The man who is now Municipal Commissioner worked as ____________________.

  1. ((a))

    the security guard at a university

  2. ((b))

    a security guard at the university

  3. ((c))

    a security guard at university

  4. ((d))

    the security guard at the university

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

a security guard at the university

The sentence is talking about the Municipal Commissioner’s previous profession. There cannot be only one security guard at the University. Thus, the indefinite article should precede the security guard. Since the location where he used to work is specific, definite article ‘the’ needs to precede it. Hence the correct option satisfying this criteria is option 2.

Computers were invented for performing only high-end useful computations. However, it is no understatement that they have taken over our world today. The internet, for example, is ubiquitous. Many believe that the internet itself is an unintended consequence of the original invention. With the advent of mobile computing on our phones, a whole new dimension is now enabled. One is left wondering if all these developments are good or, more importantly, required.

Which of the statement(s) below is/are logically valid and can be inferred from the above paragraph?

(i) The author believes that computers are not good for us.

(ii) Mobile computers and the internet are both intended inventions

  1. ((a))

    (i) only 

  2. ((b))

    (ii) only

  3. ((c))

    both (i) and (ii)

  4. ((d))

    neither (i) nor (ii)

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

neither (i) nor (ii)

The passage states how computers have taken over the world today. The last line of the passage helps us infer that though the author understands how the new developments like computers have helped us, he is dubious as to whether these developments are actually beneficial or required.

The first inference does not hold.

The second inference does not hold because the passage clearly states that many people feel that the internet is an unintended invention.

All hill-stations have a lake. Ooty has two lakes.

Which of the statement(s) below is/are logically valid and can be inferred from the above sentences?

(i) Ooty is not a hill-station.

(ii) No hill-station can have more than one lake.

  1. ((a))

    (i) only

  2. ((b))

    (ii) only

  3. ((c))

    both (i) and (ii)

  4. ((d))

    neither (i) nor (ii)

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

neither (i) nor (ii)

Let us look at the inferences one by one.

Since all hill stations have lakes and Ooty has two lakes, then Ooty must be a hill station.

The second inference does not follow because there can be no fixed rule as to how many lakes must a hill station have.

Thus none of the inferences follow.

Concept:

Bilateral Laplace transform:

\(L\left[ {x\left( t \right)} \right] = x\left( s \right) = ;\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty x\left( t \right){e^{ - st}}dt\)

Unilateral Laplace transform:

Frequency shifting property:

If X(s) is the Laplace transform of x(t), then

eatX(s)X(sa){e^{at}}X\left( s \right) \leftrightarrow X\left( {s - a} \right)

Calculation:

f(t) = e2t sin (5t) u(t)

L(sin(5t)u(t))=5s2+25L\left( {\sin \left( {5t} \right)u\left( t \right)} \right) = \frac{5}{{{s^2} + 25}}

By using frequency shifting property,

 The Laplace transform of f(t) is

F(s)=5(s2)2+25=5s24s+29F\left( s \right) = \frac{5}{{{{\left( {s - 2} \right)}^2} + 25}} = \frac{5}{{{s^2} - 4s + 29}}

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

5e25{e^{ - 2}}

d2ydt2+2dydt+y=0\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{t^2}}} + \frac{{2dy}}{{dt}} + y = 0

By applying the Laplace transform,

s2Y(s)sy(0)y(0)+2sY(s)2y(0)+Y(s)=0{s^2}Y\left( s \right) - sy\left( 0 \right) - y'\left( 0 \right) + 2sY\left( s \right) - 2y\left( 0 \right) + Y\left( s \right) = 0

Y(s)=s+2+y(0)(s+1)2 \Rightarrow Y\left( s \right) = \frac{{s + 2 + y'\left( 0 \right)}}{{{{\left( {s + 1} \right)}^2}}}

=1s+1+1+y(0)(s+1)2 = \frac{1}{{s + 1}} + \frac{{1 + y'\left( 0 \right)}}{{{{\left( {s + 1} \right)}^2}}}

By applying the inverse Laplace transform

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {y\left( t \right) = {e^{ - t}} + \left( {1 + y'\left( 0 \right)} \right)t{e^{ - t}}} \end{array}\)

y(1) = 3 e-1

⇒ y(1) = e-1 + (1 + y’(0)) e-1 = 3 e-1

⇒ y’(0) = 1

Now the equation of y(t) becomes

y(t) = (1 + 2t) e-t

At t = 2,

y(2) = 5 e-2

Cauchy’s Theorem:

If f(z) is an analytic function and f’(z) is continuous at each point within and on a closed curve C, then

Cf(z)dz=0\mathop \oint \limits_C f\left( z \right)dz = 0

Cauchy’s Integral Formula:

If f(z) is an analytic function within a closed curve and if a is any point within C, then

f(a)=12πiCf(z)zadzf\left( a \right) = \frac{1}{{2\pi i}}\mathop \oint \limits_C \frac{{f\left( z \right)}}{{z - a}}dz

fn(a)=n!2πiCf(z)(za)n+1dz{f^n}\left( a \right) = \frac{{n!}}{{2\pi i}}\mathop \oint \limits_C \frac{{f\left( z \right)}}{{{{\left( {z - a} \right)}^{n + 1}}}}dz

Calculation:

f(z)=2z+5(z12)(z24z+5)dzf\left( z \right) = \oint \frac{{2z + 5}}{{\left( {z - \frac{1}{2}} \right)\left( {{z^2} - 4z + 5} \right)}}dz

the poles are \(z; = ;\raise.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 1$}\kern-.1em/ \kern-.15em\lower.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 2$} ,2; \pm ;i\)

Since the contour is z=1\left| z \right| = 1, hence we will consider only z=12z = \frac{1}{2}

The value of integral will be

2πi[(z12)(2z+5(z12)(z24z+5))]z=122\pi i{\left[ {\left( {z - \frac{1}{2}} \right)\left( {\frac{{2z + 5}}{{\left( {z - \frac{1}{2}} \right)\left( {{z^2} - 4z + 5} \right)}}} \right)} \right]_{z = \frac{1}{2}}}

=2πi(6142+5)= 2\pi i\left( {\frac{6}{{\frac{1}{4} - 2 + 5}}} \right)

=48πi13= \frac{{48\pi i}}{{13}}

Answer: ((b))

12,+45\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}, + 45^\circ

Concept:

For an LTI system, the sinusoidal input produces a sinusoidal output of the same frequency but different amplitude and phase. The amplitude and phase depend upon the transfer function of the system.

For example:

Let, r(t) = cos(ωt) then

y(t) = a cos(ωt + ϕ)

where a = |H(jω)|, ϕ = ∠ H(jω)

H(jω)=Y(jω)X(jω)H(jω)=\frac{Y(jω)}{X(jω)}

Calculation:

H(jω)=jωjω+2H(jω)=\frac{jω}{jω+2}

r(t) = cos (2t)

ω = 2

H(jω)=j2j2+2H(jω)=\frac{j2}{j2+2}

H(jω)=12|H(jω)|=\frac{{1}}{{\sqrt 2}}

∠ H(jω) = 90° - 45°

= +45° 

y(t)=12 cos(2t+45)y(t)=\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}~cos (2t + 45^{\circ})

Gain margin (GM): The gain margin of the system defines by how much the system gain can be increased so that the system moves on the edge of stability.

It is determined from the gain at the phase cross over frequency.

GM=1G(jω)H(jω)ω=ωpcGM = \frac{1}{{{{\left| {G\left( {j\omega } \right)H\left( {j\omega } \right)} \right|}_{\omega = {\omega _{pc}}}}}}

Phase crossover frequency (ωpc): It is the frequency at which phase angle of G(s) H(s) is -180°.

G(jω)H(jω)ω=ωpc=180\angle G\left( {j\omega } \right)H\left( {j\omega } \right){|_{\omega = {\omega _{pc}}}} = - 180^\circ

Phase margin (PM): The phase margin of the system defines by how much the phase of the system can increase to make the system unstable.

PM=180+G(jω)H(jω)ω=ωgc=180PM = 180^\circ + \angle G\left( {j\omega } \right)H\left( {j\omega } \right){|_{\omega = {\omega _{gc}}}} = - 180^\circ

It is determined from the phase at the gain cross over frequency.

Gain crossover frequency (ωgc): It is the frequency at which the magnitude of G(s) H(s) is unity.

G(jω)H(jω)ω=ωgc=1{\left| {G\left( {j\omega } \right)H\left( {j\omega } \right)} \right|_{\omega = {\omega _{gc}}}} = 1

Calculation:

G(s)=100(s+1)3=100s3+1+3s(1+s) G(jω)=100((13ω2)j(3ωω3))(13ω2)2+(3ωω3)2\begin{array}{l} G\left( s \right) = \frac{{100}}{{{{\left( {s + 1} \right)}^3}}} = \frac{{100}}{{{s^3} + 1 + 3s\left( {1 + s} \right)}}\ G\left( {j\omega } \right) = \frac{{100\left( {\left( {1 - 3{\omega ^2}} \right) - j\left( {3\omega - {\omega ^3}} \right)} \right)}}{{{{\left( {1 - 3{\omega ^2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {3\omega - {\omega ^3}} \right)}^2}}} \end{array}

at phase cross over frequency, phase = -180°

Hence, the imaginary part should be zero

∴ ω2;=;3{\omega ^2}; = ;3

ω=3\omega = \sqrt 3

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

linear and time-varying

Concept:

Linear system

The system is said to be linear if it follows Homogenous and Superposition property.

  1. The system is homogenous if 

y(t) = α1x(t) 

y(t) = α2x(t)

  1. The system follows Superposition if

y(t) = α1x(t) + α2x(t)

Time invariant system

if y(t - t0) = x(t - t0)

and y(t') = x(t - t0)  

Analysis:

For the given signal check linearity property

y(t) = x(t)cos(t)

  1. check homogeneity

y(t) = α1x(t)cos(t)

y(t) = α2x(t)cos(t)

  1. check superposition 

y(t) = α1x(t)cos(t) + α2x(t)cos(t)

The system follows both homogeneity and superposition thus the system is Linear.

check the time invariance

y(t - t0) = x(t - t0)cos(t - t0)

and y(t') = x(t - t0)cos(t)

since y(t - t0) ≠ y(t') 

System is not time invariant.

Hence option (3) is correct

Shifting property of impulse function

x(t)δ(ta)dt=x(a)\rm\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x(t) \delta (t -a ) dt = x(a)

Scaling property of impulse function

δ(at)=1a)δ(t)\delta (at) = \frac{1}{|a|)} \delta (t)

Explanation:

Let:

I=etδ(2t2)dt\rm I =\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-t} \delta(2t - 2) dt

I=etδ[2(t1)]dt I = \rm\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-t} \delta[2(t - 1)] dt

Using scaling property of impulse function in the above equation, we'll get:

I=et12δ(t1)dt I =\rm\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-t} \frac{1}{|2|}\delta(t - 1) dt

Applying Shifting property of impulse function to the above equation, we'll get:

I=12etδ(t1)dt I =\frac{1}{2}\rm\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-t} \delta(t - 1) dt

I=12.ett=1I = \frac{1}{2}. \left. e^{-t} \right|_{t = 1}

Concept:

  • Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) transform an analog voltage to a binary number (a series of 1’s and 0’s).
  • Then eventually to a digital number (base 10) for reading on a meter, monitor, or chart.
  • The ADC resolution depends upon the number of bits used to represent the digit number.
  • As the number of bits increases the resolution of an Analog to Digital Converter improves and the quantization error decreases.

 

Resolution for n – bit A/D converter  will be:

R=VFS × (2ibi)2n1R= \frac{V_{FS} \ \times \ (2^ib^i)}{{{2^n} - 1}}

Where 

R = Resolution

VFS is reference voltage 'or' Full-scale voltage

n = number of bits

2ibi gives output voltage value.

Calculation:

Given that,

Resolution = 0.1° C

Final temp = 55° C

Initial temp  = 40° C

calculating the range of temperature

Range of temperature = (Final temp - Initial temp)

= 55° - (-40 °) = 95° C 

No of points required = Range of temp/ resolution

= 95/0.1 = 950

The number of bits (n) for ADC is given by

2n > No. of points required

n > log2(No. of points required)

RA and RB are the input resistances of circuits as shown below. The circuits extend infinitely in the direction shown. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?

  1. ((a))

    RA = RB

  2. ((b))

    RA = RB = 0

  3. ((c))

    RA < RB

  4. ((d))

    RB = RA /(1 + RA)

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

RB = RA /(1 + RA)

For  RA  

RA=RA1+RA+2{R_A} = \frac{{{R_A}}}{{1 + {R_A}}} + 2

(RA)2 + RA = 2 + 3RA

(RA)2 - 2RA - 2  = 0 

On solving we'll get:

RA = 1 ± √3 ----(1)

RB=RB+2RB+3{R_B} = \frac{{{R_B} + 2}}{{{R_B} + 3}}

(RB)2 + 2RB - 2  = 0 

On solving we'll get:

RB = -1 ± √3   ---(2)  

From the given equation

RA ≠ RB & RA , RB ≠ 0

also RA > RB 

Hence options (D) is correct

In a constant V/fV/f induction motor drive, the slip at the maximum torque

  1. ((a))

    is directly proportional to the synchronous speed.

  2. ((b))

    remains constant with respect to the synchronous speed.

  3. ((c))

    has an inverse relation with the synchronous speed.

  4. ((d))

    has no relation with the synchronous speed.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

has an inverse relation with the synchronous speed.

Concept:

  • From the below diagram we can observe that the maximum torque of an induction motor is independent of rotor resistance
  • Slip at which maximum torque occurs depends on rotor resistance and they change on adding the additional resistance to the rotor circuit.

The maximum torque of an induction motor is given by

Tmax=kE2022X20{T_{max}} = \frac{{kE_{20}^2}}{{2{X_{20}}}}

∴ Maximum torque is directly proportional to supply voltage & maximum torque is inversely proportional to rotor reactance.

Hence, the maximum torque is dependent on the supply voltage & reactance of the rotor and is independent of the rotor resistance.

Sm the value of slip corresponding to the maximum torque is

Sm=R2X20{S_m} = \frac{{{R_2}}}{{{X_{20}}}}

Explanation:

For any voltage and frequency slip corresponding to maximum torque in three phase induction motor is,

Sm=R2X20{S_m} = \frac{{{R_2}}}{{{X_{20}}}}

where, X ∝ f

 Sm  ∝ (1/Ns)                         [ NS ∝ f ]

Thus the slip has inverse relation with the synchronous speed,

  4. ((d))

    the number of unknown voltage angles remains unchanged and the number of unknown voltage magnitudes decreases by two.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

the number of unknown voltage angles remains unchanged and the number of unknown voltage magnitudes increases by two.

For PV buses, voltage magnitude was known quantity, if changed to PQ type the voltage magnitude becomes unknown. Also the angle was known quantity before and now it is unknown.

Explanation:

A bus in a power system is a line at which the several components of the power system like generators, loads, and feeders, etc., are connected.

The buses in a power system are associated with four quantities, these quantities are the following:

  • The magnitude of the voltage
  • Phase angle
  • Active power
  • Reactive power

In the load flow studies, two variable are known, and the other two is to determined.

Depends on the quantity to be specified the buses are classified into three categories as follow:

 

 

 

 

 

The table shown below shows the types of buses and the associated known and unknown value.

Type of BusesSpecified QuantitiesUnknown Quantities
A generation or P-V BusP, | V |Q, δ
Load or P-Q BusP, Q| V |, δ
Slack or Reference Bus| V |, δP, Q

 

Generation Bus  or Voltage Control Bus:

  • This bus is also called the P-V bus.
  • on this bus, the voltage magnitude corresponding to generate voltage and true or active power P corresponding to its rating are specified.
  • Voltage magnitude is maintained constant at a specified value by injection of reactive power.
  • The reactive power generation Q and phase angle δ of the voltage is to be computed.

Load Bus:

  • This is also called the P-Q bus
  • at this bus, the active and reactive power is injected into the network.
  • The magnitude and phase angle of the voltage is to be computed.
  • Here the active power P and reactive power Q are specified, and the load bus voltage can be permitted within a tolerable value, i.e., 5 %.
  • The phase angle of the voltage, i.e.δ is not very important for the load.

Slack, Swing, or Reference Bus:

  • Slack bus in a power system absorbs or emits active or reactive power from the power system.
  • The slack bus does not carry any load.
  • At this bus, the magnitude and phase angle of the voltage is specified.
  • The phase angle of the voltage is usually set equal to zero.

Consider a system consisting of a synchronous generator working at a lagging power factor, a synchronous motor working at an overexcited condition and a directly grid-connected induction generator. Consider capacitive VAr to be a source and inductive VAr to be a sink of reactive power. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?

  1. ((a))

    Synchronous motor and synchronous generator are sources and induction generator is a sink of reactive power.

  2. ((b))

    Synchronous motor and induction generator are sources and synchronous generator is a sink of reactive power.

  3. ((c))

    Synchronous motor is a source and induction generator and synchronous generator are sinks of reactive power.

  4. ((d))

    All are sources of reactive power.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Synchronous motor and synchronous generator are sources and induction generator is a sink of reactive power.

  • Generally, synchronous machines are designed with over-excitation to improve stability.
  • Synchronous motors are designed with leading power factors and synchronous generators are designed with lagging power factors to improve stability.
  • An alternator or synchronous generator operating at a lagging power factor means it's overexcited and can supply lagging reactive power (Q) and real power (P). Hence synchronous generator operating at lagging pf is the source of reactive power factor.
  • Over excited synchronous machine works at leading power factor and can supply reactive power, hence over-excited synchronous motor is source of reactive power
  • The induction generator needs reactive power to function in the absence of rotor dc excitation. Hence it is sink of reactive power.

  4. ((d))

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Concept:

For lap wound, the number of parallel path (A) is equal to the number of poles (P)

Explanation:

Armature current in the each parallel path = I/A IA=IA{I_A} = \frac{I}{A} 

Where,

A= No. of parallel paths

In this case A=4 for lap connected winding

So, current in armature conductor = 10 A​

NS=120fP=600rpm{N_S} = \frac{{120f}}{P} = 600 rpm

 f = 20 H. 

so, T = 50 msec with straight line commutation.

When dc current passes through simulator and goes inside armature, its shape will be that of shown is option (C)

Transformation ratio of transformer is given by K = V2/V1 = E2/E1 = N2/N1.

Where N1 is the number of primary turns

V1 is the primary voltage

N2 is the number of secondary turns

V2 is the secondary voltage

Step-up transformer:

A transformer that increases the voltage from primary to secondary (more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns) is called a step-up transformer.

Therefore, K > 1

Step down transformer:

A transformer that decreases the voltage from primary to secondary (more primary winding turns than secondary winding turns) is called a step-down transformer.

Therefore, K < 1

Explanation:

Transformation ratio (k) = N2N1=1n\frac{N_2}{{{N_1}}} = \frac{1}{{{n}}}

When Port 2 inductance L is referred to Port 1

Then, inductance will be =Lk2=L1n2=n2L= \frac{L}{{{k^2}}} = \frac{L}{{\frac{1}{{{n^2}}}}} = {n^2}L

  3. ((c))

    2s(1+2s)(1+4s)\frac{{2s}}{{\left( {1 + 2s} \right)\left( {1 + 4s} \right)}}

  4. ((d))

    4s(1+2s)(1+4s)2\frac{{4s}}{{\left( {1 + 2s} \right){{\left( {1 + 4s} \right)}^2}}}

Answer: ((a))

2s(1+0.5s)(1+0.25s)2\frac{{2s}}{{\left( {1 + 0.5s} \right){{\left( {1 + 0.25s} \right)}^2}}}

Here starting slope is +20 db/dec

Hence s1 is at numerator part of T.F.

Now from the straight line equation y = mx + c, we get

0 = 20 log (0.5) + c

∴ c = 6.0205

Now c = 20 log K

6.0205 = 20 log K

K = 2

We can find the value of ω1 as

12 = 20 log (ω1) + 6.0205

ω1 = 1.99 ≈ 2

Now we have to find ω2,  so that

0 = - 40 log (8) + c

c = 36.1236

∴ 12 = - 40 log (ω2) + 36.1236

ω2 = 4

Hence transfer function for given bode plot is

Suppose x1(t){x_1}\left( t \right) and x2(t){x_2}\left( t \right) have the Fourier transforms as shown below.

Which one of the following statements is TRUE?

  1. ((a))

    x1(t){x_1}\left( t \right) and x2(t){x_2}\left( t \right) are complex and x1(t)x2(t){x_1}\left( t \right){x_2}\left( t \right) is also complex with nonzero imaginary part

  2. ((b))

    x1(t){x_1}\left( t \right) and x2(t){x_2}\left( t \right) are real and x1(t)x2(t){x_1}\left( t \right){x_2}\left( t \right) is also real

  4. ((d))

    x1(t){x_1}\left( t \right) and x2(t){x_2}\left( t \right) are imaginary but x1(t)x2(t){x_1}\left( t \right){x_2}\left( t \right) is real

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

x1(t){x_1}\left( t \right) and x2(t){x_2}\left( t \right) are complex but x1(t)x2(t){x_1}\left( t \right){x_2}\left( t \right) is real

X1(jω){X_1}\left( {j\omega } \right) and X2(jω){X_2}\left( {j\omega } \right) are not conjugate symmetric, hence x1(t),;x2(t){x_1}\left( t \right),;{x_2}\left( t \right) are not real

Now, Fourier transform of x1(t).;x2(t){x_1}\left( t \right).;{x_2}\left( t \right) will be \(\frac{1}{{2x}}{X_1}\left( {j\omega } \right){X_2}\left( {j\omega } \right)\) and by looking at X1(jω){X_1}\left( {j\omega } \right) and X2(jω){X_2}\left( {j\omega } \right) We can say that \({X_1}\left( {j\omega } \right){X_2}\left( {j\omega } \right)\) will be conjugate symmetric and thus x1(t).x2(t){x_1}\left( t \right).{x_2}\left( t \right) will be real.

The output of a continuous-time, linear time-invariant system is denoted by \(T\left{ {x\left( t \right)} \right}\) where x(t)x\left( t \right) is the input signal. A signal z(t)z\left( t \right) is called eigen-signal of the system  , when \(T\left{ {z\left( t \right)} \right} = \gamma z\left( t \right)\), where γ\gamma  is a complex number, in general, and is called an eigenvalue of TT. Suppose the impulse response of the system TT is real and even. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

  1. ((a))

    cos(t)cos\left( t \right)​​ is an eigen-signal but sin(t)sin\left( t \right) is not

  2. ((b))

    cos(t);and;sin(t)cos\left( t \right);and;sin\left( t \right) are both eigen-signals but with different eigenvalues

  3. ((c))

    sin(t)sin\left( t \right) is an eigen-signal but cos(t)cos\left( t \right) is not

  4. ((d))

    cos(t)cos\left( t \right) and sin(t)sin\left( t \right) are both eigen-signals with identical eigenvalues

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

cos(t)cos\left( t \right) and sin(t)sin\left( t \right) are both eigen-signals with identical eigenvalues

Concept:

A signal is said to be Eigen function if the output is scalar multiple of input signal and that scalar is referred as Eigen value.

Let input signal is x(t) and it is an Eigen function then

output = K x(t) where K is Eigen value.

Explanation:

The impulse response is real and even, hence H(jω)H\left( {j\omega } \right) will also be real and even.

Since H(jω)H\left( {j\omega } \right) is real and even, H(jω0);=;H(jω0)H\left( {j{\omega _0}} \right); = ;H\left( { - j{\omega _0}} \right)

Now cos(t)cos\left( t \right) is input i.e. ejt+ejt2\frac{{{e^{jt}} + {e^{ - jt}}}}{2}  is input

Output H(j1)ejt+H(j1)ejt2=H(j1)[ejt+ejt2]=H(j1)cos(t)\frac{{H\left( {j1} \right){e^{jt}} + H\left( { - j1} \right){e^{ - jt}}}}{2} = H\left( {j1} \right)\left[ {\frac{{{e^{jt}} + {e^{ - jt}}}}{2}} \right] = H\left( {j1} \right){\rm{cos}}\left( t \right)

If sin(t)sin\left( t \right) is input i.e. ;ejtejt2j;\frac{{{e^{jt}} - {e^{ - jt}}}}{2j} is input

Output will be H(j1)ejtH(j1)ejt2j=H(j1)[ejtejt2j]=H(j1)sin(t)\frac{{H\left( {j1} \right){e^{jt}} - H\left( { - j1} \right){e^{ - jt}}}}{2j} = H\left( {j1} \right)\left[ {\frac{{{e^{jt}} - {e^{ - jt}}}}{2j}} \right] = H\left( {j1} \right)\sin \left( t \right)

So sin(t)sin\left( t \right) and cos(t)cos\left( t \right) are eigen signals with same eigen values.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

242

Concept:

The maximum power rating of the autotransformer is (1 + a) times the power rating of the same device when operated as a regular two-winding transformer.

Sauto = (1 + a) S2-w

Turn ratio a=N1N2a = \frac{{{N_1}}}{{{N_2}}}

Sauto = rating of autotransformer

S2-w = rating of two winding transformer

N1 = number of turn at the primary side

N2 = number of turn at the secondary side

Sauto = (1 + a) S2-w

Calculation:

The required output voltage is 2420 i.e. (2200+220);V\left( {2200 + 220} \right);V

Hence it is the case of additive polarity

\(\begin{array}{l} {\left( {kVA} \right){auto}} = \left( {{k{2winding}} + 1} \right) \times kV{A_{2winding}}\ {k_{2winding}} = \frac{{2200}}{{220}} = 10\ {\left( {kVA} \right)_{auto}} = \left( {10 + 1} \right) \times 22 = 242 \end{array}\)

Alternate Method

Consider the transformation ratio for Autotransformer is K=N1N2K = \frac{{{N_1}}}{{{N_2}}}

The kVA rating of autotransformer = 111K\frac{1}{{1 - \frac{1}{K}}} × two winding transformers; for step-up transformer

Note: Maximum kVA rating of Auto-transformer occurs in Additive polarity.
