    16\frac{1}{6}

  3. ((c))

    56\frac{5}{6}

  4. ((d))

    13\frac{1}{3}

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

136\frac{1}{36}

Probability of getting "1" on 1st roll = 16\frac{1}{6}

Probability of getting "4" on 2nd roll = 16\frac{1}{6}

Since, both events are independent

Probability of getting "1" on first roll and the "4" on the second roll = 16×16=136\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{36}

Hence, the correct option is (1).

Answer: ((b))

A majority of tobacco users who were advised to stop consuming tobacco did not attempt to do so.

The correct answer is 'Option 2' i.e. 'A majority of tobacco users who were advised to stop consuming tobacco did not attempt to do so.'

Concept:

A recent survey shows that 65% of tobacco users were advised to stop consuming tobacco. The survey also shows that 3 out of 10 tobacco users attempted to stop using tobacco.

Option (C) cannot be inferred with certainty, as according to the given information 3 out of 10 numerical tobacco users attempted to stop using tobacco, which is not a majority.

Option (A) and option (D) cannot be inferred with certainty, as there is no information about how much tobacco users successfully stop consuming tobacco.

Option (B) can be inferred with certainty, as 3 out of 10 tobacco users attempted to stop using tobacco; which means 7 users did not attempt to do this, and 7 out of 10 is a majority.

Hence, the correct option is (2).

A 10-pole, 50 Hz, 240 V, single phase induction motor runs at 540 RPM while driving rated load. The frequency of induced rotor currents due to backward field is

  1. ((a))

    100 Hz

  2. ((b))

    95 Hz

  3. ((c))

    10 Hz

  4. ((d))

    5 Hz

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

95 Hz

Given : P = 10, f = 50 Hz, Vf = 240 V, Nr = 540 pm

The frequency of induced rotor current due to backward field is given by,

Ns=120fP=120×5010=600rpmN_s=\frac{120 f}{P}=\frac{120 \times 50}{10}=600 \mathrm{rpm}

Sf=NsNrNsS_f=\frac{N_s-N_r}{N_s} = 600540600=60600=0.1\frac{600-540}{600}=\frac{60}{600}=0.1

As we know, backward field will rotate opposite to forward field so it will try to make the rotor in opposite direction so slip will be

Sb=Ns+NrNsS_b=\frac{N_s+N_r}{N_s} =600+540600=1140600=1.9=\frac{600+540}{600}=\frac{1140}{600}=1.9

As we know, frequency in the rotor is slip frequency.

So, frequency due to backward slip will be Sbfs = 1.9 × 50 = 95 Hz

Hence, the correct option is (B).

A continuous-time system that is initially at rest is described by

dy(t)dt+3y(t)=2x(t)\rm \frac{dy(t)}{dt}+3y(t)=2x(t),

where 𝑥(𝑡) is the input voltage and 𝑦(𝑡) is the output voltage. The impulse response of the system is

  1. ((a))

    3e-2t

  2. ((b))

    13e2tu(t)\rm \frac{1}{3}e^{-2t}u(t)

  3. ((c))

    2 e-3t u(t)

  4. ((d))

    2e-3t

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

2 e-3t u(t)

Given: dy(t)dt+3y(t)=2x(t)\frac{d y(t)}{d t}+3 y(t)=2 x(t)

Taking Laplace transform on both sides, we get

sY(s) + 3Y(s) = 2X(s)

⇒ (s + 3)Y(s) = 2X(s)

⇒ Y(s)X(s)=2s+3 \frac{Y(s)}{X(s)}=\frac{2}{s+3}

⇒ H(s)=2s+3H(s)=\frac{2}{s+3}

∴ Impulse response will be, h(t) = L-1(H(s)) = 2e-3tu(t)

Hence, the correct option is (C).

The Fourier transform 𝑋(𝜔) of the signal 𝑥(𝑡) is given by

𝑋(𝜔) = 1, for |𝜔| < 𝑊0

= 0, for |𝜔| > 𝑊0

  1. ((a))

    𝑥(𝑡) tends to be an impulse as 𝑊0 → ∞

  2. ((b))

    𝑥(0) decreases as 𝑊0 increases.

  3. ((c))

    At t=π2W0,x(t)=1π\rm t=\frac{\pi}{2W_0}, x(t)=-\frac{1}{\pi}

  4. ((d))

    At t=π2W0,x(t)=1π\rm t=\frac{\pi}{2W_0}, x(t)=\frac{1}{\pi}

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

𝑥(𝑡) tends to be an impulse as 𝑊0 → ∞

Given:

 X(ω)={1, for ω<ω0 0, for ω>ω0X(ω)= \begin{cases}1, & \text { for }|ω|<ω_0 \ 0, & \text { for }|ω|>ω_0\end{cases}

By taking inverse Fourier transform,

x(t)=sinω0tπt x(t)=\frac{\sin ω_0 t}{\pi t}

x(π2ω0)=2ω0π×πsinω0×π2ω0x\left(\frac{\pi}{2 ω_0}\right)=\frac{2 ω_0}{\pi \times \pi} \sin ω_0 \times \frac{\pi}{2 ω_0} =2ω0π2sinπ2=2ω0π2=\frac{2 ω_0}{\pi^2} \sin \frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{2 ω_0}{\pi^2}

So, option (C) and (D) are wrong.

x(0)=Ltt0sinω0tπt=x(0)=\underset{t \rightarrow 0}{L t} \frac{\sin ω_0 t}{\pi t}= Ltt0ω0cosω0tπ=ω0π\underset{t \rightarrow 0}{L t} \frac{ω_0 \cos ω_0 t}{\pi}=\frac{ω_0}{\pi}

So, x(0) ∝ ω0 Option (B) is wrong.

When ω0​ → ∞, X(ω) will be a D.C signal and inverse Fourier transform of a D.C signal will be impulse signal.

So, option (A) is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (A).

  1. ((a))

    Discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n] converges if R is |𝑧| > 3

  2. ((b))

    Discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n] converges if R is 23<z<3\rm \frac{2}{3}<|z|<3

  3. ((c))

    Discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n] converges if R is such that x[n] is a left-sided sequence

  4. ((d))

    Discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n] converges if R is such that x[n] is a right-sided sequence

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

Discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n] converges if R is 23<z<3\rm \frac{2}{3}<|z|<3

Given:

 X(z)=4z(z15)(z23)(z3)X(z)=\frac{4 z}{\left(z-\frac{1}{5}\right)\left(z-\frac{2}{3}\right)(z-3)}

Poles of X(z) are located at z = 15\frac{1}{5}, z = 23\frac{2}{3} and z = 3.

For DTFT to converge, the ROC of Z-transform of x() should contain unit circle.

If x(n) is a right sided sequence then the ROC is |z|>3 which does not include unit circle. So, option (D) and (A) are wrong.

If R.O.C. is 23\frac{2}{3} < |z| < 3, the R.O.C. includes unit circle. So, option (B) is correct.

If x(n) is a left sided then R.O.C will be |z| < 15\frac{1}{5} which does not include unit circle. So, option (C) is wrong.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

0.2a × 175 + 40 = 0.4 × 115 + 30

a = 1.028

Now, P1+P2P_1^{\prime}+P_2^{\prime} = 175 + 115 = 290 mW

a' = 1.1 × 1.028 = 1.1308

F1 = 0.1 × 1.1308P12P_1^{2{\prime}} + 40p1p_1^{\prime} + 120

For optimal load, IC1I_{C_{\mathrm{1}}}IC2I_{C_{\mathrm{2}}}

0.226p1p_1^{\prime} + 40 = 0.4p2p_2^{\prime} + 30

0.226p1p_1^{\prime} - 0.4p2p_2^{\prime} = -10   ...(i)

P1+P2P_1^{\prime}+P_2^{\prime} = 290

p1p_1^{\prime} = 169 MW

p2p_2^{\prime} = 121 MW

So, P1 decreases

F when P1 = 175 MW and P2 = 115 MW

F1 = 0.1 × 1.028 × 1752 + 40 × 175 + 120 = 10268.2 Rs/hr

F2 = 0.2 × 1152 + 30 × 115 + 100 = 6195 Rs/hr

F = F1 + F2 = 16463 Rs/hr

F1F^{\prime}_1 = 0.1 × 1.1308 × 1692 + 40 × 169 + 120 = 10109.6

F2F^{\prime}_2 = 0.2 × 1212 + 30 × 121 + 100 = 6658.2

F' = F1F^{\prime}_1 + F2F^{\prime}_2 = 16767.8 Rs/hr

So, F increase

Hence, the correct option is (A).

σo2=110000n=110000(XXˉ)2\sigma_o^2=\frac{1}{10000} \sum_{n=1}^{10000}(X-{\bar X})^2

Given X̅ = 0

σo2=110000Xn2\sigma_o^2=\frac{1}{10000} \sum X_n^2

We know that E[σ12]=σ12=σ02E\left[\sigma_1^2\right]=\sigma_1^2=\sigma_0^2

Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

Step size = 5281=5255 \frac{5}{2^8-1}=\frac{5}{255}

Analog input = Step size × (decimal equivalent of binary code)

1.992=5255×D 1.992 =\frac{5}{255} \times D

D=1.992×2555=(101.592)10D =\frac{1.992 \times 255}{5}=(101.592)_{10}

For decimal equivalent of 101, 

Analog input = 5255×101=1.980\frac{5}{255} \times 101=1.980

Here 1.98 is less than 1.992 so, we have to take decimal equivalent as 102

For (102)10 Analog input = 5255×102=2\frac{5}{255} \times 102=2

2 is near about 1.992 so, decimal equivalent will 102 in hexadecimal, (102)10 = 66 H

    When p tends to 0, the area enclosed by the curve is 1.

  4. ((d))

    When p = 1, the area enclosed by the curve is 2. 

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

When p = 2, the area enclosed by the curve is π.

Given equation in a 2-D real space is,

|x1|p + |x2|p = 1, p > 0

Let p = 1,

|x1| + |x2| = 1 is a square

∴ Area = 4 × 12\frac{1}{2} × 1 × 1 = 2

Let p = 2

|x1|2 + |x2|2 = 1

x12+x22=1x_1^2 + x_2^2 = 1 which is a circle of radius 1.

∴ Area = π × 12 = π

For p = 0, the curve does not exists.

Let p = ∞

|x1|p + |x2|p = 1

If x1 < 1, then x2 = 1 or -1

It will form square of side 2.

Area = (Side)2 = 22 = 4

Hence, the correct options are (A), (B) & (D)

Net force applied on charge, FTotal=Fe+Fm=q.E+q(V×B)\vec F_{Total} = \vec F_e + \vec F_m = q. \vec E + q(\vec V \times \vec B)

Initially charge is at rest. No magnetic force is experienced, due to electric field charge moves in the z direction with increasing velocity. Now because of increasing v Fm\vec F_m increases in perpendicular of velocity vector and creates a cycloid trajectory.
