)= \frac{1}{{\left( {b - a} \right)}}{e^{ - at}} - {e^{ - bt}};u\left( t \right)
  • t;u(t)u(t)=t22u(t)t;{\rm{u}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right){\rm{*u}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right) = \frac{{{{\rm{t}}^2}}}{2}{\rm{u}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right)

Calculation:

x(t) = e-t and y(t) = e-2t

Now convolution

z(t) = x(t) * y(t)

z(t) = e-t – e-2t

Answer: ((b))

Stable and of the non-minimum phase type

Concept:

Minimum phase system: It is a system in which poles and zeros will not lie on the right side of the s-plane.  In particular, zeros will not lie on the right side of the s-plane.

For a minimum phase system,

limωG(s)H(s)=(PZ)(90)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\omega \to \infty } \angle G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = \left( {P - Z} \right)\left( { - 90^\circ } \right)

Where P & Z are finite no. of poles and zeros of G(s)H(s)

Non-minimum phase system: It is a system in which some of the poles and zeros may lie on the right side of the s-plane. In particular, zeros lie on the right side of the s-plane.

Stable system: A system is said to be stable if all the poles lie on the left side of the s-plane.

Application:

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

As one zero lies in the right side of the s-plane, it is a non-minimum phase transfer function.

As there no poles on the right side of the s-plane, it is a stable system.

    The frequency of time base (sweep) oscillator

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

The frequency of time base (sweep) oscillator

Dual Trace CRO:

  • In a dual-trace oscilloscope, a single electron beam generates 2 traces, that undergoes deflection by two independent sources.
  • In order to produce two separate traces, basically, 2 methods are used, known as an alternate and chopped mode.
  • Alternate mode of Dual Trace Oscilloscope:
  • Whenever we activate the alternate mode, then it permits the connection between both the channels alternately.
  • The control input of the multiplexer used in the circuit is fed with a signal having a frequency equal to the frequency of the time base (sweep) oscillator.
  • This alternation or switching between channels A and B takes place at the beginning of each upcoming sweep.
  • Also, there exists synchronization between the switching rate and the sweep rate.
  • This leads to the spotting of traces of each channel on one sweep. Like in the first sweep traces of channel A will be spotted, then in the next sweep traces of channel B will be considered by the CRT.
  • In this way, the alternate connection of the two-channel input with the vertical amplifier is performed.
  • The change in the electronic switch from one channel to the other occurs at flyback sweep duration. At the flyback period, the electron beam will be invisible and so the changeover from one channel to other.
  • Hence a complete sweep signal from one vertical channel will be displayed on the screen. While for the next sweep, the signal from another vertical channel will be displayed.

The figure below represents the waveform the oscilloscope output operating in alternate mode:

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

P1 = 90 MW

P2 = 15 MW

P3 = 15 MW

Power delivers to load center = 120 MW

The load is Connected through 25 km & 75 km long transmission lines by G1 (100 kW) and G2, G3 (100 MW each) respectively.

For minimum loss, higher power should come from a shorter distance transmission line connected to the generator.

Here, P1 comes from a 25 km transmission line, and P2, P3 is from a 75 km line.

So that G1 supplied power equal to the three times of the power supplied by the combination of G2 & G3.

Therefore, from option P1 = 90 MW, P2 = 15 MW & P3 = 15 MW. 

∵ P1 = 3 (P2 + P3).

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)

The Angle of asymptotes: θl=(2l+1)180PZ{θ _l} = \frac{{\left( {2l + 1} \right)180^\circ }}{{P - Z}}

l = 0, 1, 2, … |P – Z| – 1

Application:

We have,

Centroid = 22331=23\frac{-2-\frac{-2}{3}}{3-1}=\frac{-2}{3}

Asymptotes = 2±1×1802\frac{2\pm 1\times 180^\circ}{2}

The circuit of the NPN transistor is:

For an NPN transistor to operate in:

1.) Active mode

VBE >0.7V_{BE}\space > 0.7

and VCB=VCEVBE >0V_{CB}=V_{CE}-V_{BE}\space > 0

2.) Saturation mode

VBE >0.7V_{BE}\space > 0.7

and VCB=VCEVBE <0V_{CB}=V_{CE}-V_{BE}\space < 0

3.) Cut-off mode

VBE <0.7V_{BE}\space < 0.7

and VCB=VCEVBE <0V_{CB}=V_{CE}-V_{BE}\space < 0

Calculation

The value of VBE is calculated by:

VBE=VBVEV_{BE}=V_B-V_E

The base terminal of the transistor is connected to the diode whose cut-in voltage is 0.7 V

VBE=0.7(12)V_{BE}=0.7-(-12)

VBE=12.7V_{BE}=12.7 that is greater than 0.7 V

Hence, the diode can either be in saturation or active mode.

Assuming that the transistor is operating in the active region then, applying KVL to the base-emitter loop, we get

-5 + (1× IB) + 0.7 + 0.7 - 12 = 0

IB = 15.6 mA

IC = βIB 

IC = 0.468 A

Applying KVL to the collector-emitter loop, we get

  • 0 + 2.2IC + VCE - 12 = 0

CE = 10.97 V

VCB=VCEVBE V_{CB}=V_{CE}-V_{BE}\space

VCB=10.9712.7V_{CB}=10.97-12.7

VCB=1.72 V <0V_{CB}=-1.72 \space V\space <0

Hence, our assumption is wrong.

∴ the transistor is operating in the saturation region.

V+(sat) = 0.2 V

Again applying KVL,

-0 + 2.2 IC + 0.2 - 12 = 0

IC = 5.36 mA

Answer: ((a))

6 dB and 30°

Gain margin =1G(jωpc)= \frac{1}{{\left| {G\left( {j{\omega _{pc}}} \right)} \right|}}

ωpc is phase cross over frequency

ωpc occurs at ∠G(jω) = -180°

From the given table, at ∠G(jωpc) = -180°,

|G(jωpc)| = 0.5

Gain margin =10.5=2= \frac{1}{0.5} = 2 = 20 log(2) = 6 dB

At | G(jω) | = 1, phase angle ∠ G(jω) = – 150°

∴ P.M = 180 + (– 150) = 30°

    Zero, 955 rpm

  3. ((c))

    1000 rpm, -50 rpm

  4. ((d))

    1000 rpm, 955 rpm

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Zero, -50 rpm

Concept:

In an induction motor,

  • The stator is stationary and the stator field rotates with synchronous speed.
  • The rotor field rotates with synchronous speed and the rotor rotates at a speed less than the synchronous speed.

 

Synchronous speed in rpm of a three-phase induction motor is given by,

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

Where f is the frequency in Hz

P is the number of poles

A rotor of a three-phase induction motor rotates at a speed close to the synchronous speed but not equal to the synchronous speed.

The difference between the synchronous speed and the rotor speed is known as slip speed. It is given by

Slip speed = Ns - Nr

Slip is defined as the ratio of slip speed to the rotor speed.

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

⇒ Nr = Ns (1 – s)

Calculation:

Given that,

Number of poles (P) = 6

Frequency (f) = 50 Hz

Synchronous speed, Ns=120×506=1000;rpm{N_s} = \frac{{120 \times 50}}{6} = 1000;rpm

Slip at no load, s = 5 %

Rotor speed N = Ns (1 – s) = 1000(1 – 0.05) = 950 rpm

The speed of stator magnetic field = speed of rotor magnetic field = 1000 rpm

The speed of the stator magnetic field with respect to the rotor magnetic field = 1000 – 1000 = 0

The speed of the rotor with respect to the stator magnetic field = 950 – 1000 = -50 rpm

Area of the rectangular plates,

A = 20 × 10-2 × 40 × 10-2 = 0.08 m2

Breakdown strength of the dielectric = 50 kV/cm for a distance of separation d meter: Maximum voltage that can be applied

= 5 × 106 d volts.

Maximum charge in the capacitor,

Qm = CVm

Qm=εAd×5×106×d\Rightarrow {Q_m} = \frac{{{\rm{\varepsilon }}A}}{d} \times 5 \times {10^6} \times d

The response h(t) of a linear time invariant system to an impulse δ (t) , under initially relaxed condition is h(t)  = e-t + e-2t . The response of this system for a unit step input u(t) is

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

(1.5 – e-t – 0.5e-2t) u (t)

h (t) = e-t + e-2t

Taking Laplace transform,

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

For unit step input, r (t) = u (t)

∴ R (s) = 1/s

Y(s)=R(s)H(s)=1s[1s+1+1s+2] Y\left( s \right) = R\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = \frac{1}{s}\left[ {\frac{1}{{s + 1}} + \frac{1}{{s + 2}}} \right]

Y(s)=As+Bs+1+Cs+Ds+2 Y\left( s \right) = \frac{A}{s}+\frac{B}{s+1}+\frac{C}{s}+\frac{D}{s+2}

A = 1, B = -1, C = 0.5, D = -0.5

Now, Y(s) becomes, 

 Y(s)=32s1s+112(1s+2)\ Y\left( s \right) = \frac{3}{{2s}} - \frac{1}{{s + 1}} - \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{1}{{s + 2}}} \right)

Taking inverse Laplace,

Y (t) = u (t) [ 1.5 – e-t – 0.5 e –2t ]

Answer: ((c))

± 0.3%

Maximum count with 4(1/2) digits display = 19999

Given, Full-scale reading = 200 V

Hence, 1 count = 20019999\frac{200}{19999}

For, 10 count it will be, 10×20019999±0.110\times \frac{200}{19999}\approx ±0.1 V

And, error corresponded to 0.2% of reading (for 100 V) = 0.2×100100=±0.20.2\times \frac{100}{100}=±0.2 V

Hence, total error will be the sum of error due to 10 counts and error corresponded to 0.2% of reading,

or, Total error = ± 0.1 V + ± 0.2 V = ± 0.3 V

Concept:

For normal diode:

If Vp > Vn; diode is ON

If Vp < Vn; Diode is OFF

Where Vp and Vn are the voltages applied at the p-side and n-side respectively.

For Zener diode:

If |Vpn| > Vz ; Zener diode is ON

If |Vpn| < Vz ; Zener diode is OFF

Application:

Case I: Vi < – 0.7 V

For Vi < -0.7 V, the PN diode will be OFF and the Zener diode will be forward bias, behaving like a normal diode.

The equivalent circuit is drawn as:

∴ The output voltage V0 will be:

V0 + 0.7 = 0

V0 = - 0.7 V

Case II: -0.7 ≤ Vi ≤ 5.7

The circuit is drawn as:

The output voltage will be:

V0 = Vi

Case III: 5.7 < Vi < 10

For this range, Diode D will be ON and the Zener will be OFF. The equivalent circuit is as shown:

The output voltage is therefore:

V0 – 0.7 – 5 = 0

V0 = 5.7

Roots of the algebraic equation x3 + x2 + x + 1 = 0 are

  1. ((a))

    (+1, +j, -j)

  2. ((b))

    (+1, -1, +1)

  3. ((c))

    (0, 0, 0)

  4. ((d))

    (-1, +j, -j)

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

(-1, +j, -j)

Given algebraic equation,

x3 + x2 + x + 1 = 0

or, x3 + x + x2 + 1 = 0

or, x(x2 + 1) + (x2 + 1) = 0 .... (1)

Assume,

x2 = a

Hence, equation (1) can be written as,

x(a + 1) + (a + 1) = 0

Hence, (x + 1)(a + 1) = 0

Hence, 

x = -1

and,

a = -1 ⇒ x2 = -1 ⇒ x = ±j
