5. Father is aged three times more than his son Sunil. After 8 years,
he would be two and a half times of Sunil's age. After further 8
years, how many times would he be of Sunil's age?
a) 4 times
b) 5 times
c) 2 times
d) 3 times
Answer: (c)
Solution:
Assume that Sunil's present age = x.
Then, father's present age = 3x + x = 4x
After 8 years, father's age = 212 times of Sunil’s' age

⇒ (4x + 8) = 212(x + 8)
⇒ 4x + 8 = 52(x + 8)
⇒ 8x + 16 = 5x + 40

3


⇒ 3x = 40 – 16 = 24
⇒ x = 24/3 = 8
After further 8 years,
Sunil's age = x + 8 + 8 = 8 + 8 + 8 = 24
Father's age = 4x + 8 + 8 = 4 × 8 + 8 + 8 = 48
Father's age/Sunil's age = 48/24 = 2

8. A vessel is filled with liquid, 3 parts of which are water and 5
parts syrup. How much of the mixture must be drawn off and
replaced with water so that the mixture may be half water and
half syrup?
a) 1/3
b) 1/4
c) 1/5
d) 1/7

5


Answer: (c)

Solution:

Suppose the vessel initially contains 8 liters of liquid.

Let x liters of this liquid be replaced with water.

Quantity of water in new mixture = �3 − 3 + � litres
8

Quantity of syrup in new mixture = �5 − 58 � litres

∴ �3 − 3 + � = �5 − 58 �
8

⇒ 5x + 24 = 40 – 5x

⇒ 10x = 26

⇒ x = 8
5

So, part of the mixture replaced = �58 × 18� = 1

9. What day of the week will 22 Apr 2222 be?

a) Monday

b) Tuesday

c) Sunday

d) Thursday

Answer: (a)

Solution:

22 Apr 2222 = (2221 years + period from 1-Jan-2222 to 22-

Apr-2222)

We know that number of odd days in 400 years = 0

Hence the number of odd days in 2000 years = 0 (Since 2000 is

a perfect multiple of 400)

6


Number of odd days in the period 2001 - 2200
= Number of odd days in 200 years
= 5 × 2 = 10 = 3

(As we can reduce perfect multiples of 7 from odd days without
affecting anything)
Number of odd days in the period 2201 - 2221

= 16 normal years + 5 leap years
= 16 × 1 + 5 × 2
= 16 + 10
= 26 = 5 odd days
Number of days from 1-Jan-2222 to 22 Apr 2222
= 31 (Jan) + 28 (Feb) + 31 (Mar) + 22(Apr) =112
= 112 days = 0 odd day
Total number of odd days = (0 + 3 + 5 + 0)

= 8 = 1 odd day
1 odd day = Monday
Hence 22 Apr 2222 is Monday.
10. A clock is set at 5 am. If the clock loses 16 minutes in 24
hours, what will be the true time when the clock indicates 10 pm
on 4th day?
a) 9.30 pm
b) 10 pm
c) 10.30 pm
d) 11 pm
Answer: (d)

7


Solution:

Time from 5 am to 10 pm on the 4th day = 3 days 17 hours = 3

× 24 + 17 = 89 hours

Given that clock loses 16 minutes in 24 hours
⇒ > 23 hour 44 minutes of the given clock = 24 hours in a

normal clock

⇒ 23 44 hours of the given clock = 24 hours in a normal clock
60

⇒ 23 11 hours of the given clock = 24 hours in a normal clock
15

⇒ 356 hours of the given clock = 24 hours in a normal clock
15

⇒ 89 hours of the given clock = 24× 15 × 89 hours in a normal
356

clock = 24 × 15 = 6 × 15 = 90 hours
4

So the correct time is 90 hours after 5 am = 3 days 18 hours

after 5 am = 11 pm on the 4th day

from equation (i) and (ii),

∠ . = 2∠
1+

⇒ − tan−1( ) = 0

⇒ = tan−1(2 × 0.5 × 1) = 450

As we know, in inductor current lags the voltage by 900 so

inductor voltage phase angle = 900 + 450 = 1350 i.e., inductor

voltage leads the capacitor voltage by 1350.

21. Which one of the following pairs is NOT correctly matched?

(input x(t) and output y(t)).

a) Unstable system: ( ) − 0.1 ( ) = ( )


b) Nonlinear system: ( ) + 2 2 ( ) = ( )


c) Non-causal system y(t) = x (t + 2)

d) Non-dynamic System, y(t) = 3x2(t)

Answer: (b)

Solution:

(i) For the system to be stable, the roots of the characteristic

equation should lie in the LHS of s-plane.

( ) − 0.1 ( ) = ( )


⇒ ( ) = 1
( ) −0.1

⇒ s = 0.1 which is in RHS of s-plane, hence the system is

unstable.

(ii) The system is linear if the response to ax1(t) + bx2(t) is ay1(t)

+ by2(t).

( ) + 2 2 ( ) = ( )


The condition of linearity is satisfied here, hence the system is

linear.

(iii) A system is casual if the output at any time depends only on

values of the input at the present time and in the past.

18


(iv) A system is said to be memoryless or static if its output for
each value of the independent variable at a given time is
dependent only on the input at the same time.

2. Growing exponential
3. Impulse
4. Causal
5. Sinusoid
Codes:
A BCD
a) 4 1 5 3
b) 1 4 5 3
c) 4 2 5 1
d) 2 5 4 1
Answer: (a)

19


Solution:

i) ( ) + ( ) = 0


Taking Laplace transform, (1 + Ks) F(s) = 0

Characteristic equation is 1 + Ks = 0

Complementary function C.F = e-t/K

which is decaying exponential

ii) ( ) + 2 ( ) = 0
2

Its Laplace transform is (1 + Ks2) F(s) = 0

Characteristic equation is 1 + Ks2 = 0

Roots are s = ±j√1

C.F = cos 1 + sin 1
√ √

which is a sinusoid function

iii) ( ){1 − ( )} = 0

∵ ( ) = 1 > 0

0 < 0

So for t < 0, f(t) = 0

Therefore, f(t) is a causal function

delivered by the motor?
a) 25 kW in (i) and 75 kW in (ii)
b) 25 kW in (i) and 50 kW in (ii)
c) 50 kW in (i) and 75 kW in (ii)
d) 50 kW in (i) and 50 kW in (ii)
Answer: (b)

22


Solution:

Armature voltage control has constant torque mode so

Power = torque × speed

⇒ P ∝ speed

⇒ P (at half the rated speed) = 50 = 25
2

Field control has constant power mode.

So, P (at 1.5 times the rated speed) = 50 kW

27. Neglecting all losses, how is the developed torque (T) of a dc

voltage, related to its output power (P)?
a) T ∝√P

b) T ∝ P

c) T2 ∝ P3

d) T is independent of P

Answer: (b)

Solution:
