1

The chairman requested the aggrieved shareholders to _________________ him.

  1. ((a))

    bare with

  2. ((b))

    bore with

  3. ((c))

    bear with

  4. ((d))

    bare

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

bear with

The context of the sentence requires a phrasal verb that will mean to ‘endure’. The phrasal verb from the options with that meaning is ‘bear with’. ‘Bore with’ is in the past tense and cannot be used because the blank is preceded by ‘to’. Thus the base form of the verb needs to be used. ‘Bare’ means to disclose or uncover and thus does not fit the context.

R2D2 is a robot. R2D2 can repair aeroplanes. No other robot can repair aeroplanes.

Which of the following can be logically inferred from the above statements?

  1. ((a))

    R2D2 is a robot which can only repair aeroplanes.

  2. ((b))

    R2D2 is the only robot which can repair aeroplanes.

  3. ((c))

    R2D2 is a robot which can repair only aeroplanes.

  4. ((d))

    Only R2D2 is a robot.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

R2D2 is the only robot which can repair aeroplanes.

There are two facts. R2D2 is a robot who can repair aeroplanes and no other robot can do this work. The other functions of R2D2 is not known and thus inference 1 does not follow.

We do not know whether R2D2 can repair anything else other than aeroplanes. Thus option 3 does not follow.

There can be other robots and thus option 4 is eliminated.

Only option 2 is the logical inference that follows.

9y6=3 9y6=±3\begin{array}{l} \left| {9y - 6} \right| = 3\ 9y - 6 = \pm 3 \end{array}

Case 1:

9y6=3y19y - 6 = 3 \Rightarrow y - 1

Case 2:

9y6=3y=139y - 6 = - 3 \Rightarrow y = \frac{1}{3}

Substitute y=1y = 1

y24y3=13{y^2} - \frac{{4y}}{3} = - \frac{1}{3}

Substitute y=13y = \frac{1}{3}

y24y3=13{y^2} - \frac{{4y}}{3} = - \frac{1}{3}

A poll of students appearing for masters in engineering indicated that 60 % of the students believed that mechanical engineering is a profession unsuitable for women. A research study on women with masters or higher degrees in mechanical engineering found that 99 % of such women were successful in their professions.

Which of the following can be logically inferred from the above paragraph?

  1. ((a))

    Many students have misconceptions regarding various engineering disciplines.

  2. ((b))

    Men with advanced degrees in mechanical engineering believe women are well suited to be mechanical engineers.

  3. ((c))

    Mechanical engineering is a profession well suited for women with masters or higher degrees in mechanical engineering.

  4. ((d))

    The number of women pursuing higher degrees in mechanical engineering is small.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Mechanical engineering is a profession well suited for women with masters or higher degrees in mechanical engineering.

Let us examine the options one by one:

  1. Various engineering disciplines have not been talked about in the paragraph and thus this inference does not follow. We cannot make a general statement with respect to various disciplines when only mechanical engineering has been talked about.
  2. The poll taken was for students and the gender of the students participating in the poll has not been mentioned. Thus this inference does not hold.
  3. This inference hold because the research study found that the women with a high degree in mechanical engineering were successful in their profession. Thus it can be a suitable profession for them.
  4. We cannot infer anything about the number of women pursuing mechanical engineering because no information has been provided regarding the same.

Thus option 3 is the answer.

Sourya committee had proposed the establishment of Sourya Institutes of Technology (SITs) in line with Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) to cater to the technological and industrial needs of a developing country.

Which of the following can be logically inferred from the above sentence?

Based on the proposal,

(i) In the initial years, SIT students will get degrees from IIT.

(ii) SITs will have a distinct national objective.

(iii) SIT like institutions can only be established in consultation with IIT.

(iv) SITs will serve technological needs of a developing country.

  1. ((a))

    (iii) and (iv) only.

  2. ((b))

    (i) and (iv) only.

  3. ((c))

    (ii) and (iv) only.

  4. ((d))

    (ii) and (iii) only.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

(ii) and (iv) only.

Let us examine the options one by one.

  1. No inference can be drawn about the degrees of the students because no such information has been provided in the passage.
  2. Since the institutes are being set up to cater to the technological development needs, it can be inferred they have a national objective. Thus this options follows
  3. Though SITs re being established in collaboration with IITs it is not always true that they cannot be set up independently. Thus this option does not hold.
  4. The passage states that the SITs are being set up keeping in mind the technological developments. Thus this inference definitely follows.

Hence options 2 and 4 are logical inferences.

The circuit shown below is an example of a

  1. ((a))

    Low pass filter.

  2. ((b))

    band pass filter.

  3. ((c))

    high pass filter.

  4. ((d))

    notch filter.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Low pass filter.

Concept:

Capacitive reactance(Xc) 

Xc=1ωCX_c = \frac{1}{ω C}

Where C = capacitance in farad, ω = angular frequency in rad/sec

For finding the type of filter find its low frequency and high-frequency response :

At Low-Frequency open circuit, the Capacitors.

At a High-frequency short circuit, the capacitors

For ideal op-amp according to the virtual short concept 

V- = V+

Calculation:

At low frequencies i.e. at ω=;0;Xc=1ωc={\rm{ω }} = {\rm{;}}0{\rm{;}} \Rightarrow {{\rm{X}}_{\rm{c}}} = \frac{1}{{{\rm{ω c}}}} = \infty

∴ The capacitor acts like an open circuit

Due to the virtual short concept V- = V+ = 0 (Virtual Ground)

Apply KCL at node 'a' and we get,

\(\therefore {{\rm{V}}_{{\rm{out}}}} = \frac{{ - {{\rm{R}}_2}}}{{{{\rm{R}}1}}}{{\rm{V}}{{\rm{in}}}}\)

At high frequencies i.e. at ω=Xc=1ωc=0{\rm{ω }} = \infty \Rightarrow {{\rm{X}}_{\rm{c}}} = \frac{1}{{{\rm{ω c}}}} = 0

I.e. capacitor acts like a short circuit

Input directly connected to the output so

;Vout;=;0\therefore {\rm{;}}{{\rm{V}}_{{\rm{out}}}}{\rm{;}} = {\rm{;}}0    (Due to virtual short concept)

So the given circuit passes only low frequencies hence it acts as a low pass filter.

The response of the system to the input x(t)=3et3u(t)x\left( t \right) = 3{e^{ - \frac{t}{3}u\left( t \right)}}. Where u(t) denotes the unit step function is

  1. ((a))

    9et3u(t)9{e^{ - \frac{t}{3}}}u\left( t \right)

  2. ((b))

Concept:

Laplace transform is an important tool for converting differential equations in the time domain to algebraic equations in the frequency domain.

This analysis involves three important processes:

1) The transformation from the time domain to the frequency domain.

2) Manipulate the algebraic equations to form a solution.

3) The inverse transformation from the frequency to the time domain.

Mathematically, the Laplace transform of a function f(t) is defined as:

\(L[f(t)]=F(s)=\mathop \smallint \limits_0^\infty f\left( t \right){e^{ - st}}dt\)

s = σ + jω is the complex frequency 

Applications of the Laplace Transform:

  1. Solve differential equations (both ordinary and partial)

  2. Application in RLC circuit analysis.

Calculation:

Given ddty(t)+16y(t)=3x(t)\frac{{\rm{d}}}{{{\rm{dt}}}}{\rm{y}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right) + \frac{1}{6}{\rm{y}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right) = 3{\rm{x}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right)

Apply Laplace transform we get

sY(s)+16Y(s)=3X(s){\rm{sY}}\left( {\rm{s}} \right) + \frac{1}{6}{\rm{Y}}\left( {\rm{s}} \right) = 3{\rm{X}}\left( {\rm{s}} \right) But X(s)=3(s+13){\rm{X}}\left( {\rm{s}} \right) = \frac{3}{{\left( {{\rm{s}} + \frac{1}{3}} \right)}} 

Y(s)=3X(s)(s+16)=9(s+16)(s+13) Y(s)=9(s+16)(16+13)+9(s+13)(13+16) Y(s)=54s+1654(s+13)\begin{array}{l} \therefore {\rm{Y}}\left( {\rm{s}} \right) = \frac{{3{\rm{X}}\left( {\rm{s}} \right)}}{{\left( {{\rm{s}} + \frac{1}{6}} \right)}} = \frac{9}{{\left( {{\rm{s}} + \frac{1}{6}} \right)\left( {{\rm{s}} + \frac{1}{3}} \right)}}\ {\rm{Y}}\left( {\rm{s}} \right) = \frac{9}{{\left( {{\rm{s}} + \frac{1}{6}} \right)\left( {\frac{{ - 1}}{6} + \frac{1}{3}} \right)}} + \frac{9}{{\left( {{\rm{s}} + \frac{1}{3}} \right)\left( {\frac{{ - 1}}{3} + \frac{1}{6}} \right)}}\ {\rm{Y}}\left( {\rm{s}} \right) = \frac{{54}}{{{\rm{s}} + \frac{1}{6}}} - \frac{{54}}{{\left( {{\rm{s}} + \frac{1}{3}} \right)}} \end{array}

Apply Inverse Laplace transform we get

y(t)=54[e16te13t]u(t){\rm{y}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right) = 54\left[ {{{\rm{e}}^{ - \frac{1}{6}{\rm{t}}}} - {{\rm{e}}^{ - \frac{1}{3}{\rm{t}}}}} \right]{\rm{u}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right)

Consider the function f(z)=z+zf\left( z \right) = z + {z^*} where  is a complex variable and  denotes its complex conjugate. Which one of the following is TRUE?

  1. ((a))

    f(z)f\left( z \right) is both continuous and analytic

  2. ((b))

    f(z)f\left( z \right) is continuous but not analytic

  3. ((c))

    f(z)f\left( z \right) is not continuous but is analytic

  4. ((d))

    f(z)f\left( z \right) is neither continuous nor analytic

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

f(z)f\left( z \right) is continuous but not analytic

Concept:

Function of a Complex Variable: ω = f (z) = u (x, y) + i v (x, y) Where x, y ϵ R  and  z = x + iy

u (x, y), v (x, y) are real valued functions. 

Analytic function: A function f (z) is said to be Analytic in a region R of z-plane if it is differentiable at every point of R. 

Necessary Condition for function f (z) to be Analytic: 

1. ux, uy, vx, vy\frac{\partial u}{\partial x},\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}, \ \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}, \ \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}  exist 2. f (z) to satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann (C-R) equation.

 ux =  vy, uy =  vx\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}\ =\ \ \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}, \ \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}\ =\ - \ \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}

Calculation: 

z;=;x;+;iy;;z;=;x;;iy ;f(z);=;(x;+;iy);+;(x;;iy);=;2x\begin{array}{l} {\rm{z;}} = {\rm{;x;}} + {\rm{;iy;}} \Rightarrow {\rm{;}}{{\rm{z}}^{\rm{*}}}{\rm{;}} = {\rm{;x;}}-{\rm{;iy}}\ \therefore {\rm{;f}}\left( {\rm{z}} \right){\rm{;}} = {\rm{;}}\left( {{\rm{x;}} + {\rm{;iy}}} \right){\rm{;}} + {\rm{;}}\left( {{\rm{x;}} - {\rm{;iy}}} \right){\rm{;}} = {\rm{;}}2{\rm{x}} \end{array}

;f(z)\therefore ;f\left( z \right) is finite everywhere and it is continuous and differentiable.

But it doesn't satisfy the CR equations.

So we can say that f(z)f\left( z \right) is continuous but not analytic.

CAYLEY-HAMILTON THEOREM:

Statement: Every square matrix satisfies its own characteristic equation.

The Cayley–Hamilton theorem states that substituting the matrix A for x in polynomial, p(x) = det(xIn – A), results in the zero matrices, such as:

p(A) = 0

It states that a ‘n x n’ matrix A is demolished by its characteristic polynomial det(tI – A), which is monic polynomial of degree n.

Uses of Cayley-Hamilton theorem:

(1) To calculate the positive integral powers of A

(2) To calculate the inverse of a square matrix A

Calculation:

P3=P{P^3} = P

From Cauley Hamilton theorem λ3=λ{\lambda ^3} = \lambda

Concept:

When two points (x1, y1. z1) and (x1, y1. z2) are mentioned find the relation in terms of the third variable in terms of x,y, and z:

xx1x2x1=yy1y2y1=zz1z2z1=t\dfrac{{{{x}} - x_1}}{{x_2 - x_1}} = \dfrac{{{{y}} - y_1}}{{y_2 - y_1}} = \dfrac{{{{z}} - z_1}}{{z_2 - z_1}} = {{t}}

Put the value of z,y, and z and use the end-points of one variable.

Calculation:

Given the network is:

In the given network,

R2, R4, and R5 are directional overcurrent relays. R1, R3 and R6 are non-directional overcurrent relays.

For the fault on line 2 i.e. L2, R3 and R4 must be operated. If R4 is not operated then R1 and R6 will operate.

Therefore, back up for Rare R1 and R6

Concept:

Capacitors in Series: When capacitors are connected in series, the equivalent capacitance (Ceq) is less than the smallest individual capacitance in the series combination.

The voltage across each capacitor can be different, but the charge (Q) on each capacitor is the same.

Equivalent Capacitance: 1Ceq=1C1+1C2+1C3++1Cn \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_3} + \cdots + \frac{1}{C_n} \

Voltage Distribution: The total voltage (Vtotal) across the series combination is the sum of the voltages across each capacitor:

Vtotal=V1+V2+V3++Vn  V_{total} = V_1 + V_2 + V_3 + \cdots + V_n \

Here, Vi is the voltage across capacitor (Ci).

Since the same charge (Q) is on each capacitor:

Q=C1V1=C2V2=C3V3==CnVn Q = C_1 V_1 = C_2 V_2 = C_3 V_3 = \cdots = C_n V_n \

Capacitors in Parallel: When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total (equivalent) capacitance (C_{eq}) is the sum of the individual capacitances. The voltage (V) across each capacitor is the same, but the charge on each capacitor can be different.

Equivalent CapacitanceCeq=C1+C2+C3++Cn C_{eq} = C_1 + C_2 + C_3 + \cdots + C_n \

Voltage Distribution: Each capacitor has the same voltage applied to it: Vtotal=V1=V2=V3==Vn  V_{total} = V_1 = V_2 = V_3 = \cdots = V_n \

Each capacitor stores a charge (Qi) given by:  Qi=CiVQ_i = C_i V  

The total stored charge (Qtotal) is the sum of the individual charges:  

Qtotal=Q1+Q2+Q3++Qn Q_{total} = Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 + \cdots + Q_n \

Equivalent capacitance: 1Ceq=1Ci \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \sum \frac{1}{C_i}\

Explanation:

From the given figure, it is clear that two capacitors are connected in parallel. So, the voltage across them is same.

d is also same for both capacitors.

Hence, the electric field is also the same by the following formula.

E=Vd{\rm{E}} = \frac{{{{\rm{ }}}{{\rm{ }}_{\rm{}}}{\rm{V}}}}{{\rm{d}}}

So, electrical filed in the region B is 4 kV/cm

  4. ((d))

    interchanging the terminals of both the windings.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

interchanging the terminals of the auxiliary winding.

Single-phase capacitor run induction motor

  • The direction of rotation of a single-phase capacitor run induction motor is reversed by changing the direction of the rotating magnetic field produced by the main and starter winding or auxiliary winding.
  • This can be accomplished by reversing the polarity of the starter or auxiliary winding.
  • Basically, it is done by interchanging the connections on either end of the starter or auxiliary winding.
  • Sometimes this reversal is only done by the auxiliary winding & sometimes reversal is accomplished by winding, switch, and capacitor. While the order of the switch and the capacitor does not affect the reversal, as long as they are in series connection.

Important Points

Advantages of capacitor run induction motor:

  • A Centrifugal switch is not required.
  • It has high efficiency
  • It has a high power factor because of a permanently connected capacitor.
  • It has a higher pull-out torque

 

Limitations:

  • Electrolytic capacitors cannot be used for continuous running. Therefore, paper-spaced oil-filled capacitors are used.
  • It has relatively low starting torque compared to the capacitor start induction motor.

Concept:

Kirchoff’s second law:

  • This law is also known as loop rule or voltage law (KVL) and according to it “the algebraic sum of the changes in potential in the complete traversal of a mesh (closed-loop) is zero”, i.e. Σ V = 0.
  • This law represents “conservation of energy” as if the sum of potential changes around a closed loop is not zero, unlimited energy could be gained by repeatedly carrying a charge around a loop.

For any load, current enter through positive polarity and exit from negative polarity and for source it will be reversed.

Calculation:

Apply KVL in the loop as shown below,

The current flow through 2 Ω is 5 A as shown in fig and it will give a drop of 10 V.

From the figure we get,

  • Vout + 10 + 10 = 0

Vout = 20 V

Given

\({\rm{F}} = \overline {\left( {{\rm{a}} + {\rm{̅ b}} + {\rm{c}} + {\rm{̅ d}}} \right) + \left( {{\rm{b}} + {\rm{̅ c}}} \right)}\)

Applying the De-Morgans theorem in the above function F

\(\begin{array}{l} = \overline {\left( {{\rm{a}} + {\rm{̅ b}} + {\rm{c}} + {\rm{̅ d}}} \right)} \cdot \overline {\left( {{\rm{b}} + {\rm{̅ c}}} \right)} \ \end{array}\)

Virtual ground -

The concept of the virtual ground is stated as if anyone of the i/p terminals is grounded physically the other i/p terminal will also be at ground potential even though, it is not grounded physically.

  • One key feature of an Op-Amp is the differential input, and when put together in a circuit, this can form a virtual ground.
  • The virtual ground concept is helpful for the analysis of Op Amps. This concept makes Op-Amp circuit analysis much easier.

Calculation:

Concept:

  • Lower limit of y(t) is sum of lower limit of x(t) & h(t).
  • Upper limit of y(t) is sum of upper limit of x(t) & h(t).

Explanation:

Fourier transform of x1(t) = x1(ω)

Maximum frequency components of

x1(ω) = B, rad/sec

Fourier transform of x2(t) = x2(ω)

maximum frequency component of x2(ω) = B2 rad/sec

∴ x(t) = x1(t). x2(t)

Using multiplication property in Fourier transform,

Fx(t)=x(ω)=12πx1(ω)x2(ω)F{x(t)}=x(ω)=\frac{1}{2\pi}{x_1(ω)*x_2(ω)}

So, maximum frequency component of x(ω) = B1 + B2 rad/sec

Impulse response  h(t)=e2th(t)=e^{-2|t|}

Taking Fourier transform of h(t) is,

H(ω)=44+ω2H(ω)=\frac{4}{4+ω^2}

Maximum frequency component of H(ω) = ∞

∴ y(t) = x(t) * h(t)

Fourier Transform, Y(ω) = x(ω) H(ω)

=12πx1(ω)x2(ω).H(ω)=\frac{1}{2\pi}{x_1(ω) *x_2(ω)}.H(ω)

Highest frequency component of

Y(ω) = min {x(ω), H(ω)}

Y(ω) = min {B1 + B2, ∞}

Y(ω) = B1 + B2

Minimum sampling rate = Nyquist rate

= 2 × maximum frequency component of Y(ω)

= 2 (B1 + B2) rad/sec

x2+y2+1.2xy0.1=0{x^2} + {y^2} + 1.2xy-0.1 = 0

Answer: ((a))

2,122,\frac{1}{2}

Concept:

A probability density function is a function of continuous random variable, whose integral across an interval gives the probability that the value of the variable lies within the same interval.

For a given probability density function f(x) to be valid, the integration of it over the complete range must equal 1.

Mathematically, it must satisfy:

\(\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty f\left( x \right) = 1\)

Calculation:

Given fX(x)=32e3xu(x)+ae4xu(x){{\rm{f}}_{\rm{X}}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) = \frac{3}{2}{{\rm{e}}^{ - 3{\rm{x}}}}{\rm{u}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) + {\rm{a}} \cdot {{\rm{e}}^{4{\rm{x}}}}{\rm{u}}\left( { - {\rm{x}}} \right) 

We know \(\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {{\rm{f}}_{\rm{x}}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) \cdot {\rm{dx}} = 1\) 

\(\begin{array}{l} \mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^0 {\rm{a}} \cdot {{\rm{e}}^{4{\rm{x}}}} + \mathop \smallint \limits_0^\infty \frac{3}{2} \cdot {{\rm{e}}^{ - 3{\rm{x}}}} = 1\ {\rm{a}} \cdot \left[ {\frac{{{{\rm{e}}^{4{\rm{x}}}}}}{4}} \right]{ - \infty }^0 + \frac{3}{2} \cdot \left( {\frac{{{{\rm{e}}^{ - 3{\rm{x}}}}}}{{ - 3}}} \right)0^\infty = 1\ \frac{{\rm{a}}}{4}\left[ {1 - 0} \right] - \frac{1}{2}\left[ {0 - 1} \right] = 1\ \frac{{\rm{a}}}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow {\rm{a}} = 2\ {\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{X}} \le 0} \right) = \mathop \smallint \limits{ - \infty }^0 {{\rm{f}}{\rm{X}}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) \cdot {\rm{dx}}\ = \mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^0 2 \cdot {{\rm{e}}^{4{\rm{x}}}} \cdot {\rm{dx}} = 2 \cdot \left[ {\frac{{{{\rm{e}}^{4{\rm{x}}}}}}{4}} \right]_\infty ^0 = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {1 - 0} \right] = \frac{1}{2} \end{array}\)

G(s)=K(s+1)s(1+Ts)(1+2s),K>0,T>0.G\left( s \right) = \frac{{K\left( {s + 1} \right)}}{{s\left( {1 + Ts} \right)\left( {1 + 2s} \right)}},K > 0,T > 0.

The closed loop system will be stable if,

  1. ((a))

    0>T<4(k+1)k10 > T < \frac{{4\left( {k + 1} \right)}}{{k - 1}}

Answer: ((c))

0<K<T+2T2;0 < K < \frac{{T + 2}}{{T - 2}};

Characteristic equation 1 + G(s) H(s) = 0

As it is a unity feedback control system H(s) = 1

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

⇒ s + 2s2 + s2T + 2s3T + Ks + K = 0

⇒ (2T)s3 + (2 + T)s2 + (1 + K)s + K = 0

From R-H stability criteria

Characteristic equation is 1 + G(s) H(s) = 0

1+G(s)H(s)=1+Ks(s1)(s4){1+\rm{G}}\left( {\rm{s}} \right)H(s) = 1+ \frac{{{\rm{Ks}}}}{{\left( {{\rm{s}} - 1} \right)\left( {{\rm{s}} - 4} \right)}}

⇒ (s - 1)(s - 4) + Ks = 0

∴ K=(s1)(s4)s {\rm{K}} = \frac{{ - \left( {{\rm{s}} - 1} \right)\left( {{\rm{s}} - 4} \right)}}{{\rm{s}}}

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