Consider a function f(x)=1xf\left( x \right) = 1-\left| x \right| in 1x1- 1 \le x \le 1. The value of xx at which the function attains a maximum, and the maximum value of the function are:

  1. ((a))

    0, –1

  2. ((b))

    –1, 0

  3. ((c))

    0,1

  4. ((d))

    –1, 2

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

0,1

Given f(x)=1xf\left( x \right) = 1-\left| x \right| in 1x1- 1 \le x \le 1

Since, x>0,;for;all;x\left| x \right| > 0,;for;all;x

So, x\left| x \right|can take minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 1. Also on increasing value of x\left| x \right|, value of f(x)f\left( x \right) decreases. At x=0\left| x \right| = 0, we obtain

f(x)=1xf\left( x \right) = 1 - \left| x \right|

=10=1= 1 - 0 = 1 (function has maximum value)

Again, at x=1\left| x \right| = 1, we obtain

f(x)=1xf\left( x \right) = 1 - \left| x \right|

=11=0= 1 - 1 = 0 (function has minimum value)

Thus, at x=0\left| x \right| = 0 value of f(x)f\left( x \right) is maximum and at x=1\left| x \right| = 1 value of f(x)f\left( x \right) is minimum.

    I write my experience in my personnel diary.

  3. ((c))

    All personnel are being given the day off.

  4. ((d))

    Being religious is a personnel aspect.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

All personnel are being given the day off.

The word ‘personnel’ means 'people who are employed in an organization'.

Out of the given options, this meaning is accurately represented only in the sentence from option 3. The other options are instead referring to the word 'personal'.

Hence, option 3 is the answer.

Based on the given statements, select the most appropriate option to solve the given

question. What will be the total weight of 10 poles each of same weight?

Statements:

(I) One fourth of the weight of a pole is 5Kg

(II) The total weight of these poles is 160kg more than the total weight of two poles.

  1. ((a))

    Statement I alone is not sufficient.

  2. ((b))

    Statement II alone is not sufficient.

  3. ((c))

    Either I or II alone is sufficient.

  4. ((d))

    Both statement I and II together are not sufficient.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Either I or II alone is sufficient.

The given problem requires the total weight of 10 poles, each of same weight.

We check the given statements for evaluation of the total weight.

Statement I:

Given that one fourth of weight of a pole is 5 kg.

Let weight of a pole =x;kg= x;kg

x4=5 x=20;kg\begin{array}{l} \frac{x}{4} = 5\ x = 20;kg \end{array}

Total weight of 10 poles =10x=200;kg= 10x = 200;kg

Statement II:

The total weight of 10 poles is 160 kg more than the total weight of two poles.

Let weight of a pole =x;kg= x;kg

So, total weight of 10 poles =10x= 10x

10x=2x+160 8x=160 x=20;kg\begin{array}{l} 10x = 2x + 160\ 8x = 160\ x = 20;kg \end{array}

Hence, total weight of 10 poles =10x=20×10=200;kg= 10x = 20 \times 10 = 200;kg

Thus, the given problem can be solved by using any of the two statements.

We _________ our friend’s birthday and we ________ how to make it up to him.

  1. ((a))

    completely forgot --- don’t just know

  2. ((b))

    forgot completely --- don’t just know

  3. ((c))

    completely forgot --- just don’t know

  4. ((d))

    forgot completely --- just don’t know

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

completely forgot --- just don’t know

'Completely’ and ‘just’ are considered adverbs of emphasis and should be placed in front of the verbs they describe. Even if a verb is in its negative form, for eg. "don't know", the adverb should be placed before the entire form.

The only option that satisfies this criteria in both cases is option C.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Also a function fgh;(p,q,r,s)=f(p,q,r,s)×g(p,q,r,s)×h(p,q,r,s)fgh;\left( {p,q,r,s} \right) = f\left( {p,q,r,s} \right) \times g\left( {p,q,r,s} \right) \times h\left( {p,q,r,s} \right)

Also the same operations are valid with two variable function of the form f(p,q)f\left( {p,q} \right).

What is the value of fg(h(2,5,7,3),4,6,8)fg\left( {h\left( {2,5,7,3} \right),4,6,8} \right)?

  1. ((a))

    5.34

  2. ((b))

    6.74

  3. ((c))

    28.5

  4. ((d))

    45.49

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

5.34

From the given data, we draw the schematic as

Let coordinate of N = (0,0)

Coordinate of M = (0,4)

Coordinate of O = (12,12)\left( { - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }},\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)

Coordinate of P = (12,122)\left( { - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }},\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} - 2} \right)

Hence by distance formula, we obtain

=(x1x2)2+(y1y2)2 =(012)2+(4+212)2 =5.34;km\begin{array}{l} = \sqrt {{{\left( {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{y_1} - {y_2}} \right)}^2}} \ = \sqrt {{{\left( {0 - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {4 + 2 - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2}} \ = 5.34;km \end{array}

Out of the following four sentences, select the most suitable sentence with respect to grammar and usage:

  1. ((a))

    Since the report lacked the needed information, it was of no use to them.

  2. ((b))

    The report was useless to them because there were no needed information in it.

  3. ((c))

    Since the report did not contain the needed information, it was not real useful to them.

  4. ((d))

    Since the report lacked needed information, it would not had been useful to them.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Since the report lacked the needed information, it was of no use to them.

Out of all the given sentences, only the sentence in option 1 is entirely correct with respect to grammar and usage.

Here are the errors in the other sentences:

  • Option 2: The verb 'were' should actually be 'was' since the subject 'information' is singular.
  • Option 3: The word 'real' should instead be 'really' - an adverb to describe the adjective 'useful'.
  • Option 4: 'Would not had been' is an ungrammatical tense construction.
<br>

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

In a triangle PQRPQR, PSPS is the angle bisector of SPR\angle SPR and QPS=60\angle QPS = 60. What is the

length of PSPS?

  1. ((a))

    (q+r)qr\frac{{\left( {q + r} \right)}}{{qr}}

  2. ((b))

    qr(q+r)\frac{{qr}}{{\left( {q + r} \right)}}

  3. ((c))

    (q2+rr)\sqrt {\left( {{q^2} + {r^r}} \right)}

  4. ((d))

    (q+r)2qr\frac{{{{\left( {q + r} \right)}^2}}}{{qr}}

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

qr(q+r)\frac{{qr}}{{\left( {q + r} \right)}}

We redraw this triangle as

In triangle, the internal bisector of an angle bisect the opposite side in the ratio of the other two sides. So, we have

QSSR=PQPR QSSR=rq QS+SRSR=r+qq SRQR=qr+q SR=qpr+q\begin{array}{l} \frac{{QS}}{{SR}} = \frac{{PQ}}{{PR}}\ \frac{{QS}}{{SR}} = \frac{r}{q}\ \frac{{QS + SR}}{{SR}} = \frac{{r + q}}{q}\ \frac{{SR}}{{QR}} = \frac{q}{{r + q}}\ SR = \frac{{qp}}{{r + q}} \end{array}

By using cosine formula in triangle ΔPSR{\rm{\Delta }}PSR,

cos60=(PR)2+(PS)2(SR)2(PR)(PS) 12=(q)2+(PS)2(qpr+q)2(q)(PS) PS=qrr+q\begin{array}{l} \cos 60^\circ = \frac{{{{\left( {PR} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {PS} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {SR} \right)}^2}}}{{\left( {PR} \right)\left( {PS} \right)}}\ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{{{{\left( q \right)}^2} + {{\left( {PS} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {\frac{{qp}}{{r + q}}} \right)}^2}}}{{\left( q \right)\left( {PS} \right)}}\ PS = \frac{{qr}}{{r + q}} \end{array}

Here P,R,S,T,UP,R,S,T,U are in A.P. So, the difference between two consecutive numbers will be equal, i.e.

d=RP=SR=TS=UTd = R - P = S - R = T - S = U - T

Where dd is common difference for the given A.P. Now, we check the given sequences

Sequence I:

2P,;2R,;2S;,;2T;,;2U2P,;2R,;2S;,;2T;,;2U

The differences between two consecutive numbers are obtained as

D=2R2P=2(RP)=2d D=2S2R=2(SR)=2d D=2T2S=2(TS)=2d\begin{array}{l} D = 2R - 2P = 2\left( {R - P} \right) = 2d\ D = 2S - 2R = 2\left( {S - R} \right) = 2d\ D = 2T - 2S = 2\left( {T - S} \right) = 2d \end{array}

Since, the differences are same in each case, so it is in A.P.

Sequence II:

P3,;R3,;S3,;T3,;V3P - 3,;R - 3,;S - 3,;T - 3,;V - 3

The differences between two consecutive numbers are obtained as

D=(R3)(P3) =RP3+3=RP=d D=(S3)(R3) =SR3+3=SR=d\begin{array}{l} D = \left( {R - 3} \right) - \left( {P - 3} \right)\ = R - P - 3 + 3 = R - P = d\ D = \left( {S - 3} \right) - \left( {R - 3} \right)\ = S - R - 3 + 3 = S - R = d \end{array}

Again, the differences are same in each case, so it is in A.P.

Sequence III:

P2,;R2,;S2,;T2,;V2{P^2},;{R^2},;{S^2},;{T^2},;{V^2}

The differences between two consecutive numbers are obtained as

D=R2P2=(RP)(R+P) =d(R+P) D=S2R2=(SR)(S+R) =d(S+R)\begin{array}{l} D = {R^2} - {P^2} = \left( {R - P} \right)\left( {R + P} \right)\ = d\left( {R + P} \right)\ D = {S^2} - {R^2} = \left( {S - R} \right)\left( {S + R} \right)\ = d\left( {S + R} \right) \end{array}

In this case, the differences are not same, so it is not in A.P.

Thus, sequences I and II will be in A.P.

Given f(z)=g(z)+h(z)f\left( z \right) = g\left( z \right) + h\left( z \right), where f, g, h are complex valued functions of a complex variable z. which one of the following statements is TRUE?

  1. ((a))

    If f(z)f\left( z \right) is differential at z0{z_0}, then g(z)g\left( z \right) and h(z)h\left( z \right) are also differentiable at z0{z_0}.

  2. ((b))

    If g(z)g\left( z \right) and h(z)h\left( z \right) are differentiable at z0{z_0}, then f(z)f\left( z \right) is also differentiable at z0{z_0}.

  3. ((c))

    If f(z)f\left( z \right) is continuous at z0{z_0}, then it is differentiable at z0{z_0}.

  4. ((d))

    If f(z)f\left( z \right) is differentiable at z0{z_0}, then so are its real and imaginary parts.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

If g(z)g\left( z \right) and h(z)h\left( z \right) are differentiable at z0{z_0}, then f(z)f\left( z \right) is also differentiable at z0{z_0}.

Concept:

Let f(z) = u + iv be the analytic function,

Cauchy-Riemann equations are 

vy = ux

vx = - uy

Calculation:

Given f(z)=g(z)+h(z)f\left( z \right) = g\left( z \right) + h\left( z \right)

Let g(z)=gu(z)+j;gv(z)g\left( z \right) = gu\left( z \right) + j;gv\left( z \right)

h(z)=hu(z)+j;hv(z)h\left( z \right) = hu\left( z \right) + j;hv\left( z \right)

If g and h are differentiable, then it will satisfy C-R equations. So, we have

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {g{u_x} = g{v_y},}&{g{u_y} = - g{v_x}}\ {h{u_x} = h{v_y},}&{huy = - h{v_x}} \end{array}\)

f(z)=(gu(z)+hu(z))+j;((gv(z)+hv(z))f\left( z \right) = \left( {gu\left( z \right) + hu\left( z \right)} \right) + j;(\left( {gv\left( z \right) + hv\left( z \right)} \right)

By observing the above equations, we get

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\left( {g{u_x} + h{u_x}} \right) = \left( {g{v_y} + h{v_y}} \right)}\ {\left( {g{v_y} + h{v_y}} \right) = - \left( {g{v_x} + h{v_x}} \right)} \end{array}\)

Hence, form above two equations f(z) is differentiable (because it satisfies C- R equation).

Consider the system of m linear equations

a11 x1 + a12 x2 + … + a1n xn = b1

a21 x1 + a22 x2 + … + a2n xn = b2

am1 x1 + am2 x2 + … + amn xn = bm

The above equations containing the n unknowns x1, x2, …, xn. To determine whether the above system of equations is consistent or not, we need to find the rank of the following matrices.

\(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} {{a_{11}}}&{{a_{12}}}& \ldots &{{a_{1n}}}\ {{a_{21}}}&{{a_{22}}}& \ldots &{{a_{2n}}}\ \ldots & \ldots & \ldots & \ldots \ {{a_{m1}}}&{{a_{m2}}}& \ldots &{{a_{mn}}} \end{array}} \right]\) and \(\left[ {A{\rm{|}}B} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} {{a_{11}}}&{{a_{12}}}& \ldots &{{a_{1n}}}&{{b_1}}\ {{a_{21}}}&{{a_{22}}}& \ldots &{{a_{2n}}}&{{b_2}}\ \ldots & \ldots & \ldots & \ldots & \ldots \ {{a_{m1}}}&{{a_{m2}}}& \ldots &{{a_{mn}}}&{{b_m}} \end{array}} \right]\)

A is the coefficient matrix and [A|B] is called an augmented matrix of the given system of equations.

We can find the consistency of the given system of equations as follows:

(i) If the rank of matrix A is equal to rank of an augmented matrix and it is equal to the number of unknowns, then the system is consistent and there is a unique solution.

The rank of A = Rank of augmented matrix = n

(ii) If the rank of matrix A is equal to rank of an augmented matrix and it is less than the number of unknowns, then the system is consistent and there are an infinite number of solutions.

The rank of A = Rank of augmented matrix < n

(iii) If the rank of matrix A is not equal to rank of the augmented matrix, then the system is inconsistent, and it has no solution.

The rank of A ≠ Rank of an augmented matrix

Explanation:

If determinant of coefficient matrix is non-zero then there is a unique solution. If determinant is non – zero. So all the Eigen values are non-zero. If Eigen values are non – zero then question are linearly independent.

 

 

we have a set of three linear equations with three variables.

i.e., [A]3×3 [X]3×1 = [B]3×1

Statement P:

In this case,

P(A) = P(A : B) = Number of variables

⇒ P(A) = P(A : B) = 3

∴ three independent rows exist in matrix A irrespective of matrix B.

Also, |A| ≠ 0     ---(i)

Hence, P = Q = S

Statement R:

Let λ1, λ2 & λ3 are eigen values of matrix A

using the properties,

λ1 λ2 λ3 = |A|   ----(ii)

from equation (i) & (ii),

λ1 λ2 λ3 ≠ 0

⇒ λ1 ≠ 0, λ2 ≠ 0 & λ3 ≠ 0

Therefore, from above discussion, it is inferred that,

P = Q = R = S

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

3.94 kW and 1.06 kW

Concept:

In a two-wattmeter method, for lagging load

The reading of first wattmeter (W1) = VL IL cos (30° + ϕ)

The reading of second wattmeter (W2) = VL IL cos (30° - ϕ)

Total power in the circuit (P) = W1 + W2

Calculation:

Given,

Total power consumed by load W1 + W2 = 5 kW

Power factor cos ϕ = 0.707

⇒ ϕ = cos-1 (0.707) = 45° 

The reading of first wattmeter (W1) = VL IL cos (30° + ϕ)

W1 = VL IL cos (30° + 45°) = 0.2588 VL IL

The reading of second wattmeter (W2) = VL IL cos (30° - ϕ)

W2 = VL IL cos (30° - 45°) = 0.966 VL IL

The total power consumed by the load is 

W1 + W2 = 5 kW = (0.2588 + 0.966) VL IL

⇒ VL IL = 4.082 kW

Therfore the reading in each wattmeter is 

W1 = 0.966 VL IL = 0.966 × (4.082 kW) 

W1 = 3.94 kW

W2 = 0.2588 VL IL = 0.2588 × (4.082 kW)

W2 = 1.06 kW

Concept:

  • Once the capacitor gets charged to a particular voltage, the capacitor behaves like a voltage source of that particular voltage and the diode responsible for the charging of the capacitor will always be off.
  • The voltage across the capacitor will always only depend on the peak to the peak value of the input and not on the shape of the input waveform.
  • If the given input waveform is anything other than a square wave, then during the analysis consider it as a square wave between the same two levels (+Vm, -Vm)

Explanation:

During the positive half cycle, the circuit under steady-state is as shown below.

The voltage across R, |VR| = 2 Vm

During the negative half-cycle, the circuit under steady-state is as shown below.

The voltage across R, |VR| = 2 Vm

The voltage across resistance R = 2 Vm = 2 × 100 = 200 V

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

3âx + 1.6ây + 2âz​

Given y= 0 or x-z plane

x and z are tangential components, y is normal component

y < 0, ϵ1 = 2

E1 = 3ax + 4ay + 2az

Normal component is En1 = 4ay 

y > 0, ϵ2 = 5

ϵ1 En1 = ϵ2 En2

⇒ En2 = (2/5) (4ay

E2=3ax+25(4ay)+2az{E_2} = 3{a_x} + \frac{2}{5}\left( {4{a_y}} \right) + 2{a_z}

E2 = 3ax + 1.6 ay + 2 az

Concept:

The SOP representation of the circuit is:

F = Σm (minterms)

Minterm: a minterm of n variables is a product of the variables in which each appears exactly once in true or complemented form.

The POS representation of the circuit:

F = ΠM (max terms)

Maxterm: a maxterm of n variables is a sum of the variables in which each appears exactly once in true or complemented form.

Calculation:

Given,

F=ABC+AˉBˉC+ABˉC+AˉBC+AˉBˉCˉF=ABC+\bar A\bar B C+A\bar BC+\bar ABC+\bar A\bar B\bar C

For the function, we form the K-map as:

Hence, the function in the form of minterms is expressed as:

f(A, B, C) = Σm (0,1,3,5,7)

Now, we put 0 in each block of the K-map excluding the blocks corresponding to the terms in the above function.

Grouping the 0’s in K-map, we obtain the max terms as

F = πM(2, 4, 6)

F = πM(2, 4, 6) = (A+Bˉ+C)(Aˉ+B+C)(Aˉ+Bˉ+C)\left( {A + \bar B + C} \right)\left( {\bar A + B + C} \right)\left( {\bar A + \bar B + C} \right)

f1<f2{f_1} < {f_2}

For f<f1f < {f_1}, we have the op- omp circuit as

Again, for f1<f<f2{f_1} < f < {f_2}, the op – amp circuit is

for f>f2f > {f_2}, the op – omp circuit is

Hence, the output graph is

Thus, the resultant circuit represents a band stop filter.

    Both the CB and BE junctions are forward biased.

  4. ((d))

    Both the CB and BE junctions are reverse biased.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Both the CB and BE junctions are forward biased.

In Bipolar transistor, saturation mode occurs when

  1. Collector – base (CB) is forward biased.
  2. Base-emitter (BE) is also forward biased.

Hence, for the saturation condition, bath the junction should be in forward-bias, as shown in the figure below.

The synchronous generator shown in the figure is supplying active power to an infinite bus via two short, lossless transmission lines, and is initially in steady state. The mechanical power input to the generator and the voltage magnitude E are constant. If one line is tripped at time t1 by opening the circuit breakers at the two ends (although there is no fault), then it is seen that the generator undergoes a stable transient. Which one of the following waveforms of the rotor angle δ shows the transient correctly?

  4. ((d))

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Analysis:

In the given line diagram

Line 1 is tripped at time t1 by opening the circuit breakers at the two ends (although there is no fault)

As the line is disconnected the reactance of the system increases

The maximum power transfer increases (as power is inversely proportional to the reactance of the line Pmax=EVXP_{max}=\frac{EV}{X})

It is also given that mechanical power input to the generator and the voltage magnitude E is constant.

Therefore the new electrical power is to be the same as the old power, so δ value should be increased (given in the line reactance diagram the steady-state value of δ before the transient is positive)

The rotor angle transient will be

A 3 – bus power system network consists of 3 transmission lines. The bus admittance matrix of the uncompensated system is

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

Concept:

For a 3 bus power system

For the above figure, the admittance matrix is as shown below.

\({y_{bus}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{y_{11}} + {y_{12}} + {y_{13}}}&{ - {y_{12}}}&{ - {y_{13}}}\ { - {y_{12}}}&{{y_{21}} + {y_{22}} + {y_{23}}}&{ - {y_{23}}}\ { - {y_{31}}}&{ - {y_{23}}}&{{y_{31}} + {y_{32}} + {y_{33}}} \end{array}} \right]\)

Diagonal elements of the Bus Admittance matrix are known as self-admittances and the off-diagonal elements are known as mutual admittances.

Calculation:

Given bus admittance matrix of the uncompensated line is

\(Y=\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - j6}&{j3}&{j4}\ {j3}&{ - j7}&{j5}\ {j4}&{j5}&{ - j8} \end{array}} \right]Pu\)

By comparing the above matrix with standard 3 bus matrix

y13 = -j4

y32 = -j5

⇒ y31 + y32 + y33 = -j8

⇒ y33­ = j

After compensating, y33=j2{y_{33}} = \frac{j}{2}

Y33(new) = -8.5 j.

Given as zero initial condition:

I(0-) = I(0+) = 0

When the switch is closed the inductor will act as an open circuit

∴ I(0+) = 0

After some time inductor will start charging and at t → ∞

I(∞) = V/R

Now The current through the inductor is given by:

Putting all the value in the above equation

Differentiate the equation first time then we get

Differentiate the equation a second time then we get

Hence option (4) is correct.

Concept:

Referred value in Transformer:

In order to simplify the calculation, it is theoretically possible to transfer the voltage, current, and impedance of one winding to the other winding and combined them to a single value for each quantity.

Considered a transformer has turns ration 'a' which is given by,

a=N2N1=V2V1=I1I2a = \frac{{{N_2}}}{{{N_1}}} = \frac{{{V_2}}}{{{V_1}}} = \frac{{{I_1}}}{{{I_2}}}

Where,

I1 and I2 are primary and secondary current respectively.

V1 and V2 are primary and secondary voltage respectively.

N1 and N2 are numbers of turn in primary and secondary respectively.

For an ideal transformer:

Input Power = Output Power

V12Z1=V22Z2\frac{{V_1^2}}{{{Z_1}}} = \frac{{V_2^2}}{{{Z_2}}}

V22V12=Z2Z1\frac{{V_2^2}}{{V_1^2}} = \frac{{{Z_2}}}{{{Z_1}}}

(V2V1)2=Z2Z1{\left( {\frac{{{V_2}}}{{{V_1}}}} \right)^2} = \frac{{{Z_2}}}{{{Z_1}}}

a2=Z2Z1{a^2} = \frac{{{Z_2}}}{{{Z_1}}}

Equivalent secondary Impedance in terms of primary Impedance:

Z1=Z2a2{Z_1} = \frac{{{Z_2}}}{{{a^2}}}

Equivalent primary Impedance in terms of secondary Impedance:

Z2=a2Z1{Z_2} = {a^2}{Z_1}

Calculation:

Given,

Zin is resistive and equal to 2.5 Ω

Angular frequency ω = 5000 rad/s

Inductive reactance XL = jωL = j 5000 × 1 × 10-3 = j 5 Ω 

Capative reactance XC = 1 / jωC = 1 / j(5000 × 10 × 10-6) = - j 20 Ω 

The input impedance of the transformer from the secondary side of the transformer will be

Z' = XL + R/a2 = j 5 + 2.5/a2

Circuit diagram will be as follows  

The input impedance of the transformer from the primary side of the transformer will be

Zin=1b2[2.5a2+j5]j20⇒ {Z_{in}} = \frac{1}{{{b^2}}}\left[ {\frac{{2.5}}{{{a^2}}} + j5} \right] - j20

Zin=[2.5a2×b2+j5b2]j20⇒ {Z_{in}} = \left[ {\frac{{2.5}}{{{a^2}\times {b^2}}} +\frac{{j5}}{{{b^2}}}} \right] - j20

It is given that the input impedance is resistive, therefore there won't be any reactance term in the input impedance

As there is no reactance in the input impedance, make reactance equal to zero in the above equation

20+5b2=0⇒- 20 + \frac{5}{{{b^2}}} = 0

⇒ b2 = 0.25

⇒ b = 0.5

Now the given resistive term of the input impedance is equal to 2.5 Ω 

2.5a2b2=2.5⇒ \frac{{2.5}}{{{a^2}{b^2}}} = 2.5

2.5a2×0.52=2.5⇒ \frac{{2.5}}{{{a^2}\times{0.5^2}}} = 2.5

⇒ a = 2

Therefore the value of a = 2.0, b = 0.5

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

115 and 5

Wave wound

For wave wound, number of parallel pat (A1) = 2

∴ E1=pϕNz60 A1E_1=\frac{pϕ Nz}{60\ A_1}

⇒ E11A1E_1∝\frac{1}{A_1} {p, ϕ, N & z are constants}

Lap wound

for lap wound,

Number of parallel path = Number of poles

i.e., A2 = P = 4

∴ E21A2E_2∝\frac{1}{A_2}

So,

E2E1=A2A1\frac{E_2}{E_1}=\frac{A_2}{A_1}

⇒ E2=E12E_2=\frac{E_1}{2}

It is given that armature resistance (Ra) = 0

so, E ∝ V

⇒ E2E1=V1V2\frac{E_2}{E_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}

⇒ V2=E2E1V1V_2=\frac{E_2}{E_1}V_1

⇒ V2=V12V_2=\frac{V_1}{2}

so, power (p) = V Ia

⇒ Ia=PVI_a=\frac{P}{V}

⇒ Ia1VI_a\propto\frac{1}{V}

so,

Ia2Ia1=V1V2 V2=V12\frac{I_{a_2}}{I_{a_1}}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}\ {V_2=\frac{V_1}{2}}

Ia2=2Ia1I_{a_2}=2I_{a_1}

The power of the machine will remain same as Plap = Pwave

The machine with lap wound armature coils will have rated voltage.

V2=V12=2302=115V_2=\frac{V_1}{2}=\frac{230}{2}=115 V

∴ Plap = Pwave = p = 5 kW

    The unit impulse response will have finite support

  3. ((c))

    The unit step response will be absolutely integrable

  4. ((d))

    The unit step response will be bounded

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

The unit step response will be bounded

Concept:

  • BIBO (Bounded Input Bounded output stable system is a type of system in which for given bounded input output is bounded.
  • On applying unit step input to the system then the response which we get is called unit step response.
  • Condition for absolutely integrable.

x(t)dt<\rm\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}|x(t)| dt < \infty

  • Bounded signals are those whose value always remains less than a certain value & finite support implies that the duration of the signal is finite.

 

Explanation:

  • Since the system is BIBO stable & the unit step function is bounded, the unit step response will also be bounded.

Note:

u(t)dt=1dt=\rm\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}|u(t)| dt = \rm\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}1 dt = \infty

Therefore unit step response is NOT absolutely integrable.

Explanation:

Given figure can be redrawn as,

With primary star (γ) side,

Phase voltage (va) = linevoltage(Vab)3=2303\rm \frac{line voltage (V_{ab})}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{230}{\sqrt{3}}

At secondary delta (Δ) side,

Phase voltage (VA) = line voltage (VAB) = 115 V

Transformation ratio (k) = VAVa=1152303=0.87\frac{V_A}{V_a}=\frac{115}{\frac{230}{\sqrt{3}}}=0.87

Phase current (IA) on Δ side is,

IA=Is(line)3=1003=57.7I_A=\frac{I_s\rm(line)}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{100}{\sqrt{3}}=57.7

∴ Is lags IA by 30°

So, IA = 57.7 ∠30°

Now, k=IpIAk=\frac{I_p}{I_A}

⇒ IP = k IA = 0.87 × 57.7∠30°

⇒ = 50.199 ∠30°

Hence, the correct answer is (A).

Nodal Analysis:

  • Nodal Voltage Analysis uses the “Nodal” equations of Kirchhoff’s first law to find the voltage potentials around the circuit. So by adding together all these nodal voltages the net result will be equal to zero.
  • If there are “n” nodes in the circuit there will be “n-1” independent nodal equations and these alone are sufficient to describe and hence solve the circuit.
  • At each node point write down Kirchhoff’s first law equation(KCL), that is: “the currents entering a node are exactly equal in value to the currents leaving the node” then express each current in terms of the voltage across the branch using Ohm's law.
  • So the nodal analysis is primarily based on the application of KCL and Ohm's law.
  • For “n” nodes, one node will be used as the reference node and all the other voltages will be referenced or measured with respect to this common node.

 

Let a network and find voltage V using nodal analysis

Applying nodal analysis at node V

VV1R1+VV2R2+VV3R3=0\frac{{V - {V_1}}}{{{R_1}}} + \frac{{V - {V_2}}}{{{R_2}}} + \frac{{V - {V_3}}}{{{R_3}}} = 0

Calculation:

The given circuit diagram 

Given, 

V1 = 100 ∠0°V, V2 = 100 ∠-120°V, V3 = 100 ∠+120°V

Apply nodal analysis at the node where the current i is entering

i=(V1V3)j+(V2V3)j⇒ - i = \frac{{\left( {{V_1} - {V_3}} \right)}}{{ - j}} + \frac{{\left( {{V_2} - {V_3}} \right)}}{j}

Substitute the value of V1, V2, and V3 in the above equation

i=1000100120190+100120100120190⇒ - i = \frac{{100\angle 0^\circ - 100\angle 120^\circ }}{{1\angle - 90^\circ }} + \frac{{100\angle - 120^\circ - 100\angle 120^\circ }}{{1\angle 90^\circ }}

i=10060190+1000190⇒ - i = \frac{{100\angle 60^\circ}}{{1\angle - 90^\circ }} + \frac{{-100\angle 0^\circ }}{{1\angle 90^\circ }}

⇒ i = 173.2 ∠-60°

The following discrete-time equations result from the numerical integration of the differential equations of an un-damped simple harmonic oscillator with state variables x and y. the integration time step is h.

xk+1xkh=yk yk+1ykh=xk\begin{array}{l} \frac{{{x_{k + 1}} - {x_k}}}{h} = {y_k}\ \frac{{{y_{k + 1}} - {y_k}}}{h} = - {x_k} \end{array}

For this discrete-time system, which one of the following statements is TRUE?

  1. ((a))

    The system is not stable for h>0h > 0

  2. ((b))

    The system is stable for h>1πh > \frac{1}{\pi }

  3. ((c))

    The system is not stable for 0<h>12π0< h > \frac{1}{{2\pi }}

  4. ((d))

    The system is not stable for 12π<h>1π\frac{1}{{2\pi }}< h > \frac{1}{\pi }

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

The system is not stable for h>0h > 0

Here integration time step is h, so

xk+1=xk+h yk+1=ykhxk\begin{array}{l} {x_{k + 1}} = {x_k} + h\ {y_{k + 1}} = {y_k} - h{x_k} \end{array}

Again, we may write

yk=xk+1xkh yk+1=xk+1xkhhxk =h+xkxkhhxk =;hxk+1\begin{array}{l} {y_k} = \frac{{{x_{k + 1}} - {x_k}}}{h}\ \Rightarrow {y_{k + 1}} = \frac{{{x_{k + 1}} - {x_k}}}{h} - h{x_k}\ = \frac{{h + {x_k} - {x_k}}}{h} - h{x_k}\ = ; - h{x_{k + 1}} \end{array}

Now, we form the Routh array for the above equation

\(\begin{array}{{20}{c}} {{s^1}}\ {{s^0}} \end{array}\left| {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} { - h}&0\ 1&0 \end{array}} \right.\)

Hence, according to Routh – Hurwitz criterion system is stable for

;h>0 h<0\begin{array}{l} - ;h > 0\ \Rightarrow h < 0 \end{array}

Thus, system is not stable for h>0h > 0

The unit step response of a system with the transfer function G(s)=12s1+sG\left( s \right) = \frac{{1 - 2s}}{{1 + s}} is given by which one of the following waveforms?

  1. ((a))

  2. ((b))

  3. ((c))

  4. ((d))

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Concept:

Transfer function:

The transfer function is defined as the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output variable to the input variable with all initial conditions zero.

TF = L[output]L[input]\left. {\frac{{L\left[ {output} \right]}}{{L\left[ {input} \right]}}} \right| Initial conditions = 0

TF = C(s) / R(s)

Calculation:

Given transfer function 

G(s)=12s1+sG\left( s \right) = \frac{{1 - 2s}}{{1 + s}}

Input of the system r(t) = u(t)

Apply laplace transform

R(s) = 1/s

Response of the system of unit step is

C(s) = R(s) × G(s)

⇒ Y(s)=(12s)(1+s).1sY\left( s \right) = \frac{{\left( {1 - 2s} \right)}}{{\left( {1 + s} \right)}}.\frac{1}{s}

⇒ Y(s)=A(s)+B(s+1)Y\left( s \right) = \frac{A}{{\left( s \right)}} + \frac{B}{{\left( {s + 1} \right)}}

A = 1, B = -3

Apply inverse Laplace transform 

⇒ y(t) = u(t) - 3 e-t u(t)

⇒ y(t) = (1 - 3e-t) u(t)

By plotting the above we get as follows

An open loop transfer function G(s) of a system is

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

for a unity feedback system, the breakaway point of the root loci on the real axis occurs at.

  1. ((a))

    –0.42

  2. ((b))

    –1.58

  3. ((c))

    –0.42 and 1.58

  4. ((d))

    None of the above

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

–0.42

Concept:

Break-in/away points: These exist when there are multiple roots on the root locus diagram.

At the breakpoints gain K is either maximum and/or minimum.

So, the roots of dKds\frac{{dK}}{{ds}} are the breakpoints.

Calculation:

Given open-loop system,

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

⇒ 1 + G(s) = 0

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

⇒ k = - (s3 + 3s2 + 2s)

For finding breakaway point make dKds=0\frac{{dK}}{{ds}} = 0

dKds=3s2+6s+2=0\frac{{dK}}{{ds}} = 3s^2+6s+2=0

The values of s are - 0.42, - 1.577

When we substitute both the values in transfer function only - 0.42 satisfies 

Therefore, the breakaway point of the root loci on the real axis occurs at -0.42
